I just wanted to drop back into this thread to let you know that I used this edit over the past few months to introduce Tolkien to my 6 year old daughter. We would listen to a chapter of Bluefax’s amazing audiobook and then watch the corresponding part of the movie. It all went over very well, and we wrapped up just this past weekend. The slightly reduced action quotient and fewer departures from the text made this ideal for us. Thank you!

Pmed all, cheers guys.

All this middle earth hype with the new Amazon show & people asking for links is makin me wanna go back to editing The Hobbit…Maybe later this year I’ll take another look at the project, see if any new ideas come to mind after sitting on a finished release for almost a year.

Its good hear something possitive come form the series (no offence meant to any that enjoyed the show). I just like to say that this edit has become my families go to version of The Hobbit after I introduced it to them and we will be including it in our next marathon later this year. That being said I would love to see what else you come up with and encourage you to persue any idea you have. If they, work great! If not, its not like it will being ruining anything or hurting anyone. You have already polished a turd (more of a diamond in the rough but hey the first saying fit the sentance better), so there is no doubt in you skills!!

Thank you so much for all the hard work you and the other contributers put in and good luck on you’re next endevor!

Pmed all.

Also, as of this past month:

  • Edit has been updated (Digital & new ISOs both up)
  • A few minor tweaks in the 2nd half, essentially reducing unnecessary final battle action/smoothing out Bilbo’s retreat & Ravenhill, and now putting back in some character moments. Runtime is unchanged. Full changelist is in the drive.
  • ISO has 2 new special features, one with Dol Guldur and a new Thorin deleted scene.

Do you foresee yourself ever remastering this edit in 4k?

Hi. About this question, I can share with you my experience: for this edit and for my private vision, i created the italian dub (@sidshady12 write me if you are interested to add to your edit). It’s long process (it depends how much time do you dedicate, probably in a month you can do it, i worked mostly at the weekends), but it isn’t so hard. What you need are: the audio tracks of the extended version of the movies and the list of changes and cut made by sidshady12 (you can find them here or on his website). What i did is extract the audio track of M4 Book edit and all extended movies and i opened them in Adobe Audition (i think it’s a great program to do this kind of things because you can work on audio adding effects or separate dialogue and backing music). Then i opened the movie on a video player and the original movie on another video player. Then i watched the two movies at the same time, so i can noticed when he made cuts. I suggest to you to maintain the M4 Book Edit’s track as basic track and replace only dialogues parts. Then is easy compiling a new movie edit file adding the track in your language (i used MKVToolnix) and forced subtitle track. The only parts not translated is the final Gandalf’s speech at Thorin’s funeral, that part i left it in english with subtitle. Ask me anything you want.

Hi. Do you still have the italian dub? I would be interested in checking it out (for private vision only of course), even if it’s not the updated version. Would you PM me in case you’re willing to share it?
