What our customer's say!

"Must Read for Editors", 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.

"Excellent service and price", The book arrived quickly, in great condition, was a great read and at a good price. Would definitely buy from them again.

"On time", 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!

"more walter murch", are walter murch books overrated? at least there's no trace of michael ondaajte (spelling?) here.

"Very helpful!", 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!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"It's a book about Story Telling and narrative design", Sometimes a book's own hype kills people's appreciation of it.

With Murch's classic, the problem is that it is considered a classic text about editing, simply because it is a biographical account of an editor at work.

It is not about the techniques or tools or modern equipment necessary to edit a film. If you seek a functional book to learn the fundamental skills of visual film editing, this is not something you should purchase.

It's very much more a story telling book. Most specifically if you are a writer, or, if you consider your film directing as 'writing with pictures,' this book will elevate your ability and understanding of 'writing with film.'

The old adage that 'film is a visual medium' is wrong.

Maybe that's why a get a little uppity about catchall phrases. Like "Film is a visual medium." It's not. Not really. It has music. It has dialogue. And, it exists over time.

One painting, is a visual medium.

Film, is 24-paintings per second with noise, weight, drama, visual, action, cognitive momentum, magic, and trust and hope. Film, as the casual and professional observer speaks of it, is more likely a cognitive medium. Film more closely approximates our external reality more than any other media, and it is Murch's perspective -- as the ultimate unifier of the other filmed elements -- that reminds us of that. He casually reveals what he knows about his art and how to design a dramatic narrative based on upon cognitive principles.

If you stumbled across this book just because you just dig making and writing films that much, than this book will excite you for the price of a Starbucks lunch. And it's better for your body than crumbcakes and coffee.

"In the Blink of an Eye", It's a quick read, and somewhat entertaining. Not something I would recommend as a schoolbook for an editing class, but if you are interested in the editing process, it's a good read.

"a editing classic", Every editor needs to read this, it will change the way you think about editing.

"I'll never see movies in the same way again", Murch is uses everyday language eloquently to describe what he does and how he decides just where to do it. This is a time of tremendous change in how movies are made. It's fascinating to read a master's description of this transformation process in language that a nontechie, as I am, can understand.

"i read it in the blink of an eye", a quick and easy read. i was expecting a more in depth look into the editing process, but this book just skimmed the surface. i guess its hard to get that much info into such a short book. other than that, it was a very enjoyable read. murch compares the directing styles of several filmmakers and the pros and cons of different editing outlets (ie. mechanical vs. electronic). he uses lovely analogies to describe the editing process, such as comparing it to dancing. its a good book for a plane ride.
