- Strings Cut edits 107 films into match-cut experiment
Editor Nikita Didenko's Strings Cut is an 80-second kinetic film experiment constructed from 107 Hollywood movies. Strictly using centered compositions and continuous match cuts, it creates an abstract narrative through motion vectors and recurring geometric forms, synchronized to a hyper-dynamic violin score. The project was manually assembled through Shotdeck-based shot logging and extensive frame-by-frame analysis.
