Thanks for watching! What's your favorite (or least favorite) blocking techniques used in our video? Let us know!

Because Ukhano suggest me this one🫡❤

I can't believe I know this, but here ya go: the Italian for Happy Trails is Felice Camini.

extremely informative, and not just for film, this can apply to photography (duh) and illustration

Amazing explanation of such important aspect of cinematic expression. Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot!

Lose the annoying, overused, pointless thumping "music" when you are doing a teaching video!

Don't movies like searching not boil down to 2 people having a conversation.

dude who made the video: -shapes are made by lines!
me: -oooh

Epic

best online fim school!!

Very useful explanation of what Blocking is, thanks for this!

That just open my mind

So blocking in movie industry and in animation has completely different meaning.

It's funny but the main reason I don't watch lots of movies or hit the fast forward button is because 2 people are talking. Just sitting there talking. I call it "Fluff time" or "filler". That's when the people writing the film run out of ideas and they call Jeff and say "Hey Jeff I need 5 minutes of filler or fluff time. Just talk about your old girlfriend or dentist appointment or the time your hand got cut in the engine.
I look for "Action" or material related to action. You probably think yeah this guy don't know what he's talking about, but no one remembers the talking scenes in movie's just the ones that are about the action. Maybe you'll write your next video about blocking for action, the most important part of a movie. It all comes back to the director saying "Action" He's not screaming "Talking" or "Conversation"

Great Video reminded me of Confession Scene in Breaking Bad.... Contrast between what happening in the background and whats really going down at table creates so much weight and tension to that scene conversation

Love blocking, it's one of those things that doesn't require money, yet tells the audience you kinda know what the f you're doing.

شكرا لكم

What is the difference between blocking and staging?

Does the director give entire script to DP or just shot list?

Love your videos but this video completely ignores when and how blocking is done in the creative process. Blocking is often done during rehearsal by the actors. Then the DP and the director will find the shots according to the blocking. The highly staged blocking such as in Wes Anderson’s work is only reserved for the most auteur of filmmakers. Most directors will do their head in trying block every little detail for every single actor. And most actors will hate it.

I really enjoyed this lesson❤️🤞🏽

Is the Sony A7S III better than Panasonic EVA1? In terms of images rendered and dynamic range? (Sony is full frame and EVA1 is super35).

Which movie in .56 sec?

lmao did you just call William Dafoe a triangle?!

Amazing channel and content

Thomas & friends is great at filmmaking in my opinion!

love u guys! thank u.

Perfect

Overinterpretation and speculation. This is why they charge you thousands of dollars in a Film Studies major.

In the guardian's example, why do you think they're framed off centre, is it to look more natural? Like we're watching a moment occur. Does it make the foreground look less the focus as Groot is more centred than them?

So proxemics is an element of this right?

I love it

what'sa the first one

This is an awesome channel, thanks

There must be some other way to explain what’s going on here than with shapes? I find the idea a little silly.
