It’s been a busy month and I’m happy to be working on a couple of projects, one corporate and one in news. On the news front, I’m now doing something that I think all editors should take the time to do: have a pre-pro conversation with the\u00a0D.P. \/ cameraperson.<\/p>\n
I’ve shied way\u00a0from doing\u00a0this for any of the\u00a0news stories I edit since there was always a division between the shooters in the field and post. Also, in the days of tape, there were\u00a0rarely any\u00a0questions to ask as everything was shot on digibeta.<\/p>\n
As you all know by now, I’m\u00a0an advocate for\u00a0merging the\u00a0two worlds that are\u00a0production and post-production. I finally put my money where my mouth is.<\/p>\n
No matter how much I think I know about cameras and post, I’m always reminded\u00a0that there are so many codecs, cameras, drives and connectors out there. The pipeline can be\u00a0a pretty\u00a0complicated system. What you don’t know is the thing that will\u00a0add a roadblock to getting your work done.<\/p>\n
The best thing that came out of\u00a0the conversation was realizing that my edit system was not the only important step in the data chain. We also need\u00a0to consider the system that the producer uses. Knowing that means\u00a0that they\u00a0will not shoot at 1080 instead of 4K since the producer’s\u00a0computer won’t\u00a0support it. This is\u00a0just another reminder that we editors need to get outside our suites every once in awhile and talk to the\u00a0folks in the field.<\/p>\n
Considering and determining your workflow before you hit record is the difference between frustration and creativity. I’m now\u00a0looking forward to the upcoming edit with confidence in what the crew will deliver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
