The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation is putting together a series of DVDs - entitled 'Journeys Below the Line' - showing how TV works 'behind the scenes'. The show chosen to be the focus of the first installment? '24', of course.

The first installment, '24': The Editing Process' documents the distinctive way in which Anne Melville, the show's script supervisor, oversaw each scene in last season's finale, as well as the role of the editors and postproduction personnel. The popular Fox series was a natural, the filmmakers suggest, because editing is a strong suit.

The DVD includes an interview with '24' co-creator Joel Surnow, another with Penny Johnson Jerald - AKA Sherry Palmer - and an introduction by Kiefer Sutherland.

You can buy the disc from First Light Video Publishing. The only downside is that it'll cost you $80. A bit expensive, but probably worth it if you're a mega-fan of '24' who really wants to look into a career in editing for TV or film.
