    "Okay, Phil. We got a very important master class video that needs cuts and editing. We expect it to inspire thousands with his words of genuine creativity."
    "Anything special you want me to do with it?"
    "Just make sure to lower the master volume and pan EVERYTHING left."

    You came here for a Comedy Master Class and you left thinking about the importance of good editing.

    • @JBloise
      @JBloise 4 роки тому +4

      That's still part of a comedy master class, everything has to do with everything, specially in the audiovisual stuffs, you may think editing as a tool just for video, but you can "edit" your stand up set by knowing how to get a better pace and how to tell a story for example

    • @TheXAsama

      This video is more about visual comedy, because essentially hes a producer/writer. Not a stand up comedian

    • @Doffu

    I love the content and insight from Dan, but the technical issues really bring me down on this.
    How does a world media festival publish a video with audio only working on one mono channel, with editing and camera work that cuts away from the relevant subject?

    • @TaylorjAdams
      @TaylorjAdams 7 років тому +6

      This happens with most panels like this and whilst I don't know enough to be sure about it I think it's because recording the panel isn't the main job of whoever is doing it. Basically they're manning the sound booth and once in a while go 'oh yeah I'm supposed to do that too'

    • @StevenKilpatrick
      @StevenKilpatrick 7 років тому +11

      I didn't want to be the first one to mention the weird "Cameraman has a crush" segment of the video--but I'm glad I didn't have to go too far to find it.
      I do not understand what's happening here unless Dan specifically said, "It would be funny to zoom in on someone for no reason, just to see the youtube comments."
      I guess it was technically a kind of pica-boo...

    Gives a masterclass on comedy and its place within a larger societal framework. Q & A is mostly questions from Community fans asking about Community
    Also, so funny that most of the comments are jokes about the awful editing. It actually created a wave of comedy, entirely by accident.

    "Saw game premise material"
    I wrote this awhile ago and found it
    jigsaw instead shows his captured victims him doing stand up on stage, and he would start with something like I want to tell a joke...I was in my wheelchair and my wife was next to me some asshole ran into the building while we were leaving and slammed the door into her pregnant self causing a miscarriage *stares into camera intensely* you have 60 seconds.
    victims are freaking out trying to break out and are mostly like wtf was that do you know him I don't even think he's on Netflix why did we watch that we have to break out.
    this happens over and over with jigsaw doing more sets of open mics and the only people that survive are the ones who laugh. they have a mechanism attached to their diaphram chained their limbs to the walls and if the machine detects laughter from shaking and has to hear the sound of it they will be let go and become jigsaw's opener

    This was clearly made before Mr. Ed's sexual misconduct allegations.

    This guy does a lot of self-praising events from his Harmontown doc to these type of things.

    Ya'll done goofed and fucked up the audio, how even, I dunno, but it's annoying. Thanks for the upload despite that :)

    As much as the camera should have been on Dan, I'm at least glad it was her and not some other random person in the audience. She was laughing all the time and seemed engaged. A1 audience member.

    amazing presentation that is interesting to many more people than those that are looking for a career in comedy. however it seems like everyone who was part of the production of this video (except harmon ofc) needs to get a fucking clue lol...
    what the fuck is up with the camera work??? why the fuck is the audio only on one mono channel??? i mean the Banff is not exactly a small organization XD

    wtf is wrong with this camera man. It's bad from the outset, but what the hell happens at 9:10? Focusing on a table for a minute then zooming in on a single woman. I seriously think this guy is stalking her

    What the hell weird-ass manipulative, controlling move was that at 00:16:37 ?

      She's aware of how mic's work. He was kinda slapping on the arms of the chair and she was tryna make sure people didn't hear loud pops.
      professionalism and knowing her craft. That was the name of that move.
