Thank you man! That’s awesome.
Also, UPDATE: recently my man eric1894 has done some amazing digital alterations, which I will be including in the next update. (Again, this doesnt change the story, these updates I’m doing are mostly just to refine what’s already been edited. If you’ve seen my edit already and liked it as-is, then that’s great)
First up, deep fake work to reduce Thorin’s injuries here: https://i.imgur.com/A9IJ5vY.png
In my edit, Thorin never duels Azog here so he shouldn’t be extremely wounded, now, he appears just a little cut up and bruised but nothing too bad.
Second, Eric was able to replace Bard’s kid with a piece of wood to get this shot back in: https://i.imgur.com/f11cYvX.png (I believe this is just his first version of it, not sure, but I think it’s awesome as is-you also have to remember these are very quick and fast shots, so you aren’t supposed to really pause and be able to analyze)
Previously in my edit, Bard shoots the arrow off-screen which “worked” but obviously it’s much cooler to see him actually release the arrow.
