If you have been formally trained in film editing and possess a deep, almost obsessive understanding of cinematic rhythm, we offer you the chance to sculpt our ambitious 3D animated feature. We demand the rich, large-scale visual vocabulary seen in blockbusters like _**KGF**_, the thematic pacing of _**Kantara**_, and the stunning visual flow required for top-tier animation. This is an opportunity to prove your mastery in crafting a world-class final product that will challenge industry veterans and **flabbergast international film festival audiences**. **Core Mandate: Rhythm, Scale, and World-Class Flow** The Editor's primary function is to transform raw animation into a pulse-pounding, emotionally coherent, and technically flawless film that adheres to global theatrical standards. - **Pacing and Narrative Drive**: Establish the definitive tempo and rhythm of the film, ensuring that high-stakes action sequences (e.g., the intensity of a Narasimha-esque transformation) land with maximum impact, while emotional scenes breathe and resonate. - **Visual Continuity in 3D**: Seamlessly join intricate 3D animated shots, maintaining flawless continuity in performance, perspective, and eyelines. Your editing must create the illusion of a single, coherent reality, regardless of the complexity of the VFX. - **Sound and Music Synchronization**: Work in lock-step with the Composer and Sound Designer to integrate the **world-class score and sound effects** (SFX). The final edit must serve as the absolute backbone for music cues, ensuring every **"hit-point"** and emotional transition is perfectly timed to create a visceral, memorable audience experience. - **Pre-visualization and Editorial Workflow**: Utilize animation workflow edits (Animatics/Pre-vis) to explore scene flow early and make substantial structural changes efficiently, minimizing expensive re-animation. - **Color and Visual Consistency**: Work with the final picture to ensure consistency in color, grading, and visual quality throughout the film's runtime, delivering a theatrical-grade Digital Cinema Package (DCP). **Technical Mastery and Workflow** We require an editor who is technically self-sufficient and fluent in post-production pipelines. - **NLE Proficiency (Non-Linear Editing)**: Expert, fast-paced command of industry-standard NLE software such as **Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, or DaVinci Resolve**. Speed and efficiency in the software are non-negotiable. - **Post-Production Fluency**: Strong working knowledge of standard animation post-production workflows, including handling multiple layers of visuals (pre-vis, gray-scale passes, final renders) and conforming the edit to the final high-resolution source material. - **Technical Specifications**: Ability to manage project formats, aspect ratios, frame rates, and export specifications required for high-end theatrical distribution and international film festival submissions. - **Dialogue & Temporary Sound**: Exceptional skill in editing dialogue tracks for optimal rhythm and flow, and managing temporary (temp) music and sound effects to sell the edit until final assets are delivered. **Key Qualifications and Mindset (The Ambitious Professional)** - **Unwavering Eye for Detail**: An acute awareness of minute timing discrepancies (1/24th of a second counts), continuity errors, and sound/picture sync issues. Your standards must be higher than the Director's. - **Collaborative Ego**: You must possess the confidence of a master editor but remain highly coachable and willing to execute the Director's vision, even when it challenges your instinct. - **Demonstrated Pacing**: Your portfolio (reel) must showcase **bold, varied pacing**, from high-energy action to nuanced, dramatic rhythm.
