Joaquin Elizondo created Hollywood Editing Mentor because he wanted to share knowledge and help other editors.

I want to show the comparisons of what most people would do with a Mac Pro in maxing it out, seeing the cost and then seeing what a nearly maxed out HP would be, for the same price point. The idea is that you wouldn’t have to max out an HP to get the performance you are looking for and you will be able to save a lot of money in doing so.
When I first started out as a colorist assistant, I thought the colorist’s job was primarily to set unique and interesting “looks” for music videos, commercials and feature films. Yes, that is certainly a major component, but once I began to sit in the colorist’s chair, I quickly realized there was so much more to it than that!

The first time I met Shane was at Bandito Brothers last year, when he asked me to edit “The Last 3 Minutes.” I had worked for the Banditos as a freelance editor for 3 years and had cut […]
