Check out this awesome new production blog from the ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,’ which premiers in theaters on December 14, 2012. This is the eighth behind the scenes video from Peter Jackson and company, which is something that most filmmakers won’t make available until the DVD. According to this featurette, we should be in store for more video blogs after the first Hobbit film is released. What do you think of the footage?
-Synopsis: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever … Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths ofguile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

It's surprising how much effort can go into these behind the scenes videos sometimes. It's almost as if they hired a top-notch new york video production company just to make the video.
