The true stars of reality television are the editors.

Brooker speaks the truth. On the frontline in the war against terror ( aka everything media I hate).

@painxtreme oooops * I regret NOT doing tape of Departure and Return. For anyone who was interested, sorry about the confusion.

[painxtreme]

@painxtreme ...and of course, though having been and Art Director, and Professor, I know design and composition well, but I'm no pro at editing, or for that matter, shooting video. Of course all of it is Verité, since i didn't lug my tripod along. I regret doing Departure and Return, because the flight To Europe almost got delayed a day because of a late flight, that would miss the connecting flight, and I wish Id documented some of that, and customs hassles in a wheelchair.

@iAndyi That is definitely true. Since early 2009 Ive been off and on editing down a month long trip across Europe my oldest son took me on. Very quickly I found most dialogue would have to be post production 1.) My son, 26 swears frequently, and 3.) handling the camera, i often would just speak quick cues into the mic to remember to edit something, or stress the importance of things, to discuss in post, rather than trying to be Schama, and script it, of course silly things will remain, for fun.
