N8 Films is a Dallas Production Company that specializes in editing documentaries.
Having started as an editor for corporate videos and spending several years editing for television, I know firsthand that long-form editing of documentaries is a very specialized skill.
When editing a documentary, you really have to possess a strong awareness of all of the potentials. This means you have to be incredibly familiar with the footage and be able to retain that for a long period of time since it often takes months or even years to edit a documentary.
And most of all, you have to have a deeply emotional connection with the purpose of the documentary. If an editor isn’t connected with the spirit of the piece, he or she can drive it into a ditch faster than anyone on the whole crew.
