LOL, Witch Hazel looks like Carmilla Harris LOL

Kurosawa in motion, Ozu in stillness.

I worked on The Spy Who Dumped Me. It’s literally edited improv.

Back on here in 2024, this channel was way ahead of its time as we're saturated with the same predictable films and scores.

video made before Endgame and Portals.

Excellent video!!

Pure and absolute magic 🥰

Yeah, but this doesn't gel with the desire to show reality, which apparently trumps all nowadays

oh nujabes is so goated, i know my nujabes when i hear him

Continuum (2012), set in Vancouver, 2012 & 2077

wonderful takedown of hollywood

a man, a legend, a myth and an institution. We teach Buster Keaton in our filmmaking courses and trust me, every time I watch his movie I learn something new, I discover something new. One of the greatest of all times.

Fantistic,Excellent!! Growing up watching the WB and Chuck Jones cartoons. Now watching your story makes total sense why this is timeless. I'd watch them with my kids and the simplicity was easy for them to relate to. Great work, i'm passing this along to a artist friend of mine.

Ah. Yes. How to forget the time Jackie chan killed Jesus with a death claw to the holy nuts.

I still miss the days of Vancouver being a sleepy little logging town before It was destroyed by it's own "Sucess" 😢

There was a short-lived tv series called studio 60 on the sunset strip and Bradley Whitford was discussing filming locations and someone suggested Vancouver and he said "We can't film in Vancouver, it doesn't even look like Vancouver, it's more like Boston California....." lol

Vancouver doesn't want the glory just the $$$$$$$

Of course, it's easier to try any camera approach when you've got Roger Deakins in your corner at all times

I come back to say, you are the father of an era. I hope all i well with you.

Its not surprising to see Danny Elfman, his theme at the beginning of Spiderman is the only thing I can remember. Those strings and horns eere pretty good but its true I can't remember the melody exactly

All video essay channels are still, in 2024, trying to recapture this lightning in a bottle

A guy I knew in college lived next to Chuck Jones in Albuquerque. He had a bunch of cells from these.

You were wrong. As i always believe, you compared things known for decades and a theme barelly used. Do it today and see it for yourself.

I mean, the main Avengers theme is iconic and memorable.

Nice 👌🏻

Nice 👌🏻

Nice 👌🏻

Joe rogan brought me here

Eventually, Marvel gave us Quantumania. Bland bland bland

I watched The General ysterday, its in the public domain. I'm going to watch is again as soon as i have the time. Its not just the stunts, I feel like i can relate to him.

Marvel movies are garbage

Something odd about those Avengers shots is how big everything is. Why does the shot need to be so wide, and why must they be in a huge room? Scenes are generally a lot more effective if the room is only as big as it needs to be. For example, Pulp Fiction has a lot of scenes with Vince and Jules talking. They're in a car, they're sitting across at a table, they're in a hallway. It's close and personal so you can kinda feel the energy of the conversation. Having the same conversation in a giant room or in an open field with a wide shot just wouldn't feel right. It's like someone said "we should put the avengers in a huge room so we can do more CGI!" If the purpose of the scene is a bunch of super hero CGI stuff, then yeah go ahead and make a huge scene of that. If you're trying to have a conversation, cut all that shit out and focus on the characters.

Alfred Hitchcock noted something very important many decades ago - most movies are just people talking. You are seeing pictures of people talking, so what's the point of the picture? The picture itself should be part of the art. An excellent example of visual storytelling is the intro to Rear Window. The camera pans over news articles that tell you about a guy crashing a car, who he is, what his job is, then it pans over to that guy in a wheelchair. Without saying any words, you know what is going on. In your example of how to communicate travel, the single best example was Snatch. The guy says he's going to Antwerp, he slams the phone down, flash scene of a taxi, flash airplane, flash him showing up, "shut up and sit down you bald fat fuck". It's so jarring but it's very clear he's in a different location.

Whats a cc button besides captions above?

This explains why I dislike modern films and series so much. People making movies by the numbers, just doing what is most efficient. Kurosawa films are the stuff of legend.

We Americans dont want this either. We want American shows done in The US. Its annoying foreigners are taking potential American jobs. Its stupid for both countries.

What is that song in the end?

What a curious fact. I'm from Brazil and I have just found out about this because there's an episode of Supernatural series that Dean and Sam get pushed into another reality where they are themselves in real life and are filming Supernatural series... in Vancouver BC.

So that was the history of the meme

I'm incredibly late to this video, but Edgar Wright is easily one of my favorite directors for all of the reasons you mentioned. His use of music with scenes (Baby Driver especially) is so different and entertaining, and I absolutely love his style of comedy just through how he shoots things.

oh god I just got flash banged at one am by that vine mention!!

3:04 - What film is this frame from?

I'm so disappointed that you didn't show the hot fuzz fence gag😢 at 07:14

What, did u find the 10 people on the planet who can't remember the Avengers theme?...🤨... Maybe with the Iron Man and Thor movies, I'd agree with you, but Gaurdians and Avengers always stood out to me...🤷‍♂️

His films are terrible.

It's 2024, this video is now 10 years old, and I still think it's the best video essay ever made. Where did you go, Tony? We all miss you.. 😢

This specific video puts so simply into terms why I love art in general. There is so much to think about in so many pieces as to why they are there. What catches the eye, where the artist intends you to look, or what the focus of the piece is. The channel name calls back to this too so perfectly, this movie is showing you why paintings are so entrancing without you thinking about it. The gaze of the characters, the leading lines drawing your eye, it applies to so much more than film and can grant you appreciation for other forms of art when you recognize these techniques.

There have been a handful of hollywood movies that actually do take place in Vancouver. Eks Vs Sever. Intersection but my favorite Shoot to Kill.
