| sachunglo Member SPERMAN OAKS 48 Posts 1/04 | Posted - Apr 8 2004 : 6:36AM Sometimes directors depend too heavily on the editor (thinking that they don't have to pay attention to details when shooting), but at the end of the day it is the job of the video editor to make best with what footage he receives A video editor to me is a like the person putting together the puzzle that is jerk vision (sometimes the director can help piece it together too) Although people might say, "they are just editing porn" good editors that come to mind are diamond goldstein and d.t. aka dark twon [Link] |

| TonyC Comstock Films 2523 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Apr 8 2004 : 11:11AM I've used a diffenent puzzle analogy for editing docs: Imagine going from garage sale to garage sale buying second-hand jigsaw puzzle. Sometime you get to see the box covers, sometimes you don't. Sometimes it's obvious puzzle pieces are missing, sometimes it's not. Take the ones you like/can afford home and start putting pieces together. Maybe you have an idea of what the finished piece will look like, maybe you don't. Sometimes you use pieces from the same puzzle together, sometimes you don't. How exactly the shapes of the pieces fit together is of varying importance, depending on context. Cover rough patches with cross-dissolves. Pray the producer has budget for top quality music and a celebrity voice-over. -T.C. [Link] |

AVN does not list the names of the editors before 1996, so some of those movies may have been edited by someone other than the director too. Best Editing - Film Best Editing - Video And for reference, here are the Best Directors (Film and Video) and Best Film and Video winners Best Director - Video Best Film Best Video

| dac David Aaron Clark Just another WKW wannabe 574 Posts 2/04 | Posted - May 6 2004 : 8:57PM I started editing my own stuff four years ago, and my style today reflects the fact that the same guy shooting the camera is the one editing it. Editing your own stuff results in being a better shooter. Anybody in porn who neither holds their own camera or at least sits in on editing is not really a "director," but more of a producer, because they really don't have that much to do with shaping the product besides casting the performers and telling them what kind of sex to have. As for my style of editing, I find the best analogy to be scuplting -- I take raw footage and slowly whittle it down to what should be there, emphasizing what needs to be emphasized, and making multiple passes until I have my "final" product. I say "final" because even now there isn't a show I've done that if I could go back there wouldn't be some fine-tuning I would make. Of course, i take longer than your average porn editor to do my work -- I am more painstaking because it is in my best interest on every level to do the best job possible. I agree that porn editors are woefully underpaid and unappreciated in this business. dac p.s. I'm indeed one of those damn directors who have gotten AVN noms for my editing. But I deserved it. :) [Link] |
