Until I started doing sketches, I never realized how instrumental editing was to the overall end product of a film/video project. The editor has just as much say in what story is told as the director and writer.
Luckily for the short film, we were able to capture a number of great scenes and images. And while that makes my job a little harder in terms of having to cut out incredible shots, it’s definitely preferable tot he alternative or not having enough shots.
I don’t want to share the film until it’s completely finished wtih music and everything, but I was able to complete the first cut to have others review. I now have some great feedback to consider when going back through for the second time.
