The Future of NLEs

Episode 30: Piotr tries to sell Ricardo & Erwann on jumping ship and abandoning their NLE of choice for the upcoming, revolutionary (his words), cloud based NLE: "Sequence". Erwann details why Final Cut finally releasing a big update is something that gave him back hope in a better life, as Apple embraces AI to catch up to its competitors. Finally Ricardo talks about the polish Camerimage Film Festival, where for the first in real life he got the chance to meet Piotr (and Cate Blanchett)! This american boy mentions how surprised he was to find out that Poland is an actual country - who knew ?

The Rashomon Effect

Episode 29: The gang investigates the Rashomon Effect ! They discuss the Kurosawa movie that started it all, the unreliable narrator theory, how the psychology field seized the term, and how Rashomon's legacy can be felt to this day in cinema, through movies like Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" or David Fincher "Gone Girl". Ricardo also forces his co-hosts to listen to his painful childhood memories, Piotr acts as a game show host when linking the Rashomon effect to the Mandela effect, and Erwann bores the hell out of everyone by talking about his love for an old TV show that noone cares for.

Editors VS Feedback

Episode 28! Ricky, Piotr and Erwann have been giving each other feedback on their projects, so they talk about how to spare everyone’s feelings while giving constructive criticism. They wonder who to ask for feedback, what to really keep from the notes given, test screenings, and the insanity of rating movies with the thumbs up/thumbs down method that streaming services enjoy. Also, is "It’s boring!" good or bad feedback ? Piotr says it's good...

Kuleshov Effect

A listener asked to hear more about editing techniques so Ricky and Piotr talk about the Kuleshov Effect or Editor’s Effect. Named after early 20th century Russian film maker and film theorist, Lev Kuleshov, the “Effect” or “Kuleshov Experiment” as it was also known as, was actually a demonstration proving the effectiveness of existing editing techniques.  Ricky and Piotr talk a little about who Kuleshov was, what the "Effect" is and how filmmakers like Hitchcock, Spielberg and others adapted it in their own film making. Then give examples of the Khuleshov Effect or Editor’s Effect in recent films and TV.

Are You Excited about Generative Extend?

The theme of this week's episode is "With great power comes great responsibility" as Piotr and Ricky talking about a few of the new AI offerings from Adobe (Generative Extend and Firefly) and Flawless AI's DeepEditor. Without getting deep into describing Adobe's applications, simply put they're useful tools for filmmakers/ artists in a pinch. i,e,. giving that shot a little more tails, fixing someones eye trace, creating missing shots, etc. Where as DeepEditor is some black magic deepfake that works wonders but could be devastating in the wrong hands. Ricky points out that Adobe and Flawless have language about being ethical so much so that DeepEditor can't be utilized without consent from actors. Ricky and Piotr also talk about Piotr attending a couple editing workshops at the Warsaw Film Festival. Plus, American Cinema Editor's EditFest Global and the next season of the podcast. Apologies for Ricky's terrible audio, he had the wrong mic selected. Also, quick correction - Ricky references the movie, "Tower" in regards to DeepEditor, but what he really meant was "Fall." Apololgies. Where were you on that one, AI?


Do you think AI will always be the useful tool or is it a harbinger of doom?

'Art of the Cut' with Steve Hullfish

Piotr and Ricky talk with editor-author-podcast host Steve Hullfish, ACE about his latest book, Art of the Cut, Vol. 2.  They get into how he prepares for interviews, how over 360 interviews with top editors have influenced his own work and the 3 common traits of great editors. Steve also shares the edit/ film making books he always goes back to, a great bad-client story and how he literally cut and pasted together the first volume of Art of the Cut! And there might be a good back and forth about how AI will impact assistant editors.


What books inspire you as an editor/film maker?

Experimental vs Incidental Learning

In this quick episode, Piotr uses learning to ride his electric unicycle BACKWARDS as an analogy to discuss with Ricky the way we learn editing. The words intentionally, incidentally, experimentally and accidentally are thrown around, but what it boils down to is that being a good editor isn't something you learn in a book; It's something that comes with years of doing it repeatedly; finding out new things along the way by accident or experimentation. Also, in this episode we hear about Ricky's house-moving whoas, his trip to Copenhagen and watching Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. Plus, Piotr mentions the Polish Netflix series, 1670.


Can you ride a unicycle backwards?
