WHAT I DID
First feature as assistant editor, on a 143-day multicam shoot.
Processed dailies every shooting day: backups cloned, ingest into Avid, metadata checked against DIT and continuity reports, sync, grouping, scene bins, string-outs and rushes for the Director.
Kept an Avid cut (lead editor) and a Final Cut Pro 7 cut (assembly editor) in step by moving the project between systems.
Prepared turnovers to sound, online and VFX; archived the project and media at wrap.
