5.0 out of 5 stars great book, July 29 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: In The Blink Of An Eye (Paperback)

Of all the books I have read on editing, this is definitely my favorite. It really goes into the thought processes behind editing - focusing less on the technical aspects and more on the creative. The author really has a handle on what makes people tick and instinctively draws from that when editing film. Walter Murch is a genius. Very exciting reading for us film geeks.

4.0 out of 5 stars do editors dream of digital moviolas?, May 28 2002

This review is from: In The Blink Of An Eye (Paperback)

I belive it is very hard to write a book on film editing, maybe the best way to teach this is with a video or in an actual class. But this book does acomplish a couple of interesting things. You will love to read the "blink of an eye" theory in this book.
I really recomend this book to get the feeling that a great editor has on the whole cuting business.
His final words on film editing on compuder sistems are a little behind, because his book is like 7 years old. Finaly I belive his questioning to the NLE systems really makes you realize what you are missing on your final cut or premiere system.
Buy this book.
