For many filmmakers and artists, the elusive world of Television Production can seem intimidating and impossible to penetrate. In my chat with Janis Vogel, we demystify post production and editing, discussing secret tricks of the trade. \n\nJanis Vogel is an editor (and assistant editor) for feature films, music videos, documentaries, and her impressive TV work includes credits on MTV\u2019s \u201cTeen Mom\u201d, \u201c16 and Pregnant\u201d, AMC\u2019s \u201cFeed the Beast\u201d and most recently a TNT series pilot called \u201cCivil\u201d. When she first started in the industry, Janis thought, \u201cThis is too fun, this is a passion. I can\u2019t do this for money!\u201d-- She was wrong. \n\nWe\u2019ll uncover some of the industry\u2019s best kept secrets, including a union which offers freelance editors perks like health insurance. Janis describes the process of editing for reality shows, and at major post houses. We also compare and contrast how editing varies between industries, formats and genres. Tips for editing like a pro, organizing your projects, and overcoming the physical pain of sitting down all day. NERD ALERT! We get super technical. Which application does Janis call the \u201cGrand Piano of NLE\u2019s\u201d? Find out what is industry standard and how to transition into whatever genre or position you desire. \n\nAs co-president of the Blue Collar Post Collective, she also gives us the lowdown about Post Production education, tech talks, editor conversations, troubleshooting help, networking opportunities and lots of great programs that can get you hired. \n\nRead a transcription of this podcast here: http://bit.ly/2rF4eU5\n\nLinks:\nFREE Photoshop tutorial: www.LauraMeoli.com/FREEBIE\nThe Sound Live: www.TheSoundLive.com\n\nJanisVogel.com\nwww.BlueCollarPostCollective.com\nBPCP Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BCPANY/\n\nEditor\u2019s union: www.editorsguild.com\n\u201cIn the Blink of an Eye\u201d Editing book: http://amzn.to/2blfCvS\nFitness in Post: www.fitnessinpost.com\n\nFind out more about me: www.LauraMeoli.com\nFollow me on the social media: @LoudaVision\n\nThe LoudaVision podcast is also available on iTunes and YouTube for your convenience.
