And sometimes NO editing is necessary.

[Andrew Kimery] “as anyone seen the movie Timecode?”
And there is always Rope.

[Phil Hoppes] ” As I said previously, it would not surprise me too that the animation was designed in conjunction with a choreographer.”
Yes, our chicken-and-egg diversion aside, certainly. This is creatively one truly “multi-media” endeavor.
[Phil Hoppes] “All that being said we are diverging hugely from the intent of the original post. It is a very beautiful production. Quite artistic and a very nice blend of old school (dance) with new school (light show). For me it has a very nice esthetic quality and is quite engaging.”
Indeed. To Bill’s point, the world is not sixteen by nine. There is motion content all around us, not just on TV, or the web, or our tablets.
An enormous amount of motion work never passes an editor at all.

As you say, it would be necessary for the dancers to be precise as they repeated the performance, but that is what good dancers do.”Absolutely, as much as I love animation… I think the dancers did the hard part. I’m always stunned by the physicality of good dancers, and I’m especially amazed when they can make something so difficult look so easy. 🙂

And speaking of shots where there is no edit, who can forget the early establishing shot in John Frankenheimer’s The Train? I wonder how many feet of film ended up on the floor before they nailed that?

[Joseph W. Bourke] “And speaking of shots where there is no edit, who can forget the early establishing shot in John Frankenheimer’s The Train?”
Frankenheimer was a wonderful director, great use of moving camera in many of his films. There are many other famous long takes to admire, including the amazing opening shot of Wells’ “Touch of Evil.”

As well as the famous final 7 minute crane shot that ends Antonioni’s “The Passenger.”

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Russian Ark:”
Russian Ark is a trip, though I confess that I’ve never been able to do anything other than make myself skim through it.
And if we’re going to go whole hog on this, lets not forget Warhol’s Sleep and Empire.
I truly enjoyed the performance Bill linked to. I just think its a hoot to think of long one camera takes as anything”new.”

Love them both.
Also, the Copa tracking shot in Goodfellas and the mock Touch of Evil shot in The Player.

I listened to a 90 minute talk mike figgis gave at the Guardian open weekend – he spoke quite a bit about putting that together – compared it to scoring music more than editing. Tragically I completely forget half the detail – but he is an extremely interesting dude.
he was scandalously indiscreet about hollywood too. Had some hilarious stories about hollywood producers and richard gere.
