Unsung heroes

I sat down to watch Happy Go Lucky last week and before the movie there was a montage of Miramax films celebrating their 30 years of filmmaking. The montage was amazing, beautifully done, and edited perfectly to a great soundtrack. There were scenes from Gangs of New York cut together with Good Will Hunting, as well as Kevin Smith movies. The montage ended with the music swelling, the drumbeat got more intense, and the scenes were cut on the drumbeats. As I sat there mesmerized I thought, “what an amazing job the editor did cutting this package”, it was only two or three minutes long but the way it was edited I got sucked in. Then it came to the end and there was no credit given, it just ended and the DVD menu came up. This package must have taken an editor hours and hours to get it perfect, the way it flashed through scenes with the beat, and yet no one will ever know who he is. There are so many talented people in this world that create amazing works that never receive the credit they deserve.
