CUT/DAILY #378 – Lose Those Documentary Crutches
Cut/Daily #378 is another interesting post, this on documentary editing.
I don’t quite agree on the interview always bring the most compelling, but that could be my bias from cutting so much behind the scenes documentaries, where the b-roll and photos can be the most compelling.
The music thing is very true though.
Jonny Elwyn Inside the Edit – Pro Editor Course Review
Jonny Elwyn reviews Inside the Edit. Here is the web site for the Course which costs almost $20,000, but sounds like a pretty impressive course overall, though it is live from the UK, so timeings would be hard from the US.

Personally I question film school, it was fun, but film school needs direct training for things like Assistant Editing and also job placement, so a much more direct course might be the answer.

From Master the Workflow.
A 45 minute interview, and I love to see features done in Premiere vs AVID Media Composer.
And her whole history in editing is fantastic to learn about. And cutting on a flatbed (which I haven’t done, only a moviola).
I have watched Peter Pan & Wendy as well, which was OK, but I felt it fell apart more in casting and scripting, because I got no joy from the young Peter Pan and Jude Law is no Jason Isaacs.

Larry Jordan For Video Editing Storage – How Fast is Fast Enough?
I do wish I had an SSD hard drive for speed, but I do fine with my RAID 5 Thunderbay with spinning hard drives. It is big enough and has been mostly fast enough, though 6K does push it.
