I particularly like the way that juxtaposition works in so many time-travel stories as they jump-cut between and among past, present, and future space-times. ❋ Unknown (2009)
His quick jump-cut moves are sometimes reminiscent of Barry Sanders or LaDainian Tomlinson, but Moreno's lack of elite speed will probably keep him out of the draft's top 10 picks. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Picture the 24-year-old, philosophically-inclined, possibly zonked-out Malick seeing it for the first time in 1968, watching Kubrick vault, in a jump-cut, from the dawn of man and the invention of violence into meticulously realised space travel sequences, through the Stargate hallucination into a space beyond … uh, time and space. ❋ Unknown (2011)
A jump-cut to today's art fairs, gossipy Internet chatter, and ubiquitous and extreme extensions of what an L.A. artist said to me in the 1970s—"Hey Pete, I think I've figured out a way to make some paintings"—is hardly a jump at all. ❋ Peter Plagens (2011)
The jump-cut from 1895 to 802,701 lets Wells compare, in a very immediate way, the vibrant present of Victorian industrialism and the devolved far-future of the barely human Eloi and Morlocks. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Because the jump-cut ethos of the book means that it takes effort with each scene break to orient youself (which is an artistic choice in this case; this is an observation rather than a critique), which messes with the line of direction and the flow through the book, and results in a somewhat mentally strenuous reading process. ❋ Ianmcdonald (2008)
He maintains a delirious, jump-cut pace as words flash dark-to-light-to-dark, and sentences coil and snap, conjuring a macabre carnival atmosphere. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Rather than simply fade out and fade in, or jump-cut, he calls attention to his move from scene to scene with the insertion of a visual effect whose closest equivalent is that moment in so many Looney Tunes cartoons when a character is momentarily electrocuted - and they suddenly turn into a black-and-white x-ray of a skeleton. ❋ Marshall Fine (2010)
In just about every one of his organ works, in fact, Buxtehude tosses off some musical inspiration — a melodic turn, a clash of harmonies, an unprepared jump-cut to an entirely new texture and tempo — that Bach would have at least thought twice about. ❋ Matthew Guerrieri (2007)
While the major signifiers of Jewish life in the post-World War II era continue to be Judaism as religion, the Holocaust, and Israel, independent American Jewish cinema seems to subvert that triumvirate with images of hybrid identities, interfaith romance, oppositional politics, and jump-cut collective memories. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Warhol, too, often claimed that his static camera films — so against the grain of the 60s avant-garde jump-cut style of his day — were a throw back to early cinema, where the camera was incapable of even so much as a pan. ❋ Unknown (2007)
And even this rough jump-cut in my life can be summed up with a clip from Toobworld that blends both stories together: ❋ Toby O'B (2009)
Or was the jump-cut from Heston to a mental image of Obama parting a large body of water (a classic female symbol) meant to rile sexual insecurity in white men? ❋ Unknown (2008)
A small bit of jerky-ness when characters are moving quickly or scenes jump-cut especially in well-lit situations, but watch-able. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Making a 2001-like jump-cut from the particular to the general, then, it is safe to say that adaptations that can stand on their own need not be scrupulous with regard to the source material. ❋ Patrick J. Smith (2008)
