I can't tell you how happy I get when I see a Nerdwriter video pop up in my subscription box. Great video mate!

"I'm not sure what they're doing in film school these days...." Lol at the not-so-subtle burn.
-
Sound design needs to be appreciated more. It can make cinema accessible to the blind.

There can never be too many Spielberg video essays. The man is a genius. I’d love to see you do an analysis on the way his filmography shifts tonally (i.e. Schindler’s List and Munich versus Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park), and how Spielberg maintains his central aesthetics, while still remaining fluid.

The essay god has returned!

Truly an underrated movie in spielberg's filmography.

Dude, this makes me wanna rewatch EVERYTHING I ever watched!
-
Such a fantastic video.
-
Wow, im in a media/film school and just today we had a lesson in sound design. But you really made a better example than my professor.
-
I agree that sound effects can help the environment of a film. And sometimes no music in a scene can make it better, like in No Country For Old Men.
-
So good.
-
Finally someone analysis Spielberg films. Most of them YouTube channels analyse Nolan and Tarantino films. But Spielberg is legend
-
Sounds invisibility is one of its strongest assets, but I especially love when it takes centre place in the storytelling of a scene. Like how you point out the "impressionistic" design used to ramp up the intensity of characters emotions. Quiet is intense, silence is deafening. Thank you for this brilliant look into the side of cinema which often goes overheard. xx

As a man with hearing loss I tend to do more then just hear things. I tend to visualise what I hear so it can "sound" better. And what you describe right there is something I do on a daily bases so I don't loose track of what im trying to hear,,and also because I don't want to keep saying "what" when people are talking. Very nice video.

Brilliant dissection of a classic Spielberg sequence
-
Speaking of sound design, it's amazing how you, on this final seconds speaking with us, creates such a "smoothie" feeling after feeding our brains. It's awesome! The music, the tune of your voice. It really surprises me how careful you are with your videos. Thanks for teaching me so much. have a great new year you all

Such a good video. The audio production is soothing and crisp. The delicate mix of commentary really is impressive. This doesn't even mention the overall flow of the video, which is excellent. Great job!
