I'm currently studying Film Production at university and in my second year, I did the editing option, while getting a A3 for the first assignment I got a lower grade for the second assignment which hurt by overall grade for the unit. I really wanted to get better at editing and I'm going to do Advanced Editing for my final year option weighting at 20%. There was tons of (good) books on editing which took to task the theory and software functions/shortcuts etc but what I was missing was a guide t I'm currently studying Film Production at university and in my second year, I did the editing option, while getting a A3 for the first assignment I got a lower grade for the second assignment which hurt by overall grade for the unit.

There was tons of (good) books on editing which took to task the theory and software functions/shortcuts etc but what I was missing was a guide to the 'personal' experience of actually cutting character, building scenes and creating an inticing experience. Art of the Cut was exactly what I needed! Not just editors from before but editors in the prime of their careers NOW! The book has many informative, fascinating and revealing insights about editing, including things which I already knew but helped understand better in a new context but also aspects of approaching cutting which I didnt even consider before and after reading the book with many a pen, highlighters and marking pages specifically, I fell 100% more confident going into AE.

I have very rarely felt so much as if a book was speaking directly to me. The idea of being able to look at the Avid bins of real Hollywood editors is like seeing the inside of a famous person's house. I loved the different perspectives and the true sense that there are many ways to work. Although many topics ran towards consensus, Hullfish doesn't flinch from putting contradictory methods and viewpoints right next to each other. It's a lot and best read in pieces. I've already loaned it out and I have very rarely felt so much as if a book was speaking directly to me.

A good insight into the editing techinques of top end editors. It doesn't cover basic editing, like "cut on action", it is more oriented on general editing experience and workflow. The word that appears the most is FEEL. All of the editing is based on how you feel it shoud be, there are no rules to do it. A good insight into the editing techinques of top end editors.

High gospel for aspiring editors and seasoned vets alike. I’m in the former category and highlighted so much of this book.

A great resource for editors looking to understand the others’ processes. Ironically, the way the interviews are edited together is distracting. Worth a read despite its flaws.

Opened my eyes to a lot. Still haven't been through the case studies with individual colorists. Opened my eyes to a lot. Still haven't been through the case studies with individual colorists.
