Notas del episodio
Today on Art of the Cut we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Best Picture Oscar-winning classic from 1976, Rocky. The film also won an Oscar for its director, John Avildsen. And for Best Editing for its editors, Richard Halsey, ACE and Scott Conrad, ACE.
This interview is with Richard Halsey – and you’ll occasionally hear from Richard’s wife, Colleen, who is also an A.C.E. film editor. Richard was nominated for an Emmy and an ACE Eddie for editing Pirates of Silicon Valley and an ACE Eddie for the film Coast to Coast. In 2014 ACE gave him the Career Achievement Award in Editing for a career that included such classics as American Gigolo, Moscow on the Hudson, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Beaches, and Edward Scissorhands – which he edited with his wife, Colleen.
Today’s discussion is about cutting the film’s famous training montages, the shocking revelation that one of the film’s most famous shots is in reverse, and swapping out the film’s original ending in post.
