I'm about 3/4 through this one and considering the source material, I think it rocks. I think the only extra thing I would've done (and may when I do my edit) is take out the comic relief elements with Gimli. I haven't quite figured out how to do it, but your edit looks like a great template to start from.

I've taken out all the comic relief from Gimli in my version, which BTW will be on its way to you this week!
Thought I would miss not seeeing frodo & Sam but did not even think about them till the end when Gandalf talks about them, all the cuts where very seamless & did not notice them.
The only thing I found was that a couple of times you noticed when the colours changed when you put your filter on.
Mine has probably completed by now. I left it running this morning with about an hour to go. I'm at work right now, but I can't imagine it hasn't finished yet.
I probably won't be able to watch it until Sunday at the soonest though. I'll let you know what I think as soon as I get a chance to watch it.

Yep! I've been flipping through it eagerly. I really like the way you end it with "Gollum's Song", which you've managed to blend in quite seamlesly. The only "criticism" I have is that the color grading seems to be too rich. Did you make DVD menus for these? I don't get any on my computer at least.
Originally posted by: Lord Phillock wow... well did any of you like the Ringwraith "Darkening"?...
I did! I just finished watching this over the weekend. I thought the darkening definitely added to the mood of the scene. I noticed that there's just a hint of Gollum's song when they're making the trip to Cirith Ungol. Was that done intentionally? I was expecting it to build and start playing, but then I realized that wouldn't make sense at that point. It seemed to end a little abruptly at the end (Gollum's song), but that might just be because I was expecting the whole song and it transitioned to the regular music. Is the rest of Gollum's flashback going to be in ROTK? I kind of miss seeing the rest of it.
I obtained your Lord of the Rings Book Cuts through a trade (thanks Calisto!). I got them as single-layer DVDs. I've read your thread on re-grading the entire Trilogy, where you mentioned that you might re-do the Book Cuts. My first question is, would you object to these single-layer DVDs being torrented again? The second question is, do you still have the DVD covers and is there any way you can re-post them on RapidShare or e-mail them to me? Thanks for your help and Merry Christmas.
