On The Upshaws, we almost always stuck to the script and the pace was much slower. Additionally, I had to recalibrate my thinking to the editorial style of single-camera sketch comedy. We would screen cuts together as an editorial team and debate how to land a joke better, or which scenes would play best in an episode together. The culture of History of the World was extremely collaborative. Of course, I jumped at the chance!Ĭoming from The Upshaws, where it was generally just me in the edit bay combined with the multi-camera editorial style, was an adjustment as History was quite the opposite. Just as we were wrapping up our season, Wanda asked if I’d be interested in cutting the Mel Brooks sketch comedy series. My experience editing The Upshaws led me to my next show, History of the World, Part II. History of the World Part 2 | Trailer | Hulu youtu.be I enjoyed the challenge of landing the jokes with the proper takes and reactions while artfully weaving in the laughter. The editorial style of The Upshaws is a hybrid of the two: we have the element of the studio audience, however, our showrunners prefer that the edits are on the tighter side, which is a different take on this format. Single Camera comedy, however, is usually edited in a much tighter manner, with jokes layered on top of each other. Multi-camera sitcoms are shot on a soundstage with a studio audience and because they have a laugh track, the editorial style is much like stand-up comedy in the sense that the show is cut fat with room for the laughter to play out and time for the characters to take the laughter in. The Upshaws: Part 3 | Official Trailer | Netflix youtu.beĬoming from a background of editing stand-up comedy made my transition to cutting The Upshaws a fluid one. This came with a lot of pressure and growth but also led to my first three Primetime Emmy nominations in 2023: two for The Upshaws and one for History of the World Part II. It was my first multi-camera sitcom and I was the only editor on the second season of a hit show (except Episode 5, where I share a credit with the talented Russell Griffin). This was a pivotal moment in my career for multiple reasons. The way you decide to label things depends on the project and what you can accomplish with it. You can color code shot angles, characters, camera position, light setups and so on. You can use labels in so many different ways. It’s helpful to assign a keyboard shortcut to that one as well. If you need to select all instances of a given label, you can use the “Selecting label group” feature. In my experience, the best option is to use numeric keys. To avoid it, I advise assigning keyboard shortcuts for labels. Labeling is time-consuming because you need to click a few times before you assign a label to a given clip. When you’re editing an interview with a few people answering the same questions, you can color code each question or each person by using labels. In the video below, I highlight some smart techniques for how to use labels most effectively. In editing, you practice triage by labeling your clips and color-coding your timeline by importance or value. In medical use, this is the assignment of degrees of urgency to wounds or illnesses to decide the order of treatment of a large number of patients or casualties. Do you edit videos? If so, you know that most of your work involves the process of triage.
