Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Oscar-nominee Joi McMillon, ACE about the editing of Barry Jenkins’ Mufasa: The Lion King.
Joi’s been on Art of the Cut before for Moonlight - for which she was nominated for an Oscar and an ACE Eddie and for Underground Railroad. She also edited Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk among many other projects.
The discussion today is about - among other things - the workflow similarities between Mufasa and Avatar, the benefits of watching dailies with the director and cinematographer, and the learning curve of cutting animation for the first time.
