Bob Murawski on the key to good editing

Editor Bob Murawski (1964) talks about the part of an editor in the movie making process and the key to good editing, his collaboration with Sam Raimi, the interference of the film studio's and actors. "When I'm editing it's more about trying to figure out when not to cut than when to cut".

Bob Murawski was a guest at the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam 2015 to give a Masterclass editing. Murawski is best known for his work with Sam Raimi, from Army of Darkness (1992), via the Spiderman trilogy to Oz the Great and the Powerful (2013). Together with his wife, editor Chris Innis, he won an Oscar for his work on The Hurt Locker (2008).

Fascinating interview. Especially the part where he blames the studio and others for the Spiderman 3 "mishmash, " which confirms the rumors. The only fault Raimi can take responsible for is not telling all the "director wannabes" to shut up and let him make the movie he intended from the start.
