www.postmagazine.com 19 POST SEPTEMBER 2014 also what I find amazing about Tatiana's performance is how different the body language is and even the cadence of the speech. Even when she's playing different characters whose accents are different. For example, Allison and Case- ma, they have different accents but they are not as pronounced, because of the difference in the cadence of the speech you can tell them apart immediately. And Rachel's accent is different from Sarah's British accent." Any special techniques that you want to talk about with regard to the editing process on this show? "The way I approach this is, 'What is the story that I'm trying to tell here and what is it that I'm trying to get out of the scene?' One thing I do is, I'll go back to the scenes I already cut, look at them again, and try other things, and re-cut. I'll do that for the entire assembly process. Even when I have all the scenes, and I string them all together, I look at them and will continue to re-cut because that will put things in context. How does the one scene work in context with the other scene or when I see everything together? Sometimes that will help me realize that I have to change the focus of earlier scenes because of some- thing that happens in a later scene." Are there any particular challenges for you with regard to the editing? "I think with this show, there are additional considerations. The one obvious one we already discussed are the clone scenes; those take more time. "But also what's important with this show, is the tone — there are quite a few tonal shifts that are re- ally interesting. On one hand, most of the show is dark, mysterious. It has the thriller elements to it. On the other hand, the show can actu- ally be quite hilarious. There's a ton of humor and it can also even go into almost screwball comedy." I would also think the directing is key in this as well? "Absolutely. This is a show where I think it really is extremely collabo- rative. I think everything, to pull off something like this, I think all the departments need to come to the table to really make this work. It really is a fantastic cast and crew." This is such a different type of show, what were your initial thoughts when it was first brought to you? "I had worked on another series for Temple Street and they liked working with me, so before they brought me in for an interview with John Fawcett, they sent me the first two scripts to read. I was blown away. When I read them, I was thinking, 'I just have to get on this show; I have to.' I was just keeping my fingers crossed." PRIMETIME Editor D.
