I did a call with Lance Stubblefield (Lost, Detroit 1-8-7) recently for a class I am helping out with and thought it would be good to post here. We’ve talked with Lance on the blog before and people enjoyed reading his answers to their questions. Lance talks about how to take a cut to the next step, television editing workflow amongst other things.

One last goody from the SF SuperMeet of editors and FCP users on January 28th. Two assistants made this rap video, "I the Pro Res Maker" about their work lives. "We’re always making SD, rarely HD," they lamented. And this video is no exception. Feel their pain.

One of the immediately striking things about Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay for "The Social Network" is its assemblage, the manner in which he chose to tell the story with cascading elements of the narrative. And when you bring on a meticulous craftsman like David Fincher to direct a film already detailed in its larval stage, you can bet that the attention to each moving part and how it fits into the whole will be amplified.

Deadline Magazine gets mailed to me because the studios take out ridiculous "For Your Consideration" ads and my membership in both the Academy and A.C.E. makes me desirable — at least for eight weeks or so every year. I like reading some of the articles, especially because they do interviews with people who they consider Oscar contenders — every issue focuses on a different category.

"Steven was looking for an editor after Jaws," recalls film editor Michael Kahn, as to how his creative partnership started 34 years ago with moviemaker Steven Spielberg. "[Irvin] Kershner and Owen Roizman, the DP, recommended me to Steven. Steven had probably talked to every editor in town by then, but he talked to me. It was a short visit, but it worked out well. He called me and I was on Close Encounters [ of the Third Kind]."
