In this episode of the YouTube show Frame by Frame, the host breaks down the art of car chase scenes, specifically as seen in the Fast & Furious franchise. It all comes down to the concept of motion vectors, and the way the filmmakers maintain the geography — and therefore the coherence — of the scene.
Some of you may have already been familiar with the techniques explained here, but for those who weren't, I figured now was a good time to take a look at this since a new Fast movie is coming in less than a month.

Apparently, no one’s sick of talking about La La Land yet, as more behind-the-scenes pieces, homages, and takeoffs keep pouring in as we get closer to the movie’s likely Oscar sweep. Most know that the film itself is an homage to classic Hollywood musicals. But in a new short video, Frame By Frame has examined its tie to one director in particular: Vincente Minnelli (a.k.a. Liza’s dad and Judy Garland’s second husband). Minnelli helmed musicals in the golden MGM era like Meet Me In St. Louis, An American In Paris, and Gigi. Frame By Frame’s film theorists point out Damien Chazelle used many of Minnelli’s specific techniques—like long tracking shots, surrealism, even the bold use of color—which helped La La Land stand out just as much as Gigi.

The Greeks had a word for it: scopophilia. To derive pleasure from watching. Normally, that refers to the enjoyment people get from viewing erotic objects or pornography. In film theory, however, that decidedly unsexy-sounding term is specifically used to describe how the act of coitus is portrayed in cinema in order to excite viewers. The webseries Frame By Frame (its slogan: “Like film school but Better”) devotes its attention to scopophilia in an intriguing episode called “Filming Sex Scenes: How Hollywood Arouses An Audience.” Despite that lurid, panting title and the presence of a few scantily clad performers in the footage, this is a thoughtful, semi-scholarly video essay seemingly aimed at aspiring filmmakers who want to know the tricks of the trade. The gabby, rapid-fire narration by host MatPat of The Film Theorists should have a powerful libido-defeating effect on most viewers. Nevertheless, there’s some good information to be...

Mubi is presenting the global online premiere of Peter Tscherkassky's short film, The Exquisite Corpus, running June 11 - July 10, 2016. The film will play at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York on July 1 and 3, and at Cinefamily in Los Angeles on July 1, 2 and 6.While Peter Tscherkassky was arranging pornographic film strips into his latest found-footage phantasmagoria, The Exquisite Corpus, Eve Heller reminded him, "Don't you forget about men! I want to have my fun too, not just watch women." This is advice from one experimental filmmaker to another, but also a request from one spouse to another (the two are married). The Exquisite Corpus premiered at the 2015 Quinzaine des réalisateurs, but the film's raw materials come from disreputable, disposable skin flicks and stag films. While Tscherkassky continues his working method he calls "manufracture" (named after his 1985 film) that pulverizes and reconfigures just about every assumption of cinematic...

It’s sometimes hard to believe that we’re already two decades and eight films into the working life of Quentin Tarantino. Like Martin Scorsese, Tarantino is a proud cinephile and film obsessive, and his knowledge of film and film history is likely one the best in the industry today.

The “golden age” of Italian horror films passed decades ago, but that doesn’t mean the “master of the macabre” Mario Bava is long forgotten. Bava’s films, like “Black Sunday” and “Kill, Baby, Kill,” have inspired generations of horror buffs (and musicians, notably Ozzy Osbourne) to immerse themselves in gore and fanaticism. Not unlike Guillermo Del Toro, Bava was notably meticulous with respect to every aspect of filmmaking. Read More: The 25 Best Horror Films of the Century So Far Frame by Frame has concocted a new short video essay on the parallels between Del Toro and Bava; the video explores the paradigms Bava executed on each of his productions and how Del Toro makes homages as such, specifically in his newest film “Crimson Peak.” Bava’s use of contrast in color, building his own sets, and scrupulously faithful period pieces are three undeniable hallmarks of his filmmaking, all of...

Earlier today the inherent “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” fever grew rampant when lots of new images were released, but if you’re like me, the anticipation for the new films keeps the old ones subconsciously present.

It’s hard to imagine that, in a civilized world, something as seemingly mundane and normal as taking a simple photograph would not only cause civil unrest, but become illegal. Well, that was exactly the case in Afghanistan, while under the rule of the Taliban.
From 1996 until 2001, Afghanistan was under the strict, disturbingly fundamentalist control of the Taliban, implementing Sharia law. Things ranging from the above mentioned criminalization of simple things like photographs to forcing women to not only wear a traditional burqa, but keeping them from being educated for much of their early youth, until allowing them to learn the Qur’an.Then came 2001. Out of a revolution came a fledgling free press, and not much else in the way of true progress. An area as dangerous as they come and still fraught with death, corruption and fundamentalism, Afghanistan was once one of the world’s vibrant locales, only...

Watch: See Afghanistan Through a Bold New Lens in Exclusive 'Frame by Frame' Trailer On September 28, co-directors Alexandria Bombach and Mo Scarpelli joined the International Documentary Association (Ida) to screen and discuss their upcoming documentary "Frame By Frame," which follows the journey of four Afghan photojournalists who fight against an oppressive Taliban regime to pursue the freedom of press. The official film synopsis reads: "When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, taking a photo was a crime. After the regime fell from power in 2001, a fledgling free press emerged and a photography revolution was born. Now, as foreign troops and media withdraw, Afghanistan is left to stand on its own, and so are its journalists. Set in a modern Afghanistan bursting with color and character, 'Frame by Frame' follows four Afghan photojournalists as they navigate an emerging and dangerous media landscape – reframing Afghanistan for the world, and for themselves.

Last year.s Best Picture Oscar went to Birdman. While the film has some great performances that had a lot to do with the win, another reason it was so popular among movies fans was that it was technically impressive.

However, a new video goes into the details of how the cuts between takes were hidden to the audience. Check it out.

At first glance, "Frame by Frame," a documentary about Afghanistan's photojournalists, and "Happy 40th," a narrative drama about a middle-aged wheelchair-bound woman hosting a birthday weekend with friends, have little in common. But, in fact, they have at least a couple of things in common: They were both first features by female directors. At a recent BendFilm Festival (Bff) panel about first-time filmmaking, the films' directors, Alexandria Bombach and Madoke Reine, respectively, were on hand to discuss how they made their first features. Read More: Watch: See Afghanistan Through a Bold New Lens in Exclusive "Frame by Frame" Trailer Bombach, who co-directed (with Mo Scarpelli), produced, shot and co-edited "Frame by Frame," which was screening in the Documentary Competition at Bff, said she initially started out making a short film in Afghanistan before realizing she had a feature on her hands. "I was seeing life on the streets,...

Read More: 'Afghan Cycles' Showcases Women Who Subvert Gender Norms on Two Wheels' The upcoming documentary "Frame by Frame" follows a group of individuals who are the first group in a decade to learn about photography in Afghanistan since the Taliban's decree against the medium. Though they now have the power to share a cultural identity with the rest of the world through photos, they face new forms of oppression from those who want to silence their images. The doc is directed by Alexandria Bombach and Mo Scarpelli and is as much about preserving the memory of a people as it is trying to figure out what Afghanistan's future should look like. Through the lens of a camera, audiences will see how some believe celebrating and sharing photography is a moral obligation. "Frame by Frame" will open in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Music Hall on November 6 and in New York City...

Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture: Filmmaking Lesson of the Day: Frame by Frame shows us how to shoot a subjective drug trip sequence like the one in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Vintage Image of the Day: Alfred Hitchcock, who was born on this date in 1899, is either being fed some birthday cake by Doris Day (on her birthday, supposedly) or is in danger of being stabbed with a cake-covered knife. James Stewart looks on, as this is during the making of The Man Who Knew Too Much.

It is fair to call Matthew Patrick, the host of the Game Theorists YouTube channel, one of the smartest people in the YouTube community. Patrick doesn’t just wax philosophical about hidden themes within popular video games; he’s also an online video expert who often shares his knowledge with his fellow creators.
Now, Patrick is bringing his smarts to a new subject: film. He has teamed up with his partner network, Defy Media, to launch The Film Theorists, which brings Patrick’s in-depth analysis to the world of movies.
In each episode of Film Theorists’ main series, Patrick dives into a specific work and sheds light on elements that less careful consumers may have missed. Despite the channel’s title, it isn’t limited to movies; instead, Patrick is taking on all sorts of pop culture franchises, including Game of Thrones and Harry Potter.

We'd expect a documentary about photojournalists to have a gorgeous poster, and the exclusive one above for Alexandria Bombach and Mo Scarpelli's South by Southwest-bound "Frame by Frame" certainly delivers. The documentary follows four Afghan photojournalists left to stand on their own after the fall of the Taliban in 2001 when a free press emerges and a photography revolution is born. As the official synopsis continues: "'Frame By Frame' uses cinema vérité, powerful photojournalism and never-before-seen footage shot in secret during the Taliban regime to connect audiences to its four remarkable characters who use their cameras in pursuit of truth - whether that is revealing the human stories in their neighborhoods or exposing the sociopolitical intricacies that Afghanistan grapples with today. " "Afghanistan is a complex and beautiful country, enriched by the nuanced lives of its people," said Bombach and Scarpelli in a director's...

Amy Schumer and Bill Hader in TrainwreckPhoto: Universal Pictures With Sundance just wrapping up and Berlin starting up in a few days, we are now immersed in the year-long barrage of film festivals. One such festival in South By Southwest. A few weeks back they announced the first seven films of their program, including the opening night film Brand: A Second Coming. Today, they have revealed the rest of the features to be shown in March (except for the midnight program), and some of it has me very excited. The bigger titles announced do not do much for me. Paul Feig's Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy, and the Will Ferrell/Kevin Hart starrer Get Hard leave a lot to be desired in terms of anticipation, as does a work in progress cut of Judd Apatow's latest film Trainwreck. I'm guessing an Apatow work in progress is probably around three and a half hours.
