Adobe Interview with Andy Young editor on Harley Quinn Season 3
Meagan Keane has a great interview with Andy Young the editor on Warner Bros. Animation HARLEY QUINN. Interesting to hear about editing an animation show, and the differences with live action editing.
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.
Cut/Daily has a letter from Walter Murch
Jonny Elwyn’s has a letter from Walter Murch free with registration.
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.
Meagan Keane at Adobe Blog interviews Molly Yahr on editing the animated Inside Job
This is an interesting interview, as you don’t often see information on editing Animation. Well worth a quick read.
Jose Antunes at PVC on Lightworks 2022
An article on the long running Editing software Lightworks which has been updated to 2022.
I have never tried Lightworks, though at some point I should give it a try. It at least has a timeline like AVID and Premiere unlike Final Cut Pro X.
PostPerspective interview with Don’t Look Up Director Adam McKay and Editor Hank Corwin
Always love interviews with an editor, though I would love a little more in depth, or longer honestly, but then I was a huge fan of Cinefex.
ProVideoCoalition has released a 2021 Video Workstation Buyers Guide
Damien Allen at PVC has released a 2021 Video Workstation Buyer’s Guide with both Mac and PC options.
As with all PVC Articles well worth a read if you are looking for a new machine this year.
The Mac world is really in so much flux with only consumer oriented Apple Silicon M1 chips released so far. Personally I am so looking forward to what pro Apple Silicon will do, but will certainly have to wait for that.
