Watching Dailies Backwards

method of reviewing takes by starting with the last take of a setup and working backwards. Championed by editor Stephen Mirrione, the goal is to quickly identify a strong performance or moment to serve as a foundation. As Mirrione states, "I’ll watch until I see something I really like, and I’ll grab that and keep watching, and if there’s something I like better, I’ll grab that."
