Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Yang Jin-mo on Parasite, Mickey 17 & the Art of Editing
Q: What was your role on set during Mickey 17 and how did it influence the final cut?
My role was to follow the storyboard, ensure coverage, and perform simple composition work for timing, then confirm shots with Bong to move to the next sequence, keeping the rhythm consistent with the film's vision.
Yang Jin-mo on Parasite, Mickey 17 & the Art of Editing
Q: How does the editing process differ when moving from Parasite to Mickey 17?
The core process is the same, but Mickey 17 demands more on-set editing and larger-scale VFX planning, with on-set decisions guiding timing and composition while later post-production expands these choices.
Yang Jin-mo on Parasite, Mickey 17 & the Art of Editing
Q: Can you describe what it's like working with Director Bong in the edit room?
He enters with a clear vision but gives me space to experiment, often asking for input on where scenes can be tightened or made more rhythmic, and I present options before finalizing the cut.
The Raid Is Peak Cinema with Derry Shillitto, Plus David Hindson on Shooting Black Goat for £10k
Q: Why did you choose a micro-budget approach and what were the main compromises?
We designed the project around available personnel and locations, over-wrote to fit constraints, and focused funds on practical effects, color grading, and post, accepting compromises across the board to realize the page-to-screen vision.
The Raid Is Peak Cinema with Derry Shillitto, Plus David Hindson on Shooting Black Goat for £10k
Q: What was the budget and how did you approach financing Black Goat?
The budget was around £10,000 total; five grand were put into production and five grand into post, with both creators funding it themselves and taking on debt to finish the film.
