Re: New blog post from Philip Hodgetts. Worth the read.

[Jeremy Garchow] "Without an editor watching one single frame, the show is extremely and roughly put together as written. It obviously won't stay that way, as things start to get fleshed out it might all change, but days and days of organization/prep was saved right there. It's not that crazy. Editors will still have a very important role, no question, but asking for more time won't be in our vocabulary for much longer."

Interesting argument. If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like you're proposing metadata as a way to potentially automate the manual work an assistant editor would do. Following Walter's argument, the assistant's task would shift to entering the metadata. Is this the basic idea?
