Editing Dining with the Kapoors: lessons from Geeta Singh
Editor Geeta Singh joined Kingdom of Dreams to unpack Dining with the Kapoors - Editor - Geeta Singh, a project where the cut has to carry more than continuity. This episode is about rhythm, collaboration with directors, and the moments that only appear once you are willing to lose footage you love.
Great editorial craft rarely announces itself. In the Dining with the Kapoors - Editor - Geeta Singh conversation, Geeta Singh keeps returning to story clarity: what the audience must feel beat by beat, and which images are expensive noise. That is the difference between a cut that is busy and a cut that is alive.
Steal one habit from this episode: name the purpose of a sequence before you touch the timeline. If you cannot say it in a sentence, the cut will wander.
