The book is an eye-opener for any editor. A perspective on life itself. Why do you cut? When do you cut? Walter Murch gave me the philosophical strength to stand at the edge of reality and manipulate space-time to create whole new worlds.

I should really stop doing unscripted documentaries, because I'm slowly losing my mind.

The Hard-part in editing isnt: - Animating a Graphic - Or Complex VFX The Hard-part is getting the… - Pace on point - Flow smooth asf (That 20% gets 80% of results)

Editing is like great writing Or musical composition, Displace one note, one phrase, A space between the elements, And the structure falls; The emotional impact For the audience Is gone. #EDITING

Editing has always been a natural process. Sure, issues would always come up, but given enough time it could be solved. That is, until I was handed terabytes of unscripted raw footage and asked to create a compelling story with it. It's a transformative and painful experience.

I used to walk under 4,000 steps per day—and I was miserable. Why? Because I thought everything had to be done at my desk. Now I take 20,000 steps a day—and it's the *single* best thing I've done for my health & creativity. Here are 4 common "desk" activities I do on walks…

Hayao Miyazaki & Akira Kurosawa discuss the importance of storyboards in filmmaking.

Something I learned from my cats - Pay attention to movement and sound! Movement evokes sense, a certain kind of feeling. A Video Editor MUST rigorously inspect this sense and comprehend its place in their world.

What happens if you don't achieve your goals? Nothing. It doesn't matter to anybody else. The Universe goes on as it always have. But, someone gets where you were supposed to, probably someone younger.

"Editing will make or break a film." --- Akira Kurosawa

I tried an AI image generator to make something I could use as cover photo. After a few iterations, I think I'll stick with my own average photoshop skills. However, this might be helpful for other purposes. What do you think?

I have lost my motivation. I know I have to keep going. ''You only lose when you stop.'' But, something about money twitter is soul crushing. It's not actual interaction, It's just people trying to feed the algorithm what it wants. Is this another Hamster wheel?

All to craft the perfect edit… #videoediting #filmmaking

Let go of your past mistakes Let go of your pre-conceived notion of life Let go of your self-destructive behaviours Markov said, If the present state of a process is known, the future is independent of the past. Analyze your present self, and take necessary actions to improve.

My fellow editors, a lot of us fall in love with the medium first. I wonder what makes someone choose editing over cinematography or writing. What made you choose video editing over other aspects of filmmaking? Don't tell me it's the money. There's money in other things too.

Your work is the function that transforms your time and energy into real value. Your work is the container that preserves the choices you made. Your work is an event in the consciousness of our species that only occurred because of YOU.
