This is so great. Mark is a great guy - I've worked with his wife on a couple movies. Being an AD, your channel has been really insightful about the post process for me. Thanks for sharing with us.
12:50 is exactly why I love this channel. Thank you for allowing us to see this process. You're answering almost every question I have when it come to the editing side of production. I've only just started watching this channel, but seeing what you teach has helped me incredibly with my editing. It would be great to be as fluent in these details as you are. Thanks
I watched these videos 6 years ago when they were released, but I'm revisiting them because now I'm editing my own first feature, and I just really want to thank you and Mark for letting this happen. It's so enormously helpful to get to see the movie go from rough material to a finished product and I realize now how terrifying it must've been to allow this to happen as a director. But at the same time, if it wasn't my first feature film as an editor and I was a little more secure in what the end product would become, I'd almost want to share my process too, because it's such an amazing journey to share with others!
What a GREAT episode that truly expresses the dynamic, creative collaboration that happens when there is a good relationship between director and editor that's based on trust and trying to tell the best version of the story possible. Thanks for creating this series! 👍
Happy Birthday Mark Webber! And thank you so much for allowing This (great) Guy (who) Edits your movie to show us your footage. It means a lot to us who eager to become indie filmaker. Have a wonderful day! Also thank you, Sven Pope.
seriously, you guys did a splendid job. this is one of those special film i am going to watch repeatedly in my life. made me instant fan of mark. i will be looking out for your more projects together in future. please keep doing what you do best!
Requiem for a dream was soooooo good, yet underrated! Thaks for the video. I'm currently in the process of working with an editor and trying to find the best way to communicate my vision with him. Just got the first rough cut and looking to direct him in the best way possible.
Thank you both for sharing the process of making this film. I genuinely believe this is valuable content, it's helpful for me to see the creativity and philosophy behind the editing of this film. I've already been able to apply some of the concepts from earlier episodes to my current work. Questions- For Mark: Are there any pieces of advice other directors have shared with you that have really stuck with you? If not direct advice maybe something you gleaned from just being on set with them. Also - being a well known actor yourself, has it been easier to cast your films, or do you still run into road blocks? Do you contact actors directly or still go through agents/managers - or is it a mix of both? For Sven: Toward the end of the process how regularly is the director with you, and what duration are these sessions? And when you have a session are you tackling the edit together in the moment - or are you making notes to use while you're editing on your own ?
One thing I'd be interested in is how he feels about Director's doing their own editing vs handing off the material to an editor to do the editing for them.
Hi Sven, I have a question about the revision of the "rough cut" (after meeting with the director). You start talking around 10:00 about how footage that didn't make it into the rough cut is later retrieved and cut back into the movie. Can you explain, briefly, how you would access the footage you want other than going through all the raw footage again? For example, do you typically save all your "scene selections" from the early phase of editing? If so, do you save them in another file? Thanks, I've had this question for a while now.
It all depends on you as the filmmaker. It works for Robert Rodriquez. He directs and edits and does about everything else. Collaboration is important, but if your game is to be an auteur, go for it.
Great episode! its awesome to get a look at the "thinking process" etc. while cutting a movie. (sorry for my not perfect english) I have a question to Mark and You, I´ll do it in german cuz its esaier for me : Zuerst einmal möcht ich sagen das ich sowohl ein großer Fan von Mark als auch von dir (sven) bin. Die drei Filme die ihr bisher zusammen gemacht habt, haben mir sehr geholfen allmählich meinen Stil zu finden als Regisseur und Editor. Meine Fragen an euch: 1.(an Mark): Du hast hier im video ja bereits erwähnt das du bei "The end of Love" einen punkt erreicht hast wo du zu dir gesagt das " So will ich Filme machen" Welche Faktoren haben dabei eine rolle gespielt? Gab es besonders hervorzuhebene personen die dich inspiriert oder geprägt haben. 2.(an Sven): Du hast ja schon mal eine frage von mir beantwortet in der du erzählt hast wie du angefangen hast. Soweit ich das richtig verstanden/nachgeforscht habe, konntest du direkt mit james cameron zusammenarbeiten. Wie war das für dich als "neuling" und gabs noch andere die dich geprägt haben, beim finden deines Stils? Gruüße aus deutschland :)
vielen vielen Dank! :) Kann es kaum erwarten. Danke das du sowas ermöglichst nicht nur direkt fragen an dich und einen tollen director zu stellen sondern auch das du uns teilhaben lässt an dem ganzen Prozess :)

This was really cool to see. I can imagine it's terrifying having your film split up publicly prior to release, what a champ.
yep. so far the comments have been mostly kind. That it makes it a bit easier to share work in progress :)
BIG "thank you" to Mark Webber for letting this happen!
And thank you for your channel, Sven. Very informative and fun to watch.
OMG. He is in scott pilegrim vs. the world!!!!
For the band.....for the band.....for the band

Thank you for your kind words. It's always nice to read that this might be helpful or inspiring.

It's also a PR move. I mean I came on this channel because I just wanted a "Let's edit video" And now I have a compelling need to watch that movie!
Question:
How much arguing happens over the course of the edit?
What a GREAT episode that truly expresses the dynamic, creative collaboration that happens when there is a good relationship between director and editor that's based on trust and trying to tell the best version of the story possible. Thanks for creating this series! 👍
Great episode. Really enjoying this channel. Thanks for taking the time/effort to produce it!
2018 and there are still thankfull people around, like me, that was great!
Happy Birthday Mark Webber!
And thank you so much for allowing This (great) Guy (who) Edits your movie to show us your footage. It means a lot to us who eager to become indie filmaker. Have a wonderful day!
Also thank you, Sven Pope.
thank you. Sven Pape btw :)

How was it? Did him understand what you wanted?
Great man. Love to see this.

Thank you for letting us into your process =)
wow, thanks a lot for sharing this
Thanks for sharing the process. I would like to know if Mark is holding an idea of how he would edit the scene while shooting it?
1:10 - The b roll addition was good, but distracted me from the interview causing unnecessary pauses
Edit: the film clips were very distracting
One thing I'd be interested in is how he feels about Director's doing their own editing vs handing off the material to an editor to do the editing for them.

Thanks brother your amezing
What if you're an editor who also wants to direct? Would you say that it can hurt the process because you don't have a second opinion?
It all depends on you as the filmmaker. It works for Robert Rodriquez. He directs and edits and does about everything else. Collaboration is important, but if your game is to be an auteur, go for it.
