The Sound of "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"

For someone who enjoys behind-the-scenes magic, this was a great video exclusive by the sound team (Park Road Post Studios) for "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"  and I had to agree, the music seemed to wrap me in my seat during the film and accented scenes or sequences on the right note. Truly, I'm amazed how every element worked together to bring this project in its final form.

The Art of The Hobbit By J.R.R. Tolkien

With  January nearing the end...belated Happy 2014! Hope January's been treating everyone just swell!

So after ending last year with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, I was quite unprepared and thrilled at the same time what the second installment brought. Yes, I refrained from checking the Production Notes from TheHobbitBlog.

There were a lot of things going on and the second movie did beg for several more viewings unfortunately, I was unable to go back to the cinema. So I'll be patiently waiting for the extended versions from both films to grace the video display stands here soon.

Mr. Gary Guttman also tweeted whether we wanted to hear orchestra or electronic? I was too late to show my 'hand' since my Twitter page kept freezing but reading it now, it was mix between orchestra and electronic. I think both can be a good move.


Looks like the first arc will run the whole of Season 1

@yhtomitb @Timbo02 First arc is blocked out for 13 eps. #PowerOn
