    Hobbiton Movie Set

    January 14 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    They built a hobbit home, and sized everything to scale, that you get to walk thru. In the picture with the fire place, some kid jumped into my picture in front of the doorway, so you can get a sense of scale. It was impressive to see. They said that for the parts of the movie inside Bilbo's home, they had two identical movie sets except one was hobbit size and one was human size. So they would film Bilbo in the human size set and everyone else in the hobbit size set.Read more

    The set design was amazing. [Mark]
