The ultimate celebration of the first Hobbit movie reveals the
culmination of the creative vision for the film through exclusive
interviews with the designers, cast and crew, and more than 500
previously unpublished photographs, written and designed by the
team at Weta Workshop. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Chronicles
- Creatures and Characters explores the amazing cast of heroes and
villains, beasts and beings that populate Middle-earth in the first
chapter of Peter Jackson's film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The
Hobbit. Richly illustrated with behind-the-scenes photographs,
digital renders and film stills, this comprehensive book goes
species by species, character by character, through the film's huge
ensemble of characters and bustling menagerie of creatures, both
physical and digital, telling the stories of how each came to be
realized for the film. In first-hand quotes from the actors,
make-up artists, digital effects artists, dialect coaches,
prosthetics technicians, movement coach and many other crew, the
stories of the production unfold, processes are described and
insights into characters shared. As a bonus feature, unique to this
book, there is a special fold-out Character Size Chart, which
compares all the major creatures and characters of the film, from
Radagast's hedgehog friend to the towering Stone Giants! Compiled
by Weta Workshop designer Daniel Falconer, and featuring a wealth
of stunning imagery, this book puts the reader face to face with
the Dwarf heroes of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the dark
denizens of Middle-earth, such as Orcs, Goblins, Trolls and Wargs,
and of course, the hobbit himself, Bilbo Baggins.
