This is the second volume of the widely acclaimed Art of the Cut book published in 2017. This follow-up text expands on its predecessor with wisdom from more than 360 interviews with the world’s best editors (including nearly every Oscar winner from the last 30 years). Because editing is a highly subjective art form, and one that is critical to the success of motion picture storytelling, it requires side-by-side comparisons of the many techniques and solutions used by a wide range of editors from around the world. That is why this book compares and contrasts methodologies from a wide array of diverse voices and organizes that information so that it is easily digested and understood. There is no one way to approach editorial problems, so this book allows readers to see multiple solutions from multiple editors. The interviews contained within are carefully curated into topics that are most important to film editors and those who aspire to become film editors. The questions asked, and the organization of the book, are not merely an academic or theoretical view of the art of editing but rather the practical advice and methodologies of actual working film and TV editors, bringing benefits to both students and professional readers. The book is supplemented by a collection of downloadable online exclusive chapters, which cover additional topics ranging from Choosing the Project to VFX. In addition to the supplementary chapters, access to the full-color, full-resolution images printed in the book—and other exclusive images—is included.

Now an Academy Award-winning Netflix film by Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst: Thomas Savage's acclaimed Western is "a pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain. Set in the wide-open spaces of the American West, The Power of the Dog is a stunning story of domestic tyranny, brutal masculinity, and thrilling defiance from one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American literature. The novel tells the story of two brothers — one magnetic but cruel, the other gentle and quiet — and of the mother and son whose arrival on the brothers’ ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel’s startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage’s voice — and the intense passion of his characters — holds readers in thrall. "Gripping and powerful...A work of literary art." —Annie Proulx, from her afterword

In her latest book, Dawn Antoniak-Mitchell turns to the subject of managing and training what she labels “Power Dogs.” This grouping includes dozens of breeds who were originally bred to hunt game or to protect people and their property, many of whom were also employed as fighting dogs. These are physically strong dogs relative to their size, usually with a mix of ancient Mastiff and Bulldog ancestry, and some have more recently been bred to Terriers as well. These dogs tend to be protective, tenacious, and often exhibit aggression toward other dogs, but at the same time are playful, energetic and smart.

This 2nd Edition of "Power of the Dog" is an updated version of the acclaimed original work published in 2009. Now in 2014, five years of new findings are in this newly released edition, which is unique among dog books. The new research is both woven into the real-life stories about dogs and their superhuman powers, as well as found in new chapters added to this newly released treatise about how dog beats man at 37 feats. (See the "Table of Contents" where they are enumerated and grouped into nine categories). Anyone who has witnessed even their pet dog under duress-or rescue dogs at work-will attest that dog behavior can far exceed expectations when something is wrong, especially when its master is involved or a dog rescue is initiated by the military or police. Dogs-whether in the military or our pets, can-with proper dog training-become "masters" themselves; that is, experts at a variety of feats, from finding their way home, discovering a missing soldier in war, to detecting human maladies or impending natural disasters. Virtually all dog breeds have at least some ability to do an amazing array of things better than us, not just police and military dogs, but our household canine pets too. Research has proven dogs can do some things better than humans, even when we are aided by the latest technology or a team of experts. This book is about the myriad things that man just cannot beat dogs at, from telepathic and physical feats to the metaphysical and emotional. Today, with decades of research, these canine powers are not nearly as mysterious as they once were. Scientists of all stripes-animal behaviorists, veterinary researchers, zoologists, medical doctors, and trained psychologists-have been unlocking some of the mysteries of how dogs do the amazing things they do. This is the subject of Power of the Dog, which cites their research throughout in an entertaining and informative text that's chockfull of true stories. Its focus is on things at which dog beats man, from saving lives in peril, to predicting the future, to improving the life, health, and wellbeing of the canine's "next of kin," us, the species of man. Thousands of years ago, we took wolves out of the wild, fed them, pampered them, cared for them, and above all loved them and got their love in return. That wasn't a bad deal for either of us, was it? This book is about both sides of the deal, and it will help you understand dogs and maybe even shed some light on why they understand us, too.
