    In Episode 6 we acknowledged that many filmmakers are afraid to work with actors. And we learned that this is often because they don’t know how to talk with them. The same is even more true when you’re working with dancers. Yet a good set of dancers, working with a good choreographer, can have just as much impact on your story as actors.

    In this episode of the 2 Reel Guys, hosts Larry Jordan and Norman Hollyn look at how different stories can demand different discussions with your dancers — and help you to see that working with dancers is no different than working with any other collaborator. It all tracks back to your story.

    Tip of the Day!

    Final Cut Pro – Edit on the Go

    High-speed edits with one keystroke.

    TIp Jar

    Did you know that you could add edits to a clip while playing the Timeline? This is perfect for cutting to the beat of the music.

    Here’s the trick: press Control+V as the playhead moves across the clip. Final Cut adds red markers as you go, and then does the edits when you stop playback.

    You can even do this while the playhead is parked, by typing Control+V.

    Very cool.
