‘Wicked’ Editor Myron Kerstein On The “Human Moments” Between Elphaba And Glinda In New Editing Featurette
Editor Myron Kerstein discusses focusing on the human moments between Elphaba and Glinda in a new editing featurette for 'Wicked'.
Based on the long-running Broadway musical, Wicked follows the relationship between Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) as they meet at Shiz University to study magic. “As an editor, you have all the scope and scale and world building and CG animals and musical numbers, but at the end of the day you have to really care about this relationship between Elphaba and Glinda,” he says in a follow-up interview with Deadline. “We always felt like the Ozdust Ballroom was basically the set piece we had to get right, because if that didn’t work, the rest of the movie was going to fall apart.” Kerstein says he spent a lot of time figuring out how to make the scene as uncomfortable as possible at first, which is not the usual job for an editor.
