Richard Chew is one of those editors who, like his contemporary Walter
Murch, has a fundamental understanding of the synthesis of sound and vision. Be
it working on films such as The Conversation or Stars Wars (for which he won an
Academy Award), films were sound design plays such a key part, or on more
conversation-based character pieces like One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest or
Risky Business, which sees him ply his craft to retain the essence of natural
dialogue(s), Chew always plays it right down the line. He knows what to do and
is malleable enough to adapt his process, depending on what the project is, and
that to me is the mark of a good editor.
