It wasn't until the concept of dramatic editing was stumbled across that cinema as we know it was born, and the world fell in love with the silver screen. It was actually Edwin S Porter who first grabbed audiences and dragged them into an more exciting world of tension and emotion with 'Life of an American Fireman (1902/03)'. It is in this film that the first example of cross-cutting between 2 separate lines of action can be seen.

Last month, Post teamed up with the Visual Effects Society to host a panel at the Createasphere conference in New York City. I served as moderator of the "Hot VFX NYC" session, which evolved into a discussion of the business of visual effects in the competitive New York market.

Panelists included: Dan Schrecker, VFX supervisor at Look Effects...

Film festivals are a great way for people in the filmmaking community to get out there and expand their circle. Great movies and world premieres aside, VIFF hosted a series of workshops at its Film+TV Forum, where I was fortunate to witness Academy award-winning Stephen Mirrione deliver a powerful, engaging presentation on the importance and impact of the editor in the filmmaking process. I have been a big fan of Mirrione's work for many years, so this was a special occasion for me.

Okay, so it's been a while since I've done what I originally intended to do with this blog: keep my various projects aggregated into one site. I'm slowly getting back into it, and I think I'll start back off by going in reverse order, starting with my project from the last few weeks.

The big-budget thriller is enjoying something of a renaissance lately — lots of people are excited by blockbuster action pictures like Transformers and Live Free or Die Hard, but the arrival of a newer, grittier James Bond last year in Casino Royale was a development that was greeted with critical and public acclaim alike. And while the trilogy of Jason Bourne movies that began with 2002's The Bourne Identity (and which arguably influenced the new direction of the Bond franchise) has been...
