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!
