Irish Screen Editors (ISE) will be hosting a webinar on the roles and responsibilities of assistant editors, particularly in the fields of high end TV drama and feature films. The webinar will consist of a panel of highly experienced assistant editors as well as an editor who made the transition from assistant editor in recent years and this panel will discuss the typical workflows for TV drama and film, the importance of the assistant editor in the post production pipeline and the skills and knowledge required for the job. Being an assistant editor is an extremely important, if somewhat undervalued, part of the post production process and ISE intends,through this webinar, to highlight the role and demonstrate its value.
This webinar will be ideal for students who are considering a career in post production. It will be held on Saturday the 11th of September at 15:00, The link to show your interest is on our Facebook Page HERE, and a link to sign up to the event below. We feel that this will be a very useful event for any students interested in pursuing editing as a career.
