Dan Lebental, Editor of IRON MAN Interview. Part II

Today we present Part II of my interview with Dan Lebental, film editor of Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment’s, IRON MAN.

In this segment Dan talks about his experience cutting on the Avid Media Composer, working with the visual effects team (upwards of 800 people) at ILM and the economics and intricacies of cutting a film with nearly 1000 visual effects shots. We go on to discuss the state of, and need for, industry accepted digital post production workflows. Finally, we talk about cutting IRON MAN utilizing the Avid DNX36 codec, and his first experience cutting a studio feature in HD. Enjoy.

    There’s some HTML showing above the two interview videos. Must be an error somewhere in the code. They play fine for me in Firefox.

    Here’s the code:

    Thanks for the heads up Rob, I think I have it fixed.
    Please drop me another note if you continue to see code funkiness.
