Final Hobbit edit by Killstein completed

Haven't checked it out much though.

Well having watched a slightly earlier version the editing is immaculate- I have some choices issues, it wasn't restoring the books narrative arc for Bilbo well enough for me, especially not in relationship to the dwarves, but the standard of work here is exceptional and faultless (at least I failed to detect a fault-so much so my ideal purist edits of LotR's and TH would be to hire Killstein to edit according to my own purist edits story choices- I wonder if they are available!).

I think editing is his job so no wonder they are technically solid. Yeah, I wish you had the full resources of a team of editors to do your bidding with access to all the film ever shot. And the computer effects crew. Sigh.

I'm not going to be watching it quite yet as my lowly internet connection cannot afford it. But I like the sound of this edit. Nothing too extremely crabbit in his approach.

Ah, but there in lacks its one fault. The lack of crabbit at the distorting of the character arc of Bilbo and of the dwarves has not resulted in the required level of crabbit to fix such a calamity in its entirety (in my, admittedly, crabbit view).

Yes, his crabbit setting in adobe premiere is too low. Should be upped to tyrant.

Looks like it's been getting too much attention. His tumbler's down and a lot of the torrents are disappeared. I hate when fan made stuff gets stomped on.

He posted this though
"to be honest I voluntarily removed it, it was really just something for some friends and family to watch and the more folks watch it the more articles post about it and people send emails and criticize and threaten legal stuff so I decided to end it. I might work on another version in the fall under some other name but this might just be it for me"

Ah the price of fame! Sadly fan edits are best for just sharing among friends, or a very small forum!
