  • Experimental vs Incidental Learning
    Jul 20 2024

    In this quick episode, Piotr uses learning to ride his electric unicycle BACKWARDS as an analogy to discuss with Ricky the way we learn editing. The words intentionally, incidentally, experimentally and accidentally are thrown around, but what it boils down to is that being a good editor isn't something you learn in a book; It's something that comes with years of doing it repeatedly; finding out new things along the way by accident or experimentation. Also, in this episode we hear about Ricky's house-moving whoas, his trip to Copenhagen and watching Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. Plus, Piotr mentions the Polish Netflix series, 1670.


    Can you ride a unicycle backwards?

  • Gear for Film & Video Editors
    Jul 13 2024

    Episode 15 is all about Erwann and Piotr’s gear. They talk about what equipment they use in their home suites and even what they bring to onsite jobs. Erwann loves his mouse and so does Piotr! They run through their headphones, speakers, mics, keyboards, monitors and even touch on control surfaces, stream decks, kitchen timers and something about a new foot pedal contraption. To be clear - fancy equipment or even a lot of equipment do not prove that you are a good editor. All the gear the guys have now, they’ve accrued overtime and are comfortable with and that’s what makes the difference. Also, Piotr mentions Parkinson’s Law in regards to time management and they share the stand-out movies from their week - Piotr - Kramer vs Kramer; Erwann - “Infestation”
