An art form barely 100 years old has seen the evolution of film grammar as new technologies emerge. Just as paintings changed when oil paint was overtaken by acrylic paint, motion pictures have seen three systemic technological changes: silent film to sound, black and white film to color, photochemical to digital. Each of these changes affected how filmmakers told stories. This talk - with many film clip samples - will attempt to give an overview of post-production technology with special emphasis on how the movement from photochemical to digital has affected the film editing process. In addition, the speaker, a film editor currently working in Hollywood, will describe his fifteen year adventure developing digital tools for film restoration.
