THE ACE EDITING EXPERIENCE
Non-scripted
Ready for a true challenge? How about diving into the delectable world of non-scripted editing? Imagine foraging through hours of unscripted footage, navigating the uncharted territory of real, often unpredictable people instead of rehearsed actors, and crafting an appetizing and compelling narrative without the crutch of a predetermined script. It’s a demanding journey that requires not just technical skill but an abundance of creativity and hard work.
Now, picture this: a scene from one of Netflix’s most popular shows, now in its 7th season, Somebody Feed Phil. Follow television producer, writer, philanthropist, author, world traveler, and professional foodie Phil Rosenthal as he journeys to Mumbai, India, to savor its culture through its delicious cuisine.
As a non-scripted editor, your task is no small feat. You’re not just an editor; in this case, you’re a culinary storyteller, tasked with showcasing the tantalizing food, vibrant locations, and colorful personalities, all while keeping the audience invested and engaged in both the characters and the story you’re cooking up from raw ingredients.
In the realm of non-scripted editing, you’re often dealing with multiple storylines, weaving together various character arcs, each with its own unique charm. Your goal? To blend it all together and create a show that’s not just zippy, entertaining, and relatable but also emotionally engaging.
