#045 - Editing for David Fincher

I said, the client wants to change the music!

I recently stumbled across this behind the scenes featurette on the editing of David Fincher's Zodiac, which I remember watching back in 2007, and was struck by the immortal words:

"and then we are converting the files to DVCPro HD for editing in Final Cut Pro."

What a blast from that past that is!

DVCPro HD.

Time marches on.

Anyway, it triggered a run down the rabbit hole that is YouTube and this treasure trove of behind the scenes featurettes of what it is like to edit for David Fincher.
