Editing "The Social Network" in Final Cut Pro with Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter

Wall and Baxter used Final Cut Pro to edit “The Social Network,” and one of the things they really like about the software is the ability to do multiple timelines.

“One of the best features of Final Cut Pro is the ability to tear off timelines,” Wall explains. “It’s very easy to customize your workflow and do multiple timelines of edited pieces.

For example the opening scene of ‘The Social Network’ is an eight-page scene, and David shot about 60 takes of the six-minute scene.

We ended up breaking the takes into smaller pieces of five or six sections, and once we are at that level, we start to work through and decide what sections from the multiple master takes work the best.

Final Cut Pro allows us to track all that quite efficiently. David Fincher does tend to do more takes than other directors, so it helps to have a method to break it down.”

At the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter received the Oscar for film editing for their work on “The Social Network.”
Wall and Baxter recently spoke to Vanity Fair’s John Lopez about the digital revolution in filmmaking and how they use Final Cut Pro to craft a perfect scene from dozens of takes.
Says Wall: “When I switched to Final Cut, it made me rethink how I work….I love it because it’s so flexible. It doesn’t force you into a way of thinking about editing.”

2011/3/2 iPad2 發表會：
賈伯斯：“蘋果認為，只靠技術遠遠不夠。需要把技術與藝術和人文結合起來。
我們的競爭對手認為，平板電腦是下一個PC市場。這不是正確的方向。
平板電腦是後PC時代的設備，要比PC更容易使用，更依賴用戶的直覺。”

小弟覺得Apple的確作到將一個冷冰冰的科技產品，賦予生命的靈魂！

在這場發表會裡，賈伯斯以上這二段話是練功之無上心法！
獨孤求敗，武功雖然高強，無人能敵，冷酷無情，卻是孤寂的，無法號令天下。
張無忌，武功中庸，八面玲瓏，柔情萬千，卻能得道多助，攝召武林，號令天下。
賈伯斯： “與PC相比，平板電腦更要求軟硬件的結合。我認為，我們正走在正確的道路上。”
