Manhattan Edit Workshop Six Week Workshop Student Profile – Heather Smith from Manhattan Edit on Vimeo.
The good folks at Manhattan Edit Workshop (Mewshop to you) quote one of their guest artists in residence, Michael Tronick (editor, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Scent of a Woman) as positing that “My only advice to aspiring editors is this: learn Avid, learn Final Cut Pro, learn After Effects.”
That line-up constitutes the core of what the lower Manhattan-based school offers in one of its regular Six Week Intensive courses; this one starts soon, on March 1st. With its $5,850 tab, it’s not cheap, but you’re promised a five-day, 10 to 5 regimen that over six weeks teaches those software apps that seem to be the basic toolkit of choice for today’s editor.
If you do show up you’ll also meet Mewshops’ current Artist in Residence; create a “pro” editor’s reel; garner a “connection” to a least fifteen post facilities (hopefully ones that are actually looking to put on editors); and walk off with extras including a free ticket to the upcoming EditFest NY 2010, co-sponsored with the American Cinema Editors guild.
