New Zealand really made itself known on the Hollywood scale after the likes of The Piano but really it was a trilogy by Peter Jackson that caused an explosion and formed a decent part of the reason for me wanting to visit.
In Wellington I got myself on a Lord of the Rings full-day tour. EPIC.
Me as Legolas in Rivendell.
Not one of my finest moments but it was fun...
This tree was actually never in the film, merely for the famous promotional picture of Legolas ahead of Fellowship of the Ring.
Other highlights:
Hiding from the evil forces as we left Hobbiton.
*I remain in touch with Frodo (left) and the Black Rider. Good times.
Visiting Weta Cave.
And actually seeing something on The Hobbit set from outside Stonestreet Studios.
*That was taken from inside a bus. We weren't allowed to get out for likely retribution.
It was worth every cent. There were heaps of locations in between dressing up and watching clips. Decent amount of Subway for lunch (that one shop would be loving the crowds) and a fun group, even with a change in some people midway through the day. Movie Tours (with Ted). Get on it.

Ok, went overboard with the title there didn't I? But I was ON A FILM SET today and it kicked arse! A new Australian film The Front, set in France in WWI, is being filmed on the outskirts of Wongarbon, a village 15 minutes away from Dubbo. I've been following the audition process through the past two months and now they're finally in action!
I was lucky enough to talk to director Johan Earl while he was in makeup, and the morale on set was high after six days of long shooting. Other filming in Sydney has been completed so this is getting to the end of the production road, and he was rather pleased with how it was going. Look out for the goss on Monday online for Daily Liberal and transcripts with Earl and Dubbo actress/film set lender Sarah Mawbey on Cut Print Review soon!
Great way to end the week... but I want to know who else has been on a film set? Anyone?
