Happy Holidays, Post Production Fans! A bonus Rough Cut podcast featuring Elf editor, Dan Lebental ACE. Originally recorded in 2013, ten years after Elf made its debut in theaters, we chatted with Dan about his memories of working on the film, including…
- How the film originally had a darker, more cynical tone
- Working in a hybrid Avid/Film workflow
- When an editor and director become like “an old married couple”
- Cutting forced perspective footage
- How the studio always knew it would be a hit…yeah, right
Give the gift of Avid Media Composer!
