Are you a Button Monkey?

  • A button monkey, also known as a button pusher, is an industry term for editors who struggle to come up with creative ideas.
  • The best editors possess five key traits: curiosity, collaboration, humility, brilliance, and compassion.
  • Curiosity can be developed by exploring new techniques, experimenting with different styles, seeking inspiration from other video editors, asking questions, being open to feedback, and continuously learning.
  • Video editors should always be open to learning and trying new things to develop new skills and techniques that can enhance their editing abilities.
  • Experimenting with different styles and editing techniques can spark creativity and curiosity.
  • Seeking inspiration from other video editors can teach new ways to approach editing and expand the knowledge of the craft.
  • Great storytelling skills can help editors avoid being labeled as a button pusher.
