and here’s what’s on page 38…
There’s even a vague bio of me on page 66 too! Registration is a snap, unless you’re a grumbling curmudgeon.
The Enhanced Editorial outline in progress. I trust it’s more intriguing than it is obscure.
Workshop 1: Editorial Research Expedition

• I am my own education
• JKL, IO my! YOUR first silent film
• Fasten seatbelts, A Brief Mind Boggling Tour of Post-Production

Workshop 2: Why does editing work? – Part 1
• It just works, that’s all! <- the short version
• Are we allowed to know that?
• Arm chair cognition, the science
• What about art?
Workshop 3: The continuum – Color, VFX, Text, Sound and Why does editing work (Part 2)
Color
• Color in early film… really? George Melies, Cecile B Demille
• Color Grading – fundamental and fancy. Matching scenes OR creating a mood – • • Matrix, Pee Wee’s big Adventure
Text
• What’s text tells – Helvetica, Gary Hustwit, 2007

Everything else
Workshop 4: Invisible Art, not so much
Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Tahir Shah. Feroze to Tahir… “I’m searching for those whose lives depend on deception: for those who conjure miracles for the masses.”
• Classic HW style or Just Say No (to reality), a retrospective
• Where are we Toto?
• Armchair cognition revisited
• Fast is slow
• Stealth vs Surprise
Workshop 5: What is good?
• Appropriate the super organism – Storytelling
• Does it rock? Maybe…
• Make some serious mistakes
• A message from the central office (embrace your mediocrity)
• Come with me if you want to live!
• Beyond editorial – take the first step, you decide, personal hygiene

Though both options will have similar outlines, Option 2 is not a repeat of Option 1. We’ll go deeper into the concepts and practice, covering the fundamentals with new twists and insights. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, Practice, Practice.
Note – The fourth Wednesday of every month will be moved to the Inside Out Gallery and Enhanced Editing will be merged with the general meeting of the Michigan Movie Makers.
