“To all of my colleagues’ heartbreak, Norman died unexpectedly last weekend while lecturing in Japan. The void he leaves is devastating. But the legacy he offers is extraordinary.”
I never had the pleasure of meeting him, yet I was familiar with him and his works, most notably his book, The Lean Forward Moment: Telling Better Stories for Film, TV, and the Web and his lynda online course, The Art of Editing.
I was hoping to cross paths with him one day alas, he’s gone too soon.
