Production Design is really important, so there are many shots of ceilings in Mr. Robot. This is a sequence from my original video comparing Mr. Robot to Daredevil, covering the similarities and different effects of the shows.

I rewrote this scene, in a day, for free. David Ayer got paid to write and direct a multi-million dollar film. So the next time you see a movie, and you think, this is stupid, this isn’t working, this isn’t funny, or what the hell was that? Trust that feeling, because it can be better.

A look at experimental film making with Harmony Korine. Spoilers, it's a little weird.

After editing for a while, I think music helps me find a natural rhythm. These are the various ways that Darren Aronofsky and Jay Rabinowitz edited the climactic final scene to Clint Mansell's amazing soundtrack.

A look at exposition and chemistry.

A look at why David Fincher is one of the greatest directors, through masculinity and femininity. There are some pretty strong thematic links between Fight Club and Gone Girl, mostly by how men and women are allowed to express themselves and what unhealthy people do with their insecurities.

Loving Vincent is beautiful, and it's hard to say much more than that. Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman have crafted a visual masterpiece by making a fully-painted film, but I think the structure of the film is underrated. In this video essay, I look at the sense of truth in life and art.

"Behold my work, O mighty ones, and despair!" This video essay seeks to determine if it's possible to accidentally create meaning, by examining Zack Snyder's Watchmen. I discovered the movie first (which was really cool at the time) and then read the graphic novel by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins, which had a lot more depth and meaning.

Writer-Director Makoto Shinkai makes beautiful films, obviously. But after watching his body of work, I noticed how his animation serves the theme of waiting or being present. This video essay focuses on his feature films: Your Name, The Garden of Words, Children Who Chase Lost Voices, 5 Centimeters Per Second, and The Place Promised In Our Early Days.

There's a basic language of cinema, and I'm fascinated by the invisible little details of filmmaking. Great filmmakers can follow the rules or break them. This rule is the 180° Rule.

"This is my design." So this is an attempt to explain why I fell out of love with the TV show Hannibal, and why non-fans never committed as devotedly as the die-hard 'fannibals.' I talk about balancing logic and creativity, bad plot threads, nonsensical writing patterns, and indulging fans

Birdman is a film that expresses my most embarrassing insecurities: vanity, jealousy, and creative validation. It's hard to say definitively what the ending means, but I want to look at how the ending relates to our need to be loved.
