- Let's talk about involving the post team,…that's me, before the shoot.…This is what editors expect from producers.…I'll tell you my point of view.…I view editing pretty much like playing an instrument,…after all, they're both arts that live in time,…video and music, and I see a script pretty much…like I would see a score from Bach or Beethoven,…so, I don't want to make up chords or notes that…the composer never wrote.…Instead, I want to interpret what was there…so I give my creative expression to my work, but yet,…don't deviate from what the producer had in mind.…
- I think that's a great analogy…and in my world, I work a lot in non-fiction,…so, sometimes, there are a few surprises along the way.…(chuckles) Some notes I didn't expect to be in the score…to begin with and I guess I would make the analogy…more to like cooking a meal together,…but, rather than handing you a mystery bag…of groceries, where you have no idea what you're getting,…we like to talk in advanced and say we're making chicken…or we're making a vegetable dish, and then we might talk…
