The Mandalorian - Season 2

Editors - Jeff Seibenick, Andrew S. Eisen ACE, Adam Gerstel Editors Jeff Seibenick, Andrew S. Eisen ACE and Adam Gerstel (along with editor Dylan Firshein) joined "forces" to deliver a follow-up season to the Lucasfilm/Disney+ hit that surpassed even the highest expectations from the ardent fanbase. Using their now legendary virtual set technology, known as "the volume", the post team was completely integrated into the production process and could help craft and refine the storylines at a highly accelerated rate. JEFF SEIBENICK With a background rich in comedy tv editing on series such as; Parks and Recreation, Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals, Jeff helped craft one of the more serious aspects of Season 2...getting inside the mind of the imperial troops! ANDREW S. EISEN ACE Considering the cinematic approach the editing team applies to The Mandalorian, it's no surprise to see Andrew's name in the credits of big sci-fi / action films like Transformers: Age of Extinction and The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. ADAM GERSTEL While Season 2 is Adam's first on The Mandalorian, he's no stranger to virtual set technology or working with showrunner/director, Jon Favreau.  Adam edited both The Jungle Book and The Lion King live action remakes with Favreau.
