Saturday, June 13th, 9:00 AM. The Manhattan Edit Workshop auditorium in New York was filled with people of all ages who had come to learn more about film editing. Many were students, laptops in hand.

A match cut is when you cut from one scene to another, but the place where you want the viewer's eye to focus on is in the same spot in each composition.

EDITING GENDER

Do you like chocolate? Yes. Will you ever give up eating it? No. It's relatively easy to understand the difference between 'yes' and 'no'. However, according to new research, understanding the behaviour and interpretation of the words 'yes' and 'no' is surprisingly much more difficult to pin down.

I think most people in our industry would recognise this sentiment, though Mr. Catmull’s book expresses and explains the processes more clearly and more insightfully than any other I’ve read.
