William goldenberg film editor biography

He gave my career a tremendous boost — I owe him so much. After that, I went off and started cutting on my own. He knows the final rewrite of the movie is done in the editing room.

William Goldenberg (born November 2, ) is an American film editor and director.

So he is very good about shooting the pieces that I need to tell the story in the best possible way. To entice him — a die-hard Adidas fan — Nike designed a shoe around him, which would become one of the most famous sneaker brands in the world, Air Jordan. They were also up against much bigger competitors in Adidas and Converse, both of which were also trying to snag Jordan.

So we made it feel like he was pushing up against the clock and the system. They [Affleck and Richardson] shot it that way, and I cut it that way, giving it that electric energy feel. Starting with the opening montage, Affleck firmly sets the story in with wall-to-wall nostalgia-baiting music from the era: there were 45 needle drops in total, including 23 songs and 18 licensed scores from other films.

Throughout the film, Jordan played in brief glimpses by Damian Young is never directly shown, but we see the real Jordan in flashes of archival footage. Also, in the scene where the Jordans meet everyone in the Nike boardroom, we see the real Michael in the flash forward snippets. So, it would have been hard to include that and show an actor playing Michael.

William Goldenberg was born on 2 November in the USA. He is an editor and director, known for Zero Dark Thirty (), Argo () and Miami Vice.

It just worked out better for the film. The two share a couple of intense yet heartfelt conversations while negotiating the fate of a young man on the cusp of unfathomable success. Several crucial scenes take place over telephone calls between Sonny and David, and another with Deloris towards the end. Affleck chose to shoot these phone calls simultaneously, with three cameras on Messina and two on Damon.
