The Hobbit just looked bad, IMO. They seem to have lost their heads with color grading.
I remember seeing a video where Jackson was raving about how they can relight shots, showing a pretty uniformly lit shot in Hobbiton. They went on to try to add directional light, shadows etc. using masks, and the image just got worse and worse until it was an inconsistent mess. But apparently they liked that.
And don’t get me started on how they smoothed the dwarves’ skin out so they look like glamour models. I really can not fathom what they were thinking.
- mattowen_uk 5y agoI read recently, that the Hobbit films have been re-colour graded to align them with the main Lord of the Rings films in the latest UHD 4k box set.

You'd be surprised how much the average human can enjoy fake lighting and fake elements in photography/videography. For anyone with the slightest lighting knowledge though it looks horrendous.
