“Filmdance energy is produced through editing as well as the camera. Movements can be shortened, interrupted, and put together in such a way as to heighten the perception of energy. An extreme example of such an energy is obtained by interrupting motion at its climax. For instance, the filmstrip of a leap can be cut so that both the preparation and the landing are taken out. If a series of leaps were cut in this way, so that the low-energy preparation and landing were not used, the effect would be to communicate a series of nonstop high-energy climaxes of motion.”
From Filmdance: Space, Time and Energy by Amy Greenfield (1983)
