Editing is about communicating SO much more than what is said in dialogue. Subtext is the emotional undercurrent. Tim Murrell and Cheryl Potter discuss editing "Young Sherlock." Read/listen to full interview READ: bit.ly/AOTC-YSherlock-blog LISTEN: bit.ly/AOTC-YSherlock-pod @boris_fx @editchez

Look at the kindness and grace coming from director Paul Feig calmly explaining the filmmaking process to a bozo who cynically spread disinformation about Paul’s movie, then the bozo doubled down on his false claims after Paul personally corrected him. I wish I had this kind of patience.
My friend, it’s called post production, which generally takes over half a year at least when you factor in editing, scoring, special effects, sound mixing, close captioning and all the technical quality control that has to be done. Our post schedule always had us finishing everything by mid-January. Movies don’t come out the second they’re finished because the studio spends the previous year deciding the best date to release it. We’ve always planned on something in the spring/summer of this year. That’s how movies work. I hope this helps.

When looking for a specific reaction from a character I often find myself making that same expression. So it is not uncommon to find me sifting through footage with a huge smile or scowl on my face. Must look funny from the outside. #editing

So much writing advice can be applied to editing. You can spend loads of time fussing over how to start a scene, or you can go with your first choices and get a full scene done in the same amount of time, then go back and refine it. Imperfect but done is still done!#postchat #postsky
