Again with no reference, this time I reused the same adjustment layers across all these Silver Screen Edition screenshots, Im aware it is probably too blue but I’d like to note the green uniforms, warm skin tones, the table is a satisfying black and the lights give a good glow on the uniforms.






I’m sorry. The colors themselves look fine but it’s almost comically saturated and contrasty.

Those look really good, NeverarGreat! Mike Verta is adamant that the Death Star walls are never green, but always bias towards blue.

I tend to believe him here, not just because of his expertise, but because every time I correct for the proper colors of skin and costumes, the walls end up looking dark, slightly desaturated blue. I rarely, if ever, run into a situation where they end up looking green.

JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit: turning a mediocre trilogy into one really good film (Released)
Time

Finally got a chance to watch this all the way through. Wow is all I have to say. Very seamless. Only once did I feel like I was watching a fan edit. That’s when Azog just suddenly appears after they escape the goblin tunnels. I get that he was sort of alluded to by the goblin king, but it just felt weird becuase you get get the sense that he’s a really important character from what the goblin king said, but we never get any reference to him before that. It like we get that he’s SUPPOSED to be an important character, but he doesn’t feel like one. I think it would have been better to just nix him entirely until the battle of five armies, at which point he would just be the leader of the Orc army. Watching the scene with this in mind, I feel there is definitely a way to cut that scene in a way where it appears to only be the wargs attacking them ala the books with no orcs at all.

That being said, that’s a very small complaint in an otherwise amazing edit and I understand you’re not looking to release a v2 or anything with such a small change, so if I find it really bugs me that much, I can always do an edit myself.

But seriously, high praise to you. This will be my go-to version of the Hobbit for the foreseeable future.
