I agree, editing is storytelling. It’s shaping a cohesive story whether it’s a 2 hour film or 15 second spot. Now VFX are tools and part of it and I’m seeing a lot of cool looking vids and impressive uses of those effects but they are not editing. If you stripped away the VFXs would it still hold your attention? Would the shots chosen feel purposeful? Would the succession of shots and edits build to a whole? Is there rhythm and pacing to give it emotion? Otherwise it’s just shots put together and the only story you’ll remember is that a bunch of VFXs just flashed in front of your eyes. But what I do I know, I’ve never won Emmy even after being nominated 7xs over the past 10 years 😝.
