JRR Tolkien - All VIDEO interview compilation - CleanCut
Tolkien VIDEO interviews are rare and scattered everywhere in different length and quality, and it’s hard to keep track of them.
This CleanCut edition attempts to improve that -- Result is a short film of just Tolkien and his own words.
These footage are from 1962 & 1968 BBC, which are the only two VIDEO interviews of him that ever existed.
- 27 minutes
- collected all known released video of Tolkien from public domain [to date 2022-09]
- best video quality footage are used
- removed some irrelevant audio by other people
- between every segment is 2s blank
- subtitles: select English (not Auto Caption); now updated per the transcript. Accuracy 95%
This video is the result of 100 hours of labor.

MAKING of these compilations: Long-expected projects, unexpected timing
This idea first existed 20 years ago in my mind: of putting together these random footage,
so that I could finally watch them in one sitting without interruption.
20 years later, more materials had been published, but files are still scattered.
One day I just started the process, unexpectedly.
It wasn’t an easy project; maybe that’s why no one else had done it.
As a reader, I was already a collector of these things: docu CD’s and stuff, so I had a starting point.
The real challenge was that these materials had been mixed and remixed in so many random ways over the decades. And there were so few reference data.
Some footage were not easy to be found at first; took me a while to be convinced that there were no more.
The editing process took two weeks of long nights reviewing the video and audio segments altogether.
In the end, 100 hours had gone into the process and many more hours afterwards to improve the subtitles.
Now that it has been completed, it’s nice to know that people actually appreciate the result.
Now, if BBC could release the remaining materials...

Comments regarding any *adaptations*: please tread lightly (or better yet - not at all). So please stay on topic: this video and its content.
