Seamless Transitions in Film and Video

Inspired by the great film editor Walter Murch, and his book In the Blink of an Eye, I decided to take a deep dive into understanding one powerful filmmaking technique: seamless transitions. I started by studying the impressive work of professional directors and editors and then applied the information I learned in practice to ultimately boil the technique down to its essence and understand how to make seamless transitions regularly in my own creative work. As film editing is my major and career path, the choice to present the culmination of my study in practice in the form of a video-essay felt natural and appropriate for this project.
