Warner E. Leighton

Warner E. Leighton

Warner Elvon Leighton (July 31, 1930 - March 20, 2005) was an American film, sound, music, effects and supervising editor. An only child, he married Margaret (P.J.) Webb on March 3, 1984. During the 1960s Leighton edited many William Hanna and Joseph Barbera cartoons such as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Atom Ant, Scooby Doo, The Secret Squirrel Show, Johnny Quest, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear, and Space Ghost. He also edited a lot of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee cartoons such as The Fantastic Four, and Doug Wildey cartoons such as Jonny Quest.

Leighton edited "Gone in 60 Seconds." There was no official script for the movie, apart from several pages outlining main dialog sequences. Much of the action/dialog was improvised and made up by the cast and crew as they went along. This caused many problems for Leighton, who never knew what footage was being dumped on him or where in the movie it belonged. In the DVD audio commentary, he described the script for the construction site portion of the main pursuit as a piece of cardboard with a circle on it. Leighton edited "The Junkman" and "Deadline Auto Theft" for director H.B. Halicki.

Leighton edited several TV movies. He edited the movie C.H.O.M.P.S, The American Dreamer for actor, director, producer, and stuntman Dennis Hopper, and Wolf Lake.
