Mastering Storytelling in Film: The True Art of Video Editing

When I realized that video editing was never about adding flashy motion graphics or complex 3D animations...

...that just changed my whole perspective of editing.

The art films that Christopher Nolan creates also have the most amazing VFX and CGI; look at Interstellar for instance. It created one of the most realistic space atmosphere I have ever seen. And yet, the appreciation of how the story was narrated overwhelms anything that the film provides. And how the story was narrated? Through edit. Not the VFX or heavy motion graphic edit. The "cut" edit. As simple as it sounds, one wrong cut can collapse an entire film's storyline and therefore, spoil the script and years spent on shooting it in an instant.

This is where our films differ from AI videos. Ability of an AI generating human-like features and deceiving 3D environments is definitely astonishing.

But, have you noticed their "cuts" though?
