Can you do a review of steezy Kane directing style? He isn't a official filmmaker necessarily and he hasn't really played in a film as far as I know, but the way that he directs his skits is really interesting, especially the music choice he makes. He makes his skits also in a very nice and a professional way. I really hope that you will maybe do a review about him.

[@JordyDevrixOfficial]

This is the last skit he made NOTE: *the skit starts at **14:28* kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2TSk35jbN-maas

[@JordyDevrixOfficial]

This is the best skit he made (in my opinion) NOTE: *skit starts at **6:36* kzbin.info/www/bejne/on7JgWRsnZaErKc The name of the song he used in this skit is Sidney poitier.

What I've always loved about Tim Burton is his ability to give color to the darkness. He's not only a director, he's an actual painter.

Tim Burton is one of my Favorite Filmmaker. His Esthetic Unique Vision and Recognizable World makes him the Inspiring Artist he is today. Thanks StudioBinder for this Enthusiastic video about Tim Burton's World.

[@alejandrovargasaguilar6180]

This video really makes me happy. Burton and spielberg were like the first directors i ever learn the name and what means films. The nightmare before christmas is one of my fav animated movies since i have memory(yeah i know he produced but still is very burton) and batman, edward scissorhands,charlie and the factory of chocolate and many more. He really make quite an impact on me. Now he is quite loosing track and passion for his works lately but damn i love his movies too. Hoping tim returns to his worlds

[@StudioBinder]

I don't know if he's losing passion for his work, but it's definitely hard to beat his earlier works like batman and scissorhands

That's fantastic! Great to hear our software has been helping

[@LoiccoiL]

Really nice video well documented. Of course his designs and drawings are driven by the stories because he’s an illustrator and came from animation so he used to tell his stories through drawings. That’s why his movies are so unique because he’s also doing some concept art of his own.

Pls make more videos on Tim Burton 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@BuckarooSamurai]

I'd like to point out that Burton had very little to do with any of the actual production of Nightmare. He was extremely busy working on Batman Returns. Outside of some character designs and songs that movie is pretty much all Henry Selick. Every making of says the same thing that Burton was may be on set for a few days during the entire making of the movie.

[@StudioBinder]

Definitely don't want to discount Selick's significance in the production, but the film does have much of Burton's style

[@evm6177]

It's dark but whimsical, not necessarily for kids tho

[@bilbebop3693]

I wouldn't show a kid a lot of his films. Under the dark tone is an emotional misunderstood character struggling with reality. Not very appealing to a kid. While sure most of his works with Disney would appeal to all ages.
