This animated short (below) is a great visual representation of what the role of an editor is. The video expresses the editor's importance on storytelling through the use of sculpting, slicing, shaving and carefully selecting clips. It goes on to say that we impose form and go through hundreds of creative, selective and structural decisions.
Many people underestimate the importance of an editor's role... I have always had to explain to people what the role involves and why it means so much. After viewing this short, it gives me an even clear understanding to what tasks an editor is confronted with on a daily basis.
