Editor Charges Across
America
|
Guild member editor Kris Trexler
drove a GM EV1 electric car on a 3,000 mile cross country
trip, starting out from L.A. on May 13th. He wanted to show
America and the world that long trips in electric cars are
not only possible, but fun. Kris took a Mac PowerBook laptop
computer along and a QuickTake digital camera courtesy of
Apple Computer, so photos and diary updates could be added
to his website from the road. Many sources of 220 volt
electrical power were arranged before the trip to keep
Kris's EV1 charged up.
Kris was one of the first people to
lease an EV1 when it was introduced in Los Angeles on
December 5, 1996. He had logged over 13,000 miles in his car
as of this April and says without reservation that it has
been the most reliable vehicle he's ever owned.
Watch for more on his trip, and a
photo, in the next Newsletter.

Teach Editing In North
Carolina
|
Over 200 students and 70,000 square feet
of facilities await an editor interested in join the faculty
of a part of the University of North Carolina. Send a letter
of interest, résumé and three professional
references to: Office of the Dean, School of Filmmaking,
North Carolina School of the Arts, P.O. Box 12189,

Don't get conned by a phone call from anyone claiming to be
a telephone service technician conducting a test on your
phone lines. He will say that to complete the test you
should touch nine (9), zero (0), the pound sign (#) and then
hang up. By pushing 90# you give the requesting individual
full access to your telephone line, allowing them to place
long distance phone calls billed to your number. This
scam has been originating from many of the local jails. Do
not press 90# for anyone.
Proving, once again, that Guild editors
are the best in the world - British Academy awards went to
Peter Honess for editing 'L.A.
Confidential' and, for best
sound, to John
Leveque, supervising sound
editor on 'L.A.
Confidential'.
