ina leaned across the desk and peered at the large computer monitor in Cassie’s office. It was fascinating the way the editing process worked.
Last week, Cassie had explained it to her. First, she imported all of Connor’s footage into her editing program, organizing it by scenes. Then the fun part began, as she sorted through the various shots to find the best ones, piecing them together to create a unified visual, deciding on the order and juxtaposition of the shots. Rina hadn’t realized how much artistry was involved in the process; she made the mistake of saying so now, in front of Cassie and Gabriella.
After spending last week alone with Cassie (the video editor had offered her the option of sitting with her while she edited, and it was a no-brainer for Rina; of course she wanted maximum input), today was Gabriella’s first time joining them.
Rina still didn’t know what Gabriella had been mysteriously busy with last week, but her suspicions that Gabriella was just giving an excuse had turned out to be groundless. Gabriella had certainly seemed eager to be part of the editing process, calling her evenings to find out how things were going, assuring Rina several times that she’d be joining them the following Monday.
