LOTR Movie Magic at the WETA Workshop in Dunedin, New Zealand S3:E14

Описание: In episode 14 of our South Pacific Cruise we arrive in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. We once again forgo the incredibly expensive NCL cruise lines excursions and join XPLOR Tours on a Half Day Lord of the Rings adventure. We drive through the city on our way to a forest where many scenes from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King were filmed. We feel as through we're walking through Middle-Earth in search of Hobbits and other creatures. We then travel to the WETA Workshop where many of the props, wardrobe, characters, and creatures from the Lord of the Rings films were created. We see many fine examples of the artistry and imagination the studio has provided for Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit series and many other Hollywood films.

Our video includes excerpts of the films from New Line Cinema as additional descriptors when identifying the exact filming locations in the woods. We also provide an up close look at many of the props and designs created by the WETA Workshop for numerous movies and museum displays. Among the collection are many items from the Gallipoli Exhibition at the Te Papa Museum in Wellington. After our journey of discovery, we return to the ship so we can continue our exploration of New Zealand.

Our cruise on the Norwegian Cruise Lines Sun takes us to numerous islands including Bora Bora, Rarotonga, American Samoa, Pago Pago, The Kingdom of Samoa, Fiji and Vanuatu, Then we arrive in Australia where we make port calls in Brisbane, Melbourne, Portland, Adelaide, and Kangaroo Island. After that, we visit Hobart, Tasmania before we sail through the fjords of New Zealand's Fjordlands National Park. We round off the cruise with stops in Dunedin, Wellington, Picton, Napier, Tauranga and Aukland.

As usual, we have made some prearranged tours prior to sailing, but in some places we leave the ship with very little idea of what we are going to do that day. Whether planned or spontaneous, we manage to have a fantastic time as we experience our first trip down under.
