Dave Cerf (San Francisco) is a filmmaker, mucisian, sound designer and software designer. His earliest memory is when his parents replaced his crib with a mainframe computer. After graduation from the Califoria Institute of the Arts, he moved to the Bay Area and began collaborating with other musicians, filmmakers and media artists. He composed music for Scott Kennedy's film OT: Our Town and Sam Green's The Weather Underground and provided a live audio performance over the films of Jennifer Reeves, Pat O'Neill and Melinda Stone, including her 2003 Californa Tour of abandoned drive-in movie theatres.
In this workshop, Cerf will share some of his editing tricks and short cuts to get the computer to do the work for you, combining technologies like AppleScript, XML, and a host of other tools to help in the editing process. This workshop will focus on enabling tools for better transcript management and "paper editing" for documentaries. Cerf will also share his technique for auto-subtitling documentary footage in foreign languages, making it possible to edit footage in a foreign language.
