May 14, 2012 - Michael Kahn (Spielberg's editor) just used Avid for 'TinTin' and 'War Horse'. But I hear you.

Mar 2, 2012 - I've done film editing and this just shows how it can drive you crazy. One of Brook's best Can you see sarcasm through a lead wall? I'm what you might call an ironic "Man on the Street" reporting on the cultural, sexual, psychological and ideological ramblings of any interesting people I'm able to lure to the camera and play with their head. Go for it. Check out my videos and witness an engaging personality & some outrageous comedic dialog. Watch me do my thing...I am Jerry Rio!

Feb 10, 2012 - Probably the most insightful scene about the studio process ever. If only poor Robert's romantic instincts were as good as his editing.

Jan 3, 2012 - This is the ONLY good scene in the movie.

May 14, 2011 - Not true. I worked in the cutting room on MUNICH and Michael Kahn still cuts on an upright moviola, and still does to this day.

May 10, 2011 - In 1997, I attended the filming of of a situation comedy entited "Goode Behavior" starring Herman Hemsley. It was shot at Paramount. After every scene someone would shout out, "Check the gates!" They were using 16mm Panavision cameras. An older cameraman was kind enough to talk to me between takes. They won't have to "check the gates" once everything is shot on video. At the end of the filmming, Mr. Hemsley said goodbye to each person in the audience. He said to me, "Take care Bro."

May 10, 2011 - Interesting that majoy motion pictures are still shot on 35mm film. Filmmakers like the softer, more subtle, look of film. Once the look of digital video matches the look of film....adios film. The economics will determine the whole thing.

chimpiki Says:

May 10, 2011 - Yes of course, but it's a damn shame. Everyone should opt (as often as they can) to see genuine film prints while it's still an option. Praise filmmakers like Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and Christopher Nolan who still and rightfully believe in the magic of watching 24 frames flicker through light. I'm not going to bash digital cinematography though, it's definitely got its own merits, but if I had all the money in the world, I'd shoot 100% on film.

catholicpriest1 Says:

May 10, 2011 - In a few years, they won't have to transfer the digital back to film anymore. The digital hard drive will be sent out to theaters, or downloaded to theaters. This is already happening in many larger multiplexes.

NeoTRP Says:

Apr 19, 2011 - Exactly, I have people in my editing class who have superior knowledge of the software--but when it comes to screening their work, it's shit. Just because you know some cool tricks with Final Cut Pro does not make you an superior 'editor'.

RocketSprocket Says:

Apr 8, 2011 - ... That's a KEM not a Steenbeck. Back then, just like today, editors would argue endlessly about the relative merits of each editing system. KEMs worked better with 35mm film and were the equivalent of the modern Avid. Steenbecks worked better with 16mm film were the equivalent of Adobe Premiere. Final Cut Suite with all of its mega firepower has no analog equivalent. ;-)

chimpiki Says:

Apr 4, 2011 - So far as I know, Spielberg is shooting on film, but I doubt he's still editing on film. If I'm not mistaken, Saving Private Ryan was the last Oscar winning film to have been edited the old fashioned way. Since then, they've transferred film footage to digital for the editing process, and then transferred that back to film for theatrical distribution. This is an especially common practice for CGI heavy films, something Spielberg is no stranger to.

Nikatsu Says:

Mar 13, 2011 - Some of the comments here are really frustrating. It's not that digital editing has made it possible for "anybody" to be an editor, no more than buying a guitar makes you Jimi Hendrix. Mastery of software has nothing to do with classical principles of film editing, which are as fundamental to our enjoyment/comprehension of a film as a grasp of grammar and style are to a good book. Some say new editors are breaking the old rules, but you can't break a rule you've never learned.
