Editor's Cut
Hey everyone. Aaron here. You may have noticed me in one or two clips from the first episode we shot at The Staircase Theatre. For those who don’t know who I am, I am actually JR’s show editor/Music Composer and his very first volunteer dating back about 6 months. Although I haven’t been getting any up front recognition on camera, it looks like I am now a little bit which is kinda cool I guess. In case some of you aren’t aware JR landed his first major sponsor for Another Crappy Canadian Late Night Talk show so guess which volunteer was first on the list to start getting paid to work on the show. ME!
As I was saying I was the first volunteer JR had to help him with this show, which has been interesting to say the least. JR can barely find his way around a basic email program, and thinks GOOGLE is some sort of pasta dish, let alone be able to edit a half hour episode by himself every week. So I am here to review and assemble hours and hours and hours (I can keep going) of raw footage. But being the editor for a nationally broadcast television show isn’t all the glitz and glamour that people might think. It’s actually a long, tedious, head bashing, disturbing, please somebody take a dull object and jam it into my eye process.
For example, take last week’s episode. To the viewer it (I hope) was funny... For me it was three fourteen hour days of this...
That is a mere taste of what I have to deal with on a daily basis. The sound emitted from Kayvon, can make your eyes pop out of your head. I don’t understand how that much noise can come out of a person that small. JR never believed me when I said I have to go lie down after a day of editing Kayvon because my headache was so painful. He believes me now since I pulled a Clockwork Orange on him and pinned his eyelids open and forced him to watch. He caved at about 9 minutes.
However being the editor for Another Crappy Canadian Late Night Talk Show does have some perks. The big perk being I get to see and have access to all of the footage that is shot on a daily basis, which gives me one hell of an idea. I am going to start posting an “Editors Cut” every week right here on this blog. I’ll show you everything from JR getting angry to stuff that they would never allow on Television. JR never checks this blog anyways so I thought it would be something cool for you the viewer to see. I’ll keep posting each week unless I run out of good footage (but that will never happen) or until JR finds out what I am doing and I will be demoted to toilet duty. Which to be fair to toilet duty is sometimes better than editing Kayvon. So be sure to check back here every week.
To start, check this out. This is a clip from the last episode shot at the Staircase Theatre captured between takes when JR thought the cam was off. We were running a little behind. We had about 7 minutes of shooting time left available and JR had about 40 minutes left of material that he had to get through. Needless to say he wasn’t too happy about it. Oh yes and that’s me at the beginning slating the shot. This show is so low budget we don’t even have anything to klack and are forced to use our hands! Enjoy and I will catch you guys next week.
