skateboard editing

About five minutes into this video I think the editing is really good. Reading a little in the Eye is Quicker I think the rapid editing in this video is exactly the concept that the book is duscussing. The idea is to edit in such a way that it's not noticable- it's just smooth and easy and you don't think to yourself, man this is really choppy and doesn't go together... it keeps the pace. I think one of the ideas the book talked about was cutting in action and the incoming cut is just about as action packed.I notice they use a fade sometimes when the incoming cut is slower. There also seems to be a rythme to the cuts that even includes the actions of the skaters. They land according to the beat of the music.
This can be compared a little later in the video when they hand the board off to another and then throw. Some of the throws are a little off- where when they cut the board comes in slower or higher in the next frame. Sometimes though it works really well. This section starts about ten minutes into the video.
