Walter Murch in the NPR archives
By S Simmons. Filed in Editing |
It’s an interview done in late 2005 for the release of Jarhead, but any unread interview with Walter Murch is worth a read. And if you’ve read it before, then read it again. I especially like Murch’s definition of what he does as an editor: “”My job as an editor is to gently prod the attention of the audience to look at various parts of the frame, and I do that by manipulating, by how and where I cut and what succession of images I work with.” Simple and succinct.
