when the audience doesn't get the joke

Intro

when you stop casting your actors off the street

this is the tightest comedy dialogue ever

when the filmmakers get stuck with an unlikable character

a $4M period film shouldn’t look like this

when the editor has to fix it in post

no wonder star wars never got any better than this

when you hire the author to direct the movie

when the director dabbles in some color theory

because green screens are for suckers

Conclusion

when a modern director makes a fake old movie

when the original voice actor is just too iconic

when the director actually listens to feedback

when green screen actually makes the movie better

when the director is overqualified for the job

when you find a way to dance in every movie you're in

When You’re Basically The First Marvel Movie Villain

when the sequel surpasses the original

if it ain’t broke… break it

Heath Ledger talks about playing The Joker

when you realize you’ve been watching the cropped version this whole time

The first Mission Impossible had no business looking this good

when the comic book movie dialogue is actually realistic

yay, modern filmmaking...

Editing

when you hire stunt guys to direct the movie

when the movie is too quotable to fail

when your protagonist has no name

when you hire a genius to compose your movie score

the rest of the story

when the director forgets to call cut

when the director is reeeally good at their job

In this video

when the filmmakers respect the communities they’re depicting

when a little studio interference turns out to be a good thing

back when vin diesel was an indie filmmaker

when the animators are given half the time and money that disney gets

What is it in itself

when the movie's average shot length is more than literally 3 seconds

when you’re actually a pretty decent filmmaker though

Overture (Star Wars)

tropes

they were only allowed one, so they shot it from a ton of different angles and pretended it was more

that moment you realize it's not cgi

when the filmmakers respect the communities they're depicting

nature

Brad Bird
