Someone had to say it...

Back To The Future Part 1 & 2 Synced..

I remember cutting the milk bar, cafe 80's and saloon scenes together at collage as an editing project. It really showed off the brilliant repetition of these films. This is going one step beyond, I must admit I have thought about doing this. Brilliant.

Stanley Kubrick's Boxes...

If you're a Stanley Kubrick fan and at a loose end on Friday check out journalist Jon Ronson's Stanley Kubrick's Boxes at the Gate Picture House in Notting Hill at 8.30. With a Q&A and a screening of Kubrick's Vietnam war epic Full Metal Jacket. £12.oo online and it hasn't sold out yet...

I had the privilege of working as an editor on Kubrick's Boxes and Ronson's access behind the gates of the Kubrick estate is a great insight into the man and myth. For a more on the doco, check out this Doghouse post from the depths, July 2008. (With a great pic by Marcus Yau.)

Why 3D doesn't work and never will. Case closed...

...by Walter Murch, the most respected film editor and sound designer in modern cinema.
So he knows what he's talking about.

If the 3D boom lies uneasy with you; have a read of this brilliant letter from Walter Murch to Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times. He's not impressed either.

Woof.

RIP Sally Menke...

Sally Menke, Quentin Tarantino's editor found dead. Sad news, I got the news late as I was in an edit all day. Needless to say she was quite a hero of mine. AICN already posted this, but it's good.
