Do you know the difference between how film editing works in live-action movies versus animated features? If not, you’re in luck: the probably-intentionally-pretentiously-named Royal Ocean Film Society‘s Andrew Saladino has put together a rather enlightening video essay on the fundamentals of the art.
A lot of this might be old news to anyone who has watched their share of behind-the-scenes featurettes or has even a basic grasp of how animation works, but it’s a well-put together piece nonetheless, and it will hopefully go a long way to help fans appreciate the hard work that goes into editing animation.

The Royal Ocean Film Society has been posting similar videos exploring a wide variety of cinematic topics on their YouTube page for almost a full year.
