#supermeet aspiring editors have so much more access to footage (shooting and extraction from DVDs). Form a film making gang!

#supermeet Having a fx artist in the room meant we knew it was safe to scale a closeup 229% with no noticeable quality loss

#supermeet Environment around editing room has unknown influences on the work. He walks, not drives.

#supermeet I chose Final Cut because Avid's monopoly was unhealthy for the biz. Given a choice still will use Final Cut.

#supermeet 4 editors given sections based on how crazy they had got: to match the plot. Walter was 1st as he was the most sane.

#supermeet Walter Murch: Apocolypse Now - the first assembly would have been 7 hours long.

#supermeet Cutting film meant you had to be much more sure when you make an edit. Digital is much more flexible.

#supermeet however Murch still edits for the big screen despite majority of audience will see on smaller screens.

#supermeet FFC is funding the the film himself. Therefore only 50 prints (celluloid and digital) will be made.

#supermeet These stills distill each take.

#supermeet Quickly pick 3-4 shots from each take. Add markers and export to Filemaker. http://twitpic.com/8epa9
