Lets bring this thread back. As more and more places adhere to reality due to budget decreases, more and more work flows are introduced. I like actual reality. Non-scripted. That’s what reality is to me. Today there is very little of that. The last “reality” show I worked on had a crew of a half dozen, having the shop they were shooting at do it over and over. Then I edited together what was there, then wrote to it to make it make sense, then they went out and reshot a lot. Doing it this way, we could just go back to how it use to be, write something ideal, go shoot that, then put it together under budget.
The reason I love editing non scripted programming is I get to tell the story in post. And that makes my job the most creative in the entire process.
