I have been doing some research on Editor, Sound Designer, and Writer; Walter Murch. I have a picture of him hanging from my rear view mirror, he is that amazing. He's acclaimed book In the Blink of an Eye, got me through college. When I think about the pacing of a scene I think about the pacing of his editing and the pacing of a few other editors. Which is one of the many ways I set up a scene and the story.
In a documentary I watch in college about editing he has many scenes of him editing Blue Mountain. In these scenes he is editing while standing up. He's even claimed that editing is both "conducting, brain surgery and short-order cooking." This idea has always intrigued me and I think it about it contently, at work. So, I have decided I'm going to start standing up at work after hours, for now. I'll keep you up with my progress. On, my upcoming editing and After Effects blog.
HERE COMES THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Walter Murch as I found out recently is also a man who likes to lay down when he writes. For he see's writing as a more relaxed process. Thus allowing him to separate his editing mind from his creating mind. So, today I will try writing while lying down. I will probably fall asleep with a pen in mouth. But, I will post the results later, tonight.
I will see you all when I'm done writing.
Here's a link starring, R. L. Stine!
