We're Making A Movie: Editing a Feature Film

We're Making A Movie: Talking Editing with Brice Beckham

Editing a movie of any size is pure magic. Fight us on it. And nowhere is that magic more apparent than in the fine edit—the moment you stop assembling footage and start truly shaping the story. Performances change. Scenes evolve. Entire emotional arcs can appear out of thin air. It’s wild. To dig deeper into the process, we’re sitting down with industry veteran Brice Beckham. Brice has worn a lot of hats throughout his entertainment career, but this week we’re picking his editor brain. As we begin the post-production journey on Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think, we want to understand what really happens when a movie starts becoming THE movie. Brice Beckham has been in the entertainment industry for over 40 of his 50 years, gaining notoriety early in his role as Wesley on the ‘80s series Mr. Belvedere. Since moving behind the camera, he has written, produced, edited, designed, and animated for clients, brands, and networks such as Breaking Bad, Eric Clapton, Volvo, Audi, Subway, Kraft, VH1, AMC, IFC, and countless others.

We're Making A Movie: Talking Editing with Daniel Lowman

Let’s dig in on the editing process and start talking to some real deal editors! First up to bat, we’ve got Daniel Lowman. Coming from a documentary background but with hands-on experience in narrative filmmaking, Daniel lives in the realm of taking all of the footage, performances, and chaos from production and shaping it into something that actually works on screen. We’re taking a look at the editing process from his perspective- how he approaches building a story in post, and what filmmakers should be thinking about before they ever hand footage over to an editor. Because at the end of the day, you can shoot everything in the world… but it’s in the edit where the film really comes to life. Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/ Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056 Daniel Lowman is a director and editor based in Utah, driven by the belief that “passion will find an audience.” His creative curiosity has led him to collaborate with some of the most niche and fascinating individuals across the globe. As a Production Manager at Trademark Films, Daniel plays a vital role in producing multiple documentaries each year. When he’s not on set or in the editing bay, he’s likely spending time with his wife and two sons or at the forge as a hobbyist blacksmith.

We're Making A Movie: Editing a Feature Film

Editing your first feature film!?!? We are right there with you! We’re officially kicking off our post-production era on We’re Making a Movie, starting with breaking down the editing process—what the steps are, who’s involved when, and what actually happens between “in the can” and “picture lock.” To be clear, WE aren’t editing the movie; our amazing director has taken on that mammoth task, but we want to learn everything we can. Since we record live, we’re figuring it out in real time right alongside you. If you’re trying to make your first feature film and don’t know what comes next… welcome to the party.

We're Making A Movie: Moving Into Post-Production

We’re officially wrapping up the production chapter of this filmmaking podcast and diving headfirst into post-production research. Now that the movie is “in the can,” what’s next? When will it be ready? What is taking so long??? Well, turns out, getting the green light can take years, filming happens in the blink of an eye, but post-production takes for-ev-er! (Okay, maybe not… but it certainly feels that way.) Your movie has to go to a lot of different departments before it’s ready to be seen by the world. Color-grading, sound mixing, title sequences… just to name a few. There is a long list of people who put their creative mark on the project in these final stages. So let's get in there and learn everything we can about the Post-Production phase of bringing this movie to life!

We're Making A Movie: The Lighting Department

The Gaffer is one of those film jobs most people have heard of, but very few could actually explain. And honestly, even filmmakers can get fuzzy on where the line between G&E, grip, and electric really lives. But after making our first feature, we can tell you this… a great Gaffer changes everything. We’re sitting down with our Gaffer, Shane Hunter, who worked his magic on Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think. We’re talking about what the job actually is, what working on our movie looked like, and just how much movie magic happens in the lighting. Shane turned day into night, made a powerless house work on screen, and fought off every rogue flare from passing cars. Join us for a full conversation on all things light, electric, and the kind of behind-the-scenes wizardry that makes a movie actually look like a movie. Meet Shane: Shane Hunter is a Gaffer living in Knoxville, TN, working across the southeast and the country. When he's not working, he enjoys cycling, photography, backpacking, and spending time with his wife and two dogs! @horizongrip @askforshane Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/ Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056 We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.
