Award–winning filmmaker Ric Burns and three of his longtime colleagues will provide an inside look at the documentary process in a seminar at Ithaca College. “Documentary Filmmaking: A Seminar in Collaboration” will be held on Wednesday, March 31, at 4 p.m. in Park Hall Auditorium. It is free and open to the public.
Joining Burns on the panel will be composer and 1974 Ithaca College alumnus Brian Keane, film editor Lishin Yu and sound editor Ira Spiegel. The seminar will focus on the interconnectedness of image, music and sound in the filmmaking process. Observe how a picture editor cuts for the sound editor, how the sound editor designs with the composer in mind and how ultimately they are all working to bring the director’s vision to the screen.
The audience will be treated to a sneak peak at the filmmakers’ latest project, “Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World,” which is scheduled for broadcast on PBS on May 10.
