Some of the sequences in Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" took a year to render. I can't imagine him telling the VFX team after a year, "Guys, can you change that just a little bit?". He has a clear vision of what he wants and sticks to it. He has respect for all those he works with, and they in return respect him. Same goes for Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro.

VFX artists need to unionise, pronto. Indeed if they went on strike I think most of us out here in the real world would support them.

I never posted it anywhere, but back when I had more free time I took Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and cut out all of the 'Bay-humor' that had fans angry. I cut a solid 40 minutes out of that film, putting it at just under 2 hours compared to the original 2hr30min runtime. I was pretty proud of it lol, it made for a tight, more sensical viewing.

I love Powell and Pressburger, and Kubrick… But how does Black Narcissus make a good pairing with Dr. Strangelove? By the way, the 4K Red Shoes is the buy of the year.

These essays are absolutely immaculate. I'm in love with the way the editing, pacing, can script match the theme of the content you're covering. 12 minutes just felt like an hour of magic!!

How was absolutely none of this in my history of animation class?! I have never heard of any of these names! I'm in love with this particular art style; Blue Rhapsody remains my favorite Fantasia film to date. Thank you so so much for creating this video!

Matthew Goode as ozymandius is haunting to me I love his performance

Just applied to study this at uni. Am I cooked? 😭

To everyone spending way too much time debating things that matter not, and lacking confidence to get off the pot...... It's good to reflect. But the time you're taking, right now, as you read this comment, is time you can be putting into learning the actual ins and outs of film making. It's not rocket science. As Nike says, "Just do it!" Experience, like in most things, is the prize that will get you where you want to be. How do you gain experience? Duh....by doing stuff. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else. Get off of social media....at least limit it. Videos like the above can be uplifting tools for motivation. But most of the stuff you're likely watching is just filling your mind with endless negativity by forming anxiety and doubt you don't need in your life. Get away from what other people are doing and do you! Along the way, respect your fellow creatives. Don't be dense. You don't have all the answers. Learn from those around you as well as through trial and error. You "F" up. So what! Learn and grow. You'll be surprised at how quickly all the baby steps add up to big person steps. You'll look back after a year or two (or less) and be like, "Wow. How far I've come." But have the "balls" to stand strong with your story and/or vision when necessary. When will that be? Through experience you'll know. The same can be said for knowing when to take advice and when to just listen. Too many people are worried about being heard but have nothing to really say. Cut through the noise. Some people are tough to work with. But most want to collaborate because they understand that it takes a village. You'll learn the types. Have an open mind and patience for the process....however the process plays out for whatever the project requires. News flash! If you're in your teens or early 20's and are on these kinds of pages allowing yourself to be overwhelmed, sitting in a dark room saying, "Woe is me."....get up, get out, get to work. No one expects you to be the next Scorsese. There will not be another Scorsese....or Nolan...or Tarantino....or whoever. Form you. Be you. People are always wanting "new" anyway, right? You are new. You are unique, with your own voice. How you express that voice can be through your work. But your voice will never get stronger if you don't exercise it. Focusing on the work will get you to where you want to be.....you'll learn the rest along the way if you're honest with yourself about the industry, the needs / requirements of film making and what is important to you as an individual. Allowing yourself to go into a depression because it all seems like so much is pointless. You're wasting the awesome energy of youth! You're capable of so much. You have more at your disposal than any generation before you, no matter who you are or where you are....it's all relative. Much more could be written here. And, sure you can debate what has been written with thoughts and opinions of your own. But why? Isn't that just a waste of time?....time that you could and should be using to write, or shoot, or edit, or read, or capture sound or any of the many other things that can help make you a better film maker. Too much talking and thinking just produce procrastination and further doubt.....excuses, excuses, excuses. Being proactive crushes all the bad and paves the way for the good, amigos. Work is at the door to be done. Get over yourself and get to it already.

Lmao the Presbyterian church

Not sure where you found that Bluray copy, but I would legit buy it from you in a heartbeat. 😊

great, great movie. but you have to know something about movie history.

The World of New War Pilots

This is just Pioneer Films

02:04 Me after watching 'Brick' and 'The Brothers Bloom'.

I first saw the movie when I was 10 years old then I read the comics then I watched the cartoon and after it all Tintin is my favourite cartoon character and I think Tintin aged pretty well great video 😁👍

wanting a fully rendered shots just to see the basic animation is crazy . like psychopath level of crazy. like you should go to jail level of crazy.

"The Man who Killed Don Quixote" was brilliant. See it. Tell your friends.

What does it matter if George includes the despecialized editions if they are the only ones you would watch and you can get them for free? Why should he do something that isn't gonna change how you view star wars?

Richard Williams is such an incredible animator RIP legend

Blake Edwards' inspiration for "The Party"?

Im hoping for UPA to make a comeback for animation this year in 2024😗

6:38 what’s the name movie?

Rocketeer was the first film our then 4 yr old son watched from beginning to end without getting out of his seat. I think he was in love with Jenny (so was dad, who are we kidding) and all he talked about for at least six months was the rocketeer. Great memories.

KANSAS IS CORNY!

I'm impressed with Stop Motion. I don't have the patience for it but I admire people who do it.

To the person reading this Jesus loves you so much that he died on the cross for your sins so that you might choose to be saved from hell and put your trust in him. Everyone has sinned and sin keeps us from going to heaven for all eternity. But Jesus’s sacrifice allows us to be washed clean of our sins and have a relationship with God, which God wants because he loves you so much.

Hey…Jesus Loves You

I saw Oppenheimer in 70mm at my AMC, and it looked fantastic

Big W Keanu Reeves!

whats the music used in the beginning?

I think I just gained some IQ points after looking at his animations. Absolutely amazing.

17:47 makes a what?

1:45 sauce?

Disclosure: I saw “More American Graffiti” on cable as a teenager in the ‘80s BEFORE I saw the first movie (which my mom had seen previously and highly recommended after we watched this together). Considering the superfluous nature of the sequel, it actually works pretty well. We all know John Milner is living on borrowed time and we all know that something is scheduled for Terry Fields that likely is going to be unpleasant by nature. It’s how their time in the sequel is spent that manages to make the film watchable. Steven and Laurie and Debbie just don’t have that “Final Destination” element to their stories, which makes their sequences seem tedious to sit through. This is actually a better movie than it gets credit for being. Then again, I liked “Texasville”, too. So clearly I’m an outlier in many things artistic in nature.

The three Miyazaki themes: 1. Man vs Nature 2. The independent young girl striving for her place in a world against her (she often has short hair or has her hair cut short during the movie) 3. Planes :)

"This isn't about repeating or recycling; it's about refining." I both love that this is a great line on its own in the general, everyday meanings of the word... AND in the literal, chemical-process sense the latter needs the first two. I think that builds on the Guillermo del Toro quote in a wonderful way - and in first noticing that and now writing this comment, I have also done all three!

Who's here in 2024 after Pixar had that interview saying that they will only do sequels now?

I liked very much the SHAZAM film (aka CAPT, MARVEL) BUT i'd like to see a vintage 30s set version which could well be directed by Joe Johnston

I'm a big fan of THE SHADOW starring Alec Baldwin (also a 90s film that probably failed for about the same reasons) it all feels VERY authentic & oozes class, like ROCKETEER it has become an under the radar cult classic, do you like THE SHADOW?

Why would you say that CAPT, AMERICA ( as you know made by the same Director) did better? perhaps because Capt America already had a fan base, or maybe because it was released in the trend of Super hero films. despite a much bigger budget, it is still old school corn set during the war years.

I would argue that modern movies are not made by 'an artist', directors may be responsible for the vision in general, but there are countless cases of directors not being passionate about a project, doing it because they need the money or experience to move on to things they want to create. But lets be real, movies are often dictated by studios and investors. They aren't being made as a passion project on weekends by someone with a full time job. They are, in part design by committee corporate projects. So it feels a bit disingenuous to say editing a movie is a destruction of an artist's vision, because compromise with studios, budgets and timelines has already interrupted a clear monolithic vision. Not to mention that it's not the result of one artist, it involved hundreds of other people all contributing their craft of lighting, costuming, writing, etc.. Taking the least cynical view; a movie is already the collaboration of hundreds or thousands of artists working together, but somehow the one extra contribution afterwards is crossing a line for the integrity of the vision seems absurd.

If Criterion had a movie of the month club (like the old Columbia House or Disney club), I'd be the first to sign up. I have not found a single movie they released that I didn't like. These movies are not just entertainment, they are life changing.

Amazing editing

I only have 10 Criterion Collection Blu-rays, but I thoroughly enjoy them as I enjoyed this video.

I like the HAL9000 fan edit of the Phantom Menace. It does not eliminate Jar Jar Binks but it just minimizes his excesses. That in turn makes him a more interesting character.

If only Ray Harryhausen were hired by Marvel to make 60s and 70s live-action/stop-motion adaptations where CGI was not around. We wouldn't even need to cheaply cast someone like Lou Ferrigno as The Incredible Hulk; or have The Invincible Iron Man marching around looking like a red garbage bin with limbs.

I remember I liked Looney Tunes Back in Action when I rented it on DVD from Blockbuster. It's a shame that the movie was such a box office disaster, but the convoluted story seemed to suggest to me that the movie had some kind of behind-the-scenes trouble. I'll confess that I do like Space Jam better but Back in Action is far more respectful of the source material. Thank you for discussing this movie @Royal Ocean. I did love Explorers as a a kid but haven't seen the movie in nearly 30 years. I didn't notice the troubled production at the time. I did think that Gremlins 2 was hilarious, but wasn't as good as the original. You should send this to Joe Dante for his amusement!

The marketing of the Rocketeer was terrible - it deserved so much better.

I just don’t like the fact that animated films are judged based on their animation alone when there are far more important visual technical elements such as cinematography, lighting, color and camera work.
