Concerns raised about TV editors' contracts

Posted Monday 17 May 2010

Eyeworks TV has introduced a new policy of contracting editors on a per-episode basis, aiming to reward faster and better editors, but sparking concerns that editors will be penalised for production problems they have no control over.  Screen Directors Guild representative Peter Roberts describes the change from hourly rates as unfair in this article in Onfilm, where concerns are raised that the practice could spread to other production companies in the current economic climate.
