Editing Quotes

Editing is hard but nowhere NEAR as tough as facing that blank page and blinking cursor each day. You’re all alone and no one else can do it. At least with editing you have someone in the trench with you Picture Quote #1

It was not until I began to write a book called ‘Light Years’ that an editor really stepped in. The editor was Joe Fox at Random House, and he wound up editing a subsequent book Picture Quote #1

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He’d be a good film professor Picture Quote #1

My parents were in the book business, my brothers still run the Dutton bookstores in Los Angeles, and I’ve been interested in editing books and journals all of my life Picture Quote #1

I personally think a fight scene is the most cinematic thing you can witness because all the elements of filmmaking come together, you know, with the camera speed changes, editing, make up effects and general smoke and mirrors of trying to make it look like you are hitting someone when you’re not. It’s filmmaking in it’s purest form, I think Picture Quote #1

For an actor working in television or film, I think it’s important to understand how the medium works - how the camera and lenses work and how the sound and the editing works Picture Quote #1

I like to do the camera work myself because I kind of feel it, you know, I don’t articulate it, I feel it. It’s the same with editing Picture Quote #1

If any sort of error is inexcusable, it’s an incorrect phone number. One of the cardinal rules of copy editing is that every phone number published must be checked Picture Quote #1

There’s editing, and scripts to read and edit, and casting, and all the elements of production that just sort of take up the normal downtime that you would have as an actor. So there’s not a lot of that for me Picture Quote #1

The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics - the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room Picture Quote #1

I came from the school of cinema verite documentaries, which was: Do not manipulate reality as it was happening but create a narrative in the editing room Picture Quote #1

I moved to New York City when I was 20 years old, started making movies non-stop. I didn’t have any friends, so I would just sit at home all night editing on my iMac Picture Quote #1

I’m in awe of directors like the Coen brothers who can shoot their script and edit it, and that’s the movie. They’re not discovering the movie in postproduction. They’re editing the script they shot Picture Quote #1

When I started editing on my home computer, I said to myself, ‘Well, I could be at home studying for a class or I could be at home editing a video.’ Picture Quote #1

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that’s kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing Picture Quote #1

I love the idea that the editing room is the final time you write. You should still be creatively solving problems even at that point. It’s not really until you’re locked that you can call it quits Picture Quote #1

I did an audiobook for ‘Rough Crossings,’ which I thought was one of the best books I had published. But it was an absolute embarrassment to read it. All these horrible mucked-up bits of syntax, over-the-top adjectives. I found myself editing it while reading. Alert listeners will notice the difference Picture Quote #1

In the web products and services world, you have a real-time interaction with your customers, and then a real-time editing of how you as a company are doing Picture Quote #1

Because I am kind of distracted, I don’t tend to sit at my desk 9 to 5. It can be two hours a day, or, when I’m in the final editing stages, it can be 14 hours a day Picture Quote #1

Editing is a very tough period. You’re confronted with yourself. It’s a deep, dark, truthful mirror Picture Quote #1

Feature filmmaking is a different kind of complication as documentary comes in the editing room Picture Quote #1

By the way, today with digital cameras and editing on your laptop, and things like that, you can make a feature film, a narrative feature film easily for $10,000 Picture Quote #1

I love meeting ‘the Odd Man Out’ - like fans of ‘Baywatch’ who regret, as I do, that Tower 12 Productions didn’t put nearly as much energy into writing and directing the show as they put into photographing and editing it Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when you’re heavy into the shooting or editing of a picture, you get to the point where you don’t know if you could ever do it again Picture Quote #1

I love being on stage if I’m not on a set. If I’m at home, I’m usually in my office editing or reconstructing my website or whatever it may be. I just love putting creativity into a performance, so if the right script comes along, and I certainly am reading comedies and dramas now, then I’m ready willing and able to give it a shot Picture Quote #1

When I’m editing, I try to bring out some dramatic structure. I think it is about theater in some way; it is a little play Picture Quote #1

In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we’d go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father’s televised service for 17 years Picture Quote #1

I don’t know - I haven’t seen any of my movies after I finish them. I leave the editing room; I don’t go back Picture Quote #1

I don’t shoot movies quickly because I get a lot of coverage and a lot of angles, so we have all the pieces in the editing. I do a lot of takes, but it’s because I’m looking for something Picture Quote #1

I’ll still make movies for studios, but my editing process will be much further removed from the studio system. Because I don’t understand it. I don’t understand the whole testing-numbers thing. It is not how I want to make movies. So if that’s how they do it, then I don’t think I want to do it Picture Quote #1
