• The kind of slicing and dicing that goes into crafting an engaging movie trailer rivals that of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Distilling 90 minutes (or more) into a digestible, two-minute sequence is no easy task, but it also presents editors with the opportunity to have a little fun. For example, what if Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining lost its macabre sense of doom and replaced it with the lightheartedness of a romantic comedy? Or, say, if video editors transformed The Sound of Music‘s singsongy Maria Von Trapp into a coldblooded killer? These are just two examples of editing’s transformative power.
