Today we’re speaking with Oscar-nominated Australian-born editor, Paul Machliss, ACE. We’ll be talking about his latest collaboration with director Edgar Wright, “The Running Man.”
Paul last chatted on Art of the Cut when he cut Wright’s “Last Night in Soho,” and before that for “Baby Driver” for which he won a BAFTA, and was nominated for an ACE Eddie and an Oscar.
Paul was also nominated for an ACE Eddie for his work on “Scott Pilgrim versus the World.” He’s edited TV, including “Fleabag.” And dozens of musical specials, documentaries and concerts for the likes of Led Zeppelin and Diana Krall.
This interview discusses how Paul’s early career as an on-line editor helped him on this film, the value of editing on-set, and the technology that kept the whole post machine whirring.
