Are you a Button Monkey?

• A button monkey, also known as a button pusher, is an industry term for editors who struggle to come up with creative ideas.


• The best editors possess five key traits: curiosity, collaboration, humility, brilliance, and compassion.


• Curiosity can be developed by exploring new techniques, experimenting with different styles, seeking inspiration from other video editors, asking questions, being open to feedback, and continuously learning.


• Video editors should always be open to learning and trying new things to develop new skills and techniques that can enhance their editing abilities.


• Experimenting with different styles and editing techniques can spark creativity and curiosity.


• Seeking inspiration from other video editors can teach new ways to approach editing and expand the knowledge of the craft.


• Great storytelling skills can help editors avoid being labeled as a button pusher.
