[Avid-L2] Editors Periodic Table of Transitions

 

Over the past year and a half I have been cutting three of the four hours for the special Nova series Fabric of the Cosmos. You can see a trailer here:

But now, as I am not working around the clock, I have turned my eye once again to the book on documentary editing.

One part that I always wanted to include was a periodic table of transitions and their emotional translations. For example. Dissolves are contemplative, Wipes are ironic, Cuts (the king of all transitions) are forthright.

But what about pushes, page turns and other transitions? These need a space on my table as well.

So I thought I would reach out to my community and see what we could all come up with to help future generations of Documentary editors.

Plus it might fill the mind a bit while the producer is on the phone.

Jump in, if I use them I will credit you with it on the table.

Thanks all
Steve Audette
