I’m currently through the first three movies. I absolutely loved all three of them. Great work!

The only note I really have is in the third movie (and it is minor). When Syril sees the news on the tv about the Aldhani heist, it is 45 minutes into the movie. By this time, Andor has already been back home to see Maarva and Bix, and gone again. Then he’s on Niamos and seems to have been there a while. He has a place that he is living and with a girl, and talking about grocery shopping. They seem pretty settled in. All this has happened and when Syril sees the news, and it is presented as “breaking news”. I know there is no way to rearrange scenes, but if the news could be reframed as more of a news story than a “breaking” news story it would help that.

Keep up the great work EddieDean!

Yeah, that one was a tricky decision. We ended up justifying it as the Coruscant news being controlled by the Empire, but yes, it slightly stands out. It’s so necessary though in order to permit this tighter ordering.

Hey Eddie, I have a question about your process. I know you said when you’re planning and organizing an edit, you figure out the ending you want first and then work backwards from there. Is that how you actually edit once you get started, or do you start cutting from the beginning like normal?

It depends, but I’ve definitely done it both ways. By the end of my Clone Wars series, I was absolutely editing the longer arcs which needed less radical changes back to front in five minute increments, and I found I could basically edit the entire episode to a great standard in a single pass. But by then I’d done dozens, so doing things like polishing transitions in the moment (rather than all afterwards) didn’t interrupt my flow.

Andor was a different beast. Definitely the planning for each arc was done back to front, especially with all the content that ended up in the final episode. Those required far more shuffling around though, and perhaps 90% planning to 10% execution, since there was just so much shuffling to do.

But yes, it’s absolutely viable. For your twelve-in-one edit, so long as you’ve identified what your ending needs to be, and perhaps put that together so you know exactly how it feels, you could totally just rewind through the show from there. You’d probably need to revise it a few times after (I always put cut content to one side until I’m certain I’m finished), but I find that the process really helps me judge whether or not a scene or a moment belongs.

Pick your payoff moment, then choose all the other content that earns it.
