One person on a production team that has some of the most underrated power is the editor. The editor can be a decision maker of how long you hold on a particular look or frame, crafting how the story is told and the feel of the film or tv show. Shawn Paper is a renowned editor that has edited shows like Parks and Rec, Vampire Diaries, and the Netflix hit show, Outer Banks. He gives a behind the scenes look at how long it takes to edit the shows, what it's like working with the director, and advice for budding editors. He also gives some behind the scenes of his most recent project, a Sundance Film Festival movie, Love, Brooklyn.
