John Lasseter provides some advice on making a story reel for a film and its importance in the process of making a Pixar film.

Agreed

From the page: "Learn to edit - Regardless of whether or not you intend to edit your film yourself, you need to learn how to edit. If you donâ€t know how to edit, then youâ€ll never know if your movie will cut together at all. Or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, youâ€ll shoot way more coverage than you could possible use and your editor will have to sift through hours of pointless footage. This is also a bad thing because if the editor gets bored while sifting through useless footage, he is more likely to half ass his way through the edit. If youâ€ve directed the thing right, the edit should naturally evolve from the footage itself."

I found out she will be my Editing 2 professor, she has a pretty cool site.
