We decided to take generative AI's pulse once again, as it (almost) becomes sentient ! Each of us also share one clip created with AI and discuss it, ultimately learning that our dear Piotr is a traitor to the show, since he distributed his own AI generated clips to advertise his (excellent) short film "Yellow Ticket" and probably made money off our sweaty backs (Piotr denies making any cent, but who can you trust nowadays ?).So, AI or not AI ?The links to the videos discussed:https://youtu.be/OVA09Osw7mQhttps://youtube.com/shorts/PaXYURkrNs4https://youtu.be/gWlfmUrazFw--We'd love to hear from you!Perhaps you have questions or comments on how to improve the podcast or episode ideas:Shoot us a message at [email protected] you can send us a voice message here: https://www.speakpipe.com/CTRAlso, the music we use is from Artlist!Check them out here: https://cuttothepoint.com/artlistSponsored by the Editing Chef program: https://cuttothepoint.thinkific.com/courses--Cut To Reveal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cuttoreveal/Cut To Reveal website: https://podcast.cuttothepoint.com/Cut to the Point YT channel: https://youtube.com/cuttothepoint Hosted on Acast.

We invited Robert Frost, editor of Slow Horses, to talk about movie rating and film review sites. What are their pros and cons?

Piotr, Ricardo & Erwann deconstruct their favorite action scenes (or not !) from an editing standpoint, what works and what doesn't, and why. They talk action in animated films, why John Woo is still the king of gunfights, and Gareth Evans' vicious and entertaining "finishing" moves.How about you, do you have a favorite movie kill in action films ?Here's the link to the youtube version: https://youtu.be/Yp9TTpqY7Z8--We'd love to hear from you!Perhaps you have questions or comments on how to improve the podcast or episode ideas:Shoot us a message at [email protected] you can send us a voice message here: https://www.speakpipe.com/CTRAlso, the music we use is from Artlist!Check them out here: https://cuttothepoint.com/artlistSponsored by the Editing Chef program: https://cuttothepoint.thinkific.com/coursesEdited by Erwann Kerroc'h--Cut To Reveal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cuttoreveal/Cut To Reveal website: https://podcast.cuttothepoint.com/Cut to the Point YT channel: https://youtube.com/cuttothepoint Hosted on Acast.

Ricardo and Piotr ask Erwann to share tips on cutting action scenes, since he has worked many times with professional stuntman-turned-director Jean-Charles Rousseau. They discuss key tricks to make action look and sound better, while revisiting Erwann's shorts and famous action movies. Then they all fight each other to death to know who's the best editor.What's your favorite action film?--We'd love to hear from you!Questions? Comments? Improvements?

1st episode of a new year (2025) and a new season! Ricky, Piotr and Erwann do a 2024 year in review. The episode hits with Erwann playing "Love Theme from The Godfather" on a music box, he gifted the others for Christmas. Then he complains about not having a nickname. The boys discuss their goals for the year: Ricky and Erwann don't want to put things off and Piotr wants to get rejected more and something about exposing himself. Then talk turns to movies from 2024 they enjoyed (and hated), if Erwann succeeded in watching a movie-a-day in 2024 and what to expect from Cut to Reveal in 2025.

Episode 30: Piotr tries to sell Ricardo & Erwann on jumping ship and abandoning their NLE of choice for the upcoming, revolutionary (his words), cloud based NLE: "Sequence". Erwann details why Final Cut finally releasing a big update is something that gave him back hope in a better life, as Apple embraces AI to catch up to its competitors. Finally Ricardo talks about the polish Camerimage Film Festival, where for the first in real life he got the chance to meet Piotr (and Cate Blanchett)! This american boy mentions how surprised he was to find out that Poland is an actual country - who knew ?How about you ?

Episode 29: The gang investigates the Rashomon Effect ! They discuss the Kurosawa movie that started it all, the unreliable narrator theory, how the psychology field seized the term, and how Rashomon's legacy can be felt to this day in cinema, through movies like Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" or David Fincher "Gone Girl". Ricardo also forces his co-hosts to listen to his painful childhood memories, Piotr acts as a game show host when linking the Rashomon effect to the Mandela effect, and Erwann bores the hell out of everyone by talking about his love for an old TV show that noone cares for.Can you think of other movies or TV shows that use the Rashomon effect ?-----Links for some of the things we talked about:Studio Binder: What is The Rashomon Effect in Film? - https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-the-rashomon-effect-definition/Wikipedia: The Rashomon Effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon_effectAkira Kurosawa - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Kurosawa#Criterion: The Rashomon Effect - https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/195-the-rashomon-effect?srsltid=AfmBOooDwTjvHU1kW9QGBMXE-P3u2T6x4IbX8ChJYWTtxQOOAYWOrsicTwisted - https://youtu.be/xEnLOKe6__A?si=E5EtXvs6AQ2j64eYRashomon - https://boxd.it/2a9KThe Last Duel - https://boxd.it/mQbeAmerican Psycho - https://boxd.it/28Vs12 Angry Men - https://boxd.it/2auI-----Let's build a community!Questions?

Episode 28! Ricky, Piotr and Erwann have been giving each other feedback on their projects, so they talk about how to spare everyone’s feelings while giving constructive criticism. They wonder who to ask for feedback, what to really keep from the notes given, test screenings, and the insanity of rating movies with the thumbs up/thumbs down method that streaming services enjoy. Also, is "It’s boring!" good or bad feedback ? Piotr says it's good...Let us know if he’s wrong!--We'd love to hear from you!Questions? Comments? Improvements?
