  • Editors VS Feedback
    Nov 9 2024

    Episode 28! Ricky, Piotr and Erwann have been giving each other feedback on their projects, so they talk about how to spare everyone’s feelings while giving constructive criticism. They wonder who to ask for feedback, what to really keep from the notes given, test screenings, and the insanity of rating movies with the thumbs up/thumbs down method that streaming services enjoy. Also, is "It’s boring!" good or bad feedback ? Piotr says it's good...


    Let us know if he’s wrong!

  • Kuleshov Effect
    Nov 2 2024

    A listener asked to hear more about editing techniques so Ricky and Piotr talk about the Kuleshov Effect or Editor’s Effect. Named after early 20th century Russian film maker and film theorist, Lev Kuleshov, the “Effect” or “Kuleshov Experiment” as it was also known as, was actually a demonstration proving the effectiveness of existing editing techniques. Ricky and Piotr talk a little about who Kuleshov was, what the "Effect" is and how filmmakers like Hitchcock, Spielberg and others adapted it in their own film making. Then give examples of the Khuleshov Effect or Editor’s Effect in recent films and TV.

  • Are You Excited about Generative Extend?
    Oct 19 2024

    The theme of this week's episode is "With great power comes great responsibility" as Piotr and Ricky talking about a few of the new AI offerings from Adobe (Generative Extend and Firefly) and Flawless AI's DeepEditor. Without getting deep into describing Adobe's applications, simply put they're useful tools for filmmakers/ artists in a pinch. i,e,. giving that shot a little more tails, fixing someones eye trace, creating missing shots, etc. Where as DeepEditor is some black magic deepfake that works wonders but could be devastating in the wrong hands. Ricky points out that Adobe and Flawless have language about being ethical so much so that DeepEditor can't be utilized without consent from actors. Ricky and Piotr also talk about Piotr attending a couple editing workshops at the Warsaw Film Festival. Plus, American Cinema Editor's EditFest Global and the next season of the podcast. Apologies for Ricky's terrible audio, he had the wrong mic selected. Also, quick correction - Ricky references the movie, "Tower" in regards to DeepEditor, but what he really meant was "Fall." Apololgies. Where were you on that one, AI?


    Do you think AI will always be the useful tool or is it a harbinger of doom?
