Murch on Jarhead

Jarhead (2005)
Jarhead (2005), Universal Studios

If you’ve been following Walter Murch’s forays with Final Cut Pro—Behind the Seen, which details his experiences on Cold Mountain (2003) is essential reading—you should take a look at the new promotional article on the Apple Pro site about cutting Jarhead (2005) in DVCPRO HD (PDF).

“Like any new development or invention—the cell phone or ATM machine—if they really fill a need, people accept them without even thinking about the miracle that’s happening… Final Cut Pro is like that. What I’m actually doing with it is quite amazing, but because it so completely fulfills my needs, it just feels natural even though there are some pretty amazing things going on in there.”

Jarhead is playing at Tinseltown this week.
