Get ready to learn some insider knowledge about the Coen Brothers’ latest masterpiece, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” from none other than their associate editor, Eyal Dimant. While the Coen Brothers are known for their incredible writing and directing skills, editing has always been a crucial part of their filmmaking process. In fact, Joel got his start as an assistant editor on “The Evil Dead” back in 1981.
But with “Buster Scruggs,” the Coen Brothers have made the transition to digital editing and enlisted the help of other collaborators, including Eyal. And boy, did he have some interesting insights to share.
Eyal got to sit next to the Coen Brothers for nearly a year, learning about their unique editing process and workflow. He helped streamline their digital editing process and even got to be a sounding board for their ideas and suggestions.
But perhaps the most important lesson we can learn from Eyal and the Coen Brothers is to never stop challenging ourselves and learning. Even with decades of experience, they are always looking for new ways to grow their craft. So, take a cue from these filmmaking legends and keep pushing yourself to learn and improve.
