We just saw a guy who introduces us to another guy who introduces us to yet another guy who introduces us to one of his scenes. Nolan would be proud.

[@bakedutah8411]

Daniel Ortega, I just read a comment from a guy who notes that we just saw a guy who introduces us to another guy who introduces us to yet another guy who introduces us to one of his scenes. I have no idea who Nolan us.

[@mattrhys9418]

@@bakedutah8411 Christopher Nolan made the dark knight trilogy, memento, insomnia, prestige, inception, intersetellar, doodlebug

[@bakedutah8411]

Party Penguin, ahh; _that_ Nolan. Doi! 😬

Hitchcock: "You couldn't just take the camera and show a nude women stabbed to death" Game of Thrones: "Hold my beer"

at least it was done in an impressionistic way just like he said

[@infoana7871]

Surprisingly the auto subtitles are very accurate

[@miguelfcervantes]

This is probably the best episode this year. Thanks Ryan.

[@frankmakes]

I love the discussion of psycho, to use the audience's brains as another camera.

[@74jeepcj6]

Imagine Alfred Hitchcock as a KZbinr today

[@AbsolutKenny]

it will be legend.

[@Oddmartian2]

And he just does makeup tutorials

[@SONGLYRICS]

he would run away from bunch of youtubers trying to be entertaining. In other words he would stay very much away from the internet because seeing image getting overused would make him sick.

[@Bash_99]

he'd start beef with jake paul

[@WesleyProductions]

I'd watch it!

[@JAldricGaudet]

Excellent presentation. Clearly presented with an eye to expanding on what the 2 best experts on editing say. My only note would be to clarify that Walter Murch was presenting a top ten list for each single cut. The most important thing to consider at the cut point is number one. If any of the others are included all the better.

[@WeddingDJBusiness]

Good Stuff - It makes you think of how artistic film making has become. Once rules are made and understood you can then break them.

[@mdturnerinoz]

Great stuff! Enjoyed the 6 items and have written them down.

[@filmriot]

+Marty Turner Right on! Glad it helped. :)

it would be awesome if you guys challenged yoursleves to make a sketch with completley free stuff (software sounds ext.)

[@nanowhit]

Captain Cheesecake I bet you if they did, they'd use a $5000 camera

[@SWADEProductions]

nano.on.piano.official perhaps but they have said it over and over you dont need to worry about your gear per say but worry about your story telling. They did an episode with an iphone btw

[@nanowhit]

SWADE Productions yeah, I saw that. I suppose you're correct.

[@emastephens3422]

Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "videography tips youtube" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Piyason Videographic Ventures - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got great results with it.

[@thekaiser4333]

I would keep the "space dogs" and get rid of the "boy growing up".

[@desertstonestudio3315]

new plot. boy grows up wanting to be a space dog and is then kidnapped by space dogs and boy realizes being a boy dreaming of being a space dog is better than actually being a space dog.

[@inspiredcircles000]

May blessings shine upon you, just as you have blessed others. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Read "in the blink of an eye" if you're interested in editing. Funny enough I always tried to find that book since film school. Never found it, but never made the effort to order it online or anything. That was 2002, 2016 I found it at a local chapters (I checked almost overtime I was there) FINALLY got it. Now in the time between I started to look for the book to when I found the book I was working as an editor on various different genres. Advertising, event, TV, documentary and film. Reading the book after having practiced the craft for way more time than when I was fresh in school really helped me understand the core concepts of this book on a 3D level. You know that level where you're just like "ya that's neat" but I can actually confirm the existence of these rules and the practice of say "thinking some shot on initial screening is useless - only to find out that later in the editing process that shot is exactly what the scene needs"...Anyway i'm rambling, but I love talking shop (editing specifically) so when I see something as detailed and high level as this vs "how to do a palm to camera lens transition in premiere" I tend to yak a bit more than i should in the comments ;)

[@TundeApalowo]

I do enjoy your yakking

[@anthonywillis8509]

Interesting tips really made me think thank you!

[@DJCashEel]

Whoa!! I was already enjoying the video but then Ryan mentioned CinemaSound and I did a whole double take omg. I helped film a bunch of Mark Edward Lewis's stuff when he was in Texas. You guys, I learned so much just from the stuff I was there for and MEL is a great dude, I highly recommend the course

[@DMIINDSTUDIOS]

Even in 2021! This video is still helpful!! 🎥🎬

This was the first time I watched a complete ad, at first I thought it’s off the topic, then I noticed I was watching your advertisement 😂 on your video.

Could you make a video about information about independent movies and how to get them in theaters? This would be very helpful.

[@stefan1977full]

great video

[@hironrai]

Yooo... as soon as i saw that scene from psycho, you got my like.. kudos..

[@JonathanSchaefer]

Yeah this was basically a 13 minute version of my semester long editing course lol

[@declancf]

This is very good. I agree when he basically goes against the word rule in filmmaking

Film Riot is our Digital University .always happy to see your Videos these are awesome Boss.

[@blakebauer5112]

When u guys do episodes like this it reminds me of school days when the substitute teacher would just come and pop in a tape. Good stuff tho. MZed looks legit

Did you film your segment on the C200? Your vids are looking incredible these days; pitch perfect colour grading too.

I've been considering Domain.com for quite a while now, and I need a website up and running very soon. In your honest opinion, what makes Domain.com better than SquareSpace, Wix, BlueHost, etc? (Yes I'm talking about those sites' PAID services)

[@NPNGPhotography]

Hi film riot

[@ReenaUtubez]

ive always wondered how they shot one of those shots in the shower scene. the shot where the camera is pointing straight up the shower. if you were to do this without anything, you'll end up with water drops on the lens. anyone got any ideas on how they did it?

[@ashadowintime7305]

Thanks for the info guys! I love film and I just shot my first video, I would love to know what you guys think of it!

[@TMMWORLDWIDE]

Am still unsure what laptop is best for editing apart from Mac.

[@Babalooza]

This Guy Edits is a good channel if you want more good editing education.

[@ChuckHaney]

That bear suit video is real and MIND BLOWING. If you are thinking "I would have seen the bear" ... you probably would not have seen the bear. It's truly an unbelievable experience.

[@austinpollard5527]

If you've followed film riot for a long time and finally subscribe to domain.com, how bad would it be if you forgot to type in the coupon code filmriot?

[@linsun23]

How does a cut support an emotion or vibe? The other 5 rules are easy to understand but a cut that supporting viewers' emotion, how is this evaluated? By making a cut now or later, by changing a shot from here to there, how would editing support or say ruin an emotion atmosphere?

[@WDSimp]

Leave the space dogs in. Otherwise that film sounds a bit dull.

[@Fuffuloo]

If anything, it needs more space dogs.

[@drewkocak]

Team space dogs

[@H.A.M-PRODUCTIONS]

I've been watching you guys for 4 years

[@valstrom7672]

I've been watching them for 20 years just saying

[@drewkocak]

what is a spacedog tho

[@terribletallrus6520]

Great stuff. Hitchcock's presentation was kinda boring, but his message was great. Impressionistic approach. Love that. The 6 editing tips were also cool. Sometimes we get so caught up in putting in all shots we think are necessary without thinking of how it ties in with the emotion and story we want to deliver. Have to kill off ya babies sometimes, as he mentions :)

[@alexpollock6932]

My high school psychology teacher showed us the ball video and I didn't see the bear the first time. It's pretty cool

[@TheSmilyInc]

His Walter Murch impression is pretty on point lol

[@cory99998]

As for the montage / impression perspective, if something is larger than life then how can life possibly convey it? The imagination is required

[@chittilappillyvinieth2465]

Thank you sir, but 1 problem i don't know english i know malayalam. its ok i adjust under stand

[@MarkHoltze]

You mean editing isn't just cutting out the slates!??!?! ;) JK I know it's not, editing tv/doc/films for 15 years and that's the general job description from quite a few in the industry which baffles me. Editing being the final re-write of any film is a highly creative and complicated roll. There's reasons big directors have their "go to editors" ... short hand and creative simpatico/problem solving is essential...cause lets be honest, nothing ends up on the screen as it was written or in some cases shot. Great content Film Riot...genuine and honest/informative.

[@AkashSingh-se3he]

Hitchcock! You sir' are the boss

[@DigiFootageFX]

Hitchcock was so very interesting. His interpretation of film edits is elequent to say the least. I love how he says "we can't just show a naked woman being stabbed to death in the shower". However, nowadays that's exactly what filmmakers show.

[@yuhyeet231]

DigiFootage Channel nah, not really. Modern horror would just try the same thing but fail badly. The showing of what happens is more french extremism style imo

[@theguyoverthere3257]
