This is actually another example of something from the very first Avid Master Editor's workshop: Paula Heredia was there as a documentary editor. She was talking about cutting a recent doc and described all of these shots she felt she needed for the cut. One of the workshop participants asked, "How did you get these perfect shots?" Her reply, "I sent the director back out for them!"
I loved that. Of course, rarely does the editor get to demand that the director go back out and grab stuff that's needed to better tell the story, but it showed the importance and power of the editor to know what was needed to properly tell the story.
