Take Final Cut Pro workflow

and get

Best Picture and Directing Academy Awards,

Joel & Ethan Coen

for

"No Country for Old Men".
 
Yeah, right. It's because of FCP that they won. :wink:
 
Imagine if they had used Premiere Pro CS3, they would have won Best Editing as well!!!! :-)
 
The Movie was shot in 35MM and the dailies were sent to the brothers to put together the ruff cut edit onsite..

I don't think they used "Color" to do the final color grading or FCP studio2 for the final edit!!
 
regardless of the NLE that ending was pure sh*t. Actually the entire 3rd act left a lot to be desired. The opening was wonderful - but downhill from there. On the other hand Diving Bell was flat out the best in quite some time.
 
Oscar for

Best film editing

"There Will Be Blood"

It's was cut on Moviola (or similar).

No DI involved at all.

Some of the big names in film editing, who are technology savvy, don't commit themselves to a single NLE. Famous editor Walter Murch used Avid on the English Patient and got an academy award for best editing (I believe). Then a few years back, he defied all industry warnings, and used Final Cut Pro on the $80 million film The Cold Mountain. This effort is documented in the book "Behind the Seen", which I think is a must read for any serious film editor.

You don't need a DI to edit a film on a computer-based NLE. Unless of course you make no distinction between a DI and a Telecine.

No Sanjin. Get the facts right.
It was not "There will be blood".

The award for best film editing went to Christopher Rouse for "The Bourne Ultimatum". And it was cut using an Avid.

I was just messing with you, but you just won't give up.
 
Sorry, you're right.

I mixed up categories of cinematography and film editing.

Avid is a corporate editing tool and FCP is more for home users as the most people here at the forum.

The corporate here means (more MONEY, more CONTROL).

I don't need it.

And I don't give up at all.

Still fresh and young :).
 
you will be surprised to know that majority of the movies that are shown in theaters today were edited by cutting and pasting, without using a computer.

what happened to: "I called Film on the phone and said I met some one"?
I think they all wandered around for a while and then came back home and made up with film.

I am not sure if that is correct. My understanding was that most Hollywood movies these days are edited digitally, even if most are shot on film. I think among the big shots, Steven Spielberg is insisting on keeping a Moviolla-based system. The rest have caught on to digital revolution.
 
Would you rather be known as winning "Best Picture and Directing", which everyone knows, and cares about, or just, "best editing"?

The average person cares more about Best Picture. Am I right?
 
As long as you know how to edit, you should be able to make anything look good even in Windows Movie maker..no?

Is it just me or is the editing contributed to the editor and NOT the tools done to edit? Do you think the same edit could have been done on FCP?

Not the same edit. Mostly because I think the editor of The Bourne Ultimatum is more proficient with Avid. But it's pretty clear that you can edit features with FCP since the film that received the Academy award for best film was edited with just that software.

BTW. My first post was just me messing with fanboy Sanjin.
It's just funny how he thinks Avid is corporate/money and Apple is the "underdog" when Apple sells more copies of editing software than Avid ever will.
