The strongest take from this video is how consistent Greta is on her message since the beginning of her directorial career. So much respect for never changing and sticking to a mission that she is trying to express through films. Each film shares similar themes and it's not just "remaking the same movie" over and over. Impressive.
Greta is an intellectual mess - so much wasted potential; why are people really hailing her as a great director? (The highest form of) Cinema is achieved when there's philosophical harmony, something Greta's films seriously lack, especially Barbie. She seems to have the hand (technique) but not the head and the heart; she can't accurately represent themes and ideas causing her films to lack spirit. This is so undeniably true that Barbie became a self-parody satire loved by conservative audiences... there are even people saying Greta is antifeminist (?!) and Werner Herzog thinks "Barbie World" is "sheer hell"; that's how effective her message is, so there's nothing impressive about it.
@@KVLTFILM So, you're saying that her message was not effective because a couple people got the wrong idea? The opinions of a few people, and even someone as prestigious as Werner Herzog, do not diminish the impact and significance of Gerwig's work. Barbie made it's mark, whether you like to think so or not.
@@KVLTFILM I think your ability to say that Greta Gerwig doesn't have a heart is impressive, it just proves that you chose not to try to understand anything about this video or her films
This is an editing masterclass. Your ability to capture the emotion of growing pains is outstanding, Danny. Thank you for inspiring a future generation of storytellers!
So I knew her when we were in our teens, we ran in the same crowds in theatre, we performed together in 2 ballet productions where we actually hung out offstage. She was basically actually how she was portrayed here, but a little bit mire hyper and all over the place.
Greta has a way with realism in character. It's wonderful, since with the most movies, it's clearly actors portraying characters. But with her work, you find it more as being real people on screen, watching through their actual lives. It doesn't mean they're any less eccentric or unique, but it give a connection and truth to those characters you can easily relate to. It's especially apparent in Lady Bird, but even in the pink dreamscape of Barbie, you feel the same real human aspects. Not an easy feat to get right every time. Dodford knocking it out of the park again. Just like Greta has her real characters, the subjects of the documentaries are yours. Already eager for the next one, let's go 👏
These videos are reinforcing my opinion that editing is the most powerful skill in the creative arts. In music, writing, and -duh- videos it's all about how you divide things up and put them together again. Thank you.
Greta is gonna become one of those classic directors whose movies will be studied in film schools.. her directing style is so unique and realistic and refreshing..
Man.. Ive only commented on your channel a handful of times but i must say, your videos are so inspiring both in subject matter and the way you write/edit them. Truly beautiful work man 💐
This is the single best video essay I have ever seen, and i do watch too many of them. It has inspired me to pick up a piece of writing I had put on the side fo YEARS, because I was just too scared to do anything with it. My only fear now, is that I am sure I'll never even come close to edit the short movie as good as this video.
Oh Dodford will you ever make a video that doesn't make me cry?? you're a fantastic editor and so emotional with your cuts and clips, keep up the phenomenal work!!
I really dig this video style that edits many clips together to tell a story. It requires more work and engagement from the viewer which is a good thing and rare nowadays. it's like how blockbuster movies nowadays don't have confidence in their audience to get it, but movies like No Country for Old Men are considered classics and they age very well. At the same time, I do miss the old video style with you in it. This video style feels almost a little impersonal, and narration would help bring a stronger connection with the viewer. Also, I think a narration helps with setting the tone and mood better. Arguably the videos that "put you on the map" were the Nuardwar, Glover, and Spielberg videos. And I think the reason those hit big was because of not only your editing but perhaps more so your narration. Obviously, don't change your style just to appeal to more people. But I think it might be cool to sprinkle in a video here and there that has narration, just to keep it diverse.
I spend hours, days editing a tiny number of clips into a 6 minute video and it still looks dreadful. Dodford you is a boss! Hats off to your sir, have a great weekend. Another banger
A big round of applause to Script and Edit: Daniel McMahon, Research: Mia Zimonjic, Additional Research: Adam Bright, Producer: Jaden Pendegrass, Sound Mixer: Dan Pugsley !!! Folks,this mini-doc is a delight and hope Greta has a chance to see it too! Thank you so much!
As an entrepreneur/business owner with employees, you must be willing to pivot. putting faith in only 12 videos per year, hoping for a hail mary isn't good practice. just saying. i love your editing and storytelling though.
@@3minuteswithMarc No. I mean that looking into topics/subjects that will bring in views to the channel won't hurt. The current quality is absolutely amazing but, that doesn't matter if the topic doesn't bring in the views the quality of work deserves. E.g: elections are coming up. Making a video about Trump/Biden will bring views to the video and channel as a whole.
Thank you for your work and incredible documentaries. Your editing skills are something I strive to eventually achieve myself. Seriously I love it!!! Secondly I didn’t know much about Greta other than than she lived in Sacramento which is about two hours away from where I live. After having learned what she went through to achieve her dream she’s become an inspiration for me to pursue my dreams. Thank you again. Think this came at the right moment for me P.S. The ad placement was seamlessly edited. I’m in awe
It helps if you have an affair with a married older successful director and get him to leave his wife for you so that you can “co” write and “co” direct and use all his established connections to be your jet fuel to the top. Pro-tips ladies!
sure, you could say that. i’m sure the movie’s success was in part related to the marketing. but if it wasn’t a work that resonated with people, if it wasn’t well made, if it didn’t hit the pulse of the culture, then it would have flopped anyway. or at least, it wouldn’t have been the crazy success that it was.
Just some feedback. 2 minutes into the video and it's just kept cutting. I feel I have no new actual information or insight yet, just buildup. I liked your Joaquin Phoenix video but this one overdoes that "keep cutting different bits strung together" a little too much for me.
this video was incredibly good, i love it, I even tore up a few times, thank you for making this, after all the hate Barbie and Greta has recieved I hope more people watch this and chenge their minds, also , now I want to watch the Greta's cinematografy.
As an editor who is also a TH-camr, it pains me to see the considerable amount of time invested in creating these videos, only for them to reach a mere couple of thousand viewers instead of a massive audience they deserve. I often wonder how you stay inspired to keep producing such high-quality content on a platform designed to promote effortless and trivial material. I have a small community, and I plan to share this video with them, I hope at least 10% will get to know and see what I'm talking about.
Greta is one of the greats, being able to weave a feminist message into a movie about a billion dollar brand takes skill, and shes certainly got that in spades.
I love your videos so much; they're in a very small category of media that gets my full, single-screen focus. They all hit pretty hard, but this one felt more real than usual as someone who (barring tragedy) is gonna have a daughter soon and is completely overwhelmed and terrified but also so excited.
I just binged watched your videos, and really this is my favorite ever, Barbie is such a well done movie is unreal, thank you for doing this beautiful documental, i was moved to tears ❤❤
"A coming of age story is something that happens again and again and again throughout your whole life." where does this quote or things she says in this sequence come from?
What an honour it is to be able to feel in love, inspired, passionate, excited and a hint of sadness- for a whole 22 minutes. Honestly I still feel it. This feeling continues beyond the length of this video. Words are useless for how I feel. I just feel, in love, watching this. I unconditionally love what I just experienced. Thank you for making the videos the way you do. You aren't making them "logically for retention", you're making them with heart, passion & curiosity. I rarely get chills with TH-cam videos, but I did at 20:00 especially seeing you & Jasmine in there. Such a beautiful emotion to experience and feel.
Oppie and Barbenheimer were both mediocre and both still did a killing at the box office because people don't know what a good film is anymore and filmmakers only know how to make movies anymore, the art of cinema is dead. And because of that they were the best two things on the market at the time. That's all Barbie especially out of the two rode the hype wave of its many celebrity cameos and the cultural relevance of the IP surrounding it harder than any other movie I've ever seen. Take Barbie and remove the Barbie name from it and the countless cameos, call it the poly pocket movie instead, literally wouldn't make 1% of what it did at the box office.

Zoomers talking about editing again. But, you didn't write "literally" so that was a pleasent surprise. Heheh.
Wow, thank you!
Heard this video got nominated for the oscars
So I knew her when we were in our teens, we ran in the same crowds in theatre, we performed together in 2 ballet productions where we actually hung out offstage. She was basically actually how she was portrayed here, but a little bit mire hyper and all over the place.
She’s trash

her characters feel so human and I love that! thank you for the comment 🫶
Very smooth ad placement, wasn't sure it was an ad at first
Snuck that in like "only the tip."
Wow, what a beautiful video about such an inspiring woman. I cried like a baby in the end. Kudos!
your videos are like an art-form, truly impressive
This dropped JUST as I finished binging dodford’s videos, I’m so excited!
Hope you enjoy!
These videos are reinforcing my opinion that editing is the most powerful skill in the creative arts. In music, writing, and -duh- videos it's all about how you divide things up and put them together again. Thank you.
This video was so wonderful to watch and see your content grow, genuinely cried watching how you told her story
Second watch, you're an inspiration dude. These are amazing, keep your head up, the algorithm will figure it out sooner or later xox
Greta is gonna become one of those classic directors whose movies will be studied in film schools.. her directing style is so unique and realistic and refreshing..
If I could edit like dodford I’d have 10 million subs
This made me cry. It is simply beautiful. I love how you portray emotion and just how people are, their aspirations and goals and success.
i always feel like im beeing seen and represented in greta's films... this is the first time that i feel like im seeing greta represented.
Man.. Ive only commented on your channel a handful of times but i must say, your videos are so inspiring both in subject matter and the way you write/edit them. Truly beautiful work man 💐
as a 27 year old director yet to write or direct a feature this is hitting me
This is the single best video essay I have ever seen, and i do watch too many of them. It has inspired me to pick up a piece of writing I had put on the side fo YEARS, because I was just too scared to do anything with it. My only fear now, is that I am sure I'll never even come close to edit the short movie as good as this video.
over glorifying mediocrity at it's best
nobody's talking about how well this is edited tho ... the most epic highlight reel of all time

Sorry, but Greta Gerwig's got some growing up to do before she's recognized as a serious film maker.
The ad spot seemed really awkward in the middle of the video

I started crying omg this is such a good video
These videos are changing youtube, such a great story that you have put together. Each video you post is better than the last.
come on lol anybody could of directed this shit is been 60 years in the making lol lol
Barbie's marketing budget was more than the films budget. Cultural moment or have we all been manipulated by a massive advertising campaign?
sure, you could say that. i’m sure the movie’s success was in part related to the marketing. but if it wasn’t a work that resonated with people, if it wasn’t well made, if it didn’t hit the pulse of the culture, then it would have flopped anyway. or at least, it wouldn’t have been the crazy success that it was.

Amazing edit! I feel like you really captured what Greta is about. I will definetly come back to this video
This is, as usual, a masterpiece.
TH-cam is lucky to have you here, rather than produced on Netflix.
Oh man... What a crisp video ❤
This might be your best work.
thank you, king hayden 👑
That was beautiful and absolutely amazing, I love Greta and I think you depicted her journey very well with only the editing💕
There's no A roll on this video
That's when you know dodford is good

The hype for this video has been crazy
💯 It’s Dodford thoooo
you really ran with that stock footage of the flower and lady bug, but i still loved the video
This is really great, man. I'm sorry it's not finding as much success as your other recent work, it deserves to. Hope it takes off.
YOOOO ITS HERE
Your editing is on point 👌🏿 subscribed
OMG this is so beautifully put together

“Now this is a story…. 😏
starting to suspect her husband is the key ingredient
Dear GOD this is genuinely one of my favorite videos on the internet EVER
do you use screenlines to hide the quality of some of these clips? just wondering
Award-worthy video! Well done
By the end I was getting emotional! Amazing.
You have A real gift for pacing
My man is on a quest to change the title 100 times
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW. WHAT A FREAKING MASTERPIECE...
I love your videos so much; they're in a very small category of media that gets my full, single-screen focus.

ladybird and little women are two of my all time favorite films and i’m so happy greta is finally getting the mainstream reconditioned she deserves
Wait....so is Will Smith coming up next month??? That outro was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, right???
Greta has such a pretty smile.
