Gael Chandler began her career at a drive-in theatre in Santa Rosa, CA as a cashier at the Star-Vue Motor Movies, where she became interested in the projection booth. There she learned base and emulsion, cement and tape splicing and other 35mm basics. Eventually, her union brothers and the town's theatre managers were persuaded to let her in the booth and the union. This meant she got to run Rocky, Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever for months, and take location assignments doing grip, electrical and craft service work. While serving as a projectionist she earned two BAs before heading to Hollywood where she began slipping through studio gates. Gael’s first job was as an assistant at a sound studio where she transferred 500 tiger growls from ¼" to 35mm on her first day. It was a good place to meet editors and led to her first assistant editor job on the TV show That’s Incredible! She spent over three decades in Los Angeles editing comedies, dramas, documentaries, features, corporate videos, and promos. Gael cut on every medium: film, tape, and digital, and trained hundreds of professionals, professors, independent filmmakers and students to operate digital editing equipment. She worked on The New Leave It to Beaver, the first show to edit on Ediflex - a groundbreaking non-linear editing system - and was nominated two years in a row for a CableACE Award for Best Editing of a Comedy Series. She also taught classes on editing history, theory, and practice to college students. Gael wrote two editions of Cut by Cut: Editing Your Film Or Video and Film Editing: Great Cuts Every Filmmaker and Movie Lover Must Know. In 2010 she retired to northern California and wrote Chronicles of Old San Francisco: Exploring the Historic City by the Bay and co-founded PictureYourBook to produce book trailers and enhanced eBooks. She continues to write plays, screenplays and short stories. Her current project is co-authoring Preaching and Editing (working title) with Homiletics professor Reverend Shauna K. Hannan, PhD.

GAEL CHANDLER: A Cut Above

Television editor and author Gael Chandler is on the hot mic today. Most of you may know by now that I started out in post as an editor. Anytime I have another editor on it’s like sailors recalling old battle stories, which are always very entertaining. It is a whole other world when a director says, ‘CUT!’ to the final scene and the elves of film production, EDITORS, get to work. While I am curious to hear Geal’s stories from behind the scenes, I would like to focus first on her new book, Editing for Directors: A Guide for Creative Collaboration which was released in August of 2021. This is her fifth publication which shares tools and lessons from her expert experience in film production/editing. Gael has been nominated twice for the Cable Emmy award for comedy editing and has taught editing practices and history at Loyola Marymount University and California State Universities at Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Northridge.Editing for Directors: A Guide for Creative Collaboration focuses on how directors should be working with editors. It guides directors through postproduction, starting with planning for editing during the shoot and ending with the completion of their film. This thorough, well-illustrated book:Describes the artistic, organizational, and technical skills editors bring to the party; with tools on what directors should look for when hiring an editor and the best ways to work with an editor; It further explains how and why directors should plan for editing before they shoot a frame. An entire chapter is devoted to relating the history of editing and cutting tools and how they have affected the language of cinema and present-day editing while defining and discussing cutting-room terms, practices, and workflows.Gael filmography credits her editing on wonderful 90s television shows like Max Headroom, Deep Dark Secrets, A Mom for Christmas, Family Matters, and The Very Retail Christmas. Some of her other books include Film Editing: Great Cuts Every Filmmaker and Movie Lover Must Know and Cut by Cut: Editing Your Film or Video.It’s always fun to hear unique stories from seasoned technicians and the huge technological revolution or evolution their line of work has had to face as well as their adaptation processes.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2664729/advertisement
