Known for Editing
Brent White is an American film editor with credits on feature films dating from 1993. White has worked on comedy films produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Apatow, Adam McKay, or Paul Feig. White's work as an editor on the films directed by Apatow and McKay is unusual because of the importance of the actors' improvisations. Eric Melin's review of the film Talladega Nights (2006) focuses on this aspect of White's editing, The editing of Knocked Up (2007) was described in a feature article by Stephen Rodrick in The New York Times. Rodrick emphasises the many different versions of the film that were created before deciding on the version that was released: "By the end of last month, when the final edit was done, I had seen five or six versions of Knocked Up. While the arc of the film remained the same, seemingly every line had been traded in and out". White received his bachelor's degree in film production from the BYU College of Fine Arts and Communications (Brigham Young University) in 1983. White is married and has four children. He lives in the Los Angeles area. Description above from the Wikipedia article Brent White, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
