The Effortless Editing of Stranger Things

[@kcorbanime]

DUDE. I could tell the entire time I was watching this season the cuts were so meticulously planned out but you made me realize how insanely good they actually were. Another thing that goes hand in hand with the cuts is the amazing sounds design. I felt like every cut or transition had a perfect sounds effect or song right along with it. also amazing editing. love the atmosphere you created w the video.

[@rutgrane929]

I am honestly fascinated with your knowledge in editing. It’s crazy how you were able to pick up this details (like the lighter scene). This video deserves many more views. Great work! Looking forward to seeing more of your upcoming videos

[@DodfordYT]

thank you so much rut! glad you’re around 🫡

[@AydanM]

This episode in particular stood out to me, from the superb writing to its breakneck editing. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed, this is a fantastic breakdown.

[@salman.f.r]

Strangers Things transitions have always been crazy good, especially the episodes directed by the Duffer brothers. I wish more people appreciated this.

[@kikon78]

How you transitioned from short reels explaining a technic to putting all together with videos like this is why I apreciate you so much and am so grateful to have crossed you in IG.

[@DodfordYT]

so grateful for you watching :)

[@theskylanderdude]

Just came to this vid after seeing your tweet about it, and man. With being a fan of both stranger things, and more recently editing, you proved that this season definitely needs a rewatch haha. Definitely an underrated video 💪

[@johnfrancisvargas9708]

Love It man, Those multiple groups in different location really made me binge it. I started season 4 just to feel sleepy, then it ends with me still awake at 8am watching the last bit of it

[@DodfordYT]

for sure john! I remember thinking a 2.5 hour episode is criminal and then it just FLYING by

[@RetrogradedTunes]

honestly one of the best video essays i’ve seen, top notch my friend 👌

[@icommenttoplay1301]

I really love your take and editing on this. I love the sense of storytelling on when your describing these effects, so invested I want to hear more! Would love to hear a personal take on Gravity Falls (I saw you enjoyed the show from your favourite film worlds short. Plus has a similar tone to Stranger Things by setting things up early which have huge relevance to the plot)

[@DodfordYT]

love to hear this! haha thank you for the suggestion 😉

[@imani.nothando]

i don't even watch stranger things but i ate this up! such a great video

[@yourpalasher7882]

MAD brilliant as always. I love how you use editing to further the telling of your analysis the same way Stranger Things uses editing to further the telling of its story.

[@DodfordYT]

editing is always the real MVP 🤷‍♂️

[@NavaRayYT]

Crazy man, I discovered you from Hayden's podcast channel and since then I'm hooked onto your channel. It's freakin' crazy how well put your storytelling is. Great vid btw.

[@kaanyilmaz9139]

At 0:45, this scene reminds me of the INSIDE No:9 tv series The 12 Days of Christine episode. It’s a brilliant episode. I highly recommend you watch it. This video is fantastic as well. 🎉 Happy birthday, by the way! :)

[@ezy1217]

Hai Dodford I really loved your analysis, I would really like to know how you study a film or an episode, your process doing it. Can you please share your notes you make while studying?

[@bonjourjill]

Good review 🎬

[@Scopatone]

I wonder how many over analyzed editing "choices" are actually just the editor in his room at 3am going "yeah that looks good I'll just do that" lmao

[@WhartWhart]

Fantastic video as always!

[@DodfordYT]

[@LuxArt1000]
