    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. How about you, do you have a favorite movie kill in action films ? Here's the link to the youtube version: https://youtu.be/Yp9TTpqY7Z8 -- We'd love to hear from you!

    2024 Year in Review

    1st episode of a new year (2025) and a new season! Ricky, Piotr and Erwann do a 2024 year in review. The episode hits with Erwann playing "Love Theme from The Godfather" on a music box, he gifted the others for Christmas. Then he complains about not having a nickname. The boys discuss their goals for the year: Ricky and Erwann don't want to put things off and Piotr wants to get rejected more and something about exposing himself. Then talk turns to movies from 2024 they enjoyed (and hated), if Erwann succeeded in watching a movie-a-day in 2024 and what to expect from Cut to Reveal in 2025. What are your favorite watches from 2024? -- Here are links to some of the things we talk in the episode: Dune 2 - https://boxd.it/pUfA The Worst Person on the World - https://boxd.it/oyws Jackpot! - https://boxd.it/FnMI 100s of Beavers - https://boxd.it/CyUM Conclave - https://boxd.it/AO8q Society of the Snow - https://boxd.it/y9aw -- We'd love to hear from you!

    The Future of NLEs

    Episode 30: Piotr tries to sell Ricardo & Erwann on jumping ship and abandoning their NLE of choice for the upcoming, revolutionary (his words), cloud based NLE: "Sequence". Erwann details why Final Cut finally releasing a big update is something that gave him back hope in a better life, as Apple embraces AI to catch up to its competitors. Finally Ricardo talks about the polish Camerimage Film Festival, where for the first in real life he got the chance to meet Piotr (and Cate Blanchett)! This american boy mentions how surprised he was to find out that Poland is an actual country - who knew ? How about you ? What's your NLE of choice ? ----- Links for some of the things we talked about: The "Sequence" website: https://sequence.film/ Camerimage Film Festival: https://camerimage.pl/en ----- Let's build a community!

    The Rashomon Effect

    Episode 29: The gang investigates the Rashomon Effect ! They discuss the Kurosawa movie that started it all, the unreliable narrator theory, how the psychology field seized the term, and how Rashomon's legacy can be felt to this day in cinema, through movies like Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" or David Fincher "Gone Girl". Ricardo also forces his co-hosts to listen to his painful childhood memories, Piotr acts as a game show host when linking the Rashomon effect to the Mandela effect, and Erwann bores the hell out of everyone by talking about his love for an old TV show that noone cares for. Can you think of other movies or TV shows that use the Rashomon effect ? ----- Links for some of the things we talked about: Studio Binder: What is The Rashomon Effect in Film? - https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-the-rashomon-effect-definition/ Wikipedia: The Rashomon Effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon_effect Akira Kurosawa - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Kurosawa# Criterion: The Rashomon Effect - https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/195-the-rashomon-effect?srsltid=AfmBOooDwTjvHU1kW9QGBMXE-P3u2T6x4IbX8ChJYWTtxQOOAYWOrsic Twisted - https://youtu.be/xEnLOKe6__A?si=E5EtXvs6AQ2j64eY Rashomon - https://boxd.it/2a9K The Last Duel - https://boxd.it/mQbe American Psycho - https://boxd.it/28Vs 12 Angry Men - https://boxd.it/2auI ----- Let's build a community!
