Editing Inspiration-

Editing is an important part of filmmaking and I want to take inspiration from unique and creative editors, who preferably have connections to animation as that is something I am very interested in. Because of all of these factors, I chose to look at the work of Andrew Weisblum, an American film and visual effects editor, who has often worked alongside Wes Anderson in his live action and animated films. Andrew Weisblum himself is credited for editing a total of nineteen films, with two more in development, including Fantastic Mr. Fox, Black Swan (which he won an academy award for), and Isle of Dogs. He describes his style as precise, and uses storyboards and animatics to plan certain parts of the film. He also has a background in visual effects, as well as traditional film, and uses these skills often, like editing backgrounds and certain details while cutting and assembling the film, making his process more organised and fitting into his creative vision better and elevate the story.
