Chandler demystifies editing technology and reveals the creative work flows and story-telling secrets of professional editors. I highly recommend the book for aspiring editors, assistants, and anyone who is interested in how motion pictures are made.
Briana London, A.C.E., Army Wives, Grey’s Anatomy, and A.C.E. Eddie winner – :
An essential guide for aspiring and professional editors and should be required reading for anyone who really wants to direct. Chandler gives us a bird’s-eye view of what it takes to create our invisible art while proving that we are not invisible artists.
Michael Ruscio, A.C.E., director and editor, True Blood, HBO – :
What most impresses me about this invaluable text is the way the author embraces new technology and wrestles it down to the very basic concept of storytelling… This book demystifies the editing process while encouraging each editor to find his or her own unique and individual method.
Jonathan Corn, Editor: Entourage and two time Emmy nominee for Curb Your Enthusiasm – :
Cut by Cut provides a comprehensive, logical look at what is ultimately a creative process. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about film or video editing; from the novice wanting to know the basics, to the professional needing to refresh their skills.
Jay Scherberth, Editor: Friends, Scrubs, Real World, Columbo – :
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just getting started, Gael Chandler’s book will serve as a comprehensive guide through the post production process. This book is a must read for anyone facing the challenge of editing their own film or video project. Cut by Cut How to Edit your Film or Video is truly the A-Z of “how to” manuals on editing.
