How To Become A (Wanted) Film Editor

submitted by AudienceMagnet on 06/19/16 1

What does it take to master the art of film editing? How to start cutting and how to end up getting paid. I share seven recommendations that may just turn you into a storyteller in demand. Quotes: "Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.” - Malcolm Gladwell: problogservice.com/2012/03/15/what-malcolm-gladwell-really-said-about-the-10000-hour-rule/ "Showing up is 80 percent of life." - Woody Allen: quoteinvestigator.com/2013/06/10/showing-up/ "Real artists ship." - Steve Jobs: en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken "Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure." - George Edward Woodberry: www.calebwojcik.com/blog/2012/01/30/quotes-overcome-fear-of-failure ---------------- 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 ------------- Today's ONE SINGLE CUT comes from T. CILLA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=70HXzIFLdYQ&feature=youtu.be I WANT YOU: "One Single Cut": Upload a max. 10 sec. clip to your channel. This clip has two shots and a single cut in it. Leave a comment here so I know. I will pick a couple to feature in future episodes. --------------- 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. ★- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ★ Want More THIS GUY EDITS? ☆Connect With Me On My:☆ ➜ CHANNEL- www.youtube.com/user/svenpape ➜ INSTAGRAM- instagram.com/thisguyedits# ➜ TWITTER- twitter.com/thisguyedits ➜ FACEBOOK GROUP- www.facebook.com/groups/512738898932998/ ★- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ★ All Rights Reserved © Copyright 2016 This Guy Edits™ For example TGE puts Walter Murch’s theory of “The Blink of an Eye” to the test.
