"Editing is what makes film a film." That audacious statement is made at the beginning of this 2005 documentary about the art of film editing. After listening to many editors and directors, movie novices as well as cinephiles may agree. Kathy Bates narrates this whirlwind history of the art punctuated by dozens of scenes to illustrate the effect of film editing in heightening reality and making a visceral impact on the filmgoer. In fact, the profession seems to be run on "a gut feeling" whether it's clipping a few frames, or 20 minutes of the final act (which we learn happened with Lenny). James Cameron illustrates the importance of a frame as we see a scene from Terminator 2 with 1 frame out 24 missing (24 frames representing one second of film). Or as Quentin Tarantino states, "musicians have notes, editors have frames." It's fascinating to see how editing--the process of assembling the film after it's been shot--can save films, make performances better, and become the ultimate jigsaw puzzle. The last concept is demonstrated as we return time and again to the most well-known editor of the time, Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient), as he edits a few scenes from Cold Mountain in front of us. We see how he works with light, covers mistakes, and controls emotion. For those who wished for a sequel to the excellent documentary on cinematographers, Visions of Light (1993), here's the next step (although made by different folks including first-time director Wendy Apple). Now, anyone want to tackle art directors? --Doug Thomas

I have enjoyed showing this DVD to students that are interested in editing. It's educational AND edgy. Not rated for children though! It does have violent scenes, so be sure to watch it yourself before showing it to your audience.

This is a must buy for any film fan, film maker or film editor. An extremely informative, if talky, exposition on the art, the craft, the science, the illusion, the storytelling, the magic, the importance of motion picture editing. You sit at the feet of the masters who happily share their philosophical and practical approaches to this ethereal subject. This is an unabashed, unapologetic appreciation of editing moving images. Yes, it is heavy on the "editing is everything" concept. But so are ... Read More

I don't know who would need to use this product. It has very little use information about cutting a film.The material is not for any students. Waste of time.

Did not learn anything. Lots of foul language. Not a training DVD for sure.

This is a great introduction to what editors do to make movies. Film school, it's not. But it's a great overview of the evolution of editing. I used it in my beginning Final Cut class to introduce the students to the concept of editing and storytelling. Highly recommended.
