watch One of the best edits Ive seen...

[Ludmil Kazakov]

This is a short highlight reel, Official for the Olympics in London. The editor did such a great job that I had to share it. Its right on par!

It's good, though no better/worse than the 2 million similar TV spots I've seen over the past 3 months and will continue to see more of over the next few months...

On a side note: This year's Olympic songs are done by Muse and Mark Ronson, I think it's the first Olympics where they've actualy had half-decent 'official' songs.

Good build along with the song in the intensity and intimacy with the athletes. (so glad they showed lots of fencing included in there )

Take a look at the movie "Hot Fuzz" (from the Shaun of the dead folks). One of my favorite films for showing the power of the edit.

 

[Cracker Funk]

Ahem. I believe every great movie shows the power of the edit.

On the topic of the Olympics, I also really enjoy this song/clip, especially after watching the journey behind it.

Editing fast cuts to music can be impressive, but even editing in slow-paced features is just as, if not more impressive.

Fast cuts to music is one thing, but creating the timing of a scene is another.
That's not to take away from the editing in this, however.
