In the Blink of an Eye is celebrated film editor Walter Murch's vivid, multifaceted, thought-provoking essay on film editing. Starting with what might be the most basic editing question - Why do cuts work? - Murch treats the reader to a wonderful ride through the aesthetics and practical concerns of cutting film. Along the way, he offers his unique insights on such subjects as continuity and discontinuity in editing, dreaming, and reality; criteria for a good cut; the blink of the eye as an emotional cue; digital editing; and much more. In this second edition, Murch reconsiders and completely revises his popular first edition's lengthy meditation on digital editing (which accounts for a third of the book's pages) in light of the technological changes that have taken place in the six years since its publication.
Must Read for Editors
| Customer Rating:  | | All of the material in this book is focused on theatrical films but there are strong correlations to the world in which most of us live, editing on and for computers. There is a section at the back that talks of the coming digital age. Well, we're there and ironically, Walter Murch turns out to be quite a prophet. The book is full of insight and wisdom that even transcends the media arts when he talks about his life and the impact that his son's challenges had on him as a person and a film maker. For me, this is a must read for anyone that edits video, regardless of the methodology or final output. It will encourage you to become better at that craft. My only regret is that there is not a 2008 version where Walter Murch can share with us what he sees next on the horizon. |

On time
| Customer Rating: | This book is considered a "must" for all editors. Murch is pretty famous for his work and style so, in my opinion, I agree it's worth the read (and worth having). My book arrived on time and in the condition promised!
Satisfied customer overall! |

Very helpful!
| Customer Rating: | | This book has a wealth of information for the inexperienced and beginner, film editer, or anyone who is looking for a good book on the subject. I have found it to be very helpful, as I am still learning how to do professional editing! |
