[@StudioBinder]

Happy filming!

[@batmenn]

HUGE thank you to you, studiobinder! I go to an arts school and in it I am taking a film class, but I don’t understand what my teacher is trying to teach us so I thought I would just learn on my own and it was really hard until I found your videos! I’ve seen so many already, and it’s made a huge difference. An upcoming project is writing, casting, filming and editing our own movies all on our own and I think I am going to crush it 💪

[@gielaah]

My love for film and creating is being fuelled by your videos. So interesting to see the process and perspective. Love your videos so well-planned and well-thought of. Thanks for the knowledge and passion. I hope someday I can create a relatable and inspiring film.

[@2.pr020]

I’m absolutely loving this channel! Thank you so much! I was just thinking that it’d be sick to see an explanation of what a lack of editing or the ‘reverse’ of these techniques can bring (if they exist). For example, I’m pretty sure in some of Jackie Chan’s work reducing or even removing cuts adds to the fluidity of his fight scenes and emphasises how realistic they are.

[@jp3813]

In the video "Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy" by Every Frame a Painting, it points out that Hollywood editors tend to ruin the rhythm of fight scenes by cutting on every hit, which is identified as a common technique at 17:04 of this episode.

After watching countless videos that show J-cuts and L-cuts, I now finally understand why they are called that. I love watching your videos!

[@jp3813]

17:04 An interesting contrast to that is in Every Frame a Painting's video "Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy", which points out that Hollywood editors tend to ruin a fight scene's rhythm by cutting on every hit.

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Right. Cuts on every hit are for when the actors aren't really good. Contrast the Matrix scenes with Crouching Tiger, The Protector, or The Raid. The latter films are far more impressive because of the longer takes, showing greater skill... :)

[@nationalhamleague5352]

I think the difference is overdoing the cuts rather than one being objectively a better technique to capture fight scenes than the other.

I'm sorry, All I think about 'Don't Look Up' is that they used STOCK FOOTAGE...it feels like cheating even though it totally isn't.

[@LuisSierra42]

Why would it be cheating? they don't have to film footage of animals and remote tribes if there is no need

[@StudioBinder]

haha it is weird to think about it, but that makes it okay for indie filmmakers to do it too

[@settheray2jerry1]

Didn’t Citizen Kane use stock footage in its opening montage?

[@desertsnow3360]

No, it definitely is cheating

[@vdeovisuals]

Don't look up was a terrible movie They revealed everything in the trailer apart from the ending, which was blatantly obvious

[@EddieLensweiger]

thank you for this, these need to be practiced

[@StudioBinder]

They all do!

[@gianniriley]

As always, another great video from StudioBinder!!! The only thing I am not sure about is that I always though that J cuts and L cuts are called like this because of the JKL buttons that work pretty much in every editing application. J is for reverse (so you move the audio backwards) and L is for forward (so you move the audio forward).

[@daniellatteo_thefilmmaker]

Fantastic video Studiobinder!!🤩🎥 Next, maybe not on this series, you should do a video about "Film Themes"- philosophical, high-concept themes, low-concept, commercial, easy to absorb themes, and all that exists in between. It is such a fascinating and important subject to explore for filmmakers... and often, I feel it's way too underrated.

[@StudioBinder]

Film themes... not bad!

[@jamilosan]

@@StudioBinder probably, a difficult topic to make a video about, but very interesting. Themes can be interpreted in so many ways but argueably most movies have some sortof theme

Editing is something that you'd learn practically

[@rorypuds]

Fantastic as always. However, I would of loved a dissection of the Dojo fight scene compared to the original, and how that was perhaps to the first (particularily in western cinema) to have managed to convey energy and speed without being arguably overedited like in Resurrections.

[@StudioBinder]

A comparison video? Not a bad idea!

Point of correction studio binder, the L caught where he was playing with his dog is not considered an L cut because it is still in the same scene.

[@StudioBinder]

L-cuts can also happen in the same scene! It's just a matter of the audio coming before the shot

[@denzvenvadakkan5103]

17:08 hearing this i remember jackie chans interview... "they cut directly on impact, no punching shown, best is to keep a stable wide shot." i would like to hear more on this

[@neobellic7258]

Jackie Chan had a brilliant technique on cutting on action. Unlike Hollywood where the edits are made such that one shot of action of making an impact transitions to the other where impact has already been made, what Jackie Chan instead did was to insert the second shot with few frames just before the impact is made. So in JC's style, we see a shot of someone hitting, cut at the impact, then next shot (closer to camera) of just before the impact. At normal speed (24fps), this transition registers as a much better continuity of action with better impact.

[@StudioBinder]

You watched that video too 😂

[@chrisjfox8715]

So is it technically the viewer witnessing double impact, but it happens so fast the it feels like a more powerful single one?

[@rapidonline3603]

This is something all the creator looking for!

[@MatthewGhirardi]

The proper way I would do cut on action for the fight scene is to have a few cuts for a brief pause of an actual fight, or to enhance a particular move and make it more clearer and easy to understand, or cut to a close up to high light the impact of the hit (doesn’t matter if it matches continuity or not, as long as action and reaction are in the same frame of a shot)
