latest editing trends

Well, call it a bad idea or not, one of our current projects in house has 16 2-camera interviews…….and that’s it. No broll or cutaways, only adding motion graphic ‘transitions’ between talking points. We HAVE to use multiple frames to keep this thing moving along visually, or else it’s dead. In this particular case, it’s a good idea that needs to be done and is motivated by absolute necessity.

As I said in my original post, I use plenty of PIP effects. Laparoscopic surgery has at least two cameras going (inside the body and overhead) and sometimes two outside cameras. When appropriate, I’ll show 2 or 3 shots at once.

When appropriate is the key.

All the time is overkill and not interesting – but there are of course exceptions to all rules.

The only time I think I’ve used multi-screens or PIP in a long-form piece is when I’d have more shots that I wanted or needed to show than I had time to show them all one at a time.
