Jump Cut! Memoirs of Pioneer Television Editor
(During his 40-year career, the author became one of the i...)
During his 40-year career, the author became one of the industry's most respected television editors, receiving seven Emmy nominations and winning four of the coveted awards. But it was as a master of the jump cut--an editing style in which a sudden cut from one shot to another is made without a fadeout--that he is most remembered, and the term became his nickname. Mr. Schneider worked on many of Bob Hope's shows over the years, but it was for Laugh-In that he fully developed his editing style. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the development of television, from the days when some editing was done with a razor blade and tape to the electronic editing of today. Along the way, Mr. Schneider remembers the stars he worked with, from Gene Kelly to Redd Foxx.

My Fifty Years of Television History: Been There, Done That

This autobiography chronicles my career in television from my days as a cinema student at USC to my first professional job with NBC, a break that gave me the opportunity to meet and work with many stars, directors and producers including Gene Kelly and director Sam Peckinpah. It also gave me the chance to learn comedy and hone my editing skills from some of the best comedians including Bob Hope, a long time friend and later became part of his "extended family." I'm also proud of my two Emmy Awards for Julie Andrews specials along with an "Eddie" nomination from the American Cinema Editors organization for editing another one of her specials. The more than 1,100 programs I've edited include the very funny Laugh-In series that gave me the many marvelous memories I cherish while working in the fascinating television Industry.
