Will Spaulding

I am a freelance, on call assistant editor. I come in about once or twice a month to transcode, organize, and ingest footage.

I was signed on as a freelance editor to cover both the work of an editor as well as assistant editor.

I was brought in as a freelance editor to work on a series of purposely cheesy, low budget commercials.

As the sole Editor, I was in charge of managing and transcoding the footage into the film, as well as working alongside the Director to lock picture 3 days after starting the edit process.

Every Monday I was given the footage shot that weekend to be finalized by that Saturday. We built up a collection of finished products before starting to release episodes but continued to work on a weekly basis.

As both the sole editor and post-production supervisor, I was in charge of everything that happened in post. I transcoded the film and edited with the director until picture lock. From there, I coordinated with the supervising sound designer and the visual effects coordinator to carry the film to completion.

One day before shooting, an actor informed us he could only be on set for 4 hours. As AD I had to heavily adjust the schedule and help re-write his scenes so that we could accommodate him. The film went on to win Best Picture at the Houston Comedy Film Festival.
