I love it when directors stick with known collaborators from their small indie films up to their big blockbuster projects!

[@johnwebb2442]

Absolutely important.

[@LycanVisuals]

This man went from best picture at Sundance to directing a blockbuster by his early thirties already like....damn.

[@johnwebb2442]

And he's far from done.

[@jamesward3859]

You should do Damien Chazelle, especially since Babylon is coming out

[@LikeAGentlemanPlease]

Ryan is a beast! He’s the reason why I picked up a camera and became a videographer in Atlanta. Went from a iPhone 6 to a red raptor. Someday I hope to work with him.

You became a what?

Facts.

[@ashleylodewyk7454]

I like this channel bcoz it helps me as a filmmaker to get a better visual grip on my own project that I'm currently prepping. And also for teaching me to build lasting working relationships with people who are best at what they do who in turn elevate me as the director to be the best at what I do by helping me foster a great vision and visual look for my movie. Thanx In Depth for the care you take in producing these videos!

[@clarkbryant8222]

Ryan is one of my favorite directors/screenwriters. Thanks for making this breakdown. It’s super informative and helping me decide if I want to get into screenwriting. I’m still on the fence. Idk if I just like researching screenwriting and directing or if I actually want to do it

[@DialloMoore503]

I didn’t know the crowd/spectators in “Creed” was a post production effect. Now that’s impressive! It looked like it was shot on-location in a real arena.

[@vincejupiter4749]

Thank you for these videos they are amazingly informative

[@scorpiovisionz5786]

Could there be a video about Robert Rodriguez? From El Mariachi/Desperado to Spy Kids to Sin City or Alita Battle Angel 👀👀🤓

[@moseslawi8953]

Thanks for making this video

[@kritmee]

Will u make video about Robert Richardson, one of the greatest cinematographers??

[@tatehildyard5332]

He did make one but it either got taken down or he removed it

[@chromezify7182]

Loved the video! I thought the merch was going to be a shirt or some cloths like it usually is. Will you ever be releasing that type of merch or did you already do so?

[@walmartpimp2]

Love your three different budget videos. Can you guys please consider Jody Hill. His first movie was The Foot Fist Way which cost $79,000 to make, then later he made Observe and Report for $18,000 and now he directs The Righteous Gemstones (not a movie, but each episode has to cost a fortune).

[@brunoreyna8491]

Make one about ROBERT RODRIGUEZ next!!! (please)

What’s the editing software you use

Interesting. Very interesting.

I saw the thumbnail and thought to myself "how does Michael B Jordan perform at 3 Budgets Levels", I was so confused and then I clicked it.

With his director/collaborator Ryan Coogler.

Andrey Zvyagintsev!

[@tailung9680]

Please make a video on the cinematography of Apocalypse now

[@bongi2184]

Could you please do another one of these on Robert Eggers

[@bgaesop]

Please do a video on how Werner Herzog shoots a movie

[@Zombiesnyder13]

He should've left the MCU after the first BLACK PANTHER He can do better than that

[@davidthirugnanakumar7888]

He did produce judas and the black messiah and he actually likes what's he doing in the MCU

[@wizzyone6789]

There is a lot of money to be made from Disney that can go into more smaller/independent projects and creators.

[@hexagonixon]

$900k is not a small budget

[@SamL12345]

In the filmmaking world it's extremely low budget.

[@medardbitangimana4580]

It is by Hollywood standards

[@RayMcElroy50]

As much as I admire Black Panther's cultural impact, I don't think it should've been nominated for BEST PICTURE at the Oscars When you think about the other movies in the past, they all struggled to get recognition There is "The Dark Knight", "Spiderman 2" and "Logan" So it makes clear that Disney scammed the whole thing Just like Harvey Weinstein did with "Shakespeare in Love"

[@ballwreck1139]

I actually will disagree and say Shakespeare was a Masterpiece.....I loved it more than Private Ryan, I could literally predict every move in SPR........but I guess is just an opinion

[@medardbitangimana4580]

So many people share this sentiment, that black panther was overrated. But at a closer look, u realise it was truly a great film. I think some people just missed the film's beats. I can compare black panther in this regard to another hit film "Birdman". They have completely different tones but they both flow in such a way that u can miss their beats completely and fail to appreciate their genius. I recommend another viewing of the film

[@ballwreck1139]

I'm still not feeling his work....but I guess that's an option

[@DialloMoore503]

Why?

[@ballwreck1139]

@@DialloMoore503 Well, I feel like Ryan is as good as Chazalle when it comes to Technical ability(school knowledge). His firs films show Master class, the Cinematography, lighting, lenses choice, blocking....all is great. The actors, and his casting decisions........ terrible in my opinion, Jordan is Jordan in every movie no offense of course, and to me that's really important. I know he said it gives freedom to have more money, but in Black panther it really didn't show, when you need more than technical ability, you gotta use your talent and passion to not make a film slow and trust me, I love slow movies, but Black panther was horrible at that. My opinion of course and I could be wrong of course

[@DialloMoore503]

@@ballwreck1139 Great answer. Thanks!

Please can you cover the film Athena on Netflix
