In his Editing Master Class on Building Characters, presented by G-Technology, veteran editor David Teague described his techniques for developing characters in documentaries. The event was part of Points North Documentary Film Forum at the 11th Camden International Film Festival (CIFF), which ran September 17 – 20, 2015 in Camden, Rockport, and Rockland, Maine.
Teague has taught editing and worked as an editing mentor with the IFP Documentary Labs and the Karen Schmeer Film Editing Fellowship but is best known for his work as an editor on E-Team, which was nominated for an Emmy and won an award at Sundance in 2014, and Cutie and the Boxer, also a Sundance winner in 2014 and an Oscar nominee. For context, here's the E-Team trailer:
Stories from documentaries are often made in the edit room.
