The Editor
|

Years ago there was a very funny article in the National Lampoon entitled How To Write Good which was obviously a parody on writing course. As an editing teacher myself, as well as an editor, I'm very nervous about courses which teach you how to ''edit good.'' In too many of these classes what they're really referring to is ''How To Use The NLE Good'' and how to use great tips and techniques and shortcuts in order to do cooler stuff in less time.
Now, I'm not against this at all. I'm a regular consumer of some really great tips and techniques podcasts from places like VAAST, the Pro Video Coalition, Dave Forsyth at Amber Post, Larry Jordan, Diana Weynand and more. So. I'm not against that.
But that's such a small part of editing, in my mind. What I've been speaking about for years, and what my upcoming book is about, is what I like to call ''Thinking Like An Editor.'' Now, you’re not going to be able to avoid me talking about this as the pub date for my book gets closer. But, for now, let me just say that the focus of the book is how to look at storytelling in all forms of filmmaking — narrative, dox, television, commercials, long and short films, high and low budgets, etc. etc.
