TheRoughCut@avid.com (Avid) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 06:42:00 GMT

What does a sound re-recording mixer do? Why does the picture editor add sound effects and music? How many tracks of foley are used on a television episode? These questions and more were answered when I interviewed Scott Weber and Frank Morrone, sound re-recording mixers and Chris Nelson, editor, of the hit ABC series ‘Lost’ on-stage at the Broadcast Education Association (BEA) conference at NAB 2010.

Recently, I had the chance to moderate a live chat with two members of the editorial department for Avatar. Not only is it the biggest box office hit of all time, it's also nominated in nine different categories in the Academy Awards. Joining us for the web chat were co-editors Steve Rivkin, and first assistant editor Jason Gaudio. Steve and Jason told us all about their journey through the world of Avatar and then took questions from our live audience. In case you missed it, here's an encore of our talk with Steve and Jason.
