Coffee & Content: The Ultimate Guide to Editing Transitions & An Actor's Guide to Networking

Happy Sunday Creative Army!

Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee and let's dive in.

First up, our friends over at StudioBinder put together a great video about all the scene transitions you can use in when cutting together your film. Specifically, this video shows nine types of edition transitions: fade, dissolve, match cut, iris, wipe, passing, whip pan, smash cut, and the J-cut. You will see examples from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Shape of Water, La La Land, and more.

Next up, Acting Career Center has an amazing video about networking tips for actors. In this video, Atlanta-based actor Kurt Yue shares his tips on how and where actors can effectively network to advance their acting careers. Kurt has over 50 IMDb credits and started acting with no previous connections or experience!

RB, just had an excellent illustration.  Michael Jackson’s You Rock My World music video.  It’s it 20 anniversary.  I wondered why I had trouble remembering. I thought it was my physical location but that was the year my mom died.  What an honor to honor her with a scholarship fund.

A very informative video! I had heard about a lot of these when I took a film class at university, but hadn't heard of the match cut, iris, passing, whip pan, smash cut, J-cut or L-cut. Really enjoyed this one!
