The Bryan Cranston Paradox

[@Sumra_]

This video seemed almost too good for KZbin. The pacing, the storytelling, the way the video resonates with Bryan telling the story. Just beautiful. This is, hands down, one of my favorite few KZbin videos.

[@UhOhJacquinette]

Every video by this channels is like this. Masterful work!

[@ZueStudio]

@@hazel.hawthorne Exactly my thoughts! Worse than the usual videos on the channel - it lost itself in its form and there was no room for the message.

Bryan Cranston's story makes me think of destiny. Not to belittle the incredible journey and hard work he put in, but the circumstances and results feel so close knit. A son of actors accidentally falling in love with acting. A father who left accidentally teaching him to love the journey. That same father that played as inspiration for one of the greatest performances we've ever seen. It just feels like all these trials and tribulations were set up for him and he took every right decision to get to where he is. Bryan was the one who was truly destined for his father's dream, and we're all lucky for that. I'm sure we're all destined for greatness too. Even if it's not fame and fortune, we all have our parts to play, it's just about finding what you love and loving what you do, but most importantly, enjoying the journey above the destination.

[@crispy1356]

This channel is criminally under rated. Theres a ton of channels that do "documentary" style videos, but all follow the same formula. Dodford takes that formula, extracts the great, and adds the greatest bit of his own flair. Dodford's style is easy to watch, entertaining, and extremely informational. Everyone who enjoys youtube documentary should be subbed to this channel.

[@guurff9581]

You have an incredible style of storytelling, that incorporates the subjects interviews and media they are most known for and it's such a captivating and personal way of telling someones story. It shines especially in this video.

[@bloomfilms]

You have KZbin videos meant for TVs and I love that so much, this is incredible!

[@JoostArchives]

You are very quickly becoming an S-tier youtube documentary maker. I honestly find it hard to believe such content is free!

[@cheezburgrproduction]

Music choice was 100% on point my boy I was jamming the entire time. When Mr. Cranston was speaking on his father it made me bawl like a child, excellent work as usual sir.

[@just_mdd4]

"You've got to find what you love to do and focus on that. You have to have talent. You have to have perseverance and you have to have patience - and the last component is the most fickle of all and that's luck." Those are the words of an experienced and knowledgeable man. This is deep, even as it still feels obvious.

[@mefdesigns]

The creativity and craftsmanship that gets put into in your videos, the storytelling, the pacing. Inspiring work.

[@LamarTech.]

that intro animation was AMAZING

[@megatrok77]

Holy shit this might be the best video on KZbin that I have ever seen, the pacing, music, and editing really just took me away. I almost forgot that this was a KZbin video that is how great this video is.

[@zillahstar]

Really mind blowing that his dad gave up at 40 years old. While he didn't get his big role on Malcolm in the middle until 40. Maybe giving up and leaving your family wasn't the play

[@YoFonzz]

I thought that I was going to like the Quentin Tarantino video more than this one, but I was wrong. There are far more life lessons in this video, but that’s not to take away from what you did for both. I will be seeing them more than once without a doubt.

Its crazy to think when he was in Malcolm in the middle, many of us wanted a father like him

[@TheElbowMerchant]

Dude, I've been looking forward to this since the poll was posted. Can't wait to dig into the video on my lunch break, but here's a like and a comment for the algorithm in the meantime, and thanks for giving me something quality to watch in a couple hours.

[@cloudbloom]

Man your effort to collect SO much footage must have been a lot of work and we only see brief glimpses of each one, this was really well done. The family footage in the side mirror of the car at the end was a nice touch👌

[@deepakgupta-wo6tq]

Crazy how I've watched so many interviews of Bryan Cranston but still had no idea about his past life!!

[@brianthomas8411]

You should read his book! He goes into all of this and more. There's an audio version narrated by him as well

[@eternalbliss13]

I was blown away or rather continue to be blown away at your use of music/soundtracks. Incredible work! Grinded a few of your videos through lat night work and you earned a subscriber.

[@michaelwatson1244]

oh mate this is your best video yet. long time fan. teary eyed as i loved MITM and BB so much. Thank you.

[@JoshuaRibot]

This channel's relationship with "show don't tell" is a lesson in crafting a good story on it's own. Love how you let the editing breathe and only voice over as a segway.

I watched a 5 min video earlier and couldn't keep my attention on it. At first i thought i became one of those dopamine victims (i probably am), but then i watched this video, and fairly speaking it's "just" some TV clips and voice overs, and i was tied to that screen. Well done.

[@notkendallroy]

Finished his book yesterday and I must admit Bryan Cranston is such an inspiring person and so relatable. "[...] a shift in perspective can change a life. Hope can create possibility. Options are always available to us if we stand back and look at things differently". Not expect the outcome of your chosen path but the joy you'll feel when go through it. As he said he became famous by the time he 40 as Hal and 50 as Walt.

Is your main goal documentaries, dodford? If so you have a very easy way of telling a story, great video and hoping for your success!

[@luke_mckay]

The quality of these is always impeccable. Have watched you since your interview on the Editing Podcast (fellow editor). I could happily echo all the positive feedback you've received on these, but instead I'll offer a point of critique: these videos are so dense. Maybe I just need more beats to digest? Not sure, but as entertaining and documentary-level as these are, they feel like a chore to watch. But a chore I greatly enjoy! Looking forward to more. Specifically Bo. 😌
