How to do Action Comedy
One of the recent YouTube channels I'm enamoured with is Every Frame a Painting. They had a fantastic piece on "Who wins the scene" from the Silence of the Lambs.
The most recent video from these guys is one talking about Jackie Chan and how he does action comedy so well. Here's that video:
Nice. One part of the video that resonated with me was the desire to repeat things until perfect. The "little details" that the narrator calls out really do have an impact - and you don't think about how many times that would've taken to actually happen.
There's so much to movie making that I don't see or don't notice. This channel is doing a good job of telling me stuff that I find fascinating now.
