none for sam o'steen?

before the break:

while we were watching the opening sequence to the graduate in my editing 1 class, some of us noticed an edit that looked a little out of place in the scene. i wasn't for sure if the cut was done intentionally, or whether it was just the vhs tape. if the cut was intentional, it was forgivable considering the rhythmic pacing of the scene. the cut was also unnoticeable to the majority of the class, which might have been what the editor was purposely trying to accomplish, and get away with.

after viewing it, we went into brief discussion about the opening sequence. a student sitting a few seats behind me pointed out the same edit that looked out of place. as we rewinded the tape and looked at it again, the student blurted out something along the lines of: "oh wow, that was a horrible edit! even i can do better than that, and i'm only a beginning film student!"


i wanted to throw something at him
