“Film Editing: Great Cuts Every Filmmaker and Movie Lover Must Know is an eye-grabbing, succulent, book that helps you understand visually rather than in words, how those incredibly short pieces of film shot on the set or location come together to create a movie – a kinetic visceral sensation that can leave you breathless, moved, or profoundly transported. D.W. Griffith, the father of American filmmaking, famously wrote, “Above all, I am trying to make you see.” Gael Chandler does exactly that.”

“Gael Chandler’s Cut by Cut: Editing Your Film or Video is must reading for every student of editing. It is written in an understandable manner without sacrificing content. Finally we have a comprehensive text on the subject. It is what God and DeMille intended.”
