So I’m not really posting this as a "critique" but more looking for some opinion and advice. We had a good character, a real firecracker I threw the lav on her and got some decent sound while she was working. Here’s my issue. I didn’t actually shoot the interview with her, another photog did, no complaints there. I got all my needed b-roll etc. By the time we got to writing, editing etc we were up against the wall. We had a few equipment issues that put us up against the wall and then had to shoot a looklive because as you can see the sky behind my reporter we had nasty storms roll in. All in all I had about 15 minutes to edit.

The beginning turned out well but it got to a point with shooting the looklive etc the second half basically had to be quick wallpaper because of the time crunch.

I learned to edit tape to tape so I still assemble pkgs the same way, lay the track and sots and then go cover and sprinkle in nats as I go thanks to NLE, I can obviously insert more as I cover the pkg or switch them around.

Anyway I guess what I’m looking for even though I’ve been doing this a while if anyone has any advice on how they edit under a time crunch I’d be happy to hear any tips. Always looking to grow in the craft everyday.

Thanks!
