Editing an animated film offers the distinct
advantage of cutting the movie with the film's
director before it's shot. Editors work with
storyboards and temporary dialogue to craft and
re-craft the story across many iterations before it
gets locked and moves forward into production.
Meet some of the magicians who help bring your
favorite animated features to life! Guests will
include Mary Blee (The Wild Robot), Susan
Fitzer (Spellbound), Lynn Hobson (Transformers
One), Darren Holmes, ACE (The Iron Giant)
and Bret Marnell, ACE (Ultraman: Rising). The
panel will be moderated by Carolyn
Giardia (Senior Entertainment Technology &
Crafts Editor),
