Manhattan Edit Workshop Goes Back to the Future - MovieMaker Magazine

, , , ,

In the Six-Week Intensive Course at Manhattan Edit Workshop (Mewshop), students learn how to use editing software like Final Cut Pro and Avid.

But the school also emphasizes the importance of editing history and theory, ensuring that students know how, when and why to use the tools they have been taught. After all, editors who achieve success in the industry must understand the art of editing as well as which keys to press on a computer. The school’s Artists in Residence program hammers home this point by bringing editors to screen and discuss their work, sharing with students the lessons they’ve learned throughout their own careers.

Editor in Residence

Every moviemaker knows that a film never truly takes shape until it makes way to the editing room.  A great editor is a much a necessity for a successful film as as a talented writer or director. If it seems like well-known directors work with same editors over the course of their movies career that's because, well, they do!
