This clip is great! But to add to the description, it is a common misbelief that Zodiac was shot totally digitally. It is for the most part, but the Slow Motion Sequenches during the murder scenes are still shot on film.

@evaprefa You're right, I know they did the same on Superbad too. That was shot on Panavision Genesis, and the slow-mo shots were all film based... I have changed the description... :) Thanks for pointing that out :)

i wonder how he feels about final cut pro x

[FinalCut6]

@THEANnetWork I think Angus won't like it. I think a lot of people are moving to AVID and Premiere Pro :|. I'm sticking with FCP7 lol

[crazycouplefan]

i really want to use it but i'm kind of new to the editing and directing world and am debating on if i should buy it now or buy it when i am more trained. is it easy to work with? i know i should try the trail first but i am not very good when it comes to limits so i won't feel very comfortable doing the trail

[FinalCut6]

@crazycouplefan I personally started out with rubbish Movie Maker back in the day, and then when I went to college, I was taught Final Cut Pro, as that's what they had. I've used Avid and Final Cut Pro. If you want to get into the editing more, I would say get Final Cut Express - it's cheaper and it's better than iMovie for the Mac.

I can't really decide what to suggest for you, as I don't know the extent of what you need it for really...

Final Cut Express to start, I'd say...

[evankaufmann]

Ah, the good ol' days of Final Cut Pro... I'd like to see an interview from Fincher and Wall trying to use Final Cut X........

[THEANnetWork]

@FinalCut6 i would get avid but its way too expensive for me so i'm sticking with fcp7 for the most part and sometimes premiere pro
