- NONE and I mean NONE of these clips belong to me!!! Full credit and authority goes to Warner Bros!!! ~PROPERTY OF WARNER BROS~
MORE VIDEOS COMING SOON!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the horrible frame rate, I had to go to extreme lengths to find this at all, haha. I'll try and fix it for future videos.
That's alright. I still enjoyed the video.
lol, i'm like, is my computer dying? XD
What a fantastic job, sitting around drawing monsters all day
I love how 90% of his earlier designs look absolute disgusting but he still turned out to be beautiful in the end
Glad to see some of these survive. I went looking for the five hour documentary for the movie that was here a few months ago and it's now gone :(
I mean it's still there, we just can't watch it anymore because it was copyrighted by Warner Bros. It's sad to not be able to watch the full documentary, it even had a part 2 which was also 5 hours! Do you remember what the rest of the documentary was about?
@@meggiegomz There was Smaug, then Beorn and his house and the construction diaries that went into that, the creation of Dale and the Dwarves and Bard's costume, a bit on Erebor and the design philosophy there, making Thranduil's Hall and how there were way too many waterfalls at first, um... I dunno, that's why I want to re-watch this, it's been too long
Do you know where I can watch it ?
Did they deleted it ? I watched it once. it was fun to watch how they made the movie.
Its a shame if its gone
Hear hear, I'd pay good money to watch the full version again

I don't know if the 5-hour documentary is blocked for you, but this is the vid I got the clips contained in this video from.
I can’t even imagine the amount of stress and pressure that was on the shoulders of these people having to create in film the most famous dragon of all time. No matter how you feel about the Hobbit films, they did a fantastic job and worked tirelessly with passion to create him.
Smaug design and his scene with Bilbo are at the same level as lotr
Um, this whole thing depends on feels, so yes it does matter what we feel, and I disagree with your opinion about the final design of smaug. And I disagree with what some of the choices and arguments they said in the movie.
It literally lacks 2 arms
@@spinosaurusstrikerthats what wyverns are yes
the Komodo Dragon design could be the inspiration for Glaurung, if he manages to make it to the big screen (i'd love to see a series on the Silmarillion, but i won't hold my breath).
Take Smaugs body and make it a little longer and heavier maybe with a more armoured look and give him some shorter robust limbs so he can crawl and slither around the battlefield, bridges and tunnels.
Smaug's mouth movements and the way he spoke when he and Bilbo met and were sizing eachother up, it reminded me of Scar from Lion King.
I like how most of the concept art has the 1998 Godzilla chin
Love the design, absolute perfection. Have any of you ever realized that Smaug’s eyes remind us of the eye of Sauron?
At the end of the video when you guys are celebrating the completion of the first part of Smaug is great leadership! It is certainly hard work behind this and a great deal of team effort. Well done!
Concept art with just pencil is awesome.
It's a crying shame that they didn't go with the model at 7:12. Though considering how heavy the head, alone, must have been... it might've been impossible for him to take flight - no matter the wing size.
Gino is such a genius! What an incredible artist!
Brother!!! Thank you for this... I remember I watched it some years ago and didn't find it anymore. It's a huge amount of information for who's aiming for a vfx career.

I recall a quote from Grosse Point Blank. The killer's secretary commented on her high-school reunion, "It was as though everyone had swelled".
My favorite concept was the drooling fire.
2:18 "so we dutifully noted 'huge'" is a very funny line.
LotR had about 5 years pre-production...Hobbit was still doing pre-production during post-production. That's what separated the two
Because WB wouldn't give them the time to finish pre-production.
HEY GINO! I AM NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!
it sfunny seeing all these guys working on the lord of the rings so old
Thank god they didn't use most of those other designs. Smaug is supposed to be a dragon, not an alien or Lovecraftian abomination.
And they went with a wyvern
@@JavierEscuella1911 Which is at least consistent with the Smaug firework’s design in FOTR.
@@JavierEscuella1911 dragons have no distinct shape. and if the creator says it's a dragon, it's a dragon.
both "dragon" and "wyvern" basically mean "serpent".
why are they treated as different entities? my best guess is Dungeons and Dragons.
it doesn't matter what shape it takes or what name it's given; it's still the same beast.
@@jacktheomnithere2127 you’re right
People get caught up in semantics and definitions. Dragon, wyvern, serpent, snake, lizard, worm, slug.
A four-legged dragon would've been cumbersome. Imagine a four-legged creature trying to waddle through the sea of gold in Erebor. It would have been like a dog splashing in shallow water. Smaug needed to be agile, slithering and sinister, despite his old age. Above all he needed to be a character than simply a cool and creative depiction of a fantasy creature.
Six limbs for a vertebrate is also a big disadvantage. Narure has experimented with enough creature designs to know what works and what doesn't. Six limbs requires more energy, more demand for sustainance like food; they take more water, more meat, more space, and more brain command. All vertebrates have four limbs because it works. So giving Smaug four limbs just seemed more natural. They didn't have to hange what nature say already works--at least on earth; of which Arda is sort of an alternate ancient history.
It seems more like lack of imagination than anything else, many if the most agile and slithery creatures toay have more than 6 legs or any
0:38 slifer the sky dragon
Pfft 4:55 and you end up in a cartoon with this movie
Wait.....so at first........Smaug was four legged!!!
''Biggest thing in Middle-earth'' sorry my friend,but that title belongs to Ancalagon The Black.
i've yet to see movie adaptations of the First Age or the early stages of the Third, since it's when Scatha appeared. love to see what he and Glaurung would look like.
Think what you want about the movies but the final Smaug design is pretty much perfect.
Its cool, not perfect
05:01 and yet you went with a Wyvern instead...
04:26 this guy had the right idea with staying true to the source material. then your map would have matched the lord of the rings trilogy.
But why the four limbs tho? Was it laziness or dead lines?
Honestly I always said Jackson's smaug looked like a winged basilisk from harry potter
3:28 kind of looks like the Indo Rex
I was thinking the exam same thing
can you upload this video other sites, dailymotion or vimeo
I giant wyvern is and was fucking lame! Should've done what you had in the first movie
I would have gone with the serpent like design
why does it matter so much???? a dragon is a dragon
@@Segal231 because wyvern are just big fucking birds a western dragon is a beast a titan a monster
What is wrong with the framerate?! It's horrendous!!
THEY MADE A WYVERN NOT A DRAGON
Seriously the silliest and pettiest complaint, a wyvern is a fkin dragon, it makes more sense visually, anatomically and for a performance to have four limbs, it's much more functional and a more striking silhouette
@@MM------ A Wyvern isn't a true dragon
@@AdamAtrocity17 It's a dragon, probably the most varied and broadly interpreted mythical creature ever across the whole globe, what a `true` version of that ancient iconographic being is isn't for you to say, the question is what's best for a film in a certain context: the answer is one that is believable, which your eyes trust
@@MM------ A dragon has four limbs and wings. A wyvern has two legs and wings
@@AdamAtrocity17 Jesus christ
then they choosed the most ordinary dragon. shame
