Manage episode 413402098 series 118896
Erick Sasso is a multi-hyphenate creative and the editor of the film, Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story, which documents the life of Tyler Perry. Erick compares the making of documentaries to the making of a meal. You need to use the right ingredients…not too much, not too little. And everyone at the table has to enjoy it.

- Making music videos with his friends in high school
- Realizing you can reverse engineer in the edit
- The importance of charging adequately for your services
- How he landed the editing job on Maxine’s Baby
- What it looks like to fall in love with the subject
- Navigating topics such as abuse and childhood trauma
- What it was like seeing emotional reactions from the audience
- Important lessons he has learned about being a filmmaker
- Setting up projects in Adobe Premiere
- Overcoming tech fears and looking forward to new updates
- Why editors make the best directors
- Focusing on development and learning from others
Memorable Quotes
- “Usually you are not charging enough. Usually, you are charging way less than industry standard.” [12:38]
- “When you edit a lot, it’s really creepy when you meet people.” [32:59]
- “You may think you are a hard worker until you meet someone who is doing 10x your output.” [35:09]
- “You need to become a pro at uncertainty.” [60:24]
