About this episode
Today on Art of the Cut, editor Sam Restivo, talks about editing Ridley Scott’s “The Dog Stars” with co-editor, Oscar-winner, Claire Simpson.
Sam has been on Art of the Cut before for Gladiator 2 and Napoleon. He was also an additional editor on House of Gucci, The Last Duel, and The Greatest Showman.
Today’s discussion includes topics like the importance of setting up the movie with its meditative open, the careful use of aerial footage, and knowing when to let a powerful performance dictate the decision NOT to cut.
