Behind The Scenes With The Beatles: Get Back

Remote Control 4: Featuring the World's Greatest Filmmakers At Work

After months of re-imagining, rebuilding and troubleshooting, new concepts around remote production and collaboration have taken shape. We’ve asked several industry leaders to give you their insights and lessons learned, in short and sweet presentations.

Thank you to our sponsors Dell, NVIDIA, Meetmo.io, Post Magazine, Computer Graphics World and the NAB Show.

This episode of Remote Control features Jabez Olssen, the editor from the award-winning docu-series The Beatles: Get Back, directed by Oscar winner Peter Jackson. We’ll hear how Olssen worked with Jackson to create this Emmy nominated documentary from 60 hours of original footage shot by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969. We’ll also share rare footage from the documentary of the iconic final live performance by the Beatles from the rooftop of Apple Corps headquarters at Savile Row in London.
