In film or TV work, you can have this amazingly dramatic pause, and they'll just edit it out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
The thing with TV and filming is the timing is all faked anyway. You do it so many times, from so many different angles. You never really do it all in one go anyway, so they just fix it all in the edit.
There's a constant dialogue going back and forth between the filmmakers and the producers.
That's what's so great about television. You're able to tell this long story, where you couldn't really do that in a film because you have to tell a story in an hour and a half or two hours.
What I don't have in theater is editing.
That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.
You act in a movie, and at the end of the day, the director and editor decide what your performance is.
Often in television, you read a script and you're amazed that you get the scene given to you.
Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.
