Editing

Television editors are responsible for taking video footage and clips for a television show, documentary or movie and cropping, blending and syncing them together in order to produce a professional quality piece of work for the final version. Editors work closely with directors, producers and camera operators to ensure the vision of the project is realized. Previous interns have been placed at companies such as Geiger Post, Ping Pong Productions, and others.

What to Expect:
Editing Interns will be placed in a studio or production company. Interns will observe postproduction of episodic, reality, variety, TV movie, and/or mini-series shows, and have exposure to film/tape non-linear, color correction, and motion graphics systems. They will also have the opportunity to sit with editors and learn an overview of offline processes, online and color correction processes, and deliverables processes.
