This June, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Editfest NY. It was my first time visiting New York City (spoiler alert: holy freaking crap it’s everything I ever wanted), and I even won a free ticket from the generous Manhattan Edit Workshop through #postchat. It was a fantastic weekend filled with NAB-reunions […]
Nightmare is probably too strong a word. More like a mediocre dream where you spend the whole thing waking up and getting ready for school, then actually wake up and have to do it all over again. I recently edited part of a behind the scenes feature for Leah Not Leia, a film I PA’d […]
I was included in the @splice_vine tweet top 13 for January, the funniest post-production tweets from December. My winning nugget of amazement came from December’s #postchat about personal failures in post, of course. Why would it be in anything else? @kyl33t Realized halfway thru compression process, had to cancel and start over, compressed in car […]
Those of you that read these blog entries, however you find them, may not be all that familiar with my background or experience. To sum it up in a sentence, I’ve been editing since I was a teenager, went to college and earned a degree in video production, and have been working professionally for almost […]
Poor Sarah, we keep killing her or making her look horrible in every short we use her in.
We’re currently in post on our horror short He Who Watches, finishing post on Love Dance, and doing an edit on BTS Leah Not Leia footage. I was also recently asked to edit another local horror short, and actually had to turn it down with impending freelance work on the horizon to balance on top […]
I was quoted in Premium Beat’s blog “Twitter Wisdom for Editors”: http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/wisdom-for-editors-from-leading-post-production-professionals/ Hope they don’t find out I’m not exactly a “leading editor”….not yet anyway 🙂 Close enough!
11 Things that make you edit more efficiently (and therefore more professionally) that most new users don’t know (because it isn’t that intuitive and they don’t read the manual.) Here’s another installment in my on-going blog series about Things I Didn’t Learn in School, which is basically a series where I half-complain about the lack […]
I’ve been working on a project with a quick turnaround time for the last week. It was shot last Wednesday and Thursday, and will be presented next Tuesday. It’s essentially a training video with a 20 minute runtime. It’s very straightforward, but it’s still got challenges. It’s probably 97% chroma key footage mixed with a […]
I made a video for work that has by our standards, kind of gone “viral”. It’s difficult to make a video go viral in our industry just because of the nature of what we do – unless a truck is ridiculously tricked out, or a semi is crashing, people don’t really spread it too much. […]
