Things Editors Wish Directors Would Do
This past weekend I was fortunate to spend some time with a group of participants with the Jacksonville Film Festival’s workshop on “Editing the Feature Film,” presented by the well-seasoned husband and wife team of editors, Richard and Fran Clabaugh, of Crimson Wolf Productions. While I will not dispel all of the knowledge gleaned from the workshop, there is one particular outline that is near and dear to me as an editor. It’s a great compilation of ideas, and this list should prove as useful to any director as he approaches both his relationship with, and the shooting of footage for, the editor.
