Today on Art of the Cut we speak with four of the editors on the buzzy new Amazon Prime series, Young Sherlock. With us are Cheryl Potter, Calum Ross, Phil Hookway, and Tim Murrell.
Cheryl’s been on Art of the Cut before, starting back when she was an additional editor for Pietro Scalia, ACE, on Ridley Scott’s The Martian. We’ve also talked to her about the TV series, Snowpiercer. Her other credits include The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power.
Tim Murrell has edited features like Monkey Man and 21 Bridges, and TV series like The Terror and Patrick Melrose.
Philip Hookway has edited TV series, Deep State, Being Human, and Torchwood.
Calum Ross has edited TV series including Loki, The Devil’s Hour, Sex Education, and Not Another Happy Ending.
Today we’re discussing the importance of in-person collaboration for the edit team, the power of adjusting the tonal dial “just so,” and the benefit of re-thinking how the show begins.
