    Not many directors use movies as a medium on their own. "Most" movies are meant to look like real life and a lot even tell real stories. Edgar Wright uses evey tool at his disposal to create something new, something that is not life like, something that could not be told the same way on the radio or in a book. He really makes unique movies. I respect him a lot for that. A lof of work goes into what he does. People may consider it silly sometimes but I personallly love it.

      Great insight and you're right. The reason I love Edgar Wright is because he makes movies that have to be movies. The frame is a playground that he truly plays in.

      But the key thing to me is, it's not *just* over-the-top and silly. What makes the silly stuff work is that it has heart. The style is always in service of the substance. At its core is a good story with relatable characters. No matter how OTT it gets, it's always grounded in something real, and indeed - despite the gore - wholesome.

    Found this channel last year and has been one of my favorites ever since. This channel had made me love films even more and appreciate the art of filmmaking. It even came to the point that I even had to keep myself from blurting out trivias, facts, techniques, etc. from the movie that we are watching on movie nights. XD. I just want to say that whatever you are doing, keep it up StudioBinder. Thank you for producing such high-quality contents. Someone, like me, a high-school stident, learns from and appreciates this. Truly, this channel is a gold mine of quality content.

    Something I see filmmakers say all the time is to just make things. Just get out there and do it. I think my fear of making something bad is what holds me back a lot, in all sorts of aspects of life really, so it's inspiring. I think Wright showing off his early stuff is massively helpful. Young directors who are making the same kind of slightly clumsy or "embarrassing" early work can see that it is all part of the process and not to be disheartened. If Edgar Wright, one of the world's greatest movie directors, made stuff like this at my age then I'm on the right track.

    It makes so much sense that he made animation when he was younger. The way his movies are laid out, often giving stylishly shot frames to otherwise mundane set pieces like a door being locked, or a shoe being tied, is something I’ve only ever found in animation (particularly anime).
