What’s a filmmaker to do when they have a lot of footage but not a lot of time (or money) to edit? Paper edits. Paper edits allow you to visualize and “read” your work before you invest time with an editing program. With a good logging technique and a thorough or even annotated tran- scription, paper edits can save you time and money. Bring your footage and let an experienced documentarian show you the ropes. Intended for first-time filmmakers.
