"He shoots for an editor." One of the best lessons any director can learn. A director should have as close of a working relationship with their editor as they do with their cinematographer.
Baxter starts editing the second day of shooting, when he gets the shots from day one. And they wait for his edits before they "strike" the sets, in case they need to do pick ups. So yes, there's a constant connection and feedback between the three, director, cinematographer, and editor, during the shooting.
Kirk is a fucking legend. Sifting through all that coverage of each scene must be an experience to say the least but clearly there's a magic that comes from having so many options in the edit. The fight scene in The Killer being a prime example of this in my opinion.
I'm so impressed you got Kirk for an episode! He's always so generous with his interviews. So much insight. So practical. Thanks for your work with the podcast! (The incredibly precise use of inserts from The Killer throughout the interview did not go unnoticed, bravo 🔪 🎵)

As a cinematographer and editor I completely appreciate the enthusiasm he gives while explaining his process, very detailed and honest, which is what all of us editors need to hear because like he said although we might have edited 100 things we still have some insecurities with new processes. Also, great questions guys! the questions really helped take the conversation into more depth. I loved every min of this and you now have a new follower! 🙌
This is probably the best video I've seen on the film making process. I had no idea how important the editor is and it's amazing to see how a director (or this director, anyway) can shoot everything his editor could possibly need. Thank you for this video.
It is a well-edited movie, absolutely, but cuts flowing one into another is relatively easy with proper planning. There are many examples of this you can find. If you mean _scenes_ flowing well into another without relying on establishing shots to place the characters etc, then yes, it's well done. However, I don't think it's the best edited film of Fincher's, and it's pretty linear. What's hard is dealing with things like jumping between different points in time, or with concurrent plotlines with separate characters and switching between them while maintaining audience attention, and joining them together at the right time. _The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo_ does this brilliantly, and it's a much more complicated plot that requires a lot more compression of events.
You don't just ask broad questions, but also get down to the nitty-gritty with stuff like "so then you do this, this and this?" This makes these interviews SUPER useful and makes you stand out.
I’ve got my first TV standard edit coming up with lots of dialogue, and this podcast couldn’t have prepared me better! Looking forward to ‘choreographing’ my edit next week, well done lads 👏🏼
Good luck to you! Make sure to make friends with the audio team, will save everyone headaches in the end. I learned the hard way, editor's job actually starts first day of shooting, earlier you're involved the better. I hate doing ADR
Nice to hear his honesty at 17:11 - because so many times I hear ponsey explanations of edits that were really trial and error and patience and persistent work.
I was really impressed by the rhythm and pacing of this movie. It flows so seamlessly and seems like a near perfect balance of stillness in the mundane procedure, tension building & then intense explosions of immediate action as a result of the forward momentum. I love the drawn out execution of a task, as in a 70s crime thriller like The Mechanic, The French Connection or much of Melville's work. Simplified plot & narrative allowing for complexity to grow in the detailed environment and character. I'm a bit confused as to some reviewers saying this was unsatisfying or they didn't understand why David Fincher would take this on. It was clearly him returning to what he's known for and what he does best, a return to form & craft but with something different enough & a kind of subjective approach that we rarely see.
I absolutely loved the editting on Mindhunter, the Netflix series that was also produced and partially directed by Fincher. It's an absolute masterclass.
this was such an incredible and insightful video!, and it is amazing to know that the iconic , 6 sentence dialogue - anticipate , not improvice .... - was added dialogue to fill an edit !!
Most masterful edits in modern cinema… the economy, intention and fidelity of animation. Every frame erupts purpose & interest. Can’t peel my eyes off the screen, like sucking on candy it’s compulsive.
Fincher having trent and atticus is also a major plus. The gone girl scene has an excellent soundtrack that really make the scene feels shorter than it really is.
How interesting. I always thought that the better people got, the more intent they entered the edit with. This guy has a similar process to me where it’s more put something together that sucks and refine it till it’s good Opposite of Dodford who seems to have an exact idea before production begins. Different genre though. Cool 👍🏾
One of the most remarkable non-blinking takes I've ever seen (pun intended) is in the opening poker-game shot of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Robert Redford doesn't blink for so long that, try as I might, I can't keep up with him without my eyes watering uncontrollably. I'd probably watched that movie a half-dozen times without noticing that detail, and now it is just so brilliantly obvious.
24:12 I remember a shot from the beginning of "Zodiac". when the couple watches the Zodiac´s car as it vanishes into the night - and the cut comes just a little bit too late which makes it immediately unsettling. Great interview and video!
Cool vid/good stuff, but holy moly how does no-one know about the blinking thing at this point if they even have an interest in movies ("advanced technique"!)? Michael Caine has been talking about it for half a century!
Fantastic work as always fellas - It's really good to see you're able to sit down with these big players from traditional and create a free platform for them to share their knowledge. Keep doin what you're doin! Hearing a seasoned pro like Kirk sit there and say "We end up in situations not by formal training but just by the 10,000 hours... and most of the time I start off thinking 'I don't know what the fuck to do'" - that was SO encouraging. As someone who's clocked my 10,000 hours, I still feel an immense imposter syndrome at the beginning of every project, and knowing that even people like Kirk have the same feelings is immensely validating.
So, speaking as an illustrator, doing multiple takes makes a lot of sense. When painting a painting or large, finished piece, I will do as many, smaller, simpler drawings/ideas to choose from. It’s just logic
Lately. The moment a sponsorship or ad pops up. I stop watching the current video.. Pls put them all at the beginning or end. Sincerely. Every TH-cam watcher
I was impressed with the impact sounds of the glass bong and how it didn’t break after the first 2 hits. However, I feel like a bong of that quality wouldn’t have shattered like that in any way shape or form, especially not from the kinetic impact of a muscle-head human. After the first 2 minutes of this video I paused it and watched ‘The Killer’ and was hooked from the start because of the music/sound design. Does anyone know if there’s any special meaning/significance regarding the Buddha? The scene I'm talking about is roughly 1:37:17 into the film. The Killer enters an underground parking lot/lobby - “you’ve arrived at your destination” comes from Google Maps, the Killer looks up to see a portrait of Buddha hanging on the wall. The way he looks at it makes me feel its significant to him at the time, like a synchronicity of something his ‘inner voice’ was thinking before arrival; he wasn’t listening to music at the time of the Buddha sighting, he was intensely looking for someone to judge their position in his plan. The shot after also shows the Buddha, right before a van drives in front - taking your eye off the Buddha and onto the next vehicle - (the vehicle with the person who is the target of the killer). Perhaps both of these Buddha shots were just ways to get my eye to flow around the screen and land on the flower like it did ever so slightly, like a bee. its ok if this comment makes no sense to you, I just got defensive over the bong because I know quality glass 😂📷🌿
i saw the movie on the phone so i couldn't get all the details. lol gotta saw again on a big screen. also i got the feeling it was trent reznor again ? but not sure either subbed
I enjoyed "The Killer" very much. One of Fincher's best films, to me, in a long time. The original "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" with Noomi Rapace was superior to Fincher's with Rapace truly embodying the character to a more convincing level in my view.
I am a novice when it comes to film editing, although I love the art (and do it for 1 min videos at best). The first thing I noticed in this film was the uniqueness of the sound editing ... I just thought ... okay now this is something fresh! Now, after enjoying this video so much (I just discovered your channel btw, and have subscribed) ... I'm gonna watch #TheKiller again to appreciate the video editing! Love this!
I really appreciate the content but, the sponsor? Exporting at 4K is one thing. Being stuck at 24/25 fps for that export is ludicrous. Riverside is at the best an ok remote recording platform. Until they allow an export at 30fps, they do not get my vote.
@@ginolynch I’m glad that it helped. Basically, you have wide latitude to use short example clips in an educational video of this kind. But the more you commercialise that same educational video, the trickier it gets.

The way you guys use the clips/editing/scenes while he’s explaining the process is GOLD, you guys crush these 🙏🏼
Totally agreed. This is a great fit film lovers as well as Fincher fans
almost like their editors...
Fincher assembles such talented teams around him. He’s a true master of his craft by understanding you need to have other masters working with you

Video Editors are underappreciated.
The Social Network is one of the best edited movies of all time. Each shot flows into the next one. Kirk is firmly in my top 10 movie editors.

i wish this episode was bigger, i could hear Kirk for hours
This man can make any scene magnetic. The precision, the intention and sound editing is fucking amazing.
So much insane value and insight. Dude is a total pro. This was a great interview!
Nice little cut to presenter listening when Kirk is talking about cutting to the person not yet doing the talking but listening.

This. Is. Gold.
I just want to say: MANY THANKS
I was thinking about this exactly while watching. "look! Fassbender is doing the try not to blink, big time"

What a fantastic interview.
Best highlights of this video is when Editor cuts to your headbobble in agreement...
BRILLIANT. thank you guys so much for sharing this interview. priceless insight.
This was a great discussion, thank you!
great interview, loved the editing : )
such an amazing movie on every level
Well done. Thanks for this. Without Kirk it would not be the same movie.
I blinked so many times while watching this
And on top of this he has good taste in glasses frames

Great conversation. Great unpacking.
FANTASTIC EPISODE, GUYS! I learned so much. Thank you.
This is freaking gold.
great insights here. i watch kirk's facemash scene weekly
If we were to get a sequel which I actually think is not that far fetched it would definitely be a killer

That fight scene looks like a videogame cutscene. Was the shaking digital? Something wasn't real in that.
Fantastic content. Really enjoyed this!
22:11 So I guess some of the narrations were added after to fill the gap in sound? No wonder it felt like an afterthought...to me at least
Kirk fucking Baxter , this is sooooo cool
Great chat

the whole video I was just focused on how much I'm blinking
Congrats on the 100K SUB WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i saw the movie on the phone so i couldn't get all the details. lol
gotta saw again on a big screen. also i got the feeling it was trent reznor again ? but not sure either

Something about this title feels off. Fix the title. This should have way more views.
So bascially, you cut the Flincher?
10:46 : When he says “I’m slightly clipping action”, what does he mean?
Cutting a few frames for look faster
There needs to be a discussion on the lack of sufficient front lighting in most of David Fincher's more recent movies. Just saying.
Brilliant episode. There’s a ton of footage from the movie was there any copyright issues with that? Did you have to get permission?
