I’m interested in this - though I am curious why film 3/season 2 was the odd one out with being adapted that way? Was that season in particular especially bloated and not adapted as well as the others?

I wouldn’t say that. In fact, I would argue that Season 2 was the best adapted of the three. It’s just that it’s a more condensed and cohesive story compared to Season 1 or Season 3, and the main action takes place in a single location, which basically made it easier to edit into one film, as opposed to the rest of the seasons where the story follows the characters across multiple locations.

I’d be very interested to check this out - I couldn’t really get into the series before but maybe a trimmed up version could be much better.

I would love the link if you still have it.
Did you end up doing a version in 4k or 1080p or just one of the two?

I’d love a link. I never finished the season, or series despite buying all 3 seasons on Blu Ray and trying to get through it multiple times. This edit seems like a much better length.

I’m half way through your edits right now, and I have to say that they are amazing. This franchise has always been so important to me growing up - and the show as it sits originally is hard to sell on people due to all the issues you managed to edit out!

My smallest “just being picky” note would be that I wish you leaned a bit more into the idea of them being movies in regards to the credits sequences and title cards. Giving the films a movie style title sequence and repurposing the tv series’ credit scene as the stylized credits many movies have at the end before the text crawl. I think that would have given them the perfect touch. BUT as i said, that is just me being picky

You’ve treated this series with the love and care it deserves and I cannot wait to finish watching

Thank you so so much!
It is always very heartfelt to receive praise from fans of the original material, who grew up with Pullman 's books as I did.

As for your “nitpick”, at one point I considered repurposing the opening credits as the end credits. In fact, I did the exact same thing for my Foundation fan edits and it worked quite well. However, there are some directors, such as Tim Burton, who often use similar opening credits in their films.
If I ever revisit this project in the future, I will seriously consider making that change.

Thanks again for your kind
words!

Hi, can I get a new link please. Loved the first 2 films, not seen what you’ve managed with the rest of the series yet though. Thanks
