This Guy Edits | Scene Selection in Film Editing @ThisGuyEdits | Uploaded April 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this episode I take a first look a new scene and start with the selecting process. For me 90% of editing is selecting: The actual process of evaluating the footage in terms of emotion, performance and story.
I build select reels with different video layers to visually indicate which moments I consider to be "gold", "good" or "it just happened". This way, as I start cutting a scene, I can quickly see where the strong points are in the footage.
THIS GUY EDITS (TGE) is a youtube channel by film editor Sven Pape, an A.C.E. award nominee, whose credits include work for directors James Cameron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and James Franco.
TGE is not about how to run a piece of software, but rather how to tell stories creatively.
Sven cuts his latest film for Sundance filmmaker Mark Webber. “Flesh & Blood” is their third collaboration.
Film Editing Book Recommendation - "In the Blink of an Eye" by Walter Murch: amzn.to/20ujg6B
Several times a week TGE will post update videos. You get to see the timeline and the editor's play-by-play-commentary as he cuts scenes. It shows work in progress.
