Even as someone whose experience is more in digital than analog, my favorite part of making a film is editing. And Mr. Welles perfectly explained why. This is so moving.
though I'm in my 40s and remember watching Orson Welles films since I was a kid. and the man and others influence myself to enroll into film school. I would love if Orson got the chance to do his film of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness." John Huston's version of 1956 Moby Dick and Orson as Father Mapple giving that sermon was pretty haunting.
My cousin worked in editing film--in the digital world of course. She didn't like it and found it tedious. So I expected someone to say it is a pain in the *** to edit film. I worked a little in audio engineering beginning in the mid-late 90s when reel to reel and ADAT machines were being phased out for computers. I remember seeing the late music producer Steve Albini splicing audio tape together on a Struder machine on a RUclips video. Such detail and precision. It must be the same as repairing watches or working as a jeweler. And yes Welles was an eloquent speaker.
This is how, whilst fighting back tears… I discuss British crisps! I get especially emotional when discussing tomato flavour Snaps and Frazzles! Why the hell did I move to France? 🥔🇬🇧
No, sorry, I made this video two years ago so I don't remember the name of the song. I got it off of Artlist.io though, maybe if you search on there you will find it.
Orson was so right. Editing can make or break a film. The original assembly cut of _Star Wars_ was...is...a load of old crap. How can such a brilliant movie ever be bad, you ask? Well, if it's too long, sequences are put in clunky ways, unnecessary repetition of plot data is left in, the edits themselves are not great etc. From a poor misshapen lump of half finished rock came the Michelangelo's David of _Star Wars,_ emerging from heavy recutting and rearranging. Cool as the cut stuff is in itself....
He is hands down the best speaker I've had the privilege of hearing
Could listen to him talk all day. Cadence so sweet
They didn't know what they had in Welles.
“They” never know much.
I think what was in wells was alcohol
He is 300lbs of pure charisma
Reminds me of the Kirk actor, William Shatner... Similar punctuation of every third word.
This man had true passion for filmmaking.
and drinking. he had a problem.
I’d have loved to hear him and Tarantino riff about movies

Welles is the filmmaker that every great director turns to when they need a huge kick in the ass. He told it like it is. And it still is.
Hot gravy! We get a Carlyle reference and the metaphysical conceit of filmmaking as music. I never tire of Welles.
the most poetic advertisement I've ever scene.... now how do I get my hands on one of those
M o V i e O L a s ?
LOL, he must have been the inspiration for Frasier Crane. Legend.
Wow, now THAT is appropriate!
Was this an ad for the moviola? Even if so, very cool
They did salvage that Paul Masson commercial, after all
Mwaaaaahaaaahaaaaa, the French…

You can check out a filmed version of Orson's radio performance of Heart of Darkness
Este hombre habla y es como si te dijera algo desde lo más profundo de su alma
One of the kings.
He was So easily Tarantino'ed!

Yeah it's a whole lot easier now. I don't mind editing, it's like putting a puzzle together. But a lot of people do find it tedious.
@@robotsandlostpoets Editors make the film work. Definitely underappreciated.

THE BEST !!!!!!!
Production is just gathering footage, film making is in the editing of sound and image.
Which film/documentary is this excerpt from? Orson Welles is terrific as always.
It's called filming Othello, the whole thing is on RUclips.
Nice subtitle, which font?
I can't remember, just one of the standard ones from davinci resolve
That’s a KEM editing table, not a Moviola. I doubt Orson knew the difference because he was obviously blitzed.
I cast jack Black as Orson Welles for the biopic.
I think Mark Hamill would do a great job...
Jack Black seems pretty serious here
Can you reveal the name of the music used in the background?
No, sorry, I made this video two years ago so I don't remember the name of the song. I got it off of Artlist.io though, maybe if you search on there you will find it.
@@robotsandlostpoets Thanks. I'd just like to say this is an excellent edit. I must have watched it 20x already.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
What is the music in the background?
Yea?
was this an ad for moviolas
What is this footage from?
It's called filming Othello, the whole thing is on RUclips.
unwatchable with the hardcoded subtitles
this isn't tiktok
Look like the director's house from nope
Enough w the giant subs pls. This ain’t tiktok
Don't tell me what to do pls. this ain't your channel.
And here we have the post production CGI computer that has ruined every movie of the last quarter century.
Hate the subtitles and won’t engage further w your channel because of them…
And...?
@@robotsandlostpoets good point… 😂
Lose the subtitles.
nope.
I have all his films, and I don't recall Welles ever using subtitles...
