PARIS, (JR) -- Another editing day at the postproduction house Wizz. The editor Sylvie Landra and the director Jonáš Rejman worked out the final version of the shortfilm Monitio.
Jonáš Rejman hit the plane for Paris to finish the edit of Monitio in a last session with Sylvie Landra at the postproduction house Wizz.

"I needed some time off Monitio, to be able to return to it with a fresh mind. I work on it for a long time now, it is difficult to stay objective. I showed the edit to a couple of people and discussed their opinions vie e-mail with Sylvie. We were able to point out some weak points that we saw and as Sylvie was willing to invest another editing day, I returned to Paris, " explains Rejman.

As Wizz freed its editing rooms Rejman and Landra met again to make the final cut.

"It was a scary step for me to make the decision, to set a point-of-no-return. But now, I am very excited about what we did with Sylvie. The movie is edited. I will not change a single frame.
The cooperation with Sylvie gave me an insight into another class of film-making. Not only she is an amazing craftsman, she is also a master in the art of editing.
Thanks to her experience, we could finish the edit of the movie in 6 days to its perfection. She always knew exactly where to go or what to try out, at times I would have been completely lost. The credit, that the film works goes mainly to her perfectionism, as she gave it the prefect shape. Now we have a very solid base, from where we can continue the postproduction, " smiles the enthusiastic director.

"I am proud to having done Monitio, " said Landra for goodbye while she head for work on her next project that will lead her to China.

Rejman will visit his composer Ferran Cruixent in Munich to discuss the shape of the score and return to Prague.

In the following weeks, the sound design will be made in the soundstage Soundsquare in Prague, while the composer, Ferran Cruixent will work on the score in Munich. A high-speed Internet connection is established between the two studios.

"This gives us the possibility to check and double-check the progress of the scoring and the sound design at the same time, to make sure, they go in the same direction. Both of the process influences each other. A close cooperation is important to avoid delays or unnecessary steps based on misunderstandings," explains Rejman.
