Cut to Reveal

Is AI going to bury us editors (and humanity) ?

We decided to take generative AI's pulse once again, as it (almost) becomes sentient ! Each of us also share one clip created with AI and discuss it, ultimately learning that our dear Piotr is a traitor to the show, since he distributed his own AI generated clips to advertise his (excellent) short film "Yellow Ticket" and probably made money off our sweaty backs (Piotr denies making any cent, but who can you trust nowadays ?). So, AI or not AI ? The links to the videos discussed: https://youtu.be/OVA09Osw7mQ https://youtube.com/shorts/PaXYURkrNs4 https://youtu.be/gWlfmUrazFw -- We'd love to hear from you!

Movie Rating Systems Are BROKEN (Or Are They?)

We invited Robert Frost, editor of Slow Horses, to talk about movie rating and film review sites. What are their pros and cons? Plus why wouldn't Erwann put a "heart" to his rating of Piotr's short film? All that and more in this episode. What do you think of movie rating systems and sites?

Movie fights VS film editors

Piotr, Ricardo & Erwann deconstruct their favorite action scenes (or not !) from an editing standpoint, what works and what doesn't, and why. They talk action in animated films, why John Woo is still the king of gunfights, and Gareth Evans' vicious and entertaining "finishing" moves.

Tricks to PUNCH UP your action edits

Ricardo and Piotr ask Erwann to share tips on cutting action scenes, since he has worked many times with professional stuntman-turned-director Jean-Charles Rousseau. They discuss key tricks to make action look and sound better, while revisiting Erwann's shorts and famous action movies. Then they all fight each other to death to know who's the best editor.
