you are a legend!

[@rty1955]

As an emmy award editor, i would NEVER make any edits w/o the director present, after all its thier movie/show. Its not very smart to edit by yourself. I provided the technical talent, and dont make ANY artistic judgment.
I edited on 2" videotape, way before NLE systems.

Christopher Nolan films are just like ship adventure it can be peaceful flow Titanic and same ending danger zone

[@MichaelTPaulo]

I don’t like his editing style. Just saying

[@billylardner]

go away

[@michaelanjootiyil5061]

Why ??

[@MichaelTPaulo]

@@michaelanjootiyil5061 it’s too quick in my taste. Tbh the Dark Knight’s editing was not good. I couldn’t see shit and even his talking scenes are too quick

[@GregMuniz7]

@@MichaelTPaulo what about interstellar? It’s perfect.

[@MichaelTPaulo]

@@GregMuniz7 his work in that film is his best actually tho

[@zorrolives100]

i and others found it convoluted...mixed up...many lost focus and interest...trying to be so clever

[@billylardner]

don't blame the editor, jesus christ

[@BINDIJUICE]

You make 'trying to be clever' sound like a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with a cleverly made and executed film
