Editing is a natural extension of the collage making. It's actually one of the few areas that women were able to excel in in the film industry from the beginning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Editing is where movies are made or broken. Many a film has been saved and many a film has been ruined in the editing room.
I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does.
This applies to many film jobs, not just editing: half the job is doing the job, and the other half is finding ways to get along with people and tuning yourself in to the delicacy of the situation.
I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.
Movies are an editor's medium.
Same thing with film, by the time you've finished shooting and you've really been into everything, you've touched up everything in the editing room. You've gone in there and taken little bits from everything.
Editing is the only process. The shooting is the pleasant work. The editing makes the movie, so I spend all my life in editing.
It's like you take these great actors and put them in an aquarium of life and just watch them swim. That's what makes editing tough because you get all these beautiful, unplanned moments.
Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.
