Old School Editing

by Marcus on January 8, 2009

Michael Kahn, editor on most Spielberg movies still edits movies using a Flatbed editor:

And a Moviola:

He edited Munich with this equipment, and won an Oscar for it. Pretty bad ass.

Kahn: “People find it hard to believe that Steven and I still edit film on a Moviola and a KEM. [But] Steven feels that film got us where we are today and he loves the smell of it and feel of it. We started that way and both really enjoy it.”

You probably won't get a more detailed reason than that. :) Also, George Lucas: “Michael Kahn can cut faster on a Movieola than anybody can cut on an Avid.”
