Postmortem: Every Frame a Painting (2017)

I follow a decent amount of video essay channels on YouTube, some better than others, here are a few that I think operate around the same level of quality as Every Frame a Painting:

Lessons from the Screenplay - Similar to EFaP but for screenplays (obviously)

Wendover Productions - Many topics but generally focuses on Logistics, Aviation, Economics, Geography, and their intersections

Ahoy - Video games, firearms, and their intersection

NoClip - Video games; Their format is more traditional documentary as opposed to video essay, but I feel compelled to mention them here due to their quality work (disclaimer: I donate to them via Patreon)

I like Lessons from the Screenplay and Wendover Productions, but Every Frame a Painting seemed to have something that those channels are missing.

I think it helped that the creator (Tony Zhou) is himself a filmmaker and editor. It felt like I was watching a well-done film about films, rather than a "video essay". A lot of these other media analysis channels seem to be from fairly ordinary people without professional experience.
