SKELETON CREW

Art of the Cut

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with the three editors of the Disney+/LucasFilm show Skeleton Crew which is from the Star Wars story universe.

Editor Andrew Eisen, ACE, has been on Art of the Cut before to talk about The Mandalorian for which he’s been nominated for two Emmys. He’s edited feature films including The Imitation Game and A House with a Clock in its Walls and was an additional editor on Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Terel Gibson, ACE, also edited the recently released feature film The Astronaut, as well as the feature films Sorry to Bother You and Ready or Not. He also edited episodes of the TV series Hawkeye.

Kathryn Naranjo was an editor on Stranger Things and has been an assistant editor on feature films including The Adam Project, and Free Guy, also on TV series including Halt and Catch Fire.

This discussion includes - among other things - cutting the show three times: in storyboards, previs, and finally with live action footage from The Volume, how sound creates believable world-building, and when exactly do you use a “Star Wars Wipe.”
