Werner Herzog (#botd) visited the set of The Shining (1980) while Stanley Kubrick was shooting Danny’s famous tricycle scene. Kubrick worried that the sound of the wheels going from hardwood to carpet, over and over again, felt wrong and out of rhythm. However, Herzog loved it and he convinced Kubrick to keep it.

A scene from F.W. Murnau’s masterpiece Faust (1926), where the demon Mephisto takes Faust on a flying tour of the world. To fake this in the 1920s, the crew built a hidden iron platform in the studio to hold the actors, using massive fans to blow their capes and billowing glass wool to create the surrounding clouds. They then used double exposure to layer the actors over a moving, miniature model city, making it look like they were actually soaring over the mountains and rooftops.

The legendary editor Walter Murch cuts on the exact frame an actor blinks, which is the way your brain edits. Editor Walter Murch argued that the best cut often lands on the exact frame an actor blinks, because a blink marks the end of a thought. He laid this out in his book In the Blink of an Eye. Murch treats the blink as the body's own edit point. The idea links human attention to the rhythm of cutting.
