Less than mid-June, a little earlier than planned, the crew moved into post-production, with editor Jessica Filton following the crew into Warner Studios' post-production studio.

If you start post-production early, you will definitely have to pay the corresponding payment, but in the face of the time saved, Ronan is also generous.

He himself is not stingy and knows very well the great incentive effect of money, but at this stage, the funds in his hands are limited, and every money must be spent where it should be spent most.

"I've seen about two-thirds of the footage. ”

In the editing room, Jessica Filton sits in front of her workbench with her long hair tied back neatly, "I'm going to spend the next week going through all the shots the director shoots and then make a cutting plan." ”

Ronan nodded lightly, and subconsciously glanced at Jessica Filton, I don't know if it was because she was sitting too close to the workbench, the female editor's huge breasts seemed to rest on the workbench.

Probably this will reduce the burden on the body? After all, the weight should not be overlooked.

"Okay!" Ronan pulled over a chair and sat down at the workbench next to him, "I'll try to find time to read it again." ”

With James Wong's shooting, all of his footage has already been seen.

Jessica Filton adjusted the back of her chair to find the most comfortable position, and even though it was covered by a tight body shirt, the two large balls were still spread out on the workbench like a hydration bag.

"Worried about me?" she asked.

Ronan shrugged: "No. I need to learn. ”

"Huh?" Jessica Filton didn't understand, "Why?"

Ronan said directly: "Lack of ability. ”

Jessica Filton nodded and said, "Few men are as open as you are. ”

Ronan smiled: "It's not ashamed to admit your own shortcomings." ”

There was a knock on the door of the editing room, Jessica Filton called for please come in, and immediately two people walked in with several large packages, many of which were household items, including pads that the ladies needed every month.

Jessica Felton pointed to the open space at the door: "Put it here first, I'll clean it up later." ”

Then, another man came up dragging an oversized suitcase, which looked like a futon or something from the outside of the packaging.

Jessica Felton commanded the other to be placed behind the door.

When these people left, Ronan asked curiously, "What are you going to do here?"

"Pretty much. Jessica Filton said directly: "Isn't this editing room with a break? I'll be living here for the next two months." ”

Ronan was surprised: "We have a lot of time. ”

Jessica Felton cocked up her finger and shook it: "You don't understand, editing is a job that requires two hundred percent effort, and I can't be distracted." So, you need to find someone who is responsible for bringing me food and drink, and don't let any unrelated people come in and disturb me. ”

She took out her mobile phone and stuffed it to Ronan: "You have my mobile phone, if someone contacts me, push what you can, you can push it, you can do it if you can't, you don't have to tell me anything other than the professor." ”

Ronan looked at his phone and asked, "What about your family?"

"I told my family yesterday. Jessica Felton was clearly prepared: "They won't bother me during this time. ”

When he met such a conscientious and responsible and dedicated person, what else could Ronan say, he nodded: "Okay!

This is really a super tech nerd.

If every employee could be like Jessica Felton, how much worry would be saved?

Unfortunately, not everyone can combine hobbies and work.

"Let's get to work. Jessica Felton stopped talking and started playing the footage from the shooting.

Ronan was in front of the assistant desk and also looked at it carefully.

Next to her, Jessica Felton was attentive, as if there was no other scene in the editing room than the footage, and every time she watched a shot, she would make a record in her notebook.

Sometimes, after looking at all the shots of a scene, she goes back and looks at it repeatedly, as if looking for every cut point in the shot.

Editing is the main part of film art creation, an indispensable important process of film production, and a re-creation of a film from shooting to completion.

This was originally part of the director's job, and it was a very important part.

With the continuous development of science and technology, the film has evolved from the early silent film to the sound film, the editing process is becoming more and more complex, coupled with the continuous updating of film expression techniques, the director's creative tasks are becoming more and more arduous, and it is impossible to have time to operate the editing equipment and edit the film himself, so the editing professionals are gradually produced: editors and editing assistants.

In the last two or three decades, as Hollywood has thoroughly established the producer-centric system, directing and editing have become two completely different professions.

Even, the editing under the control of the producer can cut the film in a way that is far from what the director wants to express when shooting.

From the film material to a complete film work, the editing often has to go through multiple steps such as review, initial editing, re-editing, fine editing and even comprehensive editing.

Jessica Filton has no assistants, everything has to be done herself, and she herself is unusually committed.

After concentrating on watching for two and a half hours, Ronan's eyes were a little tired, he rubbed his eyes, and looked to the side, Jessica Felton still maintained the sitting position she had started with, staring closely at the monitor screen, and only her right hand was writing and drawing in her notebook from time to time.

No wonder she had put those two balls on the workbench.

Holding one position for a long time, the two large and heavy masses can really become a burden.

I remember Amanda Seyfried muttering in private, saying that her back hurts and her legs cramps, it seems that it is really possible.

Ronan secretly praised it in his heart, he deserved to be a professional-level senior technical nerd, not only his skills could stand the test, but even his posture was taken into account.

Serious attitude, professional and technical, the asking price is not very high, the appearance is extremely good, and he also brings his own bedding.

Where to find such an editor?

If the final film of "Human Eradication Project" is not bad, you can consider establishing a long-term relationship with this veteran tech nerd.

Ronan waited for his eyes to feel a little better, went to pick up two glasses of water, one glass of water was placed within Jessica Felton's reach, and was just about to sit back and continue to watch the camera, when the phone suddenly rang.

The classic Nokia ringtones were unusually harsh in this relatively quiet editing room, and before Ronan could pull out her phone, Jessica Felton turned her head, her bright blue eyes sharp and sharp, as if she was going to eat people at any moment.

It was clear that the female editor was very unhappy with the ringtone that was interrupting her work.

"I'm sorry. Ronan quickly took out his mobile phone, hung up the phone first, and said, "I won't bring my phone in next time." ”

He hurried out of the editing room like a student who had made a mistake and had been caught by a teacher.

It wasn't until he was far away from the door of the editing room that Ronan picked up his phone and was about to call someone back, but when he looked down, he was not holding his own phone at all!

This is clearly the phone Jessica Felton handed him before!

It's all to blame for Nokia's ringtones.

Ronan couldn't help but shake his head, remembering his previous words, he still called back the number he had just called.

The phone was immediately connected, and a sweet female voice rang in the receiver: "Hello, this is Green Real Estate, we have just launched a sea view apartment, facing the sea ......"

Ronan cut off the phone directly, it's only the end of the nineties, and the telemarketing is so arrogant?

Pulling out two mobile phones, all of them on silent, he returned to the editing room with his hands and feet.

In the days that followed, Ronan spent hours each day in the editing room watching the camera, and occasionally when Jessica Felton took a break, the two would discuss editing style.

After the arrival of July, other post-production staff have also joined the work.

During this period, Ronan didn't go to the editing room for a while because he had to deal with the company's work, and when he went again, it was simply miserable.
