In the summer of 1982, Disney and director Steven Lisberger introduced TRON, a landmark special effects film that took us into a dangerous, groundbreaking computer world. Computer graphics were in their infancy, and nearly every frame also featured hand-drawn and rotoscoped animated effects. The film was ahead of its time, and some audiences didn’t know what to make of it.

BOXING PAMELA Editor Martin Goes the Distance...

If ever a single feature film illustrated the painstaking effort editors go through to bring disparate parts together to create a greater whole, David O. Russell’s The Fighter would be that film. The movie, after all, details the story of real-life boxer "Irish" Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), but it also tells the story of his troubled brother, Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), their giant family (their mother, father, and seven sisters all play key roles), and a love story between Ward and his...

With the advent of the digital nonlinear editing technology, the workflow in the editorial suite dramatically changed. And it’s never stopped changing. With each new format, new camera and new digital capability, the editorial workflow undergoes an evolution. Most recently, more tasks that once went out-of-house are now being done in the edit suite. Online editing, temp sound mixes and color grading have found a home in editorial. On the positive side, these tasks stay in the hands of...

Films have been edited for over 100 years and the craft has evolved considerably. The best editing is now honored each year by both the American Cinema Editors with their ACE Eddy Awards and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences with the Oscar, but Chris Innis, ACE, Oscar winner for The Hurt Locker, noted that many of the great film editors such as Dede Allen ACE, Alfred Hitchcock’s editor George Tomasini ACE, Robert Wise, ACE, who edited the masterfully constructed Citizen Kane...

Editorial Bliss

Should you edit your own movie? This is a question I think needs to be asked more often. Some of the great directors never edit their own films and others do. Kevin Smith and Robert Rodriguez famously edit their own material, as does James Cameron, but he usually is on a team of editors with him. Steven Spielberg never edits his own films and relies on Michael Kahn as he has for 35 years with only 2 exceptions in his feature film career. Why would you want to work with an editor?
