My formal studies into the amazing artform of the music video began in 1981, when MTV first appeared. I was 15. Soon, I’d watched so many that I was dreaming them… and since then, hearing great music has always triggered MTV-inspired cinematic visions. Today, my studies continue, and I consider myself very lucky to have crossed paths with many masters in this field, each of whom is a hero to a director who has made something I’ve seen on television and loved, for one reason or another. Damion Clayton, editor at Rock Paper Scissors, is one of those heroes...

Santa Monica visual effects boutique a52 is very proud to detail its contributions to a new broadcast spot from Minneapolis-based advertising agency Fallon for Travelers Insurance and director Frank Budgen, which also features the talents of acclaimed cinematographer Ellen Kuras...
Editor Angus Wall of Rock Paper Scissors and VFX supervisor Pat Murphy of a52 have collaborated again with director Frank Budgen of Gorgeous Enterprises for "Drifters," a new TV spot from Fallon Worldwide in Minneapolis for Travelers Insurance. The story of “Drifters” unfolds in the skies above America, as we see thousands of small red umbrellas elegantly floating above. As we hear the song "Worries," from the folk artist Langhorne Slim, we watch as the hypnotic flotilla moves from the ocean, over the countryside and, finally, into the skyscraper-filled canyons of a city where they gently drift down to protect a home, a car and a business. Agency credits on the spot go to Scott O'Leary, Ryan Peck, Vic Palumbo and Kate Talbot. For Gorgeous, Cassie Hulen was EP and Ellen Kuras was Director of Photography, along with Budgen himself. The spot was produced by Alicia Richards. For Rock Paper Scissors, Executive Producers were Linda Carlson and Carol Lynn Weaver. Kim Colen produced, and Grant Surmi was editorial assistant. For a52, Patrick Murphy was VFX Supervisor and Angus Wall was Colorist. Flame Artists were Patrick Murphy, Stefan Gaillot, Mike Bliss and Andy Hall, and CGI Supervisor was Kirk Shintani. VFX Producer was Jenny Bright, and Executive Producer was Jennifer Sofio Hall. The mix was performed at Eleven Sound by Jeff Fuller.

...The spot was set to an archival recording of what’s believed to be Whitman reading his poem “America” in 1888, which Fukunaga and Rock Paper Scissors editor Elliot Graham used as an “emotional” editing guide. “A lot of the power of the spot comes from [Whitman’s] poem,” says Graham. “There’s sort of an honesty to it. If you start to go away from that in the visuals, they don’t work with the words.”...

Anonymous Content is out with two new high profile spots, one of which might contain some of most astonishing copy ever read by a celebrity endorser. The spot, "Driven," directed by Frank Budgen for Wieden + Kennedy and Nike, features Tour de France star and Nike endorser Lance Armstrong, seen in a variety of quick-cut shots as he prepares for the race. Intercut are powerful scenes of people being treated in hospitals, clinics and physical therapy sessions, all of whom have suffered some debilitating loss - limbs missing, undergoing chemo, being tested, etc. "The critics say I'm arrogant," says Armstrong in the voiceover. "Washed up. A doper. A fraud. They can say what they want. I'm not back on my bike for them. The other spot, "America," is the lynchpin of the new Levi's campaign, also from Wieden + Kennedy, that employs dramatic imagery and the words of poet Walt Whitman to kick-start the image and identity of this iconic brand. It was directed and shot by Cary Fukunaga, who has joined Anonymous' commercial division after originally being repped solely by its management arm. His feature film "Sin Nombre" won the U.S. Dramatic Directing Award and the U.S. Dramatic Excellence in Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival. For "Driven," agency credits go to Tyler Whisnand, Danielle Flagg, Karl Lieberman, Ryan O'Rourke, Shannon Worley, Mark Fitzloff, Susan Hoffman and Ben Grylewicz. Anonymous credits to go EP Jeff Baron, Producer Suzie Tedesco and DP Michael Bernard. The spot was edited by Angus Wall at Rock Paper Scissors, with visual effects from a52. For "America," agency credits go to Whisnand, Flagg, Fitzloff, Hoffman and Grylewicz, as well as to Juliana Montgomery, Rudy Adler, Julia Oh and Jeff Selis. The spot was cut by Elliot Graham, also at Rock Paper Scissors, with effects again from a52. Anonymous credits go to EP Danielle Peretz and Producer Joe Mandarino.

Rock Paper Scissors' stalwart Angus Wall might well have made the It List on the back of his Oscar nomination for editing arguably the most technically complicated film of last year, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Cutting some of this year's strongest work and adding the most AICE nominations and joint most wins of any editor this year cements his place in our take on the top tier. Working alongside the famously particular Mr. Fincher, Wall brought tension and narrative to a crunching climax in both the epic Nike "Fate" (pictured), for which he won best storytelling at AICE, and the time-tautening Nike campaign "Fast Forward", "Manny" and "Maria" by Malcolm Venville, for which he also took top honors. A cut above in every sense.

David Brodie'’s earliest recollection of wanting to be an editor is a reminder that the old mantra that less is more is exactly the opposite in the world of editing. “In college we had to shoot and edit a 16mm black-and-white short. Mine was about a man who falls in love with a blue ribbon-winning roasted chicken, Poultrous Obsession. Having a five-minute idea and five minutes of film, I shot with a 1:1 ratio and learned that shooting 1:1 is a terrible idea,” says 29-year-old Brodie. “Some shots didn’t survive the development process, an the ones that did wouldn’t fit together the way I planned. So I had to figure out a way to make something out of this nonsense. The result was crap, but in making that crap I figured out that the edit room was the place where the narrative, for better or worse, is crafted.”...

film explains the context of that time; King was in Memphis to support
sanitation workers who sought only to be treated as men as part of his
Poor People's Campaign. That campaign represented a shift in King's mission

bigger target and sealed his tragic fate. The film gives background
on the last days, including the Mountaintop speech, as well as the last
moments. Kyles was with King during his last hour....

I wondered for
many years, I don t know how long, why was I there at that crucial moment.
The Reverend Samuel Kyles, best known as Billy, pauses. I knew it was
more than coincidence. I just didn t know what. Forty years later,
Kyles says, he still doesn t have the words for what he experienced on
4 April 1968. Standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis,
he watched as his friend and fellow preacher, Dr. Martin Luther King, was
shot and killed. Contemplating that event, as well as those that led to
it and followed, Kyles appears serene, though hardly complacent. His recollections
form the basis of The Witness: From The Balcony of Room 306, a nominee
for 2008 s Best Documentary Short at the upcoming Academy Awards and premiering
tonight on HBO2....

InContention.com, Feb. 16, 2009: TECH SUPPORT INTERVIEW: The crafts of ‘Benjamin Button,’ part one
Thirteen Oscar
Nominations. Very few films in Academy history have achieved that
status and, prior to this year, no film had secured that many nods since
Chicago in 2002. But The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has managed
it this year, largely because of the incredible work going on below-the-line.
Last week, I featured composer Alexandre Desplat and his role as film music
composer on David Fincher s film. In the past week, I have spoken to cinematographer
Claudio Miranda, production designer Don Burt, set decorator Victor Zolfo,
costume designer Jacqueline West, film editors Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall,
visual effects supervisor Eric Barba and makeup artist Greg Cannom, a healthy
lot, all of them cited for their work on the film by the Academy this year....

Variety, Feb. 12, 2009: Editors cover tracks with digital tricks
...Timing is
another consideration. In the past, if editors wanted to tighten a dialogue
scene, they could remove pauses or entire lines by cutting between the
two characters. Now, they can do it within the shot itself -- a technique
David Fincher's editing duo, Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall, perfected on "Zodiac."
The film was running long, but it had been shot on digital. "There's no
film scanning, so to split a performance for the right side of the frame
against a performance on the left side is a very easy and practical thing
to do," Baxter says....
