Tent discussed some of his thoughts behind the editing of the film. This let me get some editing in during the two days on the train, but it’s awfully hard to concentrate on editing when you are going through some of the most gorgeous countryside in the US!” Our two families had booked rooms in sleeper cars, which were large enough to spread out the laptop and the drives. It was an old-style Hollywood romantic notion, where a writer would board the train in New York and when they arrived in Los Angeles, the movie script was done. “Alexander had this great idea to take the train across the US on the return home. “We’re laying claim to being the first film cut on an Amtrak train,” Tent joked. The two were able to continue cutting using a laptop and the FireWire drives both in Italy and subsequently on a cross-country train ride from New York back to Los Angeles. The FireWire drives came in handy later, because Clooney invited Payne and Tent to go to his villa in Italy for a couple of weeks. Dailies were delivered by Fotokem on HDCAM-SR tape for Fox Searchlight, as well as Avid DNxHD36 media on FireWire drives to be ingested into the Unity system. ![]() Kevin Tent and first assistant editor Mindy Elliott cut on Avid Media Composers (version 4.0.5) connected to Unity shared storage. The first official audience preview was in late October and we finished the film by late February 2011.” We had our first cut for the studio in late September. When he got back to Los Angeles in June, we started working away. I would assemble scenes and send them back to Alexander to watch over the weekends. This would depend on the crew’s cut-off time to get the negative on a plane and then to the lab. Tent described the post production schedule, “We’d sometimes get only a half day’s worth of dailies and other times a day-and-a-half. Payne would give Tent a daily call to get the rundown on how everything looked and sounded. Since the dailies that the production crew would view had to travel back to Hawaii and Hawaii is three hours behind Los Angeles, editorial got to see dailies before production. Alexander Payne is one of the few directors who has the right of final cut on his films and Kevin Tent ( The Golden Compass, Sideways, About Schmidt, Blow) has been the editor on all of Payne’s films. The production was on 35mm film, with Fotokem handling dailies and a digital intermediate finish at Modern VideoFilm. The Descendants was shot in about fifty days on location in Hawaii with the cutting being done in Hollywood (during principal photography) and later in Santa Monica (during post production). The film’s title stems from this part of the story. The King family are descendants, distant relatives of native Hawaiians and non-native immigrants who settled the islands generations ago. Payne has interwoven an additional storyline dealing with King’s extended family and their plans to sell a huge piece of unspoiled land to a large developer. She is in a coma as the result of a terrible boating accident. The Descendants continues this trend with Matt King (George Clooney), a Hawaiian lawyer and disengaged father who struggles with the realization that he will have to remove his wife from life support. Movies like Sideways and About Schmidt are about discovery of self and audiences relate to the humor of awkward situations that echo familiar events in our own lives.
