Oh, I am so happy to see this post! And you read The Blink of an Eye! I love that book. I'd forgotten about the dire warnings about digital editing, which are pretty funny considering that Murch was one of the very first professional film editors to use Final Cut Pro. (:

I'm happy to learn about Cutting Rhythms -- I want to see if our library has a copy. Nifty!

And no wonder your Festivid is so good!

Thank you for letting me know it was worth posting! :)

I don't think I've covered everything I liked about the Pearlman, and I don't know if it will be as striking to more experienced vidders, but obviously I really really liked it -- and it took a different approach than I've seen in meta online or heard at VVC.

Whereas I find the kinetic stuff much harder than the visual! But interesting.

OMG you did not mention in The Cutting Edge: Quentin Tarantino, who wants a female editor to NURTURE his film (Reservoir Dogs!), with a gleam in his eye that says he thinks he knows how disordered this makes him. I think he is wrong!

OMG I forgot how much that whole thing reinforced my desire never to see any of Tarantino's films!
