this interview was incredible but the word HUNTERSEEKER moving ominously across the screen, i lost it lmao that's so good absolutely loved every single picture of the WIP editing including denis' hand picking up the matchbox

Love to hear masters speaking about their work. I've learned so much from this interview. Specifically your comments about the burning palms shots as elements of world building and getting the audience invested, the objects that re-appear (bull statue, ring, beetle at Duncan Idaho's death) as references, and 'brain stemmy' shots... were extremely interesting and thought provoking. The idea about re-watching an edit in black and white, to see it with fresh eyes in a sense, is also quite interesting. What a treat to be able to have these insights into how you think about your work. Thanks for sharing.

Magnificent interview! Sharing so much insight in such a humbling way!

This is singlehandedly the BEST interview I have ever seen. It's easy to watch, interesting to listen to, but the interviewer is also so good at asking industry-relevant questions. They know what they themselves are talking and asking about, and are simply asking for their perspective, story, elaboration, and excitement. I feel BOTH parties enjoyed their time here, and that is an amazing thing to see. Thank you!

So inspiring...mext time i m cutting anything..i must watch this... thanks joe...so awesome of you

I learnt so much just by watching this..gotta make a video on it..on my channel...pure gold...

Fantastic interview. Inspired

This guys voice sounds just like the narrators voice in Dune Part 1 when Paul is watching the projector film on the Fremen - ah hah! It is!!

I’m a director who’s decided to take up editing after the birth of my son and I have to thank you for this and all your podcasts. It’s inspired me tremendously and helped me both on and off set.

Amazing interview. I'm an architect raised and currently returning (from the UK) to live in Budapest. I had been a fan of books from the age 13, but always thought it's impossible to put to film (although I did enjoy the Lynch version as a kid). Your Dune movies were outstandingly ambitious, for me, personally inspiring as a designer... The artistry, invention, design, photography, and -of course - editing including the sound is so similar to the atmosphere of the books, I am in awe. It's so hard to grasp, yet to portray. Contemplative, poignant. Congratulations, truly. The sensory images you were mentioning I beleive is strongly connected to the concept called haptic architecture (in this case the architecture is the set of the shot, whether man-made or natural), read the Eyes of the Skin by Juhanni Pallasmaa (Flopping an image is also a tool we use sometime to see the proportions and designs)

I’m beyond sad to hear how much was left on the cutting room floor. Why can’t we just get a mini series of this shiat!?!?!

Joe, thank you for your awe-inspiring work and for sharing these interviews with us. I really hope there is a new extended interview for Dune: Part Two. Can't express just how inspiring and enriching this inside look into the process & thinking that goes into making historic masterpieces like Dune Part One & Two is.

Man even his voice is fancy, he should be VA for animation.

I would love to have Dune read by Joe. He is the voice in the movie talking about the sandworms

Hey Joe, I just watched Dune: Part 2 this weekend. I work as an Assistant Editor in scripted broadcast television, and all I can say is, your work is deeply inspiring to me. It absolutely reignited a flame that was beginning to dwindle a bit for my profession. Your choices and dedication to using all of the tools we have as editors (timing, sound, VFX) have absolutely given me the spirit needed to improve my storytelling skills. Denis was absolutely the perfect director to make Dune, but it's clear that you were absolutely the perfect editor to make it with him.

I just now watched Dune last night and I love it! I don't know why It took me this long to watch it. It's a very very good film. You can tell a lot of care and brilliant minds went into making this movie. It's the story, it's biblical and epic. All the small details. I just live this world. It could be a real place somewhere out there among the stars. I can't wait to see part 2 !

Thank you Joe Walker for your outstanding work on countless excellent movies!

That's a cool bit of kit!

How is it possible to mispronounce Villeneuve’s name so many ways. 0:24 Vinerf ? Really ?

Joe Walker! We need to see a video about your work on Dune 2. Such fascinating and genius chiices in this artful movie. Cheers from France

For God’s sake pronounce the director’s name properly.

There is intentionally no mention of other psychic drugs?

What a grate interview. Least but efficient.

“Human Spider” 😬 1:38

Such a good interview. Thanks!

Fantastic interview. I'm very excited for those yet to come!

He is the Narrator, teaching Paul about the Fremen! OH MY GOD close your eyes listen to his voice! …oh wait he talk about it. 😅

I was never going to see Dune: Part One because I had never read the book and had no idea what it was about. After a few friends convinced me to go see it in IMAX it only took a few minutes before I was hooked. Well directed, shot, acted, and especially edited. Thanks Joe! You're becoming one of my favorite editors.

Hans Zimmer saying _"I'm looking for something with the efficiency of the word fuck,"_ is a quote that's going to stay with me for a long time lol.

Great interview. Joe you are the one. Thanks. 👋👋

Attack of The Clones?

Gorgeous film. Amazing interview. Thanks

Loved this interview! After seeing the Dune: Part Two trailer in theaters a couple of times now I’ve started to notice that (depending on the theater) the aspect ratio is different. Some are 2:35, others 1:90 and also full 1:43 imax. What is the standard aspect ratio for Dune 2 is it 2:35 like Dune 1 or is it now 1:90 and it just goes down or up depending on the theaters capabilities? Thanks!

Wow, this is a great interview. Thank you!

Watched this interview a few times now, great stuff. Can’t wait to see your work with part 2!

Thank you for all uploading this! I booked my current editing job simply because I mentioned in the interview that you were my favorite editor. The relationships you build with your directors is what gets me so excited and gets me up every morning.

Hola Joe! I really enjoyed this interview. Gracias!

Thanks for uploading this!! Was trying to find the original so I could rewatch it.. again... and again.. :)

Thank you for uploading this again. I was looking for the video at the original link but it went offline. Always a joy listening to your insights. Hope you're well!

Very insightful!

Never get tired of dune and that honey voice of Mr walker 😊hope you're well joe 🙏

Hmmm, I’m trying to be sold on whether to buy MetaSynth. Couldn’t the famous and free PaulStretch do just as good if not better job for this type application?

Thanks for this but bring more tutorials, please, Joe :D Metasynth is a beast!

I'm just re-watching Sicario and you used the same method in the bar scene didn't you? After Emily Blunt orders the beers you can hear similar screaming in the background

Thanks for sharing Joe! This seems like a great tool, I'm sure I can put it to work. I love your Sicario example, that non-diagetic sound acting almost like subliminal messaging to the audience - that's some cool stuff :)

That lovely section from Britten was most welcomed!

You mention Sicario and I'm in.

Great tutorial Mr. Walker. I know you come from a musical background and training, so this was nice to see.

Very cool, thanks for sharing Joe! Please keep the videos coming
