So I’ve been reading some of the other posts from “Notes From the 4th Wall” particularly this one, from Eric Lee. Writers always write! He says! Keep training, always, even if you don’t have work! That’s how you’ll get good enough to get work! It’s great advice for people of any profession- editors included. My roommate […]

It’s a tough job to watch all the crap the network puts out, but somebody has to do it. And by ‘somebody’, I typically mean the intern. A pretty huge part of my job was logging footage for these old kung-fu movies the network airs. About 98% they’re terrible- they make no sense, they’re dubbed […]

One of the things I had really big questions about when I came out was the Editor’s Reel. Obviously I knew it would be a little different than a Director’s/Cinematographer’s Reel for a couple of reasons- first, a quick montage doesn’t really always show that you know what you’re doing in terms of pacing, story, […]

One of the lovely tasks that an intern has to do when working for a lit manager/producer is to scan books, that we need to have copies of in our digital database. So what you see here is a very cute 500 page book that I had to scan, 2 pages at a time. Unfortunately […]

So one of the managers in the company had to be at the Beverly Hilton all day for the 2011 Television Critics Association Awards, and as we needed to give him something ASAP I offered to take it to him. There was a FOX sign right outside the entrance that I thought it was fun […]

I think the best way to go about this blog topic is to use an example from my favorite show, ‘Band of Brothers’. Picture: Video: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcMk85ZsBh0&w=560&h=349] The picture is good, you can make assumptions about the time and place by its context clues, but when you watch the video, it hits on so many […]

Hello All, So I just had a Skype date with Chris and Annie. We talked about life in our different cities, our internships, tv shows we’re watching and wanted to watch. Some how our conversation turned to Lifetime and Chris thought we should record that portion of our skype call for the blog. So below […]

A little more than a year after filming began, I finally got to see Virgin Alexander in Albany on Wednesday. My scene lasted probably less than 10 seconds, but I’m sure I’ll win the best supporting actor award in the upcoming Oscars :p. I jest, but the movie is actually doing well. It won awards […]
