I highly recommend “this hour and a half documentary on film editing”:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1873681186241686073.
Update: Sorry, it’s gone.
The is a documentary about the unappreciated art of film editing. It shows how film editing came about, and explains all the groundbreaking … all » ways it has changed the film watching experience. There are a bunch of interviews from big names in the film industry including Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Jodie Foster, and many more. This is really a must see for any big film buff.
Update: Aha! It turns out that it is available for purchase on Amazon! Thanks Goose.
Just watched the documentary and really enjoyed it. As an aspiring writer/director it was really interesting to hear the thoughts on editing of so many great directors and editors. Thanks for the link Michael.
the film was deleted, is the film available elsewhere?
Not that I know of. It was a BBC production, if that helps any.
Thanks for recommending, Michael. Amazon link.
