Michael Kahn has just been nominated most deservingly by the American Cinema Editors Guild for his work on both 'Tintin' and 'War Horse'. How amazing it is the work he discusses here recognized. Total respect.
Great and inspiring interview.....I'm going to start working 7 o clock in the morning...I'm not jocking.
Many advice and honest quotes..I want to be fair with the interviewer, good work, you made a fluid and honest conversation....Not very often one can see an interview like this...Thanks very much
STUDIED FILM IN DALLAS AND EDITING WAS NOT MY GREATEST THRILL. THIS WAS 1985....GUESS IT'S SOMETHING YOU GOTTA WORK IT'S CRAFT TO BE MAGIC. STUDIED PRODUCTION IN SAN MATEO CALIFORNIA IN 1980 AND I KNEW THIS WAS THE ART I DESIRED TO MASTER. SOME ARE SO LUCKY AND BLESSED. IT'S LIKE MAKING CLOSE ENCOUNTERS TO MAKING ART HISTORY. WHAT A LIFE OF CRAFT AND TALENT. STORY MAKING OF PICTURES. THIS GUY HAS SEEN SOME GREAT WORKS OF FILM INDUSTRY. I REALLY LOVE THE OLDER GENERATIONS. TIMES SUCK NOW.
jasedotcom, the answer is - not anytime soon. In the recent DGA tribute to Spielberg (see it here - dga.org/Events/2011/08-august-2011/75th-Spielberg-Event.aspx ), James Cameron asked him the same question and got a hilarious response. I think he truly believes films adds something that digital can't and plans to go back to using a Moviola for Lincoln (War Horse and Tintin were done together and edited on Avid). It's worth noting that Janusz Kaminski is not a fan of digital, either.
@jasedotcom He won't. CineAlta is 1080p, which is the resolution of high-definition TV. Super 16mm has upwards of 2K. Red might be approaching 35mm in terms of definition but not in terms of native exposure latitude (Red Epic claims >12 stops but it uses HDR to achieve that).
"I never get bored.. Don't forget you have in your hands the power to influence people sitting in seats that they payed for.. We're putting something out there that millions of people are reacting to.. That makes me feel pretty damn good!" @18 minutes
how much would you say his salary is?

DP/30 has the best interviews I have ever seen. The talks with these filmmakers are so incredibly lucid, I get goosebumps every time I watch one.

How long will it take before Spielberg shoots a film on a Red or a CineAltra?
