Adobe Creative Suite 5 used to edit Oscar contender: The Social Network

• Top Hollywood team brings Oscar contender The Social Network to the big screen using an integrated workflow based on Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium software
• Adobe CS5 Available from Adobe distributor Dax Data
In The Social Network, director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin explore the moment at which Facebook, the most revolutionary social phenomenon of the new century, was invented — through the warring perspectives of the super-smart young men who each claimed to be there at its inception. The result is a drama rife with both creation and destruction; one that purposefully avoids a singular point of view, but instead, by tracking duelling narratives, mirrors the clashing truths and ever changing social relationships that define our time.
Technically, The Social Network team has adopted a cutting-edge approach that breaks new ground in the filmmaking arena. After shooting footage on the RED MX Digital Cinema camera, they used a full complement of integrated tools in Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium software to create the award winning film.
“With Adobe we can take bigger risks and have more ‘at bats’”, says David Fincher, director of The Social Network. “We need to be able to iterate quickly to create movies that are more avant-garde and we are seeing that Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium has the potential to take us there.”
Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium software offers unprecedented power to produce engaging media for virtually any screen. Breakthrough native 64-bit performance, GPU acceleration, and native editing of tapeless formats accelerate workflows from scriptwriting through post-production. These features allow users to work faster and collaborate more efficiently when crafting great stories.
“Adobe CS5 is quickly becoming the standard in post production and it’s exciting to see big projects like Social Network use it with such great success”, says Jeremy Matthews, MD of Dax Data.
