Interview with Editor Rosanne Tan, ACE, and the Artist
Rosanne Tan, an American film and television editor, has established herself as a respected figure in the industry. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Tan's journey in post-production began after college, where she landed on the online/finishing side of post-production, working mainly on unscripted projects.
Tan's impressive career has seen her work on high-profile projects, including the recent official trailer for the TV series Ahsoka. One of her most notable works is her nomination for the ACE Eddie Award for her work on Mr. Robot in 2020 and 2021.
Tan's portfolio includes the critically acclaimed Marvel's Hawkeye, where she utilised Boris FX tools such as Continuum and Sapphire to add temp backgrounds, Camera Shake, and other visual effects to meet tight deadlines. She regularly uses these tools within her Avid-based workflow. Some of her favourite Continuum effects are Gaussian Blur, Chroma Key Studio, Glow, Damaged TV, Film Glow, Vignette, Camera Shake, Jitter, and Color Correction. Similarly, some of her favourite Sapphire effects are Blur, Grain, Distort, Film Effect, Film Damage, and Glow.
When facing creative burnout, Tan takes walks to clear her mind. To fuel herself during an epic editing session, she relies on coffee, almonds, and fresh-cut mangoes.
In terms of artistic inspiration, Tan re-watches films from her favourite filmmakers. Some of her favourite films include The Last Emperor, LA Confidential, Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List, The Shining, Back to the Future, The Godfather, Heat, Parasite, Jurassic Park, Titanic, and many more. She also enjoys watching TV series such as Mad Men, The Pacific, Southland, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Sopranos, The Killing, Succession, The Walking Dead, The White Lotus, and many more.
If given the opportunity, Tan would collaborate with a diverse group of artists, including Steven Spielberg, Kate Winslet, Denis Villeneuve, Tom Hanks, Kathryn Bigelow, David Fincher, Bong Joon-Ho, Antoine Fuqua, Guillermo Del Toro, Denzel Washington, and George Clooney.
Career advice Tan would give her younger self is to not be hard on herself if something doesn't work out, not to be afraid to seek help or advice, to network whenever possible, to try to maintain a work-life balance, and to exercise to stay healthy.
