Deleuze, Soviet Cinema, and Gundam Build Videos

The culture of creating KZbin content has caused a cinematic movement of its own. In this video, I take a look at the sophisticated editing techniques used by content creators like Gio San Pedro and Potan Creates, and how those techniques fit into the history of cinema and montage. By looking at the theories put forth by Sergei Eisenstein and Gilles Deleuze, I cover how Gundam Build Videos manipulate time and use montage to create a very unique expression of model building.
I would not have been able to make this video if creators like Gio San Pedro and Potan Creates had not made their work first. Please check out their videos below.

This is fantastic. I've never thought about the cinematic underpinnings of build and craft videos. Now you've got me wanting to watch more. Awesome. Now, when do we get a video about Stalker?

great video essay Do you have any thoughts about unforeseen consequences of montage's distortion, misrepresentation of the thing captured in reality? In the first part of the video you talked about how the device of montage makes something slow and painstaking, into something anew, one that is fast-paced and energetic. This change might not be embraced by some hobby 'purists'. Is there something damaging when we make a task that's personal and within the private sphere so 'easily consumable' through cinematic devices? (I think about this question a lot as many reviews of queer films always speak about 'right or wrong' representation in media).
