"Hi, my name is Tony." *Anthony Hopkins pops up in the frame*
Excellent, my friend. Simple, clever, effective. Brilliant!
"After Miggs does his thing,..." Yeah I can understand your choice to not analyze those shots.
+Bombtrack411 Yeah...."Shots" eeehhh
@@The3rdGunman Truly the appropriate and only joke that should be made here. Well done sir
Still pretty blown away by how good this is. It's not even three minutes long, and there's minimal editing, yet it has more to say than most 30 minute youtube video essays.
I come back to this channel often. It still blows me away how well these guys put these videos together.
12 years 'in the industry' here, and these are still great.
Yeah, I also appreciated the brevity and pace of the video. I'm sick of watching videos where you can tell how much intentional 'padding' content has been shoehorned in
this movie just becomes more brilliant every time i see it
yep. It's one of my all-time faves. Best of 1991. As much as I love T2, when this movies comes on, I'm like "Fuck off, T2."
What I love about this scene is that he is constantly dropping tiny details about the killer and his location just through normal speech, like telling her that his drawing is of the Belvedere building and numerous other references that you have to see the end to understand are references. A subtle and fantastic way the screenwriters established him as entirely dominant over, not just the scene, but their entire relationship, at least with multiple viewings.
I fucking love your analysis.
Now onto Buffalo Bill's dance scene. No one wins.
BYEEEE
I'D fuck me
I'd fuck me so HUUUuuuurddd
Tony come back! You're content was the best!
God these video are so insightful
I love this channel so much. Thank you.
Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites on UA-cam, thanks for making me look at films differently, please keep making these videos, there great!
BeardedMovieGuy I think I'm pretty good at reading film then I watch this guy's videos and it makes me feel like an amateur.
Bryan Lomax Movie Talk I'm better at reading story. Film isn't my forte, and I tend to think more about the literary aspects of a story and character movement (especially as an animation student) rather than composition and editing. I consider myself pretty good at reading any story, but this guy is showing me I'm definitely an amateur in the areas he's discussing about film. It's especially fascinating since he doesn't just talk about visual interest, but also how it relates to telling the story.
It's so nice to see someone give this much attention to the meticulous craft that cinema is. Would love to see you do one on Winding Refn's visual stylistic decisions. BRONSON and ONLY GOD FORGIVES in particular would be fascinating ones to delve into.
Anyway, great analysis as always, Tony. Hope to see more soon.
Only God Forgives is one of the most beautifully shot films I've seen in recent years
Nice job Tony. I feel like I'm back in film school and this time my instructor knows what he's talking about.
Fantastic series idea!
Khail is back !!!!!
I always feel like RJD2 should be the music that plays whenever I walk around. It's the best.
Good work man! Never thought of that scene like that before.
I need more of these videos in my life.
Is there any actor who can be as intense as Tony? - He's a gift to Cinema!!
Some good music selection.
what is it called

RJD2's "Ghostwriter" as background music... you truly are a man of culture, good sir.
This video (and all of your others) just makes me find new appreciation for movies I already enjoyed, there is always more to movies than we may notice at first.
This is gold man. I've been searching for well informed stuff like this for years. So glad to have stumbled upon this. Thank you.
You're doing Gods work, son.
As someone who has always admired story telling and film. Thank you for helping us to see the depth behind the real artists.
Great content as usual. It's just amazing to me that you've been making videos for less than a year, and your channel is already so huge. I guess it's just a testament to the high quality of your work, but you really did blow up quickly compared to other up-loaders of similar content.
jed52 Tell me about it. I got very lucky. Also, I think there should be more people doing this, so hopefully there'll be a wave of people trying it out.
Every Frame a Painting On my way Tony...from India analyzing some classic Indian, not "Bollywood", cinemas of past and present....very soon! BTW, from one filmmaker to other, your depth of cinematic knowledge is an inspiration.
agree.. this is not luck, i didn't just accidentally subscribe to the channel. this channel has a potential to form its own film critique community, the videos are great, comments are great, people are nice, i'm having a good time here...
1) these videos are awesome and so informative and 2) this music makes this movie a lot less scary
RIP Jonathan. You blessed us with some of the most incredible cinema.
Another brilliant video. You should make this "Who wins the scene?" into a series.
This only makes me wonder what a wonder they could made of this scene on the Hannibal
TV series if it hadn't been cancelled.
My new fav YT channel, incredible insight into the industry
I literally JUST watched this movie right before i saw this video. your cannel got promoted by a german youtuber and you might have earned a new sub;)
Behaind :D Habs gestern auch gesehen.^^
Hain! Hain! Hain!
Ich auch
I found this channel too thanks to BeHaind and I already loved it after the first Video I saw!
oh fuck gerfags incoming.. hört auf.. bitte
Tony. Your videos are absolutely incredible. Your break down of scenes and what they truly mean and the little attention to detail that you pick up is astounding. Well done! Can't wait to see more from you!
I get really excited every time I see a new video by you! Great great stuff, I love all the work you put into these.
You've just restored my faith in people making UA-cam videos. This was thoroughly entertaining and very insightful. Subbed, liked, :)
i love jodi fosterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i adore her
You sir have opened my eyes. As a young (un-experianced) aspiring filmmaker i didn't even ever consider this to be a thing. This not only was enjoyable to watch but taught me a few important things about editing and storytelling I was unaware of. Thank you ;)
I am seriously in love with your Every Frame a Painting series. Keep up the EXCELLENT work Tony!
Tony
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these films.
They have made me look more closely at the films I watch and in that, enjoy them more.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks
not only your analysis are acute and relevant and informative, but your background music choice are top notch. kudos
Excellent work, as always. Quick, concise, and incredibly informative. Your videos are some of my all-time favorites on UA-cam.
Wow. Awesome analysis of Movies.
Please don't ever stop. Keep 'em coming!
Wow. As if I needed another reason to love this film. Your analysis of just a simple camera angle is really amazing.
I love this video. I actually want you to expand on it throughout many of Demme's works. Considering that he uses the "looking directly at camera" throughout much of Clarice's interactions in the film with a multitude of other characters. Also, Demme uses it in other films like Philadelphia. I feel like we're just scratching the surface, but that's probably because I love your channel so much that I need longer videos!
This reminds me that I need to rewatch Something Wild, which is a great movie.
Every Frame a Painting I'd also love to hear your thoughts on Demme's work on The Silence of the Lambs and how Ratner cribs it in Red Dragon.
Your insight gives so much more depth and meaning to movie scenea. Thank you for sharing it with us! Man, all these video's from this channel are worth studying. Perfect material for any art class.
Dude, you are great! I have been looking for something like this on the net for a long time - someone that can explain to me the craft of directing/mise-en-scene etc. not just fixate on the content. I believe directing is still in a very chaotic state in terms of understanding the possibilities in visual communication. I feel like everyone gives it their best shot but seldom understands it well enough to actually use it to its best effect or even innovate. Thanks man!!! I am eagerly awaiting new videos!!!
Holy hell dude, I thought I loved cinema before finding your channel. I know what I'm doing over the summer break (southern hemisphere, that is) - watching all these movies again. Now onto my next Every Frame a Painting...
This is what an analysis video can be. Thank you so much. Focus is on the subject matter, argument is seamless, pithy, rich, and memorable. I'm so happy I got to find your channel! Subscribed :D
It's amazing how much you can learn in 3 minutes of watching this channel.
I keep coming back to watch certain videos a lot and I love how you have a knack for picking out perfect background music.
Gold! Always the highlight of my day to come across your uploads Tony!
another great episode tony. wish it was longer! loving all the knowledge you drop.
Thanks A LOT for the video! Now I'll go and rewatch my favorite scenes of my favorite movies to see how they made it work visually. You are really great!
Even at your shortest, I always learn something new. Keep up the excellent work!
I just found this channel earlier today and i'm hooked, looking forward to future videos
Damn these analysis are awesome! Keep them coming Tony!!
your videos are by the the best ones in youtube. Thanks tony! keep it up!
Great stuff once again Tony. As an aspiring director your channel has really opened by eyes to visual storytelling. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated.
One of my new favorite channels. Learning a lot thanks.
Just went through all of your videos and I'm hooked. This is definitely one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Keep up the great work!
Love your videos Tony. They help me learn a new way to enjoy movies and to have a deeper understanding of them.
This is one of my favorite movies ever and I’ve never picked up on this detail. I know this channel doesn’t upload anymore but thanks for making the video regardless. Great content!
Your analysis is so clear and exact. Really great videos, moooooore
Another movie that uses camera angles to show the relationship between characters or dominance/weakness (or win/loss) is American Beauty. If you guys are interested in this, watch that movie.
Quick Question: How were camera placement and angles used to create suspense?
I LOVE these video's Tony!!! Where did you learn all this stuff and how did you learn to look at these sort of scene the way you do? I really enjoy analysing movie scenes but you see so much more than I do, any tips?
If you have editing software (Premiere, FCPX, Avid), bring the movie file into the program and watch it there. It's hard to think about this stuff in the theater because the theater is designed to make the movie feel huge. If you bring it into your editing program, it feels "smaller," more manageable. Then you can scrub back and forth at will.
There's also a psychological element. I edit every day as part of my job. But I always used to look at finished films as "oh wow movies." Then I brought them into the edit suite and I realized they're just footage like any other, except really good footage. So try that out, see if it helps.
Every Frame a Painting Thank you very much! I do have editing software and I will most definitely try it!
And thank you for answering, most youtubers don't do that very often anymore.
Every Frame a Painting Where do you get your movie files? Do you just download them offline if so, what sites do you use?
Also, try watching the movie with the sound off. Then the visual aspect- framing, editing, lighting- comes in to greater focus, while your perception is undistracted by sound and dialogue that are normally pulling you inside the story. You will notice many details that you would not normally.
David Ridlen That's a great tip! thanks!
All of the content you put out is fantastic Tony, one of my favorite channels on youtube by far. Keep up the great work!
I love my film classes, but I will never learn as much there as I have and will from Tony. All these videos are beautiful and well worded. I never knew how much I could get out of one scene. Keep up the great work!!
One of my all time favorite movies. Thank you for this, now I have to re-watch it.
Hey Tony,
I don't have any questions or anything, but I'd just like to say how much I appreciate your channel and hard work. You have a wonderfully informative channel and are incredibly helpful to your commenters in every video. Keep it up.
Hope you have the time to complete more videos! Each one is a delightful learning experience that makes me want to watch more films. That's how you know you have a great channel. Once again, thank you!
Wow, you really opened my eyes to how much effort is put into the smaller details of a scene
TONY THIS WAS AWESOME!!!
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks again Tony. A great video like always!
Don't EVER stop making these videos!
Heartbroken that I'm only just finding this channel... From the editing, attention to detail, and the relevance of what makes a good film. Plus the music, my dear... RJD2 has the perfect chill heat for this, just as "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" was brilliant for your Buster Keaton video.
I intend to watch every video of yours that I can, and hope that you might pick it back up again. You celebrate and study film in a way that it should be examined, scrutinized, and praised. I can only hope that your talent and eye for the arts was recognized and you're on to bigger and better things.
Cheers, take care, and I'll keep my fingers (and remaining toes) crossed that you unexpectedly surprise your audience with another video out of the blue like Alfie Aesthetics did recently after a long hiatus!
You're videos are like a masterclass for film form.
I've always been really into this kind of motivation behind shots in the movies I've shot and I think that plays a large part in why the people that are into are so into it. I'm going to start pushing this even further in my future work.
Keep it up with these awesome videos.
Your videos are awesome and I always look forward to watching them. Thanks a lot for the posts Tony, and keep up the great work!
I stumbled upon your channel and it took me a few videos to finally realize I used to be obsessed with your vimeo videos. Love your content!
Well this is now my favorite youtube channel, just watched through all your videos and they were all great.
THANKS A LOT! I actually need a couple of reference shots/scenes for a film I'm working on so great timing, Tony!
A brilliant look at one of my favorite scenes. Thanks you
Great analysis, allways a joy to watch your videos
You have such an incredible taste in music. Seriously, i always love the music while watching!
I honestly really like this channel, I prefer the longer videos but this short one also was well done and showed the point that needed to be made , nice job and hope to see more from you in the future
I learn a lot about cinema since I start watching your videos! Thanks!
Great video Tony! Keep them coming!
Amazing analysis! This is my favorite movie and I loved hearing your take on an iconic scene.
You stun me yet again with your great video! More please!
I have a serious question, do you think unless you are a film critic or study film that the audience actually gets these things while watching or is there more work going into these small things in scenes than is necessary? Or is it all subliminal? Do you think people think about these small nuances as they are watching?
I would say people don't conciously recognise these things but they can make all the difference and it's an art of its own to not make these hints obvious (by using certain motifs over and over or by filming over Lecter's shoulder to get his point of view across).
"perfection is lots od smalls things done good."
You could ask the same thing about CG artists; it's no different than a painter guiding the viewer's eye on a canvas. It's about immersion, retaining the audience's attention and not taking them out of the film. Remember that scene where Forest Gump is playing tennis like a pro? The ball never existed. The best scenes are the most subtle.
argh1989 It's definitely this, He points out in today's Drive video that when you just put closeups and still shots of single characters in a room full of people talking one-at-a-time and you ping-pong them back in forth that it's just lazy filmmaking. It's less expensive and arguably easier to just move a single camera and frame shots artistically and intelligently.
if you want to make a movie, this information is very useful.
Loved this short dose of everyframeapainting ! Keep it up !
I'm a film student and somehow your videos always seem to be relevant to what I'm currently working on. You and this channel are awesome, keep up the great work!
Great analysis and great music! keep up the amazing work, thanks
I know how much work goes into the longer videos, so it'd be amazing if you peppered small ones in between updates :DDD i always look forward to your videos~
loving the uploads thus far bro you need to make more videos
Incredibly insightful, great work.
I just found your channel, and wow! Pure class! You break down this Silence of the Lambs scene in a way that makes complete sense, like it's as elementary as the ABCs, but it is stuff I never would have picked up on. There's such subtlety to this art that most people probably never even realize, but there it is!
Anyways, if you have the interest I'd love to see what you have to say about Wes Anderson. He has a style that's instantly recognizable, but I'd be interested in learning if there's more to it than my plebeian eye can see.
Great insight. Thank you for the fantastic work!
these videos are absolutely amazing. LOVE LOVE FRIGGIN LOVE
I am a huge fan of your work, i was wondering if you were planning on doing an episode on Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter?, i think they are some of the greatest editors out there at least in modern time, and where did you learn to edit did you go somewhere or did you learn by yourself?. I want to become an editor so that is why i asked, thank you
felipe rios I learned on the job. I do not know anybody who has ever learned at school. As for how I got the job, I lied. Give it a shot.
Every Frame a Painting thanks Tony, will do.

Imaginary Star Studios We must take our first breath ourselves. Even the act of becoming alive is an act of taking, as half or more of who you could have been was destroyed in the process of making you. Literally.
This was a beautiful break down, only just stumbled on the channel. Good stuff
i love this video. short without losing depth. wish the guy would come back to making them
you need to do more! i love your analysis
Just found this channel and it is exceptional. Thanks.
