The Biggest Bloopers and Editing Errors That Have Been Caught in Major Films Throughout the Years

When it comes to film production, the technology used on set has evolved so much that you would think it would be impossible to make a mistake. However, despite the state of the art cameras and all the other equipment, some movie mistakes actually end up on the big screens. We all love watching bloopers and funny videos of actors who forget their lines but we don’t expect them to miss out on important details during the set. We’re not sure how some of these mistakes could go by unseen but they have.

3 ways post-production professionals can build a personal brand

Today I want to talk to you about something that I hazard to guess isn’t spoken of a lot on this site. Building your personal brand.  I know what you’re probably thinking: “‘Branding? What the hell does building a personal brand have anything to do with cutting! I’m an editor, not a Harvard Business Graduate! As long as I’m a good editor, that’s all that should count.”  And in a perfect world, I’d agree with you. But, last time I checked, the world is far from perfect (you need only take a brief look at the day’s news to figure that out.)  Here’s the thing: if the only thing you have going for yourself as a production professional is your NLE and storytelling skills, you could be missing out opportunities that could get you more business and higher fees.  Building a professional brand could be the best move you make in 2020 for your career. I’d like to share with you three ways in which you can do it.

The cloud paradox: is cloud-based post-production a future out of reach?

The potential benefits of a post-production pipeline in the cloud are irrefutable. As we touched on in our last article in this series, cloud technology has the ability to completely remove that tricky planning stage – where studios are forced into ‘finger in the air’ judgements on big decisions like workforce and compute capacity – while enabling global collaboration in real time.

Ideas for editors and post-production people while in isolation or quarantine

It may seem like a no-brainer to learn something new while you’re isolated in downtime. NAB has canceled. You local restaurants and businesses may or may not be shuttered. Your downtime may be a self-imposed (or government-imposed 🤨)  quarantine but it might also be because your jobs canceled or your place of employment has temporarily shut down. What seems like an eternity of free downtime can easily get taken up by endless binge-watching of any number of multi-season television shows but I’m going to suggest a few things that might be more productive. Some of these are my own ideas, some I’ve overhead and some come to us via Twitter.

Talking remote editing with the expert Michael Kammes

As we watch the spread of the coronavirus continue so does the talk about remote editing and editing at home so I wanted to talk remote editing with an expert on the subject, Michael Kammes. I’ve had calls about this, I’ve been messaged about it and I’ve seen tons of discussion online about it. I know a bit about some ways to edit remotely but not enough to answer all of the questions I had been receiving. I thought to myself… who knows the most about this topic than anyone else on the planet and that was an easy answer in my friend Michael, of 5 Things fame.

Daily Life of an Editor — Interview with Alex Macdonald

Creativity and technical skills go hand-in-hand for computer graphics (CG) professionals, and the industry itself offers a range of specialisations. A talented studio team can consist of riggers, animators, compositors, generalists, and of course, editors.  An editor’s role is to manipulate videos, arranging footage shot-by-shot in a way that best entertains or informs an audience. They collaborate with producers and directors to create that final, stunning masterpiece. Editors are often the backbone of production.

48 Professional Editors Explain How to Edit Videos Faster

Ever get that feeling that your video edits take FOREVER. That you must be the slowest editor alive…that every deadline you’re set feels like doomsday? While there’s no getting away from the fact that video editing is generally quite a brutal, time intensive process (just ask anyone that does it for a living – we salute you!), there ARE things that you can do to become more efficient and win back valuable time on each project. How do I know? Well it’s not because I’m some sort of super, duper video editor (I can’t edit for s***) or because I know of some magic video editing software. It’s because we recently spoke to almost 50 professional editors and asked them to share their secrets on “how to edit video faster?” This article is the result of those insightful conversations.

What tech tools are most important for your work as a television editor?  Most important is the one in my title: a television.  Though the pure tonnage of content dictates that I almost always have a new show going — on my laptop or a second monitor at work, occasionally my iPad or iPhone — I still vastly prefer watching TV on TVs. Both of the ones I have at home are attached to Apple TV consoles. With its fourth generation, the system and, more important, the touch pad remote finally advanced to the point where I was willing to commit.

A day in the life of an online editor on a live show is a day of balancing.

Do I take the time to do this “the right way,” or is “good enough” going to have to suffice in order to make air? It’s a day of calculating; a typical two- to four-minute package takes a certain amount of time to color, polish and prep. It’s a day of assessing: What’s the likelihood of things happening within the timeframes needed, and what do I do when those timeframes are compromised? I must have backup plans in place.

Behind the Scenes of Netflix’s Trollhunters  Written by Editor Graham Fisher

I come from a background in documentary editing, which, on the surface, is the polar opposite of animation editing. In documentary you will be given two hundred hours of footage and told to go make something. There’s no script and the story is found in the edit. Discovering the power of editorial in that environment, I came to animation with the sense that nothing is set in stone and that perhaps the director and I are Dr. Frankenstein, and all the various components of the episode from storyboards, to dialog, to sound and music are the various organs. It’s our job to knit them together in a way where our monster can come to life.

ROLAND GALOIS’ Top 3 Tips for Emerging Editors

SUBTITLES:

HOW  TO  BURN  SUBTITLES  INTO  VIDEO:  If you get you captions as a standard captions file (.srt, .ass, etc) then you can do it with ffmpeg, or one of the gui versions of ffmpeg.  You can combine the compression to whatever output format you’re creating into the subtitle burning stage.  So for example if you wanted to create a good quality mpeg4: ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx264 -preset slow -profile:v main -crf 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf “subtitles=yoursubtitles.srt” output.mp4.   SUBRIP:  Leave it as a separate SRT file, most TV’s now would just play ‘movie’ with a ‘movie.srt’ file in the same folder…Or as with vast number of mkv files, use
mkvtoolnix to merge in the srt file into the mkv file, you’ll still retain vid/audio/subs tracks, not burnt in.

OpenSubtitles.org

SUBTITLE  EDIT:  is a free (open source) editor for video subtitles – a subtitle editor. Has OCR for corrections, edit/resync any subs. Export stl/scc formats ? if so,
then  read it in and you can edit it like a text editor….then you can save it out as another bunch of other formats.

DSRT

CHOCOLATEY Software Management Automation:  A package manager like apt-get on linux or home-brew for mac. A script that will install it for you, and from then you can add tools like ffmpeg by just typing choco install ffmpeg.  Unfortunately ffmpeg doesn’t seem to like .stl or .scc subtitles, but it’s pretty easy to translate stl to srt using a word-processor and find and replace (or sed / awk on the command line).

CODEC:

You need to find out what the actual Codec is. You can do this by finding an application that can query the MXF.

For example: http://www.opencubetech.com/page20/XFReader

Or if you know the camera it came from you can determine the format this way.  If the files are from a camera that has a plugin for premiere then you should just be able to download the plugin from the camera vendors website.

INSTANCING 

When a shot or clips are instanced, the same source clip is used including the same animation curve.  When the source clip, including animation is modified the instance clip is also modified.  Instance clips are generally used to reduce the calculation time, clips that are instanced take lesser time to calculate than clips that are copied.

“Editing is the essence of cinema.”  Francis Ford Coppola

“Relating a person to the whole world:  that is the meaning of cinema.”  Andrei Tarkovsky

“The film editor is the gatekeeper to what the audience gets to see.”  Peter Greenaway

  • Have to establish style, the most important thing.  Way above sensational.  Wild, innovative, unusual and visually extraordinary making something emotional.
  • Having hundreds of options, what emotionally touches you, edit for structure and rhythm, guiding the audience’s perspective through where they look, how are they going to look and how they will feel about that moment.
  • How much backstory and character detail do you need?  A bit more detail about the character to invest in the character.
  • What to do in chronological narrative and how that will relate to audience.
  • How to make something travel from A to B, is about rhythm, delivering a story, the best way to deliver that story depending on style and what the content is that has been supplied.
  • Great sense of observation, extraordinary amount of patience, tune into how a director sees their vision and put something together that even surprises the director.
  • A director that has something to tell that no one else has told or can tell something in a way that has not been told in that style or context before.
  • Create a bit of magic in the workplace in order to create magic. Live the vision.
  • Teams only get boring when one member stops growing, pushing yourself into uncertainty.  Nourish creative life, bring together the strengths creating something new.
  • Language that is all about story telling.
  • Using style to keep the rhythm, creating devices to create the rhythm.  Creating patterns out of chaos and uncertainty.  Conducting the orchestra and also playing all the instruments.
  • Sometimes overt and sometimes invisible, not only about the large explosions also about the internal explosions that people might have.  Understand the character with the same ownership as the characters do.
  • Parallel stories and making you believe them.
  • Know when to get out, what do you want to achieve by the end of this and to know that you have go it.
  • Creating the tension between the visual and the rhythm is what makes exciting cinema.  Rhythm, classical or chaotic.  Cutting style that does not interfere.  People want to communicate, a story that connects and emotionally touches the audience.  It is the audience in the end and the editor is responsible for that.

Mie Moth-Poulsen, ‘Can you Cut It? An Exploration of the Effects of Editing in Cinematic Virtual Reality’

The vast development of Virtual Reality (VR) displays and 360 degree video cameras has sparked an interest in bringing cinematic experiences from the screen and into VR. However, Cinematic Virtual reality is a new and relatively unexplored area within academic research. Historically editing has provided filmmakers with a powerful tool for shaping stories and guiding the attention of audiences. However, will an immersed viewer, experiencing the story from inside a 360 degree fictional world, find cuts disorienting? This question, founded two iterative studies investigating the application of editing in Cinematic Virtual Reality and if this causes disorientation for the viewer.

This paper details two studies exploring how cut frequency influences viewers’ sense of disorientation and their ability to follow the story, during exposure to fictional 360° films experienced using a head-mounted display. The results revealed no effects of increased cut frequency which leads us to conclude that editing need not pose a problem in relation to cinematic VR, as long as the participants’ attention is appropriately guided at the point of the cut.

TALK

Editing 360 deg VR to guide the viewers attention can be too disorienting for the viewer, even experiencing motion sickness and there needs to be some kind of adjusting.

Does editing work in 360 deg films, will it work in VR?

Remember The Lumière Brothers Arrival of the Train where people thought it would come out of the screen and hit them so they ran out of the cinema in fear.

Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (The Lumière Brothers, 1895)

What is the average cut length for the right pacing and how can this be applied to cinematic VR?  How to join shots together to produce the narrative?  With new mediums it takes some time and effort for user experiences.

Traditional editing  – the cuts to be true to emotion, to the story, the rhythm, eye trace, 2d plane of the screen and 3d space.  Still need to created smoother transitions and avoid disorientation.

With cinematic virtual reality things start to shift around, the effects of scale change and need to consider staging, setting, lighting and editing in the VR world.

Shot two films, for 360, two 180 deg films that are stitched together.  Need to considering the camera placement, thinking about the camera as a person and to be as natural as possible for testing and not make the participance more disoriented.  Later introduced a third camera.

Lighting is another challenge because when the two images are stitched together the exposure is different affecting the user experience.

Editing is no longer done frame to frame, it is done roll to roll and gives production challenges.  Need to consider the shot length, does being cut on the action still work, what about when cutting from one world to another world.

Uses to look around the world, not guid the attention too much, having a concept of presence about being in another place and have the cuts match the viewers attention.

Spacial sound, 3D audio effects are a group of sound effects that manipulate the sound produced by stereo speakers, surround-sound speakers, speaker-arrays, or headphones. This frequently involves the virtual placement of sound sources anywhere in three-dimensional space, including behind, above or below the listener.

Walter Murch  Multiple Oscar winning film editor & sound designer Walter Murch‘s distinguished 50-year career reads like a ‘best of’ list of feature films. His work as both editor and sound designer on classic films such as  Apocalypse Now, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Ghost, The Godfather II & III, The English Patient and the Talented Mr Ripley mean his word is virtually gospel when it comes to filmmaking.
