2000 Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Miniseries, Movie or Special The editing of a television movie requires a mixing of styles and genres.
TV movies are similar to feature films in terms of their length and, often, their themes.
But they have to account for commercial breaks and usually are shot more like episodic TV shows. Here, three of the nominees in this complex, wide-ranging category discuss their approach, opinions and techniques. After they were done shooting, we had about eight weeks to cut 'Annie,' and it went pretty quickly. A couple of days after they were done shooting, I completed an editor's cut of the movie. Because Rob was so prepared on the set, the actual editing was not that difficult.
