I watched these videos (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) of Walter Murch speaking at the Final Cut Pro Users Group (FCPUG) Supermeet at NAB in Las Vegas in April 2007 a while ago–but forgot to post about them. This is a truly excellent talk by an erudite guy with wide-ranging interests who knows how to teach–and who happens to be one of the best film and sound editors ever, with three Oscars. What I love about this talk is that Murch explains how post-production of major films (like Francis Ford Coppola’s medium budget (or large budget indie?) Youth Without Youth) actually works these days–the global collaborative nature of it, the banding together of freelance experts on a per-project basis, the nuts and bolts.
And where you can get the same talks as downloadable podcasts (so you can watch on your iPod or Apple TV, etc.).
