"When you first start out as an editor, you spend a lot of time
learning the technology; software, formats, storage solutions.
You also have to learn a new vocabulary, words like offline
and transcode. Then you're excited to be cutting and learning
pacing and rhythm. But eventually you discover the real joy
of editing, which is obsessing over the fact that every scene,
shot, angle and frame has to bring something to the story.
It's all about telling a story, whether to inform, entertain or
sell something. It all starts with a reaction to a story."
