Editor, Joshua Schaeffer

Godzilla vs Kong editor, Joshua Schaeffer has been working in the Monsterverse for some time now, having had a hand in cutting Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla: King of Monsters with editors such as Bob Ducsay and Rick Pearson.  But for director Adam Wingard's latest entry in the franchise, Josh takes the lead among that crew.    Josh's love and enthusiasm for these big VFX films really comes through in our discussion and he teaches us a lot about the rigor and discipline that goes into the world building that happens in post production; not to mention the marathon that is editing a big VFX blockbuster like Godzilla vs. Kong.

Editing Godzilla vs. Kong

In our discussion with Godzilla vs Kong editor, Joshua Schaeffer we talk about:

  • Adjusting shot speed to support the scale of the titanic characters
  • How sound design can be one of the best "visual effects"
  • The advantages of working with a director who also edits
  • The stages of vfx within post production
  • The creative liberation of big-budget movies
