Description
Summary:
Editorial is where it all comes together. From
Storyboard Animatics to final shots, Editorial is responsible for
maintaining the tonal center of the film, through pacing and always maintaining
focus on story. The Editor is responsible primarily for teeing up sequences for
the Master Edit suite on a daily and weekly basis, as well as assisting where
required. The successful applicant should be well versed in Avid Media
Composer, have a great balance between technical and creative, and have a
demonstrated passion for story and film. A combination of both animation and
live-action experience is preferred.
When helping to cut Storyboard animatics, the Editor
will show a keen sense for story and tone, as well as a knack for creating
living, breathing animatics through the use of sound, music, and using
comedic/dramatic timing. They aren't just still images! Make them come to life.
In addition to creating great storyboard
animatics, the Editor should be comfortable with a footage-based approach when
working with Previs. Previs will not necessarily be shot specific to the
storyboard animatic. The goal is to always enhance with shot selection, sound
effects, and timing. Take it to the next level!
Taking direction well and being a team player is a
must, as well as experience within animation or VFX editorial pipelines. The Editor
should also be well-organized, able to manage media effectively and efficiently
within the Avid Unity system, and familiar with multiple codecs and formats.
