An experienced editor is the best companion to filmmakers. The basic task is to collect all the information that was recorded on camera to complete a specific assignment and integrate it in the story. Don't get caught up in this flimsy concept! There's a lot more to editing than splicing 'err' clicking-and-dragging clips into a timeline! A good editor understands what drives the narrative's dramatic elements, and then decides what footage will be utilized to make up the overall.

Tutorial on Video Coverage and Cutaways

Pro-tip Keep track of your assets (cast crew, equipment and time in the restaurant of the uncle of your cousin's father-in-law's best friend's aunt') when considering whether or not you want to make "just one more" photo of the same photo.

Until next time, friends!
