Film Editor

One of my favorite assistant movie editors is Tom Elkins. He has worked on numerous films such as Red Eye, White Noise 2, Wanted, and The Da Vin chi Code. Last February I had the opportunity to meet him at a script writing conference. He said he had started his career by making a spoof of a Pizza Hut commercial while he was employed there. One of my favorite scenes he had talked about was in White Noise 2 how in one shot the main charachter is wearing a pair of clothes. And in the next shot he is wearing a different pair and no one ever noticed. Also in Red Eye I enjoyed the fast paced camera work at parts and how it was edited and put together in a good understandable sequence.

pans labyrinth. this movie is exhilarating and moving. it starts with the editor Evan schaff. he uses objects and material to switch swiftly between scenes. he uses objects around the people in the scenes to switch scenes and doesnt just switch he is very smart and this movie is worth every second put into it.
