Make Some 'Noise'

Sorry for the lack of updates on the site. I like to think of it as a positive sign, a sign that I've been busy editing. A large chunk of the first half of this year has been spent as assistant editor on Matt Saville's debut feature 'Noise'. I was working with editor Geoff Hitchins picture editing a film about sound. We worked out of the Joinery editing on Lightworks, which I still think are the most organic way to cut drama. Interestingly enough, I was also charged with putting together the video playback material (newscasts and the like) which was done in FCP on my laptop. That kind of work is very painful on 6 year old Lightworks technology. Just goes to show, there's no perfect edit system, just the right one for the job. The playback material gave me a new appreciation of how fast you can create broadcast quality cliche effects with motion. Noise should be hitting Australian cinema's next year sometime.
