Movies and TV Great episode of Cinefix.

**Baby Lee** · 04-28-2017, 10:39 PM

I don't know how many check out the often excellent [if you pick the right authors/source] film and TV criticism channels on youtube.

The best of them are [IMO]

Every Frame a Painting
Cinefix
Nerdwriter
and
Great Movies I Love (and so can you)

And Cinefix did a GREAT entry today. What I like is the context to establish the intentionality of quality cinema.

It's apparently the first of a series focusing on specific shots, in this case focusing on certain framing distances.

I don't know how much familiarity with the source material helps, but this was almost more enjoyable than a new piece of actual cinema, revisiting the skill and craft that goes into conveying complex stories succinctly and memorably.

Every Frame a Painting is my favorite thing ever. I like Nerdwriter, too, but only when he sticks to TV/film.

You should also check out Movies with Mikey, since you like the others. Oh, and Lessons from the Screenplay.

This stuff was my passion in my 20s and 30s. These analyses use the same works we talked about way back then. I remember weeks pouring over the use of distance and framing in films like Barry Lyndon. Fun and unexpected to see these clips on ChiefsPlanet. Thanks for the post.

Yeah. I subscribed to the channel after someone, maybe it was you BL posted their breakdown of Bsttle of the Bastards. Sometimes if I'm having trouble focusing at work I'll turn them on. It typically makes me get less done. They're good vids. Each one.

EDIT: I pretty much watch these and things you didn't know. I stay out of most of the rest of the programming.
