Ignore the gainsayers' comments about the "outdated" section on film versus digital. Murch's description of his adoption of a digital workflow and his examination of its strengths and weaknesses are invaluable today. I particularly appreciate his observations of the pitfalls introduced by the immediacy and convenience of digital shooting and editing - a lack of planning, a failure to look into and through the film (as the audience will see it in a theater), and the increasingly solitary nature of production (versus the intensely collaborative world of the film age). The Golden Age was great for a reason, and he gives good advice on keeping those higher principles in your work while you edit on your Mac or PC the footage shot on your sub-$10,000 camera.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in film production!
Unity and separation rely on the same fundamental core concept.

I was recommended it and thought "Yeah nah mate, I can't be assed"
And I'm so glad I did, this is really insightful and written by one of the great editors of our time! Genuinely cannot recommend enough

I originally bought this to learn about editing from one of the best which I did but my surprise was in that this book is also a powerful philosophical read on life!
Highly recommended!
