Incredible! I've been obsessed with Welles recently, and this was a perfect encapsulation of him and his films. His unfinished projects fascinate me the most

This biological documentary is among the very best any KZfaq channel has produced. In fact, i would argue that you couldn't find anything on TV that could compete with this work. Bravo!

Thank you for this video! Orson Wells really was the opposite of arrogant. Watching the Dick Cavett interviews, you can see what a genuine person he truly was. Such an interesting and likeable man. I thought Tom Snyder wasn't the best interviewer in general. I believe Orson shone during other interviews with smarter people, i.e., Cavett. I just love Mr. Wells & appreciate his work & his personality.

Brother, your editing skills are top notch. Just phenomenal work. I'm only a minute into the video so far, but I'm already blown away. I'm inspired each time I watch one of your videos. I don't know how this video isn't blowing up yet, but I'm sure that it will. Welles, for whatever flaws he may have had, is still one of my favorite filmmakers. Citizen Kane, Magnificent Ambersons, The Stranger, Touch of Evil, The Trial... yes, Citizen Kane is one of the greatest of all time, but there's more to find in that filmography if people haven't went looking.

Thank you so much, man, that means a lot to me. I definitely agree, and I think F for Fake is overlooked for not only how it influenced the documentary genre but also how it has influenced modern editing

Amazing video. So many voice over journalism is exponentially inferior to your story telling with contextual edits. Its so hard to make the subject start speaking instead of just talking about the subject and for 34 mins? Thats insane dedication towards this, great work and great video.

How can it be, that still, one of the most gifted artists in movie history is, alltogether, so underrated to this day. Yes, everybody knows Citizen Kane, but who really knows Orson Wells? A man, to which maybe just Kubrick can be compared. But no-one else!

it'd be awesome if somebody could re-mix this audio. it's a great little documentary but man... the music is SO loud that you can barely hear the dialogue in parts. I think just a simple sidechain and some compression would go a long ways.

@thisisastory 2 ай бұрын

Oh, really? May I ask which parts? Everything seemed fine when I was editing and mixing with my headphones, but audio mixing is not my forte, and I would like to increase the quality of my videos, so any advice helps.
