The HBO Special Event, which was directed by Oscar and Emmy winner Spike Lee, presents the Talking Heads frontman\u2019s classic songs with an ensemble of 11 musicians, singers and dancers gathered from around the globe, inviting audiences into a joyous dreamscape in search of human connection and social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"David Byrne&#039;s American Utopia (2020): Official Trailer | HBO\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lg4hcgtjDPc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shot on a bare stage with a fully mobile band, <em>David Byrne\u2019s American Utopia<\/em> was brought to the screen by a veritable army of crew members that included cinematographer Ellen Kuras and 11 additional camera operators. The special was edited by Adam Gough, ACE, who got his start as an editorial trainee on Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n\u2019s <em>Children of Men<\/em>, and later received a BAFTA nomination for his work cutting <em>Roma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring the shoot, I sat at the video monitors with Spike, Ellen Kuras, and [choreographer] Annie-B Parson, and took copious notes, as if I was watching dailies,\u201d Gough details in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/cinemontage.org\/adam-gough-found-the-right-moves-in-spike-lees-american-utopia-with-david-byrne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rob Feld<\/a> for <em>Cinemontage<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cIt was shot over three performances, two with full audiences and one with a smaller invited audience, where a Steadicam and crane were used. The bike ride sequence was shot on a different day with 23 different cameras, mainly GoPro with some iPhone and 8mm footage, as well. That gave us about 15 hours of footage that I cut down into a 3-minute title sequence. Once all the footage was ingested into the Avid, Annie-B visited me in the cutting room to talk me though the choreography and point out any stumbles in the show I should avoid. Annie-B was fantastic and always had time for my questions. Ellen was the same and we would talk frequently during post. We were a very collaborative team. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201c<strong>Mae Sussman, the associate editor, did an incredible job organizing this media as it was all mixed codec, sizes, and frame rates. She kept the film moving when the COVID-19 lockdown hit during post-production, and kept our response time incredibly sort when making updates. We also made changes to the ending of \u2018Hell You,\u2019 following the death of George Floyd, to respond to what was happening. Spike has always been a very current filmmaker, making changes up to and past the last second, so working remotely in lockdown wasn\u2019t going to be any different. And rightly so.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2014 ADAM GOUGH, ACE<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gough also discusses his approach for editing musical sequences, his early career, and what it was like to work with Cuar\u00f3n.
