A wise man once said that every film is written three times. The first time through its screenplay, the second time when the film is shot, and the third time when the film is edited.

This is how Robyn Scaringi approaches film editing, as the final writer of the film. This analogy also highlights the highly collaborative nature of filmmaking during every step of the production process. It is the writer, the director, the editor, and an entire cast & crew that makes a movie happen. From the smallest promo to the biggest blockbuster movie, collaboration is the key to bringing a movie or video to its full potential.

The three writers analogy also emphasizes the importance of the story in a film. It’s the story that will capture your audience more than any other aspect of filmmaking. That’s why Robyn believes there’s no such thing as “just a training video” or “just a promo piece.” Each video project is a new opportunity to find and bring out an untold story, to entertain or educate people, if only for a minute. This is ultimately the final job of the editor: to make sure a film’s story is fully realized.

Since 2007, Robyn Scaringi has done everything in her power to bring her love of film to the world through editing. Robyn’s belief is that the editor truly makes a movie’s story come to life.

All the Fonts for Final Cut Pro!

With today’s flashy graphics and hi-tech video, it’s easy to forget the importance of selecting a good font for your movie ahead of time. And let’s be honest: the last thing you want to do is waste time mucking through fonts.

So I’ve created a project that contains all the fonts in Final Cut Pro (version 6.0.6). This project contains a single sequence with text for all the 200+ fonts that Final Cut has to offer. Simply open the project in FCP, hit the up and down keys to review the fonts, and find the perfect font in seconds! And I’m offering this project free to fans of Scaringi Films (that’s you!). Just click this link to download the project. For Safari users, control click and select ‘Save Linked File As..’ to download the project. If Safari prompts you save it as a plain text document, click ‘Don’t append.’ The file name should end with .fcp

If you have any feedback or questions about the fonts project, be sure to let me know. Happy font hunting!
