Using the actual, full projects — with the original source media — that he’s worked on in the past as a guide, Adam will illustrate just what goes into each piece, showing the techniques unique to each project can be used to plus your own editorial and post production work.

The "Cutting Edge Editing & Post Production Tour" Review | Fstoppers

The premise for the Cutting Edge Tour headed up by Adam Epstein, five year veteran video editor and post production guru for Saturday Night Live, was a tricky one. I know because I spent a few days bouncing ideas around with him and looking at how to structure the thing. This review will set out specifically what you will (and won’t) find in the workshop.

Student Filmmaker Interview with Adam Epstein

Are there any tips that you would recommend for student filmmakers?

Adam: My main tip for student filmmakers, or really for anyone who wants to work in a creative field, is to just go out and make as much stuff as you can. There is no better way to learn and improve than through experience, repetition and by figuring out how to correct the mistakes you will make. Don't worry about things being perfect right from the get-go...just get out there and make things.

Student Filmmaker Interview with Adam Epstein

What footage will you use to teach the course? (Anything that our readers would know?)

Adam: When it comes to showing how specific projects I've worked on for the SNL Film Unit came together, I will be using the original source material, giving attendees the full scope of what goes into these types of projects. We will also look at classic film scenes, commercials and other pieces that have inspired and taught me along the way and analyze those in a more theory-based manner

Student Filmmaker Interview with Adam Epstein

Are attendees required to use different editing systems and software during the workshops? Or is there a specific system and software you focus on?

Adam: I feel that the software / NLE's that one chooses to use is a matter of personal taste based on their needs and the needs of the project. That being said, I personally prefer to use Adobe Premiere CC as my go-to NLE along with the rest of the Creative Cloud. For the type of work and the timelines we deal with in the SNL Film Unit, it makes the most sense for our particular needs.

Student Filmmaker Interview with Adam Epstein

Are there any pre-requisites?

Adam: I wouldn't say that there are any pre-requisites -- in theory you could know "nothing" about post and find the workshop informative and interesting, but I'd say that having a basic knowledge of some of the technical foundations of editing wouldn't hurt.

Student Filmmaker Interview

Can you tell us about the Post Production curriculum and objectives?

Adam: There will be a balance between the technical, the theoretical, and the interpersonal. By breaking down what goes into working on different styles of pieces -- promos, short films, commercials, trailers -- the different techniques used will give a much broader knowledge base than a straight ahead "how to" type of workshop.

Student Filmmaker Interview with Adam Epstein

Tell us about the workshops you're teaching at the MZed Post Production Tours. What sets the post production workshops apart from other editing workshops out there?

Adam: My workshop will be an expansive look into the many facets that go into modern post-production, showing how I go from a blank timeline to a finished, broadcast-ready piece. While we will also be talking about classic editing theory, what sets this workshop apart is the fact that attendees will be able to see how pieces that they know and recognize come to fruition from start to finish, using the original source media.
