Four production art prints and a Peter Jackson-signed Certificate Of Authenticity greet you as you open the boxed set that can be likened to a file chest. A clipboard inside holds a full color production memoir containing production stills, art, and daily notes. Fold open the clipboard and you will find the Disc One and Disc Two for behind-the-scenes of Peter Jackson's King Kong. You can view the production diaries by date or by location, and with an optional six-minute introduction by Peter Jackson. A 16-minute bonus video diary is inlcuded on Disc Two.

Story Synopsis:
If you ever thought that making a film was a cakewalk, spend September 2004 through April 2005 on the set of Peter Jackson's King Kong. Peter Jackson’s video Production Diaries is a two-disc exploration into the truth behind making a film. The exhaustion, fun, and stress for filmmakers and actors are all exposed. (Suzanne Hodges)

DVD Picture:
Typical for documentaries, this anamorphically enhanced DVD is presented with varying image quality. But for the subject matter, the picture is adequate. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 2.0-channel soundtrack is generally of poor recording quality, because of the limitations of the equipment used when recording the footage. There really is nothing exciting about the soundtrack, but what can be expected from something that was originally made for an Internet feed? (Danny Richelieu)
