On this episode of the podcast, Shawn Paper ACE joins us to discuss editing Sony Pictures' The Broken Hearts Gallery. Prior to his turn on the Avid in this film, you've seen Shawn's work in such fan favorites as Parks and Recreation, Girls, Crashing, What We Do in the Shadows, Veep, Ugly Betty and Flight of the Conchords…literally just to name a few. Notice a trend there? Shawn knows his way around cutting comedy and that certainly is a topic we hit upon for a stretch in the podcast. In our examination of editing The Broken Hearts Gallery, we discuss; the hidden challenges of cutting seemingly simple three-act romantic comedies, the differences and similarities between cutting comedy for tv and film, as well as how diegetic vs non-diegetic sound can affect how an audience feels about a scene.
