Middle Earth: Shadow of War (The Movie)

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

Many thanks for your awesome work, excellent as always! Much appreciated, Andy!

[@ElijBrower]

Can we all agree that the song at the credits is just perfect. Thanks for all the work you put in. (Sorry I’m 6 months behind)

[@mrhappeh6067]

Man that is such a sick thumbnail I am so glad your finally doing this movie hopefully it will make big views for you

[@AndyGilleand]

I hope so. I know the original Shadow of Mordor movie used to do really well until it got hit with a "limited ads" flag for whatever reason a few years ago, causing views to drop significantly since then.

[@mrhappeh6067]

@@AndyGilleand limited ads whats that mean

[@AndyGilleand]

@@mrhappeh6067 it means youtube thinks there's something that breaks some kind of community guidelines, so they won't show as many ads. But they didn't tell me what they thought it broke, and it also apparently affects the regular algorithm as well so people don't see it as much in recommendations or in search, so the views dropped a lot.

thank you so much for putting greek subtitles as an option for me and for many more they mean so much well done keep it up if you can also put it in other videos in the past or in the future I would really appreciate it

[@akshaytrayner1960]

Awesome edit

[@darobster5520]

Just finished watching and you have done it AGAIN!!! That ending, though... I did NOT expect that! Also, those photo's during the second half of the credits, were those already in the game, or did you edit them in? Or both?

[@AndyGilleand]

The montage originally played as a separate sequence in between the start and end of the credits. I edited it so it would play side by side with the credits. The director of Shadow of Mordor died during the production of this game, so they came up with this montage with a specially designed orc that looks like him to honor him.

[@Daddynegan]

Hello! Can I ask how you add subtitles in every language for each of your videos? A few years ago, KZbin stopped allowing viewers to add subtitles. Most of your videos have 30+ subtitles, how do you do it?

[@AndyGilleand]

I transcribe the subtitles in english, and then I use google translate for the rest, along with translations for the title and description of the video, so it shows up when people are searching in other languages too. I've found that people are more likely to make use of subtitle tracks in their own language, rather than telling youtube to auto translate the subtitles for them. Even though the translations would likely be the same or similar.

I don’t care what anyone says, to me the middle earth saga is canon to me.

[@fang_uk]

Canon to what exactly? 🤔 Isn’t the Middle Earth saga already what it’s called anyway? Please clarify as I’m a little confused by your post! 🤪

[@austinjones2048]

@@fang_uk canon to the movies

[@fang_uk]

@@austinjones2048 Ahh - sorry. Now I understand exactly what you meant. You’re talking with regards personal preference, right? Same here. “Lord of the Rings” and “Dune” were the first books I remember reading as a young teenager that I’d consider my first forays into proper adult reading. But Purists aside, I love the movies. What Peter Jackson did with them and getting the studio to invest in not 1, not 2, but 3 movies back then was [back then] a really big risk. The fact he had an uncompromising vision in wanting to stay as faithful to the books as possible (although it’s impossible to directly translate any book to the big screen, so rewriting things as screenplays will always distill and merge things otherwise it just comes off as dry - if people want that, go see a Play). My friend’s Husband scored the music for the Amazon TV show. Sadly that’s the best thing about it! I found the show itself awful, and a real slog to drudge thru tbh. Considering it’s the most expensive TV series ever made (go check out the budget per episode, it’ll make your butt clench!) it’s nowhere near as entertaining as “The Wheel of Time” - which somewhat ironically is Produced and streaming on the same Network! Madness. (If you haven’t seen “Wheel of Time” yet, I do recommend it to you - especially if you found “Rings of Power” as dull like I did. I have to ask though: what did you think of The Hobbit trilogy of films? I’m intrigued to read your thoughts - I wanted to like them, but it all felt so different somehow and I just couldn’t connect with it in the way I had with the previous trilogy.

[@meander112]

Thanks for making this. The live service aspects of this game kept me away from it, despite enjoying SoM. Now I don't need to play this.

[@AndyGilleand]

Note that those things were patched out, although I played it at launch and never felt like I needed to buy a loot box or XP boost. That being said, the final act (which I basically skip over in the movie as there's no story in the gameplay) was still really grindy, even with the patch reducing the number of missions.

Love your movies and hope you never stop making them (I know you enjoy Assassin's Creed and they seem to not be stopping any time soon with those, so at least a few more!) Would love to see you try out Red Dead Redemption. Only issue is that it is not on anything but PS3, Xbox 360, and now Switch (can't believe they ported it to Switch and not PC!). I don't know if that is a problem (or if you are just not fond of the material/game/setting), but the Undead Nightmare expac even technically fits in the game proper (sort of) and I personally think the story is worthy of your talents. RDR2, is not as great a story in my opinion, but it is on PC and more modern consoles. Either way, both are VERY cinematic games and if you were to attempt either, I am sure there are fans out there that would love to see your editing mastery at work on either one :) (I know I would!) Keep up the great work!

[@AndyGilleand]

I do plan to do the Red Dead series now. Both games are actually available on modern consoles now, they just released RDR1 last month or so. I plan to do RDR2 first, to do it in chronological order, and then I will do 1. I wanted to wait until both games were available to play in 4K before I committed to this idea.
