film editing, michael cody

I watch a bunch of films, but I dont know much about the production of films, specifically editing. I did not realize how much work it takes. A good amount of film has to be gone through, cut out or moved, and often times this process is repeated several times. This must be a frustrating part of film making for the film maker because I doubt any film maker wants to really cut anything out of the original film. New technology must make the process easier than it was back in the day and I beleive that while editing will still be tedious, newer technology might make it easier.
