\"DOS-colour-changes\"<\/a> Courtesy of the efforts of Ringer mukankakuna on the TORn forums<\/a>, here’s a video that reveals the differences between the trailer and the theatrical release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.<\/p>\n

As others have noted, perhaps the most significant change is to the colour-grading. The colours in the theatrical release are much more muted, and as one commenter put it, bleak. In particular, gone are the super-saturated blues that many objected to when the trailer was released. As someone who has railed against the teal and orange trend<\/a>, I think the more natural colour palette is definitely better.<\/p>\n

In some shots, you’ll also see the background has altered. In one, Azog is replaced with an entirely different orc. Interesting stuff.<\/p>\n

Have a look for yourself and see what you think.<\/p>\n
