Talking Editing for Reality TV with Greg Whitlow

This week reality tv editor Greg Whitlow (Ridiculousness, Bridezillas) breaks down not only how to craft a 30 minute story from 100 hours of raw footage, but how to up the emotion of those 30 minutes to an eleven. We dig into what makes an assistant editor stand out and how to avoid the trap of getting good at one genre. He discusses how to break down a show in order to pick up on its tendencies and the amount of of Keeping Up With The Kardasians he watches for research. Lastly we talk about why stubbornness is more valuable than confidence, relationships more important than being right, and just moving to Los Angeles because you’re going to end up there anyway.
