Asking The Bear Editors How They Cut With INTENSITY

[@daveSoupy]

I LOVE how when Carmen is giving his monologue they did no cuts. Really made it feel like you were listening in that moment to someone say something real.

[@AnywhereGoes]

The mix of Jeremy Allen White's incredible performance and flawless editing choices made that scene so captivating, I couldn't look away.

[@d0ntchange]

Editors are truly rockstars! I love that this piece shows how much they play in the creation of the masterpieces we watch and love

[@deloreanized]

(Editors are truly rockstars) when they work for directors that don’t have a clue of what they are doing, so they have to “direct” for them in the edit. A true film director (like Soderbergh or Aranofsky) get what they want int he shoot since they have a preconceived notion of how they are going to assemble the pieces. The idea of an editor that creates such an specific outcome without any specific director’s insight only informs you of how terrible most directors are at imagining and getting what they need.

[@anchovski1788]

@@deloreanized if the result is as great as 'The Bear' maybe it's not because the director has no vision, but because the director composed a great team and let them do their magic. In this case, especially, the show is very much about teamwork.

[@antnycruzr]

'Fishes' into 'Forks' are two of the best episodes of TV ever created. This show is on an another level. This conversation was beautifully fascinating. Thank you!!!

[@beautyandthesavage]

Guys, what A LEGIT interview!!! Love it when you bring seasoned pros from the film industry. Like - LOVE IT!!!!

[@Colleen-Pearce]

Editors are the true film makers. Everyone else's job is to create the pieces, you put them together and make the story out of the different elements.

[@gregorylagrange]

There's no good pieces to put together and no story if the writing isn't there.

[@fromthescreen123]

Filmmaking is a TRUE collaboration…. A director will elevate a well written scene, the cinematographer will masterfully shoot a boring sequence, an actor will bring something completely unique to an otherwise dull character, an editor will edit around bad performances and make an average actor look amazing ….. it’s endless and there is no one person who is the “true film makers”

[@MohammadOsmanAzizi]

Totally disagree, a masterpiece is because of great teamwork!

[@ruffprophetproductions]

Thank you for producing this. One of my favorite shows in recent memory, and it’s beautiful to hear the editors perspective. They played such an important role in this beautiful art piece.

[@luke_mckay]

I couldn't click this one fast enough. I just cut a mini doc, and during the climax, I was like, "Alright, how would The Bear cut this chaotic scene...."

[@luke_mckay]

After finishing: did not disappoint. Thanks for an awesome interview, everyone! Editing on The Bear.... primo.

[@andrey.skripnik]

for real!! such an iconic scene, the chaotic one

[@RomanTheFreeMan]

SO much value in these breakdowns! Thank you so much, guys!

[@SpenceTravels]

It's amazing !!

[@ryanarmstrong956]

This was a PHENOMENAL conversation and breakdown!

[@kidsonblackops]

I love the use of music both in the show and in the podcast. These episodes are just so high quality. Both as content and as entertainment.

[@hay_bail1]

This video is like explaining a good ballet. You need the big fast moments, and the slow small moments.

[@BirdieLove1000]

Phenomenal interview! I love the close attention to the art of editing and the purpose for every element. It taught me so much. One request to the The Editing Podcast: please post the guests' names on the screen. I had to go back several times to listen for them and wasn't sure I go them right. Joanna Novel and Adam Epstein? Thank you!

[@TEMINIX]

This is great. I love "Forks". I truly believe it's one of the best episodes of television i've ever seen. I love this show and I am so stoked to see where it goes and what happens to these beloved characters.

[@space_1073]

Editors are the true film makers. Everyone else's job is to create the pieces, you put them together and make the story out of the different elements.

[@PryorGaming]

I love the topic. Montages are so misunderstood (by me) because most people (me) just speed up footage at the same rate through the whole thing. But this is quite eye-opening for me

[@millenial_in_the_middle]

The Bear is one of the best Shows i've recently watched.

[@ejgwrites]

Watching this at 2 am as we speak after hours of editing just charged me tf up. Great channel I just stumbled upon bro

[@_minaxi]

ughhhh what i'd give to pick their brain about every second and every frame of this show!!! The Bear really is the one of the best shows I've ever seen because it does something a lot of other shows don't- respect the audience. And the editing plays a HUGE part in this- they don't compromise the pace or artistic sensibilities because they trust the audience to keep up. I CANNOT WAIT FOR SEASON 3.

[@Tvj_films8452]

Truly editors golden nuggets everywhere.

[@EposVox]

This was a wonderful episode.

[@porqme]

As a former cook, this show brought back repressed memories and happy moments from my years working on the line. You know it's good when your blood pressure goes up, as if you were in it, in the weeds on a weekend rush, bringing back the adrenaline-laced PTSD moments, conversations, and comradery, only working in a restaurant provides. Great job capturing the story

[@giancarlofernandez1703]

This was so fun and educational. I would love to see the same type of breakdown for the show Succession.

[@novelafilmacademy]

Absolutely captivating discussion with the editors of 'The Bear'! Their insights into crafting intensity through editing techniques are both enlightening and inspiring.

[@AllenRReid]

Great interview...I can tell these professional editors you guys interview really appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to break down their work and get what they are trying to achieve.

[@lazyeight4090]

Man! These videos make me regret looking away or pausing these shows or KZbin videos in the middle, like if I don’t wait till the end I’m basically ruining the pacing.

[@forthewine]

This is your best episode yet. Thanks for this excellent breakdown and insight from the editors

[@amazanta1605]

Tbh the Chicago intro in episode 7 of season one editing is top notch in using b roll to tell a story

[@Oddernod]

Best episode yet for the show - listened to it as a podcast and had to almost immediately REWATCH it over here on KZbin

[@matthewperks9312]

Just discovered the channel - LOVE this interview. Would love to see more of the three of you talking, especially about creating emotion within the Bear and how the balance of this intensity is mapped within episodes, series and multi-season character developments

[@HussamOraby]

I have been working in this field for almost 5 years, and the first time I watched the first episode I was like Holyshit!! I have watched the bear 3 times. The first time was for the show itself. The other 2 times analyzing the technicality, I watched every frame. Brilliant cinematography, coloring, character development, and ofc the editing. so inspiring for real

[@SpenceTravels]

I love how visual this podcast is it's awesome

[@simsimma305]

Editing is such an amazing art form. Thank you for this video. It’s really awesome to hear their perspective and what an phenomenal show, I love the bear.

[@Esttefanialopez]

Just loved the rhythm of the edit on the intro in S1E7 - love all the footage-photos- the editor choice of the music (Chicago by Sufjan Stevens) after the intro finished I just played again before watching the episode. Love your work 🫶

[@QCS_AdamCole]

I just saw the calm vs chaos AS just life in a kitchen. Outside of film & wresting, I spent my years working in restaurants & this series & the Waiting films are the most perfect examples of life in the industry

[@JudiChristopher]

"BRAVO DARLINGS... BRAVO" I loved every minute of this video.... I used to be an actress, (well... kinda still am... ) I am not an Acting Director working on a Screenplay... and was told my "Story" was OKAY.. but the first 10 pages needed to knock their socks off... I was writing a screenplay for a movie, but now I want to do a Limited Mini-Series for TV... I think since the Pandemic, people love to watch from the comfort of their home. Your video is Spot on... and when I was introduced to making movies back in the stone age, when they only use REEL Film... to now, someone can use a Canon 5D Mark II.. to a RED... the "Feel" of the film can be so much more personal, ... UP IN YOUR FACE... Literally... without having to Zoom In... No Zooming in... Thank you all ... I can't wait to see more of these great videos.

[@gomezcreativemedia]

Great podcast. My favorite scene is the episode that focused on Ritchie’s transformation.

One of the best shows i've seen in a while! Big ups to the editors!

[@brynncreative]

Just found your show. So rad. Incredible work on editing this show- The Bear was so intense and inspiring. Beautiful expression of passion and excellence. This show gave me ENERGY to want to be the best at what I do. It’s certainly not cooking 😂 but the show transcends that. Bravo! 👏🏻🎬

[@HudsonGrant-fl6lh]

Perfect timing, I judged finished the bear yesterday

[@GastonBiagiottiGBImagen]

I loved this episode! Thanks for this kind of material! A hug from Argentina!

[@MtZionMediaPro]

Absolutely love these videos!! It shows that how every decision artistically in the edit specifically.

[@wizcatcheslightning]

The Bear is my current favorite show (followed by Severance)! Glad you have an episode with the editors here.

[@deloreanized]

To make a long story short: this style stems directly from Martin Scorsese's needle drop montages and Spike Lee's early voice over driven mash ups (heavily influenced by Scorsese). And that's that.

[@catchyovibe]

A lot of these “people” see something used by someone & ignorantly assume that person created that style. Never looking beyond the vail at the films that were truly being cutting edge xxx before cutting edge was cool-

[@TreeHaven]

Loved watching “The Bear” so glad y’all made this video👊

[@BikesAndBatallas]

I love that Adam uses a RODE NT-USB. It's such a great affordable mic.

[@kccstar]

I got to hear Adam talk about 9 years ago while he was working on SNL films. Thanks for having him on here.

[@AxolotlLol]

The Bear showed me how intense being a chef can be. It's a show about slow built up tension

[@jamielennon8137]

Such a fantastically insightful and generous breakdown.

[@carljuztine3328]

best series i have watched whole year, perfectly chaotic

[@IagoAlmeidaI]

That's why I love editing, now I want to watch the show.

[@cricketdesign]

Love the breakdown, I learn so much from this video. Thank you so much!

[@pvthfindxr]

i had to google the "1955 blanket lined Type 3, Pleated" and was not disappointed. its a vintage Levi's denim jacket, basically the classic James Dean look. they're about $500

That "Tribune" tower in the opening montage is from Oakland not Chicago. @5:52 Just thought that was funny because the host goes " oh wow, what just happened?' right at that moment so I caught it.

[@ncrider2000]

Love the show. Love her work. I can’t listen to her talk. “Impor’ance” is not a word. Enunciate!

[@artesaniasdigitales]

great interview, I found it extremely useful

[@stoatystoat174]

I do think Editors are a quite Chef like. You can't make something great without great ingredients. Script, acting, visual composition, soundtrack. A great scene can get a bit chewy if it sits on screan for two long. No change in pace could get bland. etc etc etc :)

[@Cinetric.1]

Recently I edited a movie to a south African director, the first time editing a hole movie by myself, the hilarious thing that i only watch this channel to get inspiration from, and I did it well 🤣

That's amazing sirr👏🏻👏🏻

[@corbinbishop1991]

Such a great show man. You could just feel it while you were watching. That this was special. And put together immaculately. Guides you along on the emotional roller coaster, but not forcing it.

Yes! Great episode! More stuff like this

[@DriverSensei]

I want to know, in larger channels, how do multiple editors work together? Do they all get separate parts of the video or what? That's never explained. How do two editors, with two different personalities and styles, make one uploadable video?

[@DariuszTech]

Nice one as always 😊❤

[@zedrake]

Forks is one of the top 3 television episodes I’ve ever seen. I think breaking bad takes 1 and 2 spot but damn I loved every second of Forks

[@Redrover14]

I saw The Bear recently and...it's become my favorite show of all time. I think in part that has to do with my love for the food industry in regards to shows and films - Masterchef and Hell's Kitchen are my guilty pleasures - but the story arcs and cinematography are also masterfully done. I cared for all of the characters on a visceral level. I even needed to take a break for a few days because the emotional stakes were so high, I felt mentally stressed FOR the characters. No show or movie has ever affected me that way.

[@happyraintf]

Cut, cut, cut - rest. Cut, cut, cut - reeeeest.

[@WW_Studios]

Yep!

[@TechOutAdam]

I'm on my 6th rewatch of the show this month. It's so addicting.

[@ot_reacts]

Looks like it was a ton of fun to edit!

[@BlazinCutty]

I love this show! Although there are so many great cuts, some of them are super odd. Like I couldn’t understand the message when they do the city scenes and they would rotate the scene?

[@chilloutdude3617]

The jeans in the oven and ramen in the cabinet are a look into the diet and home life of a real chef. I worked in that industry for over 15 years. You work 12+ hour days 6-7 days a week. You're NEVER home. And when you are, the LAST thing you want to do when you get home is cook. You eat at work most of the time but IF you eat at home it's quick and easy.

[@SoapWhiskey]

Has anybody else had a feeling that The Bear is also about filmmaking? As in managing a restaurant seems almost exactly the same as managing a film crew?

[@floridabrofigures]

i freaking lost it when the Thief soundtrack started playing

[@melodymurray3579]

[@razabadass]

[@jas_bataille]

It's never style for style itself. Cinema is the less gratuitously stylistic art of all specifically because you could easily do literally anything just for the sake of it. What people don't understand about great cinema is, everything has a why. If it doesn't have a why, it doesn't belong. "We're gonna shoot a close-up of this flower." "Why?" "It looks pretty." "So...?" You're not trying to make something pretty of whatever else. It's completely selfless, in a way, you must shed what you think is "cool" or "satisfying" to look at and cut it out immediately if it doesn't fit the story. If you have a character announcing what's about to happen, chances are that's unnecessary. If the dialogue is convoluted, show, don't tell. This is why they make you do short films in film school, to make you realize how little you need to make great cinema. In a world of incessant CGI effects and multiple writers plots converging in TV shows and commercial movies, the Bear is, surprisingly, a very minimalist film.

[@CaptainSmoothie]

Okay I'll watch The Bear again for the 4th time
