In the world of filmmaking, editing seems to always get the short end of the stick. Those who delve into the process of making films soon realize that making shots flow together with picture, sound, and later music is an art form just as valid as directing, writing, acting, photography, and production design.
“Cinephilia and Beyond” is an incredible blog that never fails to surprise me with new information and tools that help me grow as a filmmaker.
