Description

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with editors Scott Morris and Oscar-winning editor Andrew Buckland, ACE about editing James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown.


Andrew’s been on Art of the Cut before for his work on The Girl on the Train, and for Ford v Ferrari for which he won an Oscar and a BAFTA and was nominated for an ACE Eddie. He also edited Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.


Scott Morris has been on Art of the Cut previously to discuss The Creator and Ad Astra. In various capacities he was also worked on several other movies covered by Art of the Cut including Oppenheimer, Don’t Look up, and The Lost City of Z.


This discussion includes - among other things - the difficulties of editing folk music, compressing multiple scenes into a montage, and the sacrifices made cutting a three and a half hour editor’s cut down to size.
