’cause this was a very busy movie, just nonstop dawn to dusk.
最后我们讨论过…
We did go over at the end…
将整部电影分成三部分
and we split into three units right at the end.
加里拍摄了第二部分
Gary directed the second unit…
我有幸拍摄了”星战”的第三部分

怎么样? -是的 好多了

I’d started to see things cut together. I wasn’t happy with it.
我会在周末过来 自己剪辑电影
I’d come in on weekends, and I’d recut the film on my own.
停

停
Cut.
使用传统老派的剪辑方式 平平无奇…
It was cut in a very traditional manner of just playing things out in masters…
然后进行渲染…
and then going into the coverage…
仅凭叙事氛围来剪辑拼接…

剪辑划分场景 来驱动剧情
kind of drive the rhythm of the scenes.

without any film coming out, without one shot being finished.
因为他们在制♥造♥光学打印机和镜头
‘Cause they were building optical printers and cameras.
我们在做模型
We were building models.
乔治对工作进展很失望
I know that George was disappointed in the work…
我也为此感到愧疚
