Baby Driver was cut almost entirely on set using a MacBook Pro
“Roadside editing, you know, this is anywhere, anytime basically,†revealed Machliss in an interview with The Beat. “This was for a climactic chase sequence, and you could literally wheel it out of the main truck and be ready for Edgar in minutes.â€
He went on to call Baby Driver “the hardest job†he’s ever worked on.
Much of the challenge came from director Edgar Wright’s insistence not to use audio cues. Instead, he relied on the actors to fall into the beat of the music naturally.
The computer in question was a pre-2016 MacBook Pro with Retina display, which means no Touch Bar. It featured a full array of ports including USB-A, HDMi, Thunderbolt 2 and an SD Card slot. The specifications of the computer weren’t revealed, but we imagine it was a fully specced out version.
The shoot ended up taking its toll on the gear. In the gallery above, you can see the dire state of the keyboard Machliss was using.
Baby Driver is in theaters now.
