    1. @wmeredithFeb 2015· in “New Jurassic World Trailer Hides Improved CGI in Plain Sight”

      Everything on screen matters. Modern Cinema is a HIGHLY evolved art form. If you have any interest in this at all, YouTube user Every Frame A Painting publishes, short, easily digestible, and well-produced YouTube videos about this stuff that are eye-opening. Here are a few of my favorites: Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy: this video The Silence of the Lambs - Who Wins the Scene? [LINK] Michael Bay - What is Bayhem? [LINK]

    2. @mimimi31Jul 2022· in “Rowan Atkinson: Visual Comedy (1992) [video]”

      Reminds me of some of the videos from Every Frame a Painting about visual comedy in film. Specifically "Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy" [1] and "Buster Keaton - The Art of the Gag" [2]. They give and explain some great examples from different movies. [1] this video [2] [LINK]

    3. @vangaleOct 2019· in “The Demise of Physical Comedy”

      I love this video from "Every Frame a Painting" which also mourns the loss of physical comedy: this video

    4. @latexrDec 2023· in “The actors who are the best (and worst) at their job”

      This is incredibly flawed in many respects. It’s not comparing actors, but the movies they starred in with different metrics for success. Those do not correlate. A mediocre actor featuring in Oscar-bait will fare better than a great actor who only works on low budget independent productions. > In general, critics seem to have a bias against comedy films. Rather, this article is very US-centric and those comedies are largely generic, unfunny, low effort movies of talking heads. this video

      I'm really not sure about the humor. Take a look at "Every Frame a Painting: Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy": this video
