Are any of these youtube video essay channels actually fucking good?

I fucking hate these. this, kaptainkristian and nerdwriter and the reddit embodiments

no lol

>>82922246

>>82922208
Every Frame a Painting is pretty good. Nerdwriter can be good too.
But most of them are pretty terrible. I saw one about Persepolis being an "orientalist" movie and it gave me cancer

>>82922246
And why?

check out this channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL5kBJmBUVFLYBDiSiK1VDw/videos

i think his video essays are pretty good and in depth.

other than that there are certainly a lot of bullshit arts out there.

>>82922538
How soon will you die?

no. never look for insight or knowledge on film or art from geek culture... beyond genre trope discussion/assessment anyways.

hell, even critic and journalist culture is offbase at this point.

>>82922208
Guarantee they are all made by people who have never made a film in their life. So no, they are not good. They are fucking cringe and useless. It's academia at it's worst.

This guy does okay essay, its sad that he mostly focuses on capefilms as its the only thing that seems to garner views

Channels like YourMovieSucks yeah, but the guy and girl from every frame a painting are freelance editors.
The criterion collection actually hired them to make a video essay for Tampopo so theres that.

>>82922663
This is my problem, I'm fucking sick of seeing pseudo, entry-level analyses of Rick and Morty or capeshit or fucking whatever flavor of the month surface level media everyone's already talking about. Are there any channels that actually go in depth on the technical side of film history or at least analyzes content with more depth than "The Hidden Existentialism of Guardians of the Galaxy" or whatever the fuck.

>>82922592

Nerdwriter is the redditest youtube personality around

I like Movies with Mikey. There isn't any pretense of trying to be an end all interpretation of a film. It's "I like this movie, here's why."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omXcqEJYA58

Also, he's makes a pretty good argument that Fifth Element is a Die Hard movie.

Reminder

I would kill for a /tv/ review channel where everything is either REDDIT or KINO, like TheBestGamers

>>82922208
The only ones I like from Tony are the Jacky Chan one, because he basically summarizes what we've all been complaining about action in Hollywood and provides a solution, and the music one about how temp music makes modern film scores bland.

Nerwriter is just milking reddit money. He's a faggot, and greedy. He probably browses /tv/ but makes buzzfeed tier shit to make $$$$.

Lesson from the screenplay is alright. A bit autistic and pedantic.

This guy >>82922592 seems like an even more verbose Nerdwriter.

Overall, they are only good when they reveal some trivia about the industry. Like temp music, or some behind the scenes stuff most people are bot autistic enough to know. Otherwise, who wants to hear some faggot speak authoritatively about film "criticism" when non of them have ever made or written anything worthwhile. Oh don't give me that "my video essay is like a short film, so I'm a filmmaker" BS.

>>82923708

I've been feeling the urge to make a channel where I watch poorly reviewed movies or popcorn/kids movie shit and talk about what's good about them. No analysis, no formal language or attempts to educate, just finding the best parts of bad movies and any reasons to watch them.

>>82926626
you mean like cinemawins?

>>82926748
Just had a look, kind of like that. The praise seems a little forced and formal though, and they're targeting every blockbuster that comes out rather than the shit movies of yesteryear.

Lessons From The Screenplay

I actually think every frame a painting is pretty good. It mainly focuses on editing and camerawork/mise en scene and the guy is an editor himself so he seems to know what he's talking about. Unlike other channels.

Nerdwriter is a complete pseudo intellectual. His video on Picasso is basically him reading out everything you'd find in the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article about one of Picasso's paintings.

nerdwriter makes me cringe with his highfalutin nonsense.

kaptainkristian is p good tho

Except kaptainkristian isn't a flaming sjw and puts an incredible amount of time and effort into his videos. Also there're not just about a single subject matter.

Every frame is good for what it is, entry level analysis for this starting film and television. Even if I don't always agree with him, he usually explains himself well.

>>82922208
I can't begin to imagine how pissed of artists must be by this. A frame from a film is not even close to the technical and creative achievement of a good painting.

>>82925945
Yes.

>>82934113
That's not the point of the statement. It's about composition

>>82923276
That's probably the best vid on the channel.

>>82933953

> I've never watched a single kaptainkristian video

And yet here you are pretending that you have. Why lie?

They're fine for laymen. The only time they actually cause problems is when the laymen think they're experts because they watched a few 20 minute youtube videos. 95% of the time they're just saying basic shit anyone who has spent their life watching / studying films can comprehend at the very least intuitively.

The opposite of this is of course /tv/ retards who may have a deeper understanding of cinematography, but ONLY intuitively through exposure to vast amounts of movies acting like they're superior despite not understanding the mechanics and other aspects of film making.
Whole things a crapshoot 2bh, you can't paint everyone with the same brush, shades of gray ect ect, not worth raising your blood pressure over.

They are nowhere near shit like Extra Credits with video games spewing garbage opinions as fact, as well as factually incorrect statements and still lauded as knowledgeable contributors to discussion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD-YZbeajeY

>>82934431
>>82934431

> Extra Credit

Was that the guy who made a long winded retarded video about how wireless space was limited and how we were running out?

>>82934750

Yes.

He also does a History series that has blatant inaccuracies but is still popular because normies are fucking retards.

Tony is legit. Pedagogical and accessible for plebs, still insightful for patricians. His love of cinema is pure and not ego-driven. Essays are well-structured and with basic but important points. Keeps his reddit sensibility and SJW politics out of his videos. He was a breath of fresh air when he appeared, no one had done simple essays with this level of production quality and style without neglecting the substance, it was always one or the other but never the right balance. Doesn't force a schedule onto himself to release vids, just does whenever he feels he has something worthwhile to share.

Nerdwriter is the complete opposite, a complete fraud, nothing but reddit pandering, reddit ideology on complete display, poorly structured, incredibly pretentious (fucking hate this slowed-down voice thing he does to trick the viewer into thinking his words carry great meaning) despite saying nothing of worth. The fact that he always shows his face (Tony never did) is proof it's completely ego-driven e-whoring for easy crowdfunding bucks, the absolute cancer of youtubeshit.

Youtube is shit. Read In the Blink of an Eye by Walter Murch

Criswell used to be good, but now his videos are like used a thesaurus for every word. His Girlfriends channel (art reguard) is astoundingly bad though, I can hardly understand a word that bitch says.

I wonder if /tv/ could do any better.

This. They have nothing interesting to say so they supplement with high production value.

Rob asked for film discussion sites once and i reccomended /tv/ in the comments because it suits his level of autism. He might even browse this place now kek.

He not only does the most in depth and original analysis, but actually seems to be a likable and genuine person.
Another good analysis channel is
>Darren - must see films
https://youtu.be/2untlg3bFmk
https://youtu.be/pZ6j8plBDsg

He is underrated as fuck and has done a few podcasts with ager i believe


>Film herald
https://youtu.be/V3MEcpOG4Yg

Also does pretty good stuff. Under 30k subs.


>voxis productions
https://youtu.be/GWqTj-LuXCs

not analysis, but /tv/ related and funny as fuck. dude shilled his stuff here once and it was actually outstandingly entertaining. If you're reading this i love you dude.


>goodbadflicks
https://youtu.be/oyIqeano8O0

goes more in to how scenes were constructed/the production side, not really analysis, more a look of the history behind certain films.

>georg Rockall-schmidtt
https://youtu.be/fFjPdv45_wk

Entertaining lighthearted stuff more than hard analysis. Doesnt just do /tv/ stuff but is quite funny and his videos are comfy.

>>82934750
They also claim to have a shit ton of game experience, but as far as I remember it was a minor ass role.

The only good series they have is the animation one, but only because that one has actual correct information.

every liberal on the planet unequivocally supports femfreq, probably donates to them, and will tell you you're an unperson if you disagree. feminism is basically their religion.

enjoy knowing that every person you don't hate is just as retarded as you are outside of their own tiny little area of expertise. probably more retarded.

>>82936628
I'm liberal and I hate radical feminists like her. I hate the term feminism too, which to them, means equality. I hate Black Lives Matter too.

They're both fucking cults.

These

Recently found wolfcrow who does basic analysis of cinematographers and lighting techniques

Criswell can be good, but he seems to be leaning too heavily towards making grand statements about art rather than film analysis.

He got one of his videos on a Tarkovsky Blu Ray though, which is crazy.

If you care, he was also very critical of Anita.

http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/2016/02/10/off-center-mad-maxs-headroom/

If you want some real high level shit read Bordwell's essays and watch his videos on filmstruck.

I don't mind it when people like something, it just gets fucking retarded when they have to take it that extra babby-step further and add "AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN POO ON YOOOU"


I mean, is that really necessary? Can't these people just be like "I like femfreq"? Why do they have to get antagonistic about it? If someone replies with "well I think femfreq sucks," they can' just answer back with "well that's your opinion." I swear everyone has the fucking mentality of a preschooler these days, which is even more embarrassing to watch when you remember most of these people are now in their late-20's to mid-30's. Tony made himself look like a little bitch boy and to this day he probably wouldn't be able to figure out how.
