Chrapka was hired in large part due to his work on the Canadian series “The Camps” which investigated the internment camps of World War I in Canada. This might seem an odd pairing for a religious based talk show but it was Peter’s ability to edit these short form presentations that convinced Jeff Stout (writer for the programs produced by the Trillennium Media Group) that his skill set was ideal for these programs. Stout comments, “I hired Peter to be the editor for Jim Cantelon Today and The 700 Club Canada, both of which stand among Canada’s most watched and longest running religious television series. Peter’s accomplishments in the industry are numerous and incredibly impressive. The degree of success which Peter has achieved in his professional career mark him as one of Canada’s top editors. The work he did for our programs was a certain indicator that Peter would receive the accolades that he has and we are quite proud of our association with him.”
An accurate comparison of TV to film might be that of sprinting and a marathon. While film allows an editor like Peter to contemplate and discuss varied approaches to achieve an emotional tone, daily programs such as “Jim Cantelon Today” and “700 Club Canada” demand quick action based on an instinctual reaction which, in the case of Peter Chrapka, comes as the result of training. Whether on TV programs such as these or his work in a number of other formats, Chrapka continues to prove himself an asset to any production wise enough to enlist him.
