Really good editing - Jemina

I wanted to find some examples where the main connecting thing is editing, because when using footage from different sources it can bring it all together. I remembers a video I saw a couple years back where this cinematographer made travel videos and the editing was just brilliant.


Apparently he travelled for 23 days and took videos on his travels. When you look at the separate shots they are obviously great quality and great shots, but they wouldn't have the same effect without the brilliant editing. The way he uses transitions between clips makes the video a flowing experience. He used sone in-camera effects and "animates" to use as transition cuts: people who pass in front of a shop, a pan or stilt shot behind fences, a woman who covers the shot with her hand etc. This makes the story continue and connect in a way normal transitions don't succeed at.

On top of the editing on the video he did an amazing job with the sounds mixing ambients from the footage and the music. People generally say the power of any film comes 50% from the audio, Leonardo believes it's more like 80%. He used over 3000 sound bites to put together the amazing audios in the video. Below is a picture of the audio layers from his project in Final Cut Pro X.
