Editing, Art or Science? Movie or Website.

By greg on September 7, 2005 10:55 AM

I find that I remake a movie at least three times: when I write it, when I shoot it, and again when I edit it. The one I didn't realize--and that still seems wildly underappreciated to me--is editing.

Well, here's hoping that EdgeCodes.com has a long, successful run at Two Boots Theater and beyond. From A.O. Scott's review, this documentary about the history, theory, practice, art, and science of film editing sounds awesome.

Since 2001 here at greg.org, I've been blogging about the creative process—my own and those of people who interest me. That mostly involves filmmaking, art, writing, research, and the making thereof.

Many thanks to the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Program for supporting greg.org that time.
