read about gain staging , and ya its a bitch and an art P <| sep |> That wasn ' t a pick six tho . <| sep |> Same here , I can only improve by hawking or by getting stronger finishers by ranking higher , thus getting UR MA and finisher higher than 59 . Stones dont work towards any of that , only SA and special hawk rewards do well , theorically I could LB if I get reissues , but my chars are VERY specific , 5 out of 9 are from SA and Ares anyway , and only a GE reissue would have decent odds for me to spend P . <| sep |> I edit a reality TV show . Freelance . And I live in Tel Aviv , Israel . I ' ve been working with the same production company fot the last 3 years , before that I used to do promotions for prime time TV . then i switched to reality TV . it pays more and gives constant work for months on every project . They company I work for have had back to back productions and we are a small team of between 46 editors that work on a season which usually consists of 30 episodes . We come and go as we please , but the guys that missed their deadlines are no longer with us . I have a 1 year old girl so my life changed a lot this year , I usually arrive around 8 and leave around 17 . Each of use is working on a full episode . So usually I take 5 days to watch , and make and assembly . Then another 5 days to craft a basic story and add all the testimonials . Then i talk with the director and producer and together we decide what are the main stories and what is important because he knows the seasonal structure . Then we start screening and doing revisions , until it goes through all the approvals . Producer , network etc . It ' s nice to work and an episode from start to finish , it ' s not always the case in reality TV . The show is on cable so there are no broadcasting deadlines , only budget ones because our producer is super cheap and greedy , so he only keeps very efficient editors and I don ' t do my best work . I try to build a great story and I don ' t fuss about with every musical cut and transition .
