For the current project, we will be creating up to 600 short interview style films. We conduct the remote recordings through zoom and most will take 20-40 minutes, where we ask them a handful of pre-decided questions. From the raw recording, the editors must choose the best 1-3 minute section, and add pre-created bumpers, a lower third, background music, and make some minor color and audio adjustments. Overall, it's quite simple in terms of video editing. The most difficult part will be choosing the correct segment of their interview. But, the person conducting the interview will provide some basic notes as to which section is probably the best.
