ABSTRACT
Editing is to cutting as architecture is to bricklaying-one is an art; the other is a craft. Not all architects are brilliant, nor is all architecture high art, but at its best it is undeniably creative. So is editing. In the realm of film, however, the "architect" may also be the "bricklayer" or, more properly, vice versa: The cutter may be the editor, but not necessarily so.
