"Do you watch any of the film breakdown vids on YouTube?"
For some reason I happened on a video clip about Akira Kurosawa by Every Frame a Painting, a YouTube channel which features film analysis of cinematography and editing and visual storytelling, about three weeks ago.
Now I'm hooked on these types of videos. There's another channel called The Film Guy and another one called Lessons from the Screenplay.
Gossip mags and most film criticism doesn't do it for me because 1. I don't really care about the personal lives of artists and 2. Most film critics are too limited in their tastes and don't talk about filmmaking in their reviews. But I'm a sucker for technical breakdowns of art, especially movies, so these videos are like catnip for me.
Do any of you view these types of videos? If so, which channels are your favorite?
