The New Hobbit Hole

[2Jedismom]

I want Theoden!!

[HairOfTheDog]

What do you mean by "frame by frame"? How do I do that? And how do we get stills from it to post for those that can't get it, like Penny... just to tease them?

[2Jedismom]

My viewer has an arrow with a line in front of it at the bottom right...like this, kinda l> I click on it repeatedly and it takes you frame by frame forward.

I don't know how to save any of it.

[ecurbh]

In Quicktime, you can pause the playback, then use the right and left arrows on the keyboard to go frame-by-frame.

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - so you are just pausing it... OK... With it paused I find that I can select copy, open Paint or something, and past the image. I wish it wasn't so small...

[2Jedismom]

I believe that orc's head that Merry and Pippin fall down next to is singing! I think it's singing "I Ain't Got No Body". . .

[HairOfTheDog]

hehehehehe - I am LMAO about the Pippin sequence now that I can watch it over and over again.

Hanging on to tree for dear life
Look and check hand-hold
look away
Wait...
Did I just see the tree blinking?
Slowly turn back to tree

The "oh crap" look on Pippen's face is priceless!

[2Jedismom]

I am seriously concerned that I'm going to get so excited I'm going to have a stroke! I can feel the blood pounding in my neck!

I am so glad they included the cut on Merry's forehead (over his right eye), the one the orcs treat and he bears the scar for the rest of his days. . .

Here is the Pippin sequence I described in 1525

And here is the appearance of Gandalf the White sequence:

Here is the backup URL for that album... you know how Webshots is....

[2Jedismom]

You think you ought to ping the ring list to this?

:: sobbing pathetically::

I HATE being at work!!!!!!

Seriously, though, I am so glad this is available now. As soon as I get home, I will be freeze-framing my way through it along with all of you! :) :) :)

Hey, glad everyone's enjoing the small trailer! According to sources, the whole thing can be found here but the site is down. It may have been moved, or just be stopped right now.

[HairOfTheDog]

Are those pics showing up for you?- They aren't for me anymore unless I go to the source and return again.

I need a new site for pics. Can you freepmail me about setting up a page like you have?

[osagebowman]

Thanks for posting the pictures. It isn't often that I can view them, WebTV isn't exactly up for a lot of the photo type work.

[ecurbh]

The Two Towers preview ping!

Thanks to JenB for tracking down a downloadable version here. Apparently it is a videotaped copy, but will certainly tide us addicts over until there is an official version available.

I just cannot get over the shots of Gandalf the White driving into battle on Shadowfax. Goosebump city! This is going to be a looooong 9 months!

[JenB]

Do you know how to save the trailer to your hard drive? I have this feeling it may disappear and would like a copy; in fact I wasn't sure it was going to come back but it seems to be ok. Any advice?

[HairOfTheDog]

I will take it - thanks... The site does go up and down... tried three times in a row before it started downloading successfully - 71% and counting... looking forward to the view!

[HairOfTheDog]

Instead of clicking the link, which just runs it... Right click and "save target as..."

[JenB]

Ah, ok - thanks, I've got it saved now! Sorry it's so fuzzy and black and white, everyone, but it's the only one I've found so far. It's been a horrible wait, all three days, hasn't it? Anyway it's better than nothing, I'd say!

[HairOfTheDog]

Ooh - Wasn't fuzzy for me... and was in color (just muted quality color)... Might depend on your video card... In fact the resolution is high enough that I was able to view it quite large... It just blinks.
