Build Paper Edits the right way... The producer/client wants to do the editorial heavy lifting by bolting together a paper edit - a document of "this bit, then that bit..." referencing timecodes from proxy files or highlighting transcripts in a google doc and liberally sprinkling comments.

Reviews like this are a huge relief after working for so long before launching: Your Adding Audio Polish training series was absolutely terrific! You really nailed something that needed to be done- creating a concise, repeatable system- for producer/editor workflows like mine.

What does it tell you that the biggest trailer of the year - by a whopping 28.7M views - is a stop motion animated feature (in development for 15 years and active production for 5) from LAIKA Studios...

Just shy of two years ago, I set out to create an email-based training course delivering in-depth insights focused on a single post-production topic. Many Cut/daily readers voted for your most challenging area, with handling audio quickly emerging as the most popular concern.

Did you know that the editor of Dune, Arrival, Sicario and Blade Runner 2049 likes to watch Dance Moms? "In the evening, I’ll take a break, go upstairs and watch half an episode of Dance Moms, then come back and carry on for an hour or two. I love what I do, but it takes time." – Joe Walker
