Robert Hogan has a blog called Adventures in Storytelling. On January 10 he posted an entry called On Editing and it is just a bunch of quotes and comments on editing from some anonymous authors as well as motion picture editors. A couple of my favorites are:

Resist the urge to chop up someone’s good work – whether it be an actor of the DP.
- Stephen Mack
Cutting dialogue sequences is much more difficult because it’s not just cutting words: You’re cutting the emotion. You are cutting lives connecting. Attitudes, moments, emotions. And the actors have to look good; they have to be cherished and they have to be honored.
- Carol Littleton

    Thanks for the link. I’ve gone back to that post many times over the last year in editing two short films. Great stuff in there, I’m glad that I was able to share it.
