The last two sessions have all been picture, but this final session on Editorial Turnover focuses on sound- what too expect from sound editorial, how an Assistant Editor can best support the sound finishing crew in pulling everything together, and what’s required to get the best out of any mix sessions on your project.

If you're working currently as an Assistant Editor, or you aspire to work in an editorial department of any of the projects going through New York right now, these sessions will educate and inform you as to how to nail this crucial part of any editorial project.
