The Editor's Prayer

Your rating: None Average: 3.5 (2 votes)

The Editor's Prayer
From Gael at www.joyoffilmediting.com

Our perfect director who art in heaven,
Showered with Oscars be thy name.
Thy Lifetime Achievement will come, thy will be done
In the editing room as it is on location.

Give us this day our daily film and
Forgive the missing footage as we also forgive
the person in charge of continuity.

Lead us not into frustration
But deliver us from the talent free director,
For ours is the splicer, the mouse,
and the objective eye.
Forever.
Amen.
