How Louis CK shoots and edits his own show
Louis CK’s new show “Louie” on FX has received rave reviews for both its humor its raw, personal uncomfortableness blended seamlessly into one another. And part of that close personal touch has to do with the fact that Louis CK not only acts in the show and writes it, but he also directs and edits it himself.
And his editing device of choice? After the show is shot on a handheld RED digital video camera, he edits the entire show on his 13" MacBook. If you’ve ever seen the show, it’s honestly the only way I could imagine it happening– Louis pours his heart out and then spends hours in a dark room, hunched over his laptop putting it all together.
You can listen to him talk about his editing process here or watch a video of the same section of the podcast, only in video form here on Gizmodo.
