C Allan 😂 a lot of work man

+Butcher Wing you can still shoot on film and edit on a digital machine. heaps of movies do it. for example star wars the force awakens

The English Patient (first digitally edited film to receive an Academy Award)

And that's what it looks like-Sheeet.

are you okay?

i used scotch tape

Hardly. It's interesting, but it's cumbersome and dated.

Hell fucking no. The WORST way.

@@adamhawkes84 So if you fuck up you're stuck with it. Yeah that really sounds like a plus lol

Ah yes, because spending the majority of the time on the technical side of editing is far better than using tools that allow you to focus on the creative side

George Tudu Well.... I hate to say this but if I really am serious on filming my movie on 16 or 35mm, I have to make the titles look very filmy as well. So a physical editing machine might be a great option for reasons that I thought fits. Though I'm not gonna be he editor so instead someone have to edit the movie for me.

they were indeed ,most titles were shot on a rostrum camera

norelco pc Yea and so what if we are and what difference does that make? I still do not want to edit like that if I have the choice I prefer a computer the vast majority of the time. Ask most editors regardless of their age and I am confident to type out that they will tell you that they prefer to edit on a computer instead of the older way even veteran editors I am confident most of them prefer using a computer. The only thing I have heard about the older linear way of editing that can still be useful, according to one of my film school professors, is that it helps to give you a better eye with editing. I would not mind trying out this linear modeling way just to see if this is true and to also say I have experienced it, but come on you have to admit the older editing system is just not as practical the computer is better. The linear model is probably more expensive cause of all the stuff you to buy plus having to use film reels. Also I said it is interesting to see him do it so at least acknowledge that as well.

+Mike S You really don't have much of a choice these days.

norelco pc I believe I am showing respect I said it is interesting to watch him edit that way. I'm not saying others should not do it if they have the chance to do it if they want to edit like that than go ahead and do so.

+MYSPACE FUN It's the novelty of it that attracts the young under 30 crowd. As for us geezers who started off in film this way, well.... this throwback cutting is shear nostalgia. Most of us love the new technologies that are being used today I can't see myself going back to this. I like film but digital is a much better medium to work in. I can even make it emulate old film stocks that you would not be able to tell the difference. After processing in post, anyone who claim that they can tell the difference are lying so take their stubborn ego with a grain of salt. However a buddy of mine still has his Steenbecks and uses them to edit footage he takes with his dozen or so old 16mm Bolex and Aaton cameras. I guess he is very nostalgic.

Ofcourse you can tell the difference

Shaun Dobbie agreed

They still do. The Force Awakens and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 were both shot on film. It's just they were both edited digitally.

You get the same whether you edit like this or digitally

Why? nobody wants to have a gigantic roll of film anymore LOL.

Out of curiosity...why would you ever want to go back to this? This is just such an inefficient and creatively limiting way of editing. If you have the option to edit digitally...why wouldn’t you?

Yeah, and it's even worse that most films that were made on nitrate back then no longer exist. :(

The film stock.

Yes Frank, please do use parts of this material. A verbal or visual credit would be appreciated.

excellent :3

+Zane Wuffy I had a sound print of casablanca!

i like that :3

Film*

The picture of a girl in the film leader (sometimes called a China Girl) was a crude way of checking that the film processing had worked OK, and that the flesh tone colours looked as they should.
