I edited at Vice on VNT, Showtime, and Hulu. There was a lot of secret sauce, but a big part of it was the culture around post.

Editors were rockstars in that Williamsburg office. The HBO team didn't let producers papercut anything.

It was all found in the edit. Haven't had a job since that honored the craft like that.

@robcgiani don't sleep on me baby

[Cam @docdropout]

Our editor is in a great mood today and has executed all the studio notes.

Send in the former reality tv producer who took one Avid class and now thinks they can cut.

He’s presenting the final design. Add seven brand new stakeholders he’s never met

@Joshua_Ariza felt this in my soul.

@Chen jun cha prints? fire.

[Cam @docdropout]

Update: sadly here to report they did none of this. It's a pod shot in a bar which is fine! But why is the final tab in the intro logo lockup? Isn't how much the guest drank part of the fun and should live as a button to the show format?

[Cam @docdropout]

Cheeky Pint comparisons aside, as an editor I can already visualize the format of this show -> cold open supercut, logo lockup, walk onto set, bartender gag, awkward OTS angles, forced verite pool game. Extra credit if they close on the bar tab total like Sneaker Shopping too.

Inject the Tom Emmerson vs Romain Gavras creative beef into my veins baby.

Introducing Open Tab: a new interview series where independent media founders tell us how they did it.

Most of what we hear from media insiders is a story of decline. But a new class of independent media founders is creating powerful businesses around their own work.

Michael Kahn is the film editing GOAT. He's Spielberg's guy and cut the Omaha Beach sequence in Saving Private Ryan. There is nobody better.

I watch this interview a few times a year when I get burnt out. No one has distilled the editor's psyche better than this.

[Cam @docdropout]

This is the best take. Post is a dark art and great editors are all basket cases.

Video editors will always be the bane of my existence

@samuel_spitz interestingly, because of this it becomes a moat to have an agency made high quality video

@ben_aguilera Let's pop a zyn and get ocd baby. DM me if you need any tips.

More free game. Peep those track labels? They carry with aafs into tools. This is how you get re-recording mixers to buy you drinks at the bar when the project wraps.

[Juliana @juliazniv]

we filmed a documentary for @bySyncere in two days

here's how we did it

[Cam @docdropout]

I don't think HR is remotely capable at sourcing the right person. They will hire some armchair quarterback from the video department of another tech company or a CD from an agency. Neither can execute craft without hiring out.

[EMILY SUNDBERG @Emily_Sundberg]

Between Anthropic hiring a video director for $250k, and WSJ announcing that their video team is now 65 people, I think it's a really good time for young people to learn how to shoot and edit video.

Tech companies and legacy media companies are investing in GOOD video teams
