@Nicole_saysLove This is awful, expected a lot more from fellow editors. I’m not Hollywood, but do cut Drama for HBO (CHERNOBYL last year, and THE THIRD DAY this year) My DMs are open to any black editors or assistants who want to get in touch, with the aim of future positive action hiring.

Working as an Editor on #Andor , I actually finished in December last year … Watching it now is the first time I’ve seen the VFX, heard the final score. It’s a basic establisher, but this shot is absolutely incredible … jaw droppingly good.

Any Editor that has watched the Mission Impossible films knows the person editing those is at the absolute top of the game. Unfortunately, getting Oscar nominated for such a thing would be an impossible mission. Thankfully @eddiehamilton has been nominated for Top Gun instead! 🤩

@chibiandchill Sorry to say this, but the difference between 32k and 23k is £9000 - even if you weren’t taxed on any of that, then that’s only £750 a month … so of course after all taxes, the rise is only gonna be £500 a month … Also - £500 more a month is a lot of money!

So often, their films are a recollection, a personal story from a narrator - to me the edits act like fragmented, discontinuous memories. Also notice they use the audio take for “something like that” when Leo isn’t even moving his mouth … it’s not a disregard … it’s deliberate.

#myfavouriteedits A beautiful match cut, taking you into the inner turmoil of Arthur Fleck. I can't tell if this was planned … apparently climbing into the fridge was an improvised moment, Phoenix went to amazing lengths to embody the character. (Joker, 2019, Jeff Groth)

#myfavouriteedits We’re 3 minutes into this film, and already they’ve established this beautiful and brilliant grammar, utilising a real world audio recording and FBI transcript. Really fantastic work. (Reality, 2023, Ron Dulin & Jennifer Vecchiarello)

#myfavouriteedits Want to connect two separated characters? Have them both watching the same TV show (or listening to a radio broadcast) ... extra points for match-frame composition. (Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, 1977, Michael Kahn)

#TheThirdDay : AUTUMN didn't win a BAFTA this evening, but it has been uploaded in it's entirety with remastered colour grading and audio mix, as well as all the glitches removed ... it's a phenomenal 12-hour live recording of a single performance ...

#myfavouriteedits Less is more, even in films with Zombies on Trains ... I love how understated this early part of the film is ... it's not too fast or fleeting, instead it's obscured and distant, calm and curious. From the editor of PARASITE. (Train to Busan, 2016, Jinmo Yang)

#myfavouriteedits we're using splitscreens in a film I'm working on & our brilliant assistant @BorjaT pulled a bunch of references. Will share over the next few days ... this is an OG with a genius ending transition out of the split. (The Boston Strangler, 1968, Marion Rothman)

#myfavouriteedits split screens are a perfect visual approach to phone calls - but this one steps up the style, using a flickering flame as the edge of our split. I also love how they're framed different - Leo in CU, John in MS. (The Aviator, 2004, Thelma Schoonmaker)

@thedalstonyears @HelenSimmons8 Also - they should have sacked Dom Cummings, instead of showing people that it’s ok to bend the rules to fit your own situation ... Matt Hancock stood by him at the time 🤷‍♂️
