“Sketch Edits” are a way for me to familiarise myself with what I have shot, and to experiment with how the footage can be cut together. It speeds up the use of the footage when I need a shot from a location for a fuller edit.

It is part of my attritional process of editting. Distilling down from say 20+ minutes of raw footage down to 3 minutes of tone poem, that will become 30 seconds of used footage in a final resolved edit.
