There seems to be a lot more CGI inThe Hobbitcompared to theLord Of The Ringstrilogy.
What were the benefits of switching to this from the previous physical and tactile world?
If everythings in the computer and digital you have more creative freedom.
So all the wide shots of the sets were CG?
Including all the stuff under the mountains such as the Goblin Town?
What were the biggest challenges of working within the 48fps HFR?
We used it creatively, but really it was there to help with the presence in 3D.
Did you have a favourite creature you created this time round?
I think he is just really enjoyable to watch.
Is there anything you wished you done better?
No, I think we got a chance to get everything in there to the best we know how.
Although teased, can you tell us anything more of what we can expect from Smaug and the Necromancer?
Any ideas on how the Battle of the Five Armies will work?
Not exactly, weve got a few ideas.
We havent got to it yet!
We dont want to rush these things you know.
Finally, whats your favourite of the four films so far?
Oh thats a good question.
Id still have to sayReturn Of The Kingbecause it completes the arc.
Joe Letteri, thank you very much.
