“A film is born in my head and I kill it on paper. It is brought back to life by the actors and then killed in the camera. It is then resurrected into a third and final life in the editing room where the dismembered pieces are assembled into their finished form.” FilmFormActorsBornRoomsPiecesPaperThirdsCamerasFinalsFinishedEditing Author:Robert Bresson
“When I have just sat down and tried to write the lyrics of a song, usually about half of it sounds like bullshit. I just have to go away from something and come back to it again later. I do a lot of editing and switching around and putting little pieces together to get the right mood and personality, and it takes me forever to get a song finished.” WritingLittlesTogetherSongSoundHalfForeverPiecesPersonalityDown AndFinishedMoodSatGoing AwayTake MeBullshitEditingSwitching Author:Matt Berninger
“I've directed bits of action and so I know that it's long and it's very detailed. Editing action is a good deal more exciting than shooting action.

“Using film was so much easier than the digital technology of today. But digital is still at the beginning of what it can be and they'll be fixing all those problems. It's just too complicated - negatives, tinting, flashing - it's a whole new system that takes a lot of time. Of course, it's not as physical. Even the editing. You used to feed a piece of celluloid into an editor. [Digital] is not expensive and that is an advantage, but I must say that I don't love it.” StillsWholeProblemTodayFilmUsedCoursesTechnologyPiecesEasierAdvantageComplicatedExpensiveDigitalEditorsEditingFixingDigital TechnologyCelluloid Author:Vilmos Zsigmond
“Editing should be, especially in the case of old writers, a counselling rather than a collaborating task. The tendency of the writer-editor to collaborate is natural, but he should say to himself, 'How can I help this writer to say it better in his own style?' and avoid 'How can I show him how I would write it, if it were my piece?'” IfsShouldWritingHelpingShowsNaturalCasesPiecesStyleTasksTendenciesEditorsEditingCollaboratingEditing And Writing Book:Collecting Himself: James Thurber on Writing and Writers, Humor and Himself Source: Collecting Himself: James Thurber on Writing and Writers, Humor and Himself
“The editing process, for me, is both the most fun and the most frustrating. It's the most fun because you get to see it actually piece together. But if one thing is off, it can be frustrating trying to figure out exactly what it is that's bumping you, so you try a hundred different things.” IfsTryingDifferentTogetherFunProcessPiecesOne ThingFiguresHundredDifferent ThingsEditingFrustrating Author:Scott Foley
“As the actor, you can't be worried about the scene that you're going to playing two days from now. You think about what's going on, right now and in the moment. That's what you worry about. Everything is right then and there. In the end, all of the pieces come together, thanks to the editing and James Gunn.” ThinkingTwoEndsMomentsTogetherActorsWorryPiecesRight NowSceneThanksWorriedEditingTwo Days Author:Michael Rooker
“During the preproduction when I'm shooting and then once we wrap we go away. And then the visual effects guys take over. And then they add all those little bits and pieces. They come up with ideas during the cut in the editing, and they said while would be really cool if we did this thing here where the blade pops out. So then you see the movie and say wow that's a really neat idea.

“The thing about how that process works is that it's more about the editing and time for judging the ideas. Most pieces I publish each week have been around for months. This is a response to the beginning of the strip, when I was making them so quickly. I would just conceive a piece, finish it, and then the next day see it in the paper. That was when I was doing dailies four days a week.” Has BeensIdeasNextProcessPiecesFourWeekJudgingMonthsPaperResponseEditingNext DayPublish Author:Paul Madonna
