In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing by Walter Murch

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.5

This was really thought-provoking and helpful for me to read as a director! I've come to appreciate the craft of film editing so much more, and I've been made to think about it more deeply and philosophically than ever before. I'll never see editing the same way now.

It is a bit unfortunate just how much of the second edition of this book is concentrated on the technology of its day, making vast sections irrelevant and skippable in 2024. But very worth reading for the parts of the book that remain timeless.
