new training tool
I have a feature film shot in real time using eleven different cameras simultaneously (mostly one room like Rope, 12 Angry Men). I can provide the raw footage and shooting script. This is the idea for the next step:
I’m intent on making this part of a training tool for young editors. And basically I’m searching for feedback.
1 – Could this product have benifitted you when first learning your craft?
2 – Would this product be useful as a teacher/instructor/mentor?
3 – Would you purchase/have purchased this product?I’m attempting something new and different for the marketplace.
Thanks in advance for any input. -

This is such an unusual and non-standard form of shooting, and having material, so different from anything else people might encounter, that my first reaction would be that it’s not a good vehicle for instruction. It’s also limited specifically to narrative fiction, which, while appealing to those in LA and similar production centers, is not the vast bulk of production created by this software. It might perhaps be good training material for a film school, but again the multicamera production makes it so unusual that it might have limited appeal. Just my thoughts on it without seeing anything of the material or how it’s shot.
All the best,
Tom

it sounds more like you want the film cut for free.
Is the film already edited so the students can have something to compare their work to. So that they might see what decisions “other” editors made onthe same materaial and decide whether it is valid.Would a student, purchase the right to use thei training tool?
Would an institution?🙂

this sounds an interesting experiment
I just dont know what commercial use shooting and editing with so many cameras would have; its too expensive!
upto 4 Panavisions filming in sync on a set for a multi million dollar per episode TV series is one thing, but who would have the money and resources to routinly shoot with more than that
cutting football games with a 12 camera OB using a computerised shotlister to replicate the cuts for later onlining is routine.
Using PSC and using each take in separate tracks is routine, but where does 11 synced tracks come into practical use?please explain
