Thanks for sharing this article Maurice Vaughan. I personally haven't had the opportunity to work on a feature film (yet) but this article was insightful. A little peek into what's possible. I honestly had no idea the editors would edit the footage the following day, with 12+ hour days (sheesh), but with all the different moving part it makes sense to edit as you go. I did find the first bulletin point to be extremely useful. I naturally do something similar but could use a revamp of my process. Thanks again for sharing, fun article to read before bed.

You're welcome, Cyrus Sales. Glad you found the article insightful. I'm not experienced with editing besides editing some of my videos, but I've learned a lot about editing from the blogs and Post-Production Lounge on Stage 32. I've heard that learning editing can help a screenwriter, and I've been planning on getting a copy of the book "In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing." I hope you get the opportunity to work on a feature film!
