The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Chronicles: Cloaks & Daggers

Video Player is loading.

This fourth book in the series focuses primarily on the props, costumes, and sets that were built for the Hobbit movies. Reading through this, its pretty mind blowing to see just how much detail and work goes into making a movie like this. Most people never think about the difference between elven and dwarvish eathing utensils for instance. The artists and designers of the movie certainly do however. A large amount of time goes into designing and building the props, some of which may only be on screen for seconds at most. Costumes is another area where there is just an insane amount of work and detail involved. Take footwear for instance. There are 13 dwarves in the films, each needing there own individual set of boots that had to be designed and then crafted from scratch. The way the movie is shot there are also large and small scale doubles for the actors, that is how they can make 6 foot tall actors appear as 4 foot tall dwarves. So there you have to add in extra pairs of boots for the scale doubles. They then also made lightweight versions that the actors could wear in scenes where they were fighting or running. On top of that you can add shoes for the stunt doubles and each of the 13 dwarves needed something like 7 - 8 pairs of hand crafted boots, and that's just the dwarves! It really makes you appreciate how much work is involved.

After getting two of these Hobbit books compiled by Weta designer Daniel Falconer I knew I had to get them all because they are such beautiful books that celebrate all the hard work, dedication, ingenuity, skill and imagination of all the master craftsmen that worked on the films. This book was no exception. If you like to see the planning stages of costumes, armor, weaponry, props and scenery this book is for you. I love seeing everything in the planning stages of what they originally planned and then how it ended up looking. It’s also nice to see up close the weaponry and costumes as well as read the actors’ comments. My favorites are the elves, particular Thranduil. I love all the beautiful photos of his rings, broaches, staff, sword and costumes as well as the commentary from the amazing staff creating the looks as well as from actor Lee Pace. There’s input from many of the actors who played elves, dwarves and others. They also go into great detail about Biblo Baggins’ Hobbit village with lots of photos. This is a beautiful coffee table book that will be fun to look at and share with friends and others who love the Hobbit series.

Great reference book that takes one behind the scenes of the Hobbit trilogy. One thing that I have enjoyed the most about the Middle Earth movies is Weta Workshop’s attention to detail, even in little things that may never actually be seen on screen. This book has page after page of gorgeous pictures that focus on the physical armor, costuming, and weapons of the Hobbit trilogy. The author also takes time to focus on the different disciplines, ranging from dyeing to metal craft, required to create such wonderful art. This is probably my favorite book of the seven-part Hobbit art book series.

Another super Weta volume of wonderful art that lets you in on the creative process - basically how they arrived at perfection from A to Z. As this stable of inventive and gifted artists mull over what Smaug should look like - indeed, what every weapon, character and stitch of costume will finally look like, you have the honor of "sitting on their shoulder" and rummage through the myriad choices that (ultimately) Peter Jackson had to make to pull everything into one breathtaking, coordinated world. God bless these hardworking people! I own every title in the series. Take your time with these. This kind of work should be savored,studied, and admired. (In this case, the ANGELS are in the details!)

This book out of the six volumes that cover the three pars of The Hobbit movie seems to have some binding problems. The glue to attach the hardcover to the bulk of the book seems to have lost it's pliability, I had to return one from another online retailer as I thought the close fitting box had damaged the book, but now I think there be an inherent weakness in this book's run, and the rough handling only exacerbated it.

Such amazing attention to detail went into creating the "Hobbit" movies, and this book documents extensively what extraordinary effort was put into creating the gorgeous costumes, sets and props used in the movies -- down to the last button, belt buckle, and jar label. Definitely an inexhaustible resource for fans who want an up-close look at how Tolkien's world was intricately translated into Peter Jackson's films. Not only will it give you an appreciation for all the effort that went into them, but also an appreciation for the film-making process in general. The funny insights from the cast members are a plus!

This book is my favorite one so far as i love costumes and weapons!!! It focuses on how the specialist artisans bring the films to life with their skills. This book presents the fine works of sculptors, costume makers, dyers, armorers, jewellers, leather-workers, prop-makers, and etc. All the props needed, even the food props, for the movies are in it. So, it’s totally awesome! In addition, a full photo of market in Hobbiton is attached to the back cover and this market is only seen in the extended version of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Highly recommended for fans and those who interested in prop-making or even cosplay!

Each one of this series of WETA hobbit companion books has been well done - each outshining the previous in the series. The latest one is no exception. The photographs are insightful. The accompanying essays are revealing introductions to the behind the scenes movie material that Tolkien fans find so interesting. I can't recommend them highly enough. I'm waiting for the final two that will accompany The Battle of Five Armies. Peter Jackson & company have been well served as has Professor Tolkien.

We all loved the books, and enjoyed all the movies. The books are fun and really interesting. They're almost better than the extras on the DVDs. We all have really like all the behind the scenes information, and the actors talking about their parts. The history and the making of the different characters, and their weapons and costumes is fascinating. If you like the movies; you'll love the books.

Book looks great! Thank you!

Costumes and props are what I love most about the Hobbit trilogy; wish they'd created a book like this for LOTR as well. This is a beautiful coffee-table book, high-quality paper with great close-up photos of details on costumes, weapons, props, etc. Excellent resource for LORP and COSPLAY folks, or anyone who wants to live in middle earth. More please!

This is part of an amazing series of books detailing various topics about the making of the Hobbit films. In this one, deatils are given about armor, weapons, set dressing, fabrics used to make the films more real. Great care was given to these details, right down to the color and texture of fabrics. Filled with beautifiul pictures and commentary by the artisans who produced these items. Hobbit fans will love it.

My collection is up to date again after Christmas! These books are the cream of the crop when it comes to well produced, lovely art, informative novels! Love the series, can hardly stop reading. Can't say I was a big fan of the movies ("the first trilogy was better") but the astounding work that hundreds of people went through to bring it to the screen is as fascinating as ever! Great purchase!

corners on cover are bent and ripped pages inside were also bent looks more like a used copy rather than a brand new which is what i purchased....other than that i aboustly love the content in the book the artwork is great my problem is how it was shipped

I love this movie. Nice cover. Big full color photo. Just looking at the photos is fun.

A must have for hobbit/LOTR fan. Really mind blowing to see the details that go into making one small scene, and how much we miss while watching a movie. Peter Jackson should make a museum and display all these wonderful arts and artifacts and accessories that were so painstakingly created. I am sure a lot of people would love visiting and seeing that in real!

Loved this book - so right now i have one more of these Weta Books to get - the one on the Hobbits - well - that is until November when they come out with the 6th book - on Orcs and the more colorful characters that make up this insane realm! I can't wait!

Great book -- this volume details clothing (and fabrics), shoes (dwarf shoes!), armour (elvish and dwarfen), and swords. Yummy details! It was a huge hit as a Christmas present, and of course I had to get a second copy for myself too.

This is a great book. Gives me the chance to look really close up how outfits are since I can't get to the Weta shop in New Zeland to see the clothing, swords, and other accessories

A must have for fans of the films. Beautiful photos, detailed pics of costumes and the art work used to bring Professor Tolkien's world to the big screen. I have all this series books and they are terrific!

this is a great book, continue on and purchase all six of them. the creativity of some of these folks is amazing.

talks a lot about the design of clothing of the Hobbit, and provides me rich information that I have ever accessed to the details of the movie.

Just amazing...Weta Workshop/Digital is a creative force...maybe the biggest:best concentration of artists in all disciplines...the book reveals the depth , the passion and craftsmanship put in the movies, making you want to watch over and over again...

I've been wanting to complete this series and this is such a great addition! The detail the books go into about the production and design of the films is just great :)

Beautiful book. Stunning photos and nice cover. Am looking forward to getting the others in this series. Very nice for the LOTR fans.

love these books now i have them all

Wonderfully detailed & informative. Gorgeous photos & a great size!

These have detailed drawings and pics of the characters in everything from their clothes to weapons. Very good purchase for those with this trilogy addiction.

Great book with lots of great pictures and interesting facts and information.

Love this book! Filled with beautiful pictures and how they filmed the movies, its perfect for the Middle-Earth geek.

Great costume and prop details and photographs.

What an awesome book! Beautifully illustrated for any Hobbit fan. So glad I decided to purchase this book and the others that make up the collection.

My husband loves these..he's gotten all of them and is very happy with the way it's shipped securely and the price is the best anywhere.

Exquisite! The explanations and artwork took me again to middle earth. I love learning and seeing the creative process of such talented people!

Great pictures, facts, and designs from the movie.

Item arrived in near pristine condition. Love it!

I was hoping for something like the Lord of the Rings Weapons and Warfare book, where it tells the story of all the weapons and armor like you're in the story. This is more about costume and weapon designing. Don't get me wrong it's a good book with good pictures and information and probably worth the money, but I was hoping for something else.

I've been working on some replica costumes from the movies and this book was extremely helpful, especially for Tauriel's costume!

I bought this for my daughter and she just loves it. Very good quality all the way around.

I'm not writing a review. If i wanted to write reviews, I would be a writer, not one who reads.

Incredible detail and beautiful pics of all of the dwarves costumes and belongings. Best of the Chronicle books.

An excellent read, plus terrific art and photos. A must if you like Tolkien or WETA.

My son wanted this for his birthday and he got his wish. He thinks it's really cool.

Excellent, comprehensive, detailed . I am expecting the similar book for the battle of five armies.

Good condition

Another excellent edition from Weta...lots of great art and details...a must for any fan!

Love! A must for serious fans!

Great read and great photo content. I expected as much. Thanks.

Excellent close up photos of props and weapons! Fantastic book!

These dopes think I'm going to write something here. Nuts to them.

Absolutely love this book! Very pleased with it.

great

Wonderfully written. Will enjoy for years to come!!!

Excellent

Fast shipping good price

A must have for Hobbit fans.

Awesome just like the previous three volumes.

Awesome

GREAT

Great

always fascinating

Nice

Awesome

VERY DISAPPOINTED. The book spine is damaged as well as a tear on the front cover. This is a gift, and really disappointed to give it in this condition. I didn't pay for a "second" but feel that is the quality of this book.

If you enjoyed either the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit movies, this book is a serious must have. I'm a bit of a behind the scenes and design nut, so I have all of the previous volumes in this series of Hobbit companion volumes, and this is by far the best. The sheer detail and number of the photographs, the thoroughness of coverage of the props, set dressing, costumes, armor, weaponry, jewelry and the people and processes that went into them is mind-boggling. I've been waiting for this one since Christmas and the wait was worth it! A quick note for those who love the extended edition version of the movies and their special features: if you were missing some of the detail of the LOTR versions on costumes, design, and fabrication...it is here but way better.

besides the flashy (and gradually not so flashy) costumes, theres the unsung artisans on the back ground with the props and pottery.... you'd come to appreciate what it takes for the vast expertise coming together for this movie...inventory/ co-ordination is just mind-boggling. recommended for those who love the film and into details/ design of the various craft behind this epic movie...or need to complete their Hobbit Chronicles.

It's amazing and awesome best thing ever!

Le livre est sublime. Beaucoup d'écrits et d'illustrations/photographies du tournages, des designs des personnages, des décors. Les images sont splendide. On apprends beaucoup de choses sur la réalisation du film. Venant de Weta, on n'est jamais déçu. Attention, le livre existe uniquement en anglais, pas de traduction française.

Lindo livro. Também como referência é maravilhoso.

Another triumph from Daniel Falconer and Weta! A terrific addition to the previous offerings in the collection and any fan would love to have a copy.

venia sellado, y es completamente hermoso

Gorgeous book! Has lots of great behind the scenes info and photos. Perfect for any Hobbit/LOTR fan!

Merci beaucoup, bien reçu et en parfaite condition.

Fantastic Visuals

Nikel!!!

This book set is beautiful in every way buy them all!

A beautiful book, it's just packed full of wonderful photos. I'm proud to add it to my collection.

Thank you very much! I am satisfied!

Great costume detail.

Und wieder ist es Weta gelungen, mich zu überraschen. Mit Cloaks and Daggers wird eine weitere Chronik zur Einöde des Smaug auf den Weg gebracht, gewohnt detailliert und aufwendig gestaltet. Aber ist das nicht ein Buch für den Fan der bereits alles hat? Vielleicht, aber es lohnt sich trotzdem. Cloaks and Daggers, das klingt, als würden alleine Kleidung und Waffen beschrieben, aber dem ist nicht so. Gleich das erste Kapitel dreht sich um Hobbington und Bags End. Der Aufbau des Dorfes, die Ausstattung der Häuser, des Marktes, all das wird erläutert und ja, natürlich auch die Kleidung der Bewohner. Anders als in Art und Design beim ersten Film geht es aber nicht um die Schnitte, sondern um die Stoffe, die Gestaltung. So sieht man unendlich viele Bilder der einzelnen Stoffe, gerne auch in Großaufnahme. Wer selber gerne näht, der würde am liebsten seine Finger über die Muster gleiten lassen. Das geht natürlich nicht und das ist auch das einzige Manko des Buchs. Immer wieder werden Gestaltungstechniken in den einzelnen Kapiteln erklärt, die Auswahlprozesse für Stoffe und Materialien und der Leser fühlt sich nach Laketown oder Erebor versetzt. Jede Kleinigkeit wurde bedacht und so weiß man nach der Lektüre des Buchs wesentlich mehr über Küchen in der Seestadt oder Bilbos Geschirr, Thranduils Schmuck oder Thrains Kettenhemd. Schön ist auch, dass die Schauspieler zu Wort kommen. Evangeline Lilly schrieb das Vorwort, Martin Freeman und Graham McTavish sind mit kurzen Bemerkungen vertreten. Cloaks and Daggers ist eine runde Sache. Sicher sind sie kein Muss, um den Film zu verstehen. Wer jedoch noch tiefer in Peter Jacksons Mittelerde eintauchen möchte, wird hier seinen Spaß haben.

Oh Boy! Where do I start and end. First of all I love the films so read this review only if you like them. This one is a beast of a book and a gem. Beautifully packaged with tons and tons of preproduction and production work on designs and props , something which will bring delight to the Tolkien fans and fans of the movies . This book tells you how much craft went into the movie and the quality of it . Not often do you see so much details and dedication behind a movie project and the Middle Earth film series and it's companion books are a level apart.from the rest. WETA is absolutely amazing . You will find various excerpts from the conceptual designers to the production designer and the set decorator. Anybody who loves to see armor ? Who doesn't! There are plenty of them. Now the difference between Cloaks & Daggers and the art chronicles is that these are actual image of every meticulous prop created for the movie , atleast plenty that goes unnoticed in the movies. It mainly focuses on set dressing rather than designing. The details of them where as the art chronicles were on the conceptual to real aspect of it . And this one actually has images of weapons , armor , costumes , wine bottles , gold coins : You name it - It is there. So it's a must buy. Save some money and buy this. The quality of the book is admirable

The Hobbit Chronicles books by WETA are an absolute piece of art and is a must for every movie fan of Peter Jackson's LOTR and Hobbit movies. This books provides an extensive backstage overview of all the magnificient craft and design that went into creating the costumes, looks and props for the films. Each character is visited again one by one, and we get a very thorough overview of all the details of the props each character carries that you would never notice in film, but it all ads to the magic of the film. I personally never got bored of reading the author's (Daniel Falconer) interviews of all the wonderful artists who had made the films. It's a very heavily illustrated book with at least 1000 photos of high detail. They should not be missed!

What a lovely book. It compliments the other five books in the series by looking at all the props and costumes in The Hobbit films and how they were created. Fantastic photos and great descriptions.

What can you say about anything to do with Tolkien Get it its beautiful and full of facts and pictures that bring the film to life

Da ich Tolkien-Fan bin, freue ich mich immer wenn ich Bücher finde, die über großes Wissen verfügen. Da ich zu Zeiten vom Herr der Ringe noch zu jung war, um solche Werke zu schätzen, wollte ich es diesmal besser machen. Durch eine Bekannte erfuhr ich von den 'Hobbit Chronicles' und wollte diese Bände auch unbedingt haben. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht, denn es ist so viel aufgelistet, dass ich meist einen Tag brauche um mir ein Buch in allen Details durchzulesen und anzusehen. Ich persönlich habe mir die Englischen Bände ausgesucht, weil ich die Texte dort schöner empfinde. Die Artworks sind alle so wunderschön angefertigt, ebenso die Beschreibungen und die kleinen Passagen die von den Schauspielern selbst genannt wurden. Außerdem war es interessant hinter die Kulissen zugucken, solange wie die Extended Editionen mit ihren 7 - 10 Stündigen Bonus Material noch nicht zu erhalten war. (Es wäre noch schöner, wenn nicht die alberne Tauriel auf dem Cover wäre.)

Wer ein großer Fan der Hobbit-Filme ist, wird sich über dieses Buch freuen. Wieviel Gedanken man sich über Kleinigkeiten gemacht hat, die Zeichnungen, wirklich schön.

C'est en langue anglaise avec pas mal d'écrits et beaucoup d'images totalement splendides. Des Décorations, Costumes par personnage (Legolas, Tauriel, Thranduil et beaucoup plus etc.) ainsi que Armures et Armes. C'est vraiment très bien fait, du Weta quoi. Je croit que ca n'éxiste pas en langue française, je recommande donc cet ouvrage de qualité.

All is good with the book. Fast shipping and receiving. Thanks

Beautifully designed and illustrated. Will make a stunning book for collection..bought as birthday present

Bonjour, Je me permets de partager le lien de la pétition destinée aux éditions de la Martinière. Les trois premiers livres chroniques du Hobbit ont été traduits en français, le 5ème le sera également. Pourquoi les lecteurs français se verraient refuser l'accès dans leur langue de ce superbe 4ème tome de cette luxueuse série? Surtout que c'est le plus volumineux. Que ce soit par envie de posséder cette série de livres dans son intégralité en français ou seulement par solidarité, je vous invite à prendre 10 secondes de votre temps afin de faire changer d'avis les éditions de la Martinière. Il suffit de copier/coller ce lien ci-dessous dans votre barre d'adresse et de signer la pétition. En vous remerciant. [.....]

If you love all of the bonus material of all the LOTR and The Hobbit movies, the books in this series are a must have items for an avid fan. I love the books, the quality of pictures, drawings, and the way they explanes how these movies were made. I am looking forward to the next book/ two books which takes on Battle of the five armies.

for the film buff and fojjowers of the lord of the ring, this is an in depth look into the making of i've actually collected the full book collection brilliant

Comme beaucoup de fan, je suis très déçu qu'il ne soit pas traduit en français. Mais pour avoir la collection complète je l'ai tout de même commandé en anglais. Je vais devoir le traduire moi même vu mon niveau d'anglais, avec l'aide de traducteurs en ligne si je veux comprendre un maximum d'infos tout aussi intéressantes que les illustrations. Ce n'était pas la peine d'acquérir les droits sur ce livre si ce n'es pas pour le traduire

I liked item I did not like package package was to big for item

Einfach erstklassig und für diesen Preis unschlagbar gut! Da die deutschen Bücher inzwischen überteuert sind. Bekommt einen besonderen Platz bei mir. Tipp liegend lagern als bessere Aufbewahrung

The Chronicles series of books are a fantastic addition to the films, adding extra depth to the characters and scenery. Very well laid out with lots of images you won't find elsewhere.

Ravi d’avoir enfin ce tome (le seul hélas non traduit..) reçu en très bon état rapidement...livré superbe comme toute la collection d’ailleurs... un must pour les fans

I enjoy not only the superbly done contents and the cover of the book, but also the many quotes from the actors and movie producers. Tons of beautiful photos too!

Même si ce livre n'est pas en français, se plonger dans cet univers est un véritable délice! Tout comme les premiers livres! Centré sur les costumes et objets des deux premiers films, on découvre une quantité de détails que l'on ne soupçonnerait pas sur les armes, les vêtements, les objets ect... Que du bonheur pour les fans! =)

documenting the mastery and efforts of those involved in the making of the films

Good book

Prompt delivery - hugely informative and illuminating. Fantastically illustrated book which helped to re-live my memories of an excellent and evocative film. First rate. Kevin, Sheffield.

Kam zwar schnell aber mit abgefranzten Ecken. Neuzustand hatte mein Exemplar nicht mehr und nach einem Transportschaden sah es auch nicht aus. Hätte mehr Qualität erwartet...

magnifique artbook qui n'a pas étais traduit en français de belles photos et dessins

Grand mystère que la sortie de ce 4ème artbook sur la trilogie du Hobbit...C'est d'autant plus dommage qu'il est aussi bon que ses prédécesseurs. Bien illustré avec de nombreuses photographies Retrouvez mes critiques vidéos sur YT ("les critiques de lahire")

Amazing book with lots of beautifull photo's and background info. A must have for the true Hobbit-fan!

...für jeden Sammler und Mittelerde-Freak. Ich hab schon die ersten drei Teile, wird mir auch die nächsten zulegen. Gewohnt aufwendig gestaltet, schöne Bilder, interessante Beschreibungen.

Excellent book and a must have for any fan of Middle Earth.

Very nice book. Beautifull pictures, good value for money Can't wait for the next one. r r r r r

Great book! Amazing photos and designs like the other three books in the series! Definitely a must have for all Tolkien fans!

the package has too much room inside, so the package could not propect the corners of the book.

Enjoyed reading this book

Ce livre est superbe dans la continuité des Chroniques du Hobbit chez Weta seul regret pas de traduction francaise chez l 'editeur

Malheureusement, il est en anglais. Mais les photos sont très belles et c'est un livre très riche renseignements. A recommandé.

Absolutely Stunning book, a must have for any fan of Peter Jacksons middle earth films.

ＨｏｂｂｉｔのメイキングＤＶＤはみてましたが,細部が映像だとわからずこの本は本当に自分の中では宝物です。ＷＥＴＡの美術技術は職人技ですばらしい。大事な１冊です。

a avoir dans sa bibliotheque

なかなかの世界観ですね。映画を思い出します。また、違う視点で、映画が楽しめますよ。

Good

Great book for any fan of the Hobbit and the Hobbit films.

Great book with many high-res photos of props and costumes. Highly recommended!

Bon livre pour les collectionneurs qui aiment en savoir plus sur les dessous du film. Je l'ai pris en anglais pour éviter les nouvelles traductions bancales de la VF.

weta satisfait notre soif de "toujours plus" avec ces chronicles books. des must a avoir pour les fans de Tolkien et P. Jackson

Excellent quality, a must for hobbit fans

Magnifique livre dans la lignée de la série. Seul grand dommage comme beaucoup le soulignent, c'est cette langue de Shakespeare.

ce livre n'a pas été edite en Français a priori donc indispensable pour tt ceux qui font la collections des produits hobbits

Real bargain for such a good artbook!

Très bonne article et très bon service. Je suis vraiment content avec cette produit. Je le pas a mes amis.

Excellant next to the other three books in the series

Amazing book, beautiful illustrations and a wealth of information
