In terms of completely abandoning the grey, [In reply to] Can't Post

I've never had a problem with it. Story-telling-wise, I think it's easier and avoids the repetition of Gandalf "revealing" himself, though if done right it could've been awesome (think the use of lightspeed in Empire Strikes Back). It also works better visually in terms of Gandalf's objective - he's literally a walking light to guide people without hope. To shroud that would be, I don't know - greedy? Careless? Or just lazy? Tongue

On the topic of light, it's always fun seeing both this scene and Gandalf's first reveal in a dark room. Maybe that's why there's some slight issues with my eyesight, despite being 20/20. Cool

"You do not let your eyes see nor your ears hear, and that which is outside your daily life is not of account to you. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain."
