Jing
Han is a film and video editor and she has learned a lot through intensive
studying at two film schools and of course by working on real films and music
videos as an editor. We asked her what else she learned in the film business
and she told us that editors should be able to handle all genres and anything
that they are assigned. She said style is important but one can see in some
editors’ work that they always use the same style and it never really changes.
She believes that an editor’s cutting style should always fit the film’s story
and tone.
She
doesn’t want to become stagnant, that is, maintaining the same editing style
all her life. She wants challenges. She welcomes the opportunity to work on
different genres because it would require her to constantly learn new things.
Each story that is worth telling is unique and has its own style, tone and
pacing. She wants to know what the director has in mind and she believes that
the editor should be open to collaboration with the director.
Some
of the projects that Jing has edited are: Nooks,
a TV pilot; Crier, a short film; First Time Since, a short film; Born in the Flame, a Promo video; Dreams, a music video; Five Love Pieces, a short film; Drawn Curtains, a short film which was
the 2018 LA Shorts Fest official selection and the 2018 official selection of
the Encounters Film Festival; Love in
Canton, a short film that was a 2018 official selection at the LA Shorts
Fest; Your Fukubukuro, a web series,
among others.
Jing
is a movie lover who did all the work necessary to get where she is. She is a
film and video editor who can work on any type or any genre of films, TV shows,
music videos, commercials or documentaries. She went to university for six
years and achieved an advanced degree in editing and film production and she
has a firm grasp of what it takes to make a movie and how to edit it once the
film has been shot. When asked what she would tell aspiring artists Jing simply
said that it is an honor to tell great stories and it comes with big
responsibilities. She also added that everyone should stay curious and keep
learning every day.
