More Joy - Every Frame a Painting

[wickedwords]

I love this youtube series with it's in-depth analysis of camera work. He took a look at Jackie Chan and how to do Action Comedy about a month ago, and I found it really fascinating.

"Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy" (Watch on YouTube)

I recommend all of the videos he's produced, particularly if you are interested in vids. It gives you a lot of options that you may not have thought about for vidding before.

That's terrific! I looooove his analyses. And this one, as you point out, is great for vidding techniques--like, I had never consciously noticed the thing he talks about that gives such power to the punch, by having the punch begin, and then the next shot start back a bit rather than right where the first one ended, sort of doubling up. I can totally imagine a vidder doubling up/overlapping a piece of motion or a look like that!

O_O - You've officially gotten me interested in Jackie Chan. Great tips as well - even if I've never thought of American movies like that... oh well:) I'll see if I can watch some of his movies over the weekend or something:D

I hate Jackie Chan with a passion, but this clip is excellent. Thanks for posting it.

I love Jackie Chan so I appreciated this technical look at WHY he's so great. Thank you for sharing it!
