The Art of Editing

Movies are made in post! Ok, maybe not entirely but ou konn panse ou fe yon fim epi le li edite, li se yon fim diferan. Surprise! That's why your editor (both picture and sound) is the most important person on your crew. And if you edit your own projects, bravo! Though personally, I prefer having someone else edit because sometimes an editor will see things that I had not thought of. Things that I shot for the movie as a director but fail to see as an editor. I love the documentary titled: 'The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing". Wendy Apple directs and Kathy Bates narrates this doc style project that illustrates perfectly the role and importance of an editor in the filmmaking process. A great editor who understands storytelling, pacing, cadence etc can make or break your film. If you are a filmmaker or a content creator of any sort, this is a MUST WATCH.
