Soon after graduation, he interned with Detroit-based film sub-distributor, Bob Mason of Mason Releasing. Murawski then moved to Hollywood, where he worked as an assistant editor on several films, including
Raimi's comic-book-inspired picture Darkman.[1]
Film editing
Murawski has largely worked as a film editor, primarily for director/producer
Sam Raimi, on films including Army of Darkness, The Gift, Drag Me to Hell and the Spider-Man series of films. He also co-edited the Academy Award winning film, The Hurt Locker with editor Chris Innis.[1] Raimi has said of working with Murawski
He’d come (down to the set) to see how things were going and to let me know if he’d just cut something that wasn’t working the way he’d wanted it to, or to suggest a pick-up shot I should get for a piece he felt we needed in a sequence I hadn’t realized I needed. He’s very detail-oriented... So we’re very close collaborators.
Raimi finds editing with Murawski to be "relaxing", adding
I love it... I can watch the film come together, so it’s a time of discovery for me as Bob and I fit all the pieces together.[3]
Murawski is married to film editor
Christina "Chris" Innis. The two editors met while working together on the Universal/CBS television series American Gothic and married in 2008.[8] The pair has worked together on the Academy Award winning film The Hurt Locker, and on several
Sam Raimi productions such as The Gift, and Spider-Man, as well as collaborating on Grindhouse Releasing/Box Office Spectaculars releases.[1]
