Master the Workflow interviews Film Editor Lisa Churgin on using Adobe Premiere to edit Peter Pan & Wendy
From Master the Workflow.
A 45 minute interview, and I love to see features done in Premiere vs AVID Media Composer.
And her whole history in editing is fantastic to learn about. And cutting on a flatbed (which I haven’t done, only a moviola).
I have watched Peter Pan & Wendy as well, which was OK, but I felt it fell apart more in casting and scripting, because I got no joy from the young Peter Pan and Jude Law is no Jason Isaacs.

Larry Jordan For Video Editing Storage – How Fast is Fast Enough?
I do wish I had an SSD hard drive for speed, but I do fine with my RAID 5 Thunderbay with spinning hard drives. It is big enough and has been mostly fast enough, though 6K does push it.

The Rough Cut’s Interviews with the Mandalorian Season 1 Editing Team
First up from the Rough Cut, these awesome interviews with the Mandalorian Season 1 Editing Team.
FilmSupply has a good article on the hour of interviews and their 5 takeaways, that is also worth taking a look at, but the videos themselves are well worth watching.
Talking about not only on remote editing because of the pandemic but the new technologies and cutting together films before VFX is added with blue screen vs the volume, and being able to go to the set and talk to the director while the work on stuff, having cut the previz before production happened.

About propably the last time anything will every be edited on a Steinbeck, which I have never done, though I was probably the last class to edit on Moviolas at USC.
And it was honestly hell. Not the process and the decisions and physical cutting, but the machines, which would stick on, and destroy the negative, and had to be dived behind and unplugged. I was editing with Takashi Horie in college and I believe we even took naps behind the very loud machine.
