Great to chat with @BBCRosAtkins for a forthcoming Making the Media Podcast episode about his new book - The Art of Explanation. We talked about simplicity, complexity, constant velocity and ‘high protein’ news! #podcast #news

I'm working on Volume 2 of Art of the Cut... so much awesome stuff in here. I asked Walter Murch, ACE about pet peeves in editing. One of his was cutting on matching action.
This is from the "Miscellaneous Wisdom" chapter.
What do YOU think?

There’s good advice here that applies to any profession…

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

A 22-year-old follower recently messaged me asking for career advice.

Here are the 5 pieces of advice I shared:

1. Swallow the Frog: This is one of the greatest "hacks" to get ahead early in your career. Observe your boss, figure out what they hate doing, learn to do it, and take it off their plate. Easy win.

2. Do the "Old Fashioned" Things Well: There are simple things that still stand out. Look people in the eye, do what you say you'll do, be early, practice good posture, have a confident handshake. It sounds silly, but these things are all free and will never go out of style.

3. Work Hard First (& Smart Later): It's in vogue to say that working smart is all that matters. Wrong. If you want to accomplish anything meaningful, you have to start by working hard. Build a reputation for hard work—take pride in it. Then you can start to build leverage to work smart.

4. Build Storytelling Skills: World-changing CEOs aren't the smartest or most talented in their organizations. They are exceptional at: (1) Aggregating data and (2) Communicating it simply & effectively. Data in, story out. Build that skill and you'll always be valuable.

5. Build a Rep for Figuring It Out: Early on, you'll be given a lot of tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work, ask the key questions, get it done. People will fight over you.

Embrace those 5 pieces of advice and I guarantee you'll stand out and be on the right track.

If you enjoyed this or learned something, follow me @SahilBloom for more in the future.

@kyl33t Congratulations!!

@mjeppsen @editblog Not to the students who get the benefit now…

[Bryan Castle Jr @bcastlejr]

This is huge.

Media Composer is now FREE for All College Students

[Bryan Castle Jr @bcastlejr]

@pitapixels Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

[Bryan Castle Jr @bcastlejr]

@amanguides The offer to schools is for standard Media Composer, not MC First. It’s the real deal. Plus, teachers and students alike are given free training to help learn it, so they’re not left to just figure it out. 👍🏼

[Bryan Castle Jr @bcastlejr]

This is huge!

There’s no excuse now for students to not to learn Media Composer too. The more you know, the more marketable you are, and Avid-skilled editors and assistants are in demand.

And teachers!

Don’t worry if you don’t know Composer or haven’…https://t.co/B5uF0wXHOk
