My job is more stressful than an acute care nurse? My colleague Nathan Peracciny sent me this article, "Most Stressful Jobs in America" and it was a shocker. Why? Because "Film & Video Editor" ranked #2 overall. It's ranked as more stressful than life-and-death medical jobs involving childbirth and anesthesiology. Luckily, editing is only one dimension of my job. I direct and DP, I travel and attend interesting conferences, and I speak and write and consult. But editing is a significant part of my job, and this article helps explain why I sometimes dread doing it. This article is permission to dread it, a confirmation that it's difficult. There are many different types of film / video editing, and in all likelihood, this study refers to editors that are on tight turnaround daily deadlines - such as TV news. My project deadlines are usually more spread out and not daily or hourly. The stress of editing for me lies in the challenge of 'creating from chaos.' Let me explain. In documentary editing, and even in some of the corporate / commercial doc-style projects, the story is created in the edit. There are troves of raw footage and interviews, and no set script. For narrative films, there is a set script, and a typical shooting ratio might be 10:1 or 20:1. (20 hours of raw footage for a one hour show). Alfred Hitchcock was famous for his detailed storyboards and reduced his shooting ratio to 3:1. Since they are unscripted, documentaries are totally different. For my feature docs, the shooting ratio ranged from 100:1 to 200:1. Same for much of my corporate/commercial/commissioned work. A 5-minute film can easily have 20-50 hours of raw footage. It's always a challenge to review and absorb this much material and craft it into a story - especially at the beginning of the process, staring at a blank timeline. Like other jobs in the list, editing is high stress / high reward. The initial dive into the chaos always feels overwhelming. You're starting a million-piece puzzle. But when the story comes together - with the visuals, the music, the sound effects, the narration or dialog all working in concert - it can feel magical. To edit is to experiment. I audition different music and shots and soundbites, I try lots of combinations and sequences. I scrap everything and start over. I once confided in a fellow filmmaker that I don't think I'm a very good editor because I rarely know exactly how to edit something when I start; instead I'm very slow because I just keep trying and trying and trying things until it feels right. He said, "That's what makes you a good editor." Editing is only #2. It is not the #1 most stressful job in America. So next time I sit down to create from chaos, I will console myself with this thought: It could be worse. I could have been a Urologist. https://lnkd.in/grbAr7iN #filmeditor #videoediting #filmediting #videoeditor
