Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Axel Geddes, ACE about the latest Pixar film, Hoppers.

Axel and I talked previously about Toy Story 4 for which he won an ACE Eddie. He also has Annie nominations for Best Editing for Toy Story 4, Toy Story of Terror, and Lightyear. His other credits include Finding Dory, and second editor or additional second editor work on Lightyear, Turning Red, Toy Story 3, and WALL-E.

Today’s discussion includes how a character’s POV affects the film’s  score, the editor’s role in sculpting the performance of a single shot, and how being a musician can help an editor in ways you may not have considered - maybe it’s time to take up the ukulele…
