JUMP*CUT

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"JUMP*CUT is....The absolute best book on becoming an editor I have ever seen; it felt as though I were reliving experiences I've had with my own assistants over the years. The editing insights are heartfelt and laid out beautifully, I recommend reading it over and over. Lori and Diana have given aspiring editors an amazing gift."

"JUMP*CUT is a book every assistant should read when deciding to be an editor. It is easy to read, entertaining, informative and filled with detailed information that only someone who has been in the trenches would know. I even learned a few tricks. It gives good sound advice regarding the politics of the cutting room. I wish I had this book when I was starting out."

-Maysie Hoy ACE

"JUMP*CUT covers everything. It talks about character editing, manipulating the eye, and shaping story, as well as some of the unwritten and malleable rules of the editing room. It is an honest, practical and wonderful book about moving along your path to a fulfilling career. By far the question I get asked the most is how to get a job. The second is how to move up from assistant to editor. Coleman and Friedberg's previous book, Make the Cut, ably answered the first question. JUMP*CUT answers the second."

-Norman Hollyn ACE

-Alan Heim ACE

(...) They are expert guides that anyone looking for career advancement should listen to!"
