They Joys of Editing



So after two days of procrastination (that actually involved something relatively useful) I have finally begun the edit of 'Jay and Kay Save the World'. Now, I will go into the process of editing later on, but suffice to say, whatever destruction that I as a director have wrought on set, I get to fix the carnage in the editing suite.

Many directors believe in the craft of film making. I on the other hand depend on the deviousness of editing. Unlike a stage play, there is only one ultimate angle that I have to think about – that of the audience. So all those bad takes can be safely ignored, as long as I have already captured that one angle.

And that is where my problems begin! But, that story is for another day...
