Being huuuuge Lord of the Rings fans, Hobbiton wasn't quite enough for Hugh and I so we did a full day location tour with Rover Rings Tour :D
It was fantastic to see where the hobbits have to "Get off the road quick!" from the nazguls (Hugh and I had a reenactment hiding under the space where the tree was!),  gardens of Isengard, Poets park where they filmed the fellowship row down the river in boats, Rivendell and also got a tour round the Weta workshops in Mirramar where they make all the props, models etc (where this picture is taken). From swords and chainlinks to costumes, make up and animatronics it's all made here. Being in Weta was fascinating to not only see such exquisite detail but also the hard work they put into every little thing they do and make it come alive on screen. I was in awe as it's pretty much my dream to work somewhere like that, use my art skills and be a part of film production. Hopefully someday <3
