This match-cut is a remarkable specimen, rarely seen ... usually they jolt you, a hard punctation beat ... but this one is the opposite, smoothly transitioning from the flowing alcohol to the moving train.

(The Lost City of Z, 2016, John Axelrad & Lee Haugen)

The flash cuts in this sequence are insane. It feels like it's never been done before, at least not to this extremity. I'd love to know how many shots there are? Vashi Nedomansky, ACE ? Piotr Toczyński 🎬 ✂ 🎥 ? Daniel Kwan ???

(Everything Everywhere All At Once, 2022, Paul Rogers)

Inspired by Simon Smith, ACE, one of #myfavouriteedits :
The change of pace at this point in ‘His Girl Friday’ (1940).

Editor Gene Havlick sometimes lets shots play out in a way that shows the film’s stage origins, but then can speed up a great deal when the story needs it.

#myfavouriteedits the re-purposing of clips from hundreds of hours of films and TV to create a new coherent narrative is incredible. Cut with interview, observational documentary and beautiful drama reconstruction, this is an absolute masterclass!
(Still, 2023, Michael Harte)

I want to contribute this to Simon Smith, ACE library of #myfavouriteedits . A fascinating split-screen montage from S6E10 of Better Call Saul. Edited by Chris McCaleb and Joey Liew. I love the build-up both in the story and editing.

#myfavouriteedits this is it - the greatest split screen ever! I'm floored by its ambition & execution.
Watch it, watch it again, watch it again!
Gondry and Tronick are magicians.
Todd Vaziri Wren how did they do this?
10+ cameras?

#myfavouriteedits Jean-Michel Basquiat biopic, starring Jeffrey Wright 🥜, that beautifully dances in and out of experimentation. So many cool cuts - getting high watching a music video and calling a suicide hotline in VO stuck with me.
(Basquiat, 1996, Michael Berenbaum Michael Berenbaum)

#myfavouriteedits #postchat That match cut from the meaning of life by the Monty Python as always struck me as perfect technically, and it links the 2 scenes in a magical way. Also both those scenes are hilarious
