Changing Editors

Behind-the-Scenes Changes

Welcome back, everyone! Today, we encountered yet another shift in roles. This time, it was off-screen...

Previously, Edison was the main editor, possessing the in-progress file and handling most of the responsibilities with editing. However, due to scheduling conflicts and a division of responsibilities, it Rayyan decided to take on the role of Main Editor, replacing Edison. It was nothing personal. Edison was a great editor with creative ideas, but he began struggling to find time to edit. Rayyan, having stepped down as movie director with me replacing him, seemed to have much more time on his plate to work. So, it worked out quite well.

The rest of us still pitched in. Since this was my movie idea, I was indirectly obligated to be active in the entirety of the editing process, providing advice as Rayyan edits, and reiterating my vision for the movie. This was very handy as Rayyan did start moving off track sometimes due to personal creativity or just a confusion of my true visionary. With me on hand, we quickly cleared things up. As for Edison and Eugene, they were primarily just there to give insight into their own opinions, often making suggestions about clip length, transition choices, and sound layering. Overall, we had a smooth interaction and we hope to conclude the editing process within the next few days.
