White's work as an editor on the films directed by Apatow and McKay is unusual because of the importance of the actors' improvisations. Eric Melin's review of the film
Talladega Nights (2006) focuses on this aspect of White's editing, the MVP of the movie is most definitely editor Brent White. Just as he did with 2004's
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, White had to choose the best scenes from hours and hours of wildly different takes to fashion together something with a narrative arc that resembles a movie. It can't be easy work, but he had a little more story to work with than he did in the uneven
Anchorman. Minor continuity errors be damned,
Talladega Nights is one funny film. The editing of
Knocked Up (2007) was described in a feature article by
Stephen Rodrick in
The New York Times. Rodrick emphasizes the many different versions of the film that were created before deciding on the version that was released, "By the end of last month, when the final edit was done, I had seen five or six versions of
Knocked Up. While the arc of the film remained the same, seemingly every line had been traded in and out". == Personal life ==
