EDITING is time traveling. When else can you go back to an event and manipulate and correct it until you get it right. When else can one stucture an experience frame by frame and make a viewer believe he is watching it unfold before his eyes. How can I make you cry or laugh over something that happened a long time ago? It's all about timing and spacing (time and space). It may feel like you are experiencing it for the first time, but the editor lives there. She knows every frame. She knows that moment. She knows when it's coming. And like God, she hopes you will react the right way when that moment arrives. A film-taught editor from the 80s, his first experiences in picture editing were with his lon-time partner, Roberta Green in the Riverside studio in NYC. There, he found himself buried in 16mm strips, cotton bins an 8-plate Steenbeck and a lot of time on his hands. Now he edits in Final Cut Pro and After Effects mostly, but has managed to hold onto his Super-8 editor and projector just in case.
