This helped in the smooth flow of the end result by allowing him to move freely.Richman pointed out: I can work on my laptop and I can work on my iMac, and I can work at the post facility or I can work at Bens office, and as long as Im logged into my account, everything I do shows up everywhere.At one point he even showed up where Ben Stiller was staying and plugged his MacBook right into the TV so they could play with the edit there and then.Music and the score were also worked on at the same time as filming, meaning composer Shapiro would send music over and Richman would listen on his iPhone and AirPods Pro 2 wherever he was.The marching band footage organization took over a week with all the angles to pick from, with the potential for hundreds of ways to cut the scene.Those were definitely scenes where I was jotting down notes on my iPhone and then to get a different perspective Id work on my MacBook Pro, sketching ideas while sitting on my couch or in bed, before bringing those thoughts back to my iMac, Richman said.Editors Recommendations
