Delve deep into the post-production workflow responsible for bringing "The Bear" to life on screen. By understanding the intricacies of this process, you'll be better equipped to streamline your own editing workflows, resulting in a more efficient and professional output.
Uncut Gems meet Ratatouille is such a strangely perfect way to describe The Bear.
v tru
Immediately I went yes!
It really was😂
Spot on.
It's Michael Bay and Dutch angles, they act like they invented an art form....
I LOVE how when Carmen is giving his monologue they did no cuts. Really made it feel like you were listening in that moment to someone say something real.
The mix of Jeremy Allen White's incredible performance and flawless editing choices made that scene so captivating, I couldn't look away.
Editors are the true film makers. Everyone else's job is to create the pieces, you put them together and make the story out of the different elements.
'Fishes' into 'Forks' are two of the best episodes of TV ever created. This show is on an another level. This conversation was beautifully fascinating. Thank you!!!
Editors are truly rockstars! I love that this piece shows how much they play in the creation of the masterpieces we watch and love
(Editors are truly rockstars) when they work for directors that don’t have a clue of what they are doing, so they have to “direct” for them in the edit. A true film director (like Soderbergh or Aranofsky) get what they want int he shoot since they have a preconceived notion of how they are going to assemble the pieces. The idea of an editor that creates such an specific outcome without any specific director’s insight only informs you of how terrible most directors are at imagining and getting what they need.
@@deloreanized if the result is as great as 'The Bear' maybe it's not because the director has no vision, but because the director composed a great team and let them do their magic. In this case, especially, the show is very much about teamwork.
I couldn't click this one fast enough. I just cut a mini doc, and during the climax, I was like, "Alright, how would The Bear cut this chaotic scene...."
After finishing: did not disappoint. Thanks for an awesome interview, everyone! Editing on The Bear.... primo.
for real!! such an iconic scene, the chaotic one
To make a long story short: this style stems directly from Martin Scorsese's needle drop montages and Spike Lee's early voice over driven mash ups (heavily influenced by Scorsese). And that's that.
A lot of these “people” see something used by someone & ignorantly assume that person created that style. Never looking beyond the vail at the films that were truly being cutting edge xxx before cutting edge was cool-
Thank you for producing this. One of my favorite shows in recent memory, and it’s beautiful to hear the editors perspective. They played such an important role in this beautiful art piece.
Guys, what A LEGIT interview!!! Love it when you bring seasoned pros from the film industry. Like - LOVE IT!!!!
SO much value in these breakdowns! Thank you so much, guys!
It's amazing !!
This was a PHENOMENAL conversation and breakdown!
This is great. I love "Forks". I truly believe it's one of the best episodes of television i've ever seen. I love this show and I am so stoked to see where it goes and what happens to these beloved characters.
Phenomenal interview! I love the close attention to the art of editing and the purpose for every element. It taught me so much. One request to the The Editing Podcast: please post the guests' names on the screen. I had to go back several times to listen for them and wasn't sure I go them right. Joanna Novel and Adam Epstein? Thank you!
I love the use of music both in the show and in the podcast. These episodes are just so high quality. Both as content and as entertainment.
This is your best episode yet. Thanks for this excellent breakdown and insight from the editors
Absolutely love these videos!! It shows that how every decision artistically in the edit specifically.
great interview, I found it extremely useful
Editing is such an amazing art form. Thank you for this video. It’s really awesome to hear their perspective and what an phenomenal show, I love the bear.
Great interview...I can tell these professional editors you guys interview really appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to break down their work and get what they are trying to achieve.
I love the topic. Montages are so misunderstood (by me) because most people (me) just speed up footage at the same rate through the whole thing. But this is quite eye-opening for me
Man! These videos make me regret looking away or pausing these shows or KZhead videos in the middle, like if I don’t wait till the end I’m basically ruining the pacing.
Just found your show. So rad. Incredible work on editing this show- The Bear was so intense and inspiring. Beautiful expression of passion and excellence. This show gave me ENERGY to want to be the best at what I do. It’s certainly not cooking 😂 but the show transcends that. Bravo! 👏🏻🎬
Tbh the Chicago intro in episode 7 of season one editing is top notch in using b roll to tell a story
Thanks for showing this! Love this!
One of the best shows i've seen in a while! Big ups to the editors!
This was a wonderful episode.
REALLY well done. Thanks for sharing the insights of some masterful editors.
I love how visual this podcast is it's awesome
I loved this episode! Thanks for this kind of material! A hug from Argentina!
Love the breakdown, I learn so much from this video. Thank you so much!
What a beautiful concept. Love watching breakdowns of edits. New sub!
I love these guys, thank you, great show, and a great episode, i really loved how they described their montage in the Bear, one of my fav shows, so much gold in this episode... Love their work and they are kool people as well.
Such a fantastically insightful and generous breakdown.
Just loved the rhythm of the edit on the intro in S1E7 - love all the footage-photos- the editor choice of the music (Chicago by Sufjan Stevens) after the intro finished I just played again before watching the episode. Love your work 🫶
This was so fun and educational. I would love to see the same type of breakdown for the show Succession.
Best episode yet for the show - listened to it as a podcast and had to almost immediately REWATCH it over here on KZhead
yesssssss, obsessed with the bear and recently just found this podcast. THANKYOU!
this is the first video i watch of this channel and i love it so let's keep on it :)
Truly editors golden nuggets everywhere.
Loved watching “The Bear” so glad y’all made this video👊
I'm on my 6th rewatch of the show this month. It's so addicting.
I just saw the calm vs chaos AS just life in a kitchen. Outside of film & wresting, I spent my years working in restaurants & this series & the Waiting films are the most perfect examples of life in the industry
The Bear is my current favorite show (followed by Severance)! Glad you have an episode with the editors here.
ughhhh what i'd give to pick their brain about every second and every frame of this show!!! The Bear really is the one of the best shows I've ever seen because it does something a lot of other shows don't- respect the audience. And the editing plays a HUGE part in this- they don't compromise the pace or artistic sensibilities because they trust the audience to keep up. I CANNOT WAIT FOR SEASON 3.
best series i have watched whole year, perfectly chaotic
Great podcast. My favorite scene is the episode that focused on Ritchie’s transformation.
The Bear is one of the best Shows i've recently watched.
Perfect timing, I judged finished the bear yesterday
Yes! Great episode! More stuff like this
YASSSS YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I WANTED THE EDITOR FROM THE BEAR HERE IN MY FAVORITE PODCAST THANKS
great video. started watching the show because of this video. dope show. great artistry
Awesome insight 👏
This video is like explaining a good ballet. You need the big fast moments, and the slow small moments.
I just like this all insides about editing. It´s amazing
Been waiting for this, it was just a matter of time. Straight away became one of my favourite shows. Such good editing, just elevating the whole story 👌🏽
Thanks for helping me discover a new show about cooking Loved this episode
great podcast team well done
i really enjoy these kinda breakdowns. thanks
That's why I love editing, now I want to watch the show.
It helped me a lot! Thanks for providing such valuable info through this video 🤍 Love from India 🇮🇳
Such a great show that also inspired some of our future videos in terms of editing etc.!
The Bear showed me how intense being a chef can be. It's a show about slow built up tension
I love that Adam uses a RODE NT-USB. It's such a great affordable mic.
I got to hear Adam talk about 9 years ago while he was working on SNL films. Thanks for having him on here.
That "Tribune" tower in the opening montage is from Oakland not Chicago. @5:52 Just thought that was funny because the host goes " oh wow, what just happened?' right at that moment so I caught it.
Looks like it was a ton of fun to edit!
Nice one as always 😊❤
Incredible breakdown
Great video! Love the bear!
Love the show. Love her work. I can’t listen to her talk. “Impor’ance” is not a word. Enunciate!
The Bear is a nicely made show.
I remember you speaking about this during one of the videos where you analyze your editing for Logan!
I saw The Bear recently and...it's become my favorite show of all time. I think in part that has to do with my love for the food industry in regards to shows and films - Masterchef and Hell's Kitchen are my guilty pleasures - but the story arcs and cinematography are also masterfully done. I cared for all of the characters on a visceral level. I even needed to take a break for a few days because the emotional stakes were so high, I felt mentally stressed FOR the characters. No show or movie has ever affected me that way.
Love it.
Dope convrersation.
thank you
Such a great show man. You could just feel it while you were watching. That this was special. And put together immaculately. Guides you along on the emotional roller coaster, but not forcing it.
great editing but none of the characters had any depth. no story lines were explored, his old boss, etc. Terrible show
@@maxkingsproductionhuthave you seen the second season?
Awesome video! Hope y’all can get more guests like these two. Anybody have a connect for Edgar Wright’s editor(s)?
I love the Bear, I love this Podcast. Today is a good day. (also i liked the first title better)
Okay I'll watch The Bear again for the 4th time
I want to know, in larger channels, how do multiple editors work together? Do they all get separate parts of the video or what? That's never explained. How do two editors, with two different personalities and styles, make one uploadable video?
Big fan of this episode! Also, I hope this isn't a stupid question, but one thing that I'm really curious about is music licensing for shows like The Bear. At the beginning of the Forks episode (21:18), they use this track called "Bad News" by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, originally made for a film called Waves in 2019. I somehow had the assumption that the point of original score is to have them written specifically just for a movie (or TV show)? Or is it normal to reuse the same material?
i freaking lost it when the Thief soundtrack started playing
I would love for you guys to do a breakdown on the tv series “SNOWFALL”! And possibly get the editors of that show
Wow 😮
The jeans in the oven and ramen in the cabinet are a look into the diet and home life of a real chef. I worked in that industry for over 15 years. You work 12+ hour days 6-7 days a week. You're NEVER home. And when you are, the LAST thing you want to do when you get home is cook. You eat at work most of the time but IF you eat at home it's quick and easy.
Cut, cut, cut - rest. Cut, cut, cut - reeeeest.
Yep!
I love this show! Although there are so many great cuts, some of them are super odd. Like I couldn’t understand the message when they do the city scenes and they would rotate the scene?
Put this on the watch later system: fingers crossed for later/next time! Raza :)
I NEED to learn how to mix music like at 4:20
fuuuuck i got watch more editors talk about their craft, this is gold
Then have I got the channel for you... 👀
I have a question for the team/audience: I havent seen Stir advertised lately, and my team and i wanted to start using the credits and revenue splitting/sharing features that were advertised. But the "Split" link doesnt work on the site, and there is no "Credit" feature. Is anyone able to use these features? Or have solutions for automatically splitting ad revenue with their KZhead team already?
This show is poetic chaos, but the Christmas flashback stressed me out. phew

Hi, Hillier and Jordan. Do you edit short-form videos as well like ali abdaal or any trending videos? It's the most trending editing style now and I think it is called Pygmalion Effect. Can you make content about it or interview the editors behind short-form videos. Or like Ali Abdaal or his editor?
comment of support =)
Every second counts

It's never style for style itself. Cinema is the less gratuitously stylistic art of all specifically because you could easily do literally anything just for the sake of it. What people don't understand about great cinema is, everything has a why. If it doesn't have a why, it doesn't belong. "We're gonna shoot a close-up of this flower." "Why?" "It looks pretty." "So...?" You're not trying to make something pretty of whatever else. It's completely selfless, in a way, you must shed what you think is "cool" or "satisfying" to look at and cut it out immediately if it doesn't fit the story. If you have a character announcing what's about to happen, chances are that's unnecessary. If the dialogue is convoluted, show, don't tell. This is why they make you do short films in film school, to make you realize how little you need to make great cinema. In a world of incessant CGI effects and multiple writers plots converging in TV shows and commercial movies, the Bear is, surprisingly, a very minimalist film.
I agree 100% but what's the most INTENSE show on KZhead? Hmmm I wonder 😏
