LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring 35mm Extended Hybrid

Author

I’ve taken Elendil’s awesome FELLOWSHIP 35mm scan and used a bluray rip (colored by someone on MySpleen?) to create an extended edition using the 35mm as the basis. The edit is complete, but obviously the difference between the 35mm scan and the bluray clips are quite noticeable. Some are easy to match, most aren’t - at least for me. Anyone interested in taking my Premiere project and coloring this?

Let me know!

A 35mm extended hybrid version sounds interesting but creating the grain film look for those extended scenes must be difficult

Re-creating the film grain look isn’t that difficult, it’s the color matching that I’ve found to be really tough because each scene (and sometimes each shot within a scene) requires a different color grade. The release of the Fellowship extended 35mm rendered this moot but I’ll probably try and create a ROTK extended hybrid now.

If you do a ROTK hybrid, you might want to make it a version where you add only the scenes that matter. Keep Saruman, don’t keep farting Gimli.

Keep the ghosts, but don’t keep the lame pirates.

Just my two cents.
