Discovering Zodiac
For director David Fincher, making a movie is an exploration. A discovery. And Final Cut Studio plays a lead role in that revelatory process.
"We've shot the setups, we have the coverage, we have the pieces that we feel we need" to create a project like the upcoming feature film "Zodiac," he explains. "And now we need to kind of sift through it and find the humanity of it." Using such built-in tools as multicam, he can "put all the screens up and go 'oh, he's great here and he's great here, so let's cut from these two.' It's just a really fast way to work."
"What this kind of toolset allows you to do is to experiment," he says. "It makes me go, 'okay, I'm telling the story I want to tell.' And that's a great world for making movies."
