As an aspiring editor who would like to get into short-form productions (commercials, music videos, shorts)... I thank you, bigtimes.

Great link... the first one for VW was phenomenal.

I'm an editor, and this guy probably makes more in one week than I'll see in a year. I should've gone into commercials.

I wonder how many video editors are on MeFi? I'm one, too.

I might be a little biased, but I think editing can make or break a film(video, commercial, short, ect).

So, you're telling me that whenever I see an advert and don't cry out in pain, this guy was the one who panned for the gold?
What a showoff.


However, I have a warm, gentle place in my heart for him for this.
