I was absolutely floored to see that this sequence — taken straight from Reading Rainbow — was on YouTube, because I remember seeing it during my childhood. Check it out — LeVar Burton talks about two of my favorite things: Star Trek, and editing video.

While the editing process has changed over the years — what they used to do in a post-production building in L.A., I can do on my laptop in Orlando — the shots themselves haven’t. Establishing shot, reaction shot, master shot: These are the things we’ll be looking for and tracking on your big day.
