I was lucky enough to meet Walter Murch, introduced to me by my editing mentor, Donn Cambern on the night he (Donn) received his lifetime achievement award by the A.C.E. at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. At the time, I was already a fan of Walter, who had just come off film editing Cold Mountain (as seen in some of the clips in your KZitem essay). I deeply admire both of these men, who unlike most of the pretentious people in the film industry, were profoundly thoughtful, kind, and down to earth. As far as I can tell, the Hollywood industry was exceedingly lucky to have them in their midst. Sadly , Donn Cambern passed away last year. Excellent work on the video essay. I enjoyed it and have bookmarked the link.

I watch lots of KZitem tutorials, take courses and create projects daily to grow as an editor, but I forgot all abt that book. When I saw this video, I rush to my bookshelf to confirm I had the same book. I did and it was the 2nd edition. I feel so lucky to have it and have started to read it. My editing journey continues with it.

All great stuff. As a video editor for decades and a student of cinema, once I became a novelist, I tried to apply what I'd learned, wanting to create a movie in the reader's mind. This knowledge from Murch helps a lot. Writing on the page is all about shifts in focus, just like edits in film are. A sentence full stop, a paragraph break, a blank carriage return, even a comma, clause, or phrase, all indicate shifts in focus, some large, some small, some in between. What it took me years to learn is how important presentation is to what the reader experiences. Yes, the story, the plot, the characters, the line-by-line-all very important. But how everything is framed and the rhythm of framing it, is just as important. Much of the power of story lies in the presentation, and Walter Murch understands this. So maybe I need to do this even better. And maybe I can figure out how to make these 'cuts' in sync with when the reader 'blinks', psychologically, when their focus from element to element, shifts. Or maybe I can be who determines when that focus shifts for them. Certainly worth finding out. (you may notice above that this has been edited. Of course it has. I'm an editor. I edit everything! 😇)

Having taught media studies for 14 years at Uni, when it came to editing, In the Blink of an Eye, was one of my important resources when presenting and discussing editing in class. I also had spent a lot of time at the dailies on two features which gave me a lot of insight as well. Our editor had done a lot of the editing on Star Trek, and was brought in to finish the editing on Dances with Wolves.
