Subject:   AVID offline

 

Maybe it's just the new moon:

 

Marc Pitre:

Michael Wiese is right that Frank Zappa's 200 Motels is the first distributed

feature made entirely on videotape (PAL to be exact).

 

Arthur Lizie Jr:  Coppola did use video for viewing rushes, and pre-editing

in One From The Heart.  He shot 35mm though.  He found using a handi-cam a

great way to proof the boom and steadycam blocking in his elaborate sets.

 

Let's not forget that the use of video in offline goes way back to the late

seventies and the use of the "Montage" editing system.  AVID owes a lot to

the pioneering of that system.

 

Cheers.
