Other than camera, few departments have undergone a more dramatic technological upheaval than postproduction. Or as L.A.-based Local 700 member Julie Rogers (<em>Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, Kit Kittredge<\/em>) points out, \u201cThe splicer has gone the way of the buggy whip,\u201d replaced by computers, monitors and sophisticated, albeit at times mysterious, software that has engulfed the editor\u2019s room. New tech to be sure, but has the actual craft and role of editorial also changed?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Randy Morgan, ACE, who\u2019s won two Emmy Awards for <em>ER<\/em>, and also counts the episodic shows <em>Crash<\/em> and <em>Law and Order<\/em> among his credits, says no other sector seems to have so many \u201cnotions about an individual\u2019s role in the production of a motion picture as editing.\u201d But Andrew Weisblum, ACE, whose recent credits include <em>Black Swan <\/em>and<em> The Wrestler<\/em>, supports the age-old notion that editing is mostly rewriting, just with a lot less time to get the job done. Or as Oscar-nominee Lisa Churgin, ACE, describes: \u201cWe find all the good bits and ignore the bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/Julie-Rogers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julie Rogers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>No doubt that while the set is the center of the universe during production, \u201cthe editing room is its center in post-production,\u201d as Bill Pankow, ACE (<em>Bonfire of the Vanities, Letters to Juliet, Trespass<\/em>), correctly observes. But that center is no longer an island. These days, editors can be found on-set, as Stephen E. Rivkin, ACE and John Refoua, ACE were for the ultra-advanced digital workflow of <em>Avatar<\/em>. The pair used performance capture reference material to match computer-generated elements in editing. On <em>Cats &amp; Dogs II<\/em>, Rogers reports being in contact with director Brad Peyton via a direct feed to the stage three floors away from her cutting room. \u201cI could see what was happening on the main and second unit sets,\u201d Rogers says, \u201cand be in communication with cinematographer Steven Poster, ASC, to understand how he was lighting the sets and placing the cameras.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, editors are in a unique position to, as Weisblum notes, \u201coffer objectivity\u201d to a project that no one from the set can. For example, he says it was clear during the assembly process for <em>The Wrestler<\/em>, that one significant and complicated scene would be better left out because it was getting in the way of sympathy for the main character and not contributing any other information to the story. \u201cNo one else on the film could see it at that point,\u2019 Weisblum explains, \u201cbecause they were preoccupied with working out the details of its execution. I have a unique point-of-view in that my job has nothing to do with the logistics of a set.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Editors also must account for a project\u2019s end platform. \u201cCutting dialog is much the same for television as for a movie, but with <em>Dirty Dancing<\/em> we needed [a way] to show the process that Baby went through to learn to dance, that didn\u2019t take up too much time and pushed the movie forward,\u201d says Peter C. Frank, ACE \u201cMy current show [<em>Blue Bloods<\/em>],<em> <\/em>on the other hand<em>,<\/em> is more concerned with moving the procedural forward and developing the character\u2019s stories within the family, all at the rapid pace required for contemporary television.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/Peter-Frank.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter Frank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Often the creative instincts of the editorial team come into play. Churgin cites an example from the recent rom-com, <em>The Ugly Truth<\/em>, where the film\u2019s star, Katherine Heigl, returns from a very bad blind date. \u201cAt the end of the evening, her skirt got caught in a car door as she was standing near it,\u201d Churgin recounts. \u201cWhen the man took off in the car, her skirt was pulled off, and she was left standing in her underwear, in front of a group of people. We later took <em>that<\/em> scene out. But we needed her to come back home from the date. So, through movie magic, her skirt was painted back on as she was standing alone in her apartment. My contribution was recommending that we take the [curb] scene out because it worked against the story. Our main character got too desperate too early in the film and we needed her to be more likeable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sometimes an editor\u2019s best efforts are mostly spent making the difficult look simple.<\/strong> \u201cOn <em>Training Day<\/em>, there were a few scenes between Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke that were editorial challenges,\u201d describes Conrad Buff, ACE, who won an Oscar for <em>Titanic<\/em>. \u201cThey were riding through the streets of Los Angeles, two guys in a car talking. Many days. Many takes. There was an overwhelming amount of footage, with plenty of performance variants and wonderful ad-libs, especially by Denzel. And it was all exacerbated by the ebb and flow of the actors\u2019 energy as the day progressed on, [with] a camera tow rig and the director communicating from another vehicle. Maintaining balance, dramatic energy and pace, visual continuity and harnessing actors\u2019 experiments were all left in my hands. So many options in apparently simple scenes became much more difficult than any action sequence I\u2019ve ever done!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/Conrad-Buff.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"489\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Conrad Buff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Morgan describes how communication and partnership among editors leads to superior results. \u201cOn the series <em>Fear Itself<\/em>, I had an episode involving a man with a dual personality, where the alter-ego was pure evil,\u201d he recalls. \u201cToward the end of the episode, he\u2019s lying on his bed as his world caves in around him. And when his loving wife comes to confront him, he eventually leaps up and brutally murders her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the idea of creating a montage in picture and sound while our character is lying on the bed, flashing back on all the horrors that have brought him to this point,\u201d Morgan continues. \u201cOne of the other talented editors on the series, Lynne Willingham, came to offer help with my tight schedule. I told her my idea and she said she would take a whack at it. A short time later, she returned with an amazing impressionistic montage of clips and snips of picture and sound that created a vivid view into our character\u2019s tormented mind. The idea was mine but Lynne had carried it to lengths I would never have accomplished. That\u2019s just one example of how editors working together can feed off each other to help the story along.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/Randy-Morgan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Randy Morgan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nowhere does the credo \u201ccommunication within departments\u201d count more than in postproduction. And it begins with the underestimated, but all-important, relationship with the cinematographer. For <em>Washington Square<\/em>, David Siegel, ACE (<em>Leverage, Mad Men, Rome, Law and Order<\/em>) worked closely with both director Agnieszka Holland and Jerzy Zielenski, ASC.<\/p>\n<p>Siegel explains \u201cthe opening scene started on the clouds and in one camera move, traveled through the trees, into a brownstone, up a flight of stairs and ended up on a woman during childbirth. I worked with [Holland and Zielenski] on-set to create the series of shots, camera speeds and angles, and green screens needed to make four shots appear as one. I always welcome my collaboration with the DP and meet as early as possible to discuss the look of a project. Communication is the best way a DP and editor can help each other, especially because the digital workflow impacts how we post.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/Andrew-Weisblum.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrew Weisblum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Weisblum seconds that approach, adding that, \u201cbecause we had no storyboards on <em>Black Swan<\/em>, I found myself on set quite a few times. I worked closely with Matty Libatique [ASC] and Darren Aronofsky to discuss possible additional shots so that we had options on a sequence. It always helps to be in sync with [production] so we can build on each other\u2019s ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pankow, too, feels the director\/editor\/cinematographer triumvirate is key to a project\u2019s success. \u201cI\u2019ve had the good fortune to work on films shot by such accomplished cinematographers as Stephen Burum [ASC] and Vilmos Zsigmond [ASC],\u201d he says. \u201cThe cinematographer\u2019s attention to detail and coverage, as well as to scene transitions, has helped me immeasurably. The more choices we are offered in the editing room, the more layered and nuanced the director\u2019s vision can be.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/Bill-Pankow.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"507\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bill Pankow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Live action gets most of the attention<\/strong> when it comes to deft and artful editing, even though, as Dreamworks\u2019 Animation James Ryan points out, \u201canimation editors are charged with the same tasks \u2013 determining the pacing from shot to shot, scene to scene, and picking the best performances. How we get to the end result is where the differences lie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or as Rich Dietl, also with Dreamworks, adds \u201cAnimation editing starts at the beginning and never stops until the film is done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, animation editors are continually re-cutting as scenes travel through different departments, growing more complex with each step. And they have more tools at their disposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf [a live action editor] wants an actor to deliver an important line in a close-up,\u201d Ryan points out, \u201cthey are tied to whatever single take works best. In animation, the performance begins with dialog and no picture, so the editor can combine the best parts of the best takes. We can even adjust pacing, tightening or lengthening pauses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs opposed to starting with a complete script, individual scenes are pitched to the team, and acted out by the animators, in front of storyboards that they have created,\u201d adds Siegel, who worked on <em>Shrek the Third<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/David-Siegel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"416\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Siegel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBecause we\u2019re starting with storyboards, we can often add camera moves within the AVID, or cobble storyboards together to create a new shot if needed,\u201d says Dietl. \u201cMaybe a nice crane shot would work in the scene; we can try it out and see if it works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other big difference with animation is the production timeline, with the average animated feature covering three years. \u201cIf we want to try a new camera angle or a new line of dialog, we can just call down a storyboard artist or get out the microphone and give it a try,\u201d Ryan says. \u201cThere\u2019s no need for an expensive re-shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visual Effects is another aspect of the editor\u2019s craft that\u2019s often overlooked. Sharon Smith Holley (<em>Stuart Little, Grinch, 2 Fast 2 Furious<\/em>) says a VFX editing room is usually packed with people who are firing on all creative cylinders at once. \u201cI remember when we were doing 2 <em>Fast 2 Furious<\/em>,\u201d Smith says. \u201cJohn Swallow, who was overseeing VFX for Universal, and director John Singleton came up with interesting possibilities for us to put together. And I watched [VFX supervisor] Mike Wassell literally create some shots in my cutting\u00a0room on\u00a0his laptop, which were then sent for film outs. We had two pre-vis people down the hall working with footage I would export, who would then turn around and give me post-vis shots for the cut to help move the story by showing what the VFX house would deliver, whether we used them for studio screenings or previews of the race sequences. They were exciting with these temp shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Increasing the thrill quotient for viewers is what new technology <\/strong>is all about. But<strong> <\/strong>how will these complex digital tools impact the editor\u2019s craft over the next decade? Carol Littleton, ACE was an Oscar nominee for <em>E.T<\/em>., and an Emmy nominee for <em>Tuesdays with Morrie. <\/em>Her most recent film was last winter\u2019s<em> Country Strong<\/em>. Littleton, a self-described \u201cold film editor,\u201d says she can see the writing on the wall and the world of editorial is at crossroads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDigital capture has replaced shooting on film for the majority of television production, and it is likely that advanced digital cameras will allow for their predominate use in features,\u201d Littleton states. \u201cWith the current digital tools, the workflow from camera to a finished film is chaotic at best, with digital post companies doing the work once done by film laboratories and telecine houses.\u201d Littleton says the management of digital RAW files now falls \u201ceither to the DIT on the set, a digital post-production house and\/or to the assistant editor. So that means the first steps of post-production [like converting RAW files] are shared by camera and editorial with no clear lines of responsibility. And [the new digital technology] has editorial doing an increasing number of jobs. I can still remember the days when we screened our first cut on film with grease pencil dissolves and two sound tracks, mixing on the fly!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/Lisa-Churgin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lisa Churgin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Over the last 10 to 15 years, as many veteran editors polled for this article have shared, the picture editor\u2019s craft has expanded to include cutting sound effects and music, AVID mixes, title design, and special visual effects, all of which are generated on their individual workstations. \u201cI remember the first time I worked on an AVID,\u201d Littleton continues. \u201cThe producer asked if I really needed an assistant since their work would be done by the AVID! Have you counted how many people are on the editorial staff in post-production these days? Or how many editors are required to get to the final mix? The workstation may have the software, but the editor still does the work. And it\u2019s imperative Local 700 stays abreast of the latest technologies, defines new jobs, trains our members in the latest digital procedures, and uses all that knowledge as leverage in the collective bargaining process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Churgin, a past president of the Motion Picture Editors Guild, is in complete agreement. \u201cUnions protect us in every way,\u201d she concludes. \u201cI have been in situations where the studio has tried to take advantage of me, and of others. One particular time was when the head of post-production scheduled a sound check screening late in the day. That meant we had to work until 2 a.m. to mix the sound for our screening the next day. The studio attempted to not pay for that overtime. But the union made a call. They are there to protect all of us, in so many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Putting All The Pieces Together. By Pauline Rogers.
