Re: Thank you Apple - and don't change course. Please

Really not coming out w/your best foot forward, Mike. ;)

First off, Mark, the guy you bashed, never bashed Carsten. Secondly, Mark is one of the most level headed, pragmatic people here. Finally, you call out the Coen Brothers for being trailblazers, yet Mark moved Bunim/Murray (the same company you kept bashing) from Avid to FCP years ago at a time when no one thought FCP was up to the task. In an unscripted world ruled by Avid, Mark and his team showed that FCP could excel in a very demanding environment (100+ seats, thousands of hours of footage, etc.,) on broadcast deadlines.

If you want to thank people for pushing boundaries and taking chances when other people are going "Oh, that's never going to work" you need to be thanking people like Mark.


As an aside, IMO, if any film editor should get credit for pioneering with FCP it should be Walter Murch.
