Mine's better
...and you're claiming that your edit is better than an edit that many "in-the-know" people consider to be the best...not the best look for you, new guy.Mine's better, but this one inspired me with the visuals, along with the Maple Edit
I don't know if I'd go so far as to call recent and past community members "in the know" over new members. That becomes a slippery slope for anyone newly joining the community. I've seen a fair amount of praise by members of self and close associates that are almost equally offsetting. There's plenty of evidence in the edits themselves that can allow someone to make up their own mind....and you're claiming that your edit is better than an edit that many "in-the-know" people consider to be the best...not the best look for you, new guy.
I see now how it was sort of rude of me to start my message that way. I actually only commented because I wanted to mention how this and the Cardenal Cut inspired a few things for mine, and that biggest impact they had was with the visuals, mostly this one on the visuals....and you're claiming that your edit is better than an edit that many "in-the-know" people consider to be the best...not the best look for you, new guy.
Yeah I wasn't quite trying to advertise mine. I just got excited. I only commented because I was tryin to praise this one's visuals. And I mean, I made mine so I'm obviously going to prefer it, everything I did was for the intention that it's pleasing to me (and so it works fine for people who'd never seen the trilogy)Yeah, better, unique etc.
Frankly, not really a good way to advertise an edit. Especially when you're a new guy that nobody heard about.
In the theatrical Desolation of Smaug there isn’t even a shot of this if I remember correctlyThe third was Bombur passing out in Mirkwood. I don't believe there is a shot of him hitting the water
That's it though for the first half, nothing else I would change.
these are just layers and don’t interact differently with shadows and the actual content like real film grain.
- Unfortunately I'm not going to go shot by shot to manually apply accurate film grain, it's too much work for too little return. I did try the method in that second video when I was first doing this though, but I ended up still preferring the look of a 35mm template.
I have it set to a lower opacity and Soft Light setting so it does help out to make it look more real.
Using the first method it would need to be added to each shot but I don't use Davinci so not applicable, in the second tutorial at the end you have to copy the layer on top of itself, so maybe you could flatten everything as a nested sequence then copy it on top but I'm not sure if each shot needs to be individually tweaked to make sure it looks good or if it's really just a one size fits all overlay, I'm getting the idea that these methods are not too feasible for a highly complex timeline. Unless someone wants to run some tests.
