TEMOIGNAGES
« The Skype session with Jenny Smets was really nice! Not just because I did a different sequencing, but also because she showed me what to look for and how to sequence a project thinking as a viewer. She is a really nice person, and also really talkative, same as me! The first hour and a half we were talking about the project, the pictures and what I want to achieve with it, so we ended up doing a 3 hours and a half Skype session. I think we both were comfortable and we didn’t actually thought about the time.
It is the first time that I do a sequencing with a professional editor, I really liked how it works, and I hope I can work like that in future projects. »
