The Conversations - Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film

May 14, 2004

The Conversations : Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film / “Walter Murch is a true oddity in Hollywood. A genuine intellectual and renaissance man who appears wise and private at the centre of various temporary storms to do with film making and his whole generation of filmmakers. He knows, probably, where a lot of the bodies are buried.” Put this one in the must-read stack for info architecture & interaction design. Perfect quote; he’s a genius. I found his visual notation system for planning film edits utterly fascinating. (I thought I mentioned this awhile ago…. Sorry if I repeat myself.)
