Editing is about psychology. It’s about knowing your audience and guiding them through a story, your story. The editing must be seamless, so they can view with ease or, if called for, a quick shock. If someone notices that they’re watching a series of clips smashed together then you haven’t done your job.
Penguin Proposal Video
This is my (now) husband and my personal proposal video. It was shot on a cell phone camera, as I thought the family and I were just going to New Orleans for a typical touristy day. Boy was I wrong! Jose and my mother surprised us with a “Backstage Penguin Tour” at the Audubon Aquarium where we would be able to pet and feed penguins… and Jose set up a very special treat during that backstage visit… Edited by TR Dailey.
The Golden Compass Trailer
This trailer is a personal project edited using scenes chosen from the feature film in order to help the audience visualize what the announcer, music, and other various noises are saying and doing.
