Editing for Television Episodes

Editing for Television Episodes Episodic television is animated fi lm produced in mass quantities. Characters develop over several episodes, and if you are lucky, several seasons. To produce such shows economically, more emphasis is placed on dialog and music than intricate and expensive one-time action scenes (refer back to page 14 ‘ Directing for television ‘ ). In addition, you can cut around actions without having to show it. Japanese Anime fi lms are particularly good in putting emphasis on interesting layout designs and establishing shots with simple character movement and repetitive facial set-ups for dialog, saving full animation for key important shots. This way they economize without hurting the overall quality.
