Editing is usually an invisible craft. When it’s good, you hardly notice it. When it’s bad, you wish it had been better. 

But in the below six spots – all nominated for outstanding editing in G.E.M.A.’s 2024 Latin America TV/Streaming Awards – editing is the star of the show, making these pieces pop as the footage syncs up to the chosen music. 

"Uno Para Morir" Trailer, Paramount Plus

This spot for movie Uno Para Morir (English title: Death’s Roulette) uses quick cuts and high-strung music to ratchet up the tension while briefly laying out the plot of the film. 

‍Extreme Icon Franchise, Warner Bros. Discovery Latin America

Using the "X" in "extreme" as a graphic device, Warner Bros. Discovery Latin America has fun focusing on action heroes – in this case, Denzel Washington. 

Olympics, All the Shine, Promo TV Globo

Set to an almost unrecognizable version of "Eye of the Tiger," Globo makes the most of this Paris Summer Olympics spot, seamlessly cutting between past and present and setting it all perfectly to the song. 

‍"Anderson Spider Silva," Paramount Plus

Paramount Plus traces the story of Brazilian mixed martial artist and professional boxer Anderson "The Spider" Silva and scores it to a cover of Bill Withers’ "Ain’t No Sunshine."

Sony Movies 2023

Sony showcases its movies in this fun piece that includes such films as Jerry Maguire, A League of Their Own, Spiderman, The Professional, Jumanji, Passengers, Venom and many more.

Movies on Globo TV 2023

Globo is back showing off its bag of editing tricks in this movie showcase spot, including split screens, screen-in-screens, match cuts, and sharp wipes in all directions. 

The Global Entertainment Marketing Academy of Arts & Sciences (G.E.M.A.) will celebrate the winners of this year’s Latin America TV/Streaming awards later this fall. Stay tuned for more details and in the meantime, check out all of the nominees here.
