Re: [Avid-L2] Re: The "tape is dead" thread

Yeah, but I'm talking about a DOCUMENTARY editor.

I just helped cut a feature and we needed some extra shots during editing and we got them, but I worked on a lot of docs - mostly as an on-line editor, but working hand-in-hand with off-line cutters that I knew and talked to, and had never heard of a doc cutter sending her director back out for more shots.

It's cool that your wife is given the power to help determine the needed shots for her projects.

These reshoots happen after the director has worked with the editor so I can't say who is making the call but clearly the editor would have some say in what additional material might be needed. My wife offlines reenactment based crime shows and after the radio cut is done she sits down with the producer and director to tell them the coverage she needs before they begin shooting the reenactments. This has proven to be a more efficient use of production resources. So the editor's input on pick up shoots etc... might not be as rare as you think.
