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.
(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.
'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!!!
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.
Filmmaking is a TRUE collaboration…. A director will elevate a well written scene, the cinematographer will masterfully shoot a boring sequence, an actor will bring something completely unique to an otherwise dull character, an editor will edit around bad performances and make an average actor look amazing ….. it’s endless and there is no one person who is the “true film makers”
As a former cook, this show brought back repressed memories and happy moments from my years working on the line. You know it's good when your blood pressure goes up, as if you were in it, in the weeds on a weekend rush, bringing back the adrenaline-laced PTSD moments, conversations, and comradery, only working in a restaurant provides. Great job capturing the story
Absolutely captivating discussion with the editors of 'The Bear'! Their insights into crafting intensity through editing techniques are both enlightening and inspiring.
Just discovered the channel - LOVE this interview. Would love to see more of the three of you talking, especially about creating emotion within the Bear and how the balance of this intensity is mapped within episodes, series and multi-season character developments
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.
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.
I have been working in this field for almost 5 years, and the first time I watched the first episode I was like Holyshit!! I have watched the bear 3 times. The first time was for the show itself. The other 2 times analyzing the technicality, I watched every frame. Brilliant cinematography, coloring, character development, and ofc the editing. so inspiring for real
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 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...."
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
"BRAVO DARLINGS... BRAVO" I loved every minute of this video.... I used to be an actress, (well... kinda still am... ) I am not an Acting Director working on a Screenplay... and was told my "Story" was OKAY.. but the first 10 pages needed to knock their socks off... I was writing a screenplay for a movie, but now I want to do a Limited Mini-Series for TV... I think since the Pandemic, people love to watch from the comfort of their home. Your video is Spot on... and when I was introduced to making movies back in the stone age, when they only use REEL Film... to now, someone can use a Canon 5D Mark II.. to a RED... the "Feel" of the film can be so much more personal, ... UP IN YOUR FACE... Literally... without having to Zoom In... No Zooming in... Thank you all ... I can't wait to see more of these great videos.
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.
Man! These videos make me regret looking away or pausing these shows or TH-cam videos in the middle, like if I don’t wait till the end I’m basically ruining the pacing.
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 🫶
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.
Recently I edited a movie to a south African director, the first time editing a hole movie by myself, the hilarious thing that i only watch this channel to get inspiration from, and I did it well 🤣
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
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! 👏🏻🎬
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.
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-
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.
i had to google the "1955 blanket lined Type 3, Pleated" and was not disappointed. its a vintage Levi's denim jacket, basically the classic James Dean look. they're about $500
I do think Editors are a quite Chef like. You can't make something great without great ingredients. Script, acting, visual composition, soundtrack. A great scene can get a bit chewy if it sits on screan for two long. No change in pace could get bland. etc etc etc :)
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.
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 👌🏽
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.
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.
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?
Has anybody else had a feeling that The Bear is also about filmmaking? As in managing a restaurant seems almost exactly the same as managing a film crew?
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.
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 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.
Guys, what A LEGIT interview!!! Love it when you bring seasoned pros from the film industry. Like - LOVE IT!!!!
Editors are truly rockstars! I love that this piece shows how much they play in the creation of the masterpieces we watch and love

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.
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.
There's no good pieces to put together and no story if the writing isn't there.
Filmmaking is a TRUE collaboration….
A director will elevate a well written scene, the cinematographer will masterfully shoot a boring sequence, an actor will bring something completely unique to an otherwise dull character, an editor will edit around bad performances and make an average actor look amazing ….. it’s endless and there is no one person who is the “true film makers”
Totally disagree, a masterpiece is because of great teamwork!

SO much value in these breakdowns! Thank you so much, guys!
It's amazing !!
Absolutely captivating discussion with the editors of 'The Bear'! Their insights into crafting intensity through editing techniques are both enlightening and inspiring.
Watching this at 2 am as we speak after hours of editing just charged me tf up. Great channel I just stumbled upon bro
This was a PHENOMENAL conversation and breakdown!

This video is like explaining a good ballet. You need the big fast moments, and the slow small moments.
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.

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.

Editing on The Bear.... primo.
for real!! such an iconic scene, the chaotic one
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
Best episode yet for the show - listened to it as a podcast and had to almost immediately REWATCH it over here on TH-cam
"BRAVO DARLINGS... BRAVO"
I loved every minute of this video....
I used to be an actress, (well... kinda still am... ) I am not an Acting Director working on a Screenplay... and was told my "Story" was OKAY.. but the first 10 pages needed to knock their socks off...

Your video is Spot on... and when I was introduced to making movies back in the stone age, when they only use REEL Film... to now, someone can use a Canon 5D Mark II.. to a RED... the "Feel" of the film can be so much more personal, ...
UP IN YOUR FACE... Literally... without having to Zoom In... No Zooming in...
Thank you all ... I can't wait to see more of these great videos.
This is your best episode yet. Thanks for this excellent breakdown and insight from the editors
Truly editors golden nuggets everywhere.
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.
Man! These videos make me regret looking away or pausing these shows or TH-cam videos in the middle, like if I don’t wait till the end I’m basically ruining the pacing.
Tbh the Chicago intro in episode 7 of season one editing is top notch in using b roll to tell a story
One of the best shows i've seen in a while! Big ups to the editors!
This was so fun and educational. I would love to see the same type of breakdown for the show Succession.
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 🫶
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.
I loved this episode! Thanks for this kind of material! A hug from Argentina!
YASSSS YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I WANTED THE EDITOR FROM THE BEAR HERE IN MY FAVORITE PODCAST THANKS
I love how visual this podcast is it's awesome
Thanks for showing this! Love this!
yesssssss, obsessed with the bear and recently just found this podcast. THANKYOU!
Love the breakdown, I learn so much from this video. Thank you so much!
Great podcast. My favorite scene is the episode that focused on Ritchie’s transformation.
Recently I edited a movie to a south African director, the first time editing a hole movie by myself, the hilarious thing that i only watch this channel to get inspiration from, and I did it well 🤣
That's amazing sirr👏🏻👏🏻
Loved watching “The Bear” so glad y’all made this video👊
One of the best shows i've seen in a while! Big ups to the editors!
Absolutely love these videos!! It shows that how every decision artistically in the edit specifically.
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
Perfect timing, I judged finished the bear yesterday
best series i have watched whole year, perfectly chaotic
I got to hear Adam talk about 9 years ago while he was working on SNL films. Thanks for having him on here.
The Bear is my current favorite show (followed by Severance)! Glad you have an episode with the editors here.
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! 👏🏻🎬
Such a fantastically insightful and generous breakdown.
this is the first video i watch of this channel and i love it so let's keep on it :)

REALLY well done. Thanks for sharing the insights of some masterful editors.
I love that Adam uses a RODE NT-USB. It's such a great affordable mic.
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.
What a beautiful concept. Love watching breakdowns of edits. New sub!
great interview, I found it extremely useful
The Bear showed me how intense being a chef can be. It's a show about slow built up tension
i had to google the "1955 blanket lined Type 3, Pleated" and was not disappointed. its a vintage Levi's denim jacket, basically the classic James Dean look. they're about $500
That's why I love editing, now I want to watch the show.
great video. started watching the show because of this video. dope show. great artistry
I just like this all insides about editing. It´s amazing
Incredible breakdown
Such a great show that also inspired some of our future videos in terms of editing etc.!
Love the show. Love her work. I can’t listen to her talk. “Impor’ance” is not a word. Enunciate!
Thanks for helping me discover a new show about cooking
Loved this episode
I do think Editors are a quite Chef like. You can't make something great without great ingredients. Script, acting, visual composition, soundtrack.
A great scene can get a bit chewy if it sits on screan for two long. No change in pace could get bland. etc etc etc :)
It helped me a lot! Thanks for providing such valuable info through this video 🤍
Love from India 🇮🇳

The Bear is a nicely made show.
Yes! Great episode! More stuff like this
Forks is one of the top 3 television episodes I’ve ever seen. I think breaking bad takes 1 and 2 spot but damn I loved every second of Forks
i really enjoy these kinda breakdowns. thanks
Nice one as always 😊❤
I remember you speaking about this during one of the videos where you analyze your editing for Logan!
Cut, cut, cut - rest. Cut, cut, cut - reeeeest.
Yep!
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 👌🏽
Wow this is SO useful.
I love the Bear, I love this Podcast. Today is a good day.
(also i liked the first title better)
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 insight 👏
Every second counts
great podcast team well done
I'm on my 6th rewatch of the show this month. It's so addicting.
Has anybody else had a feeling that The Bear is also about filmmaking? As in managing a restaurant seems almost exactly the same as managing a film crew?
Looks like it was a ton of fun to edit!
i freaking lost it when the Thief soundtrack started playing
Okay I'll watch The Bear again for the 4th time

I NEED to learn how to mix music like at 4:20
thank you
Put this on the watch later system: fingers crossed for later/next time! Raza :)
