Bilbo Baggins
During July 2011, scenes from "The Hobbit" were filmed at Pinewood Studios, England. Sets were constructed on the F and N&amp;P Stages for the shoot. Jackson recorded a video blog from the set, which featured Christopher Lee in full makeup and costume as Saruman. All the scenes with Christopher Lee as Saruman were shot in that studio, as he was unable to travel to New Zealand. The Saruman scenes actually in New Zealand were shot with a body double. The scenes with Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins were similarly shot in Pinewood Studios; Martin Freeman doubles as old Bilbo Baggins in one scene.
