HBO’s The Last of Us is a TV show created and directed by Craig Mazin, and Neil Druckmann with a secret: it is an action show that doesn’t cut to the action. Instead, it takes a backseat to the character development of Joel and Ellie. We sat down with the talented editors of the show, Timothy Good, ACE and Emily Mendez to learn the editing techniques that made this series a streaming sensation in 2023. From the art of editing action sequences to creating heartwarming moments like a kiss, Timothy and Emily share their insights on how they use empathy to find the perfect footage. And Timothy gives a shot-by-shot editing breakdown of Episode 3 "Long, Long Time" that might make you ugly cry all over again.
