In a horror film, cutting like this makes it more effective as well. It leaves more to the imagination which usually makes things scarier than just showing something upfront.
@DanielJohnsonGray
This is wonderful because it's 100% applicable no matter what level of filmmaking you're at. You're the best, DFS
@ThomasFlight
David I just want to say I love your content and you're a blessing to YouTube.
@21312732678423
Film making was never something I thought I was going to be interested in. However, the way you explain and share with us your knowledge about this industry is so good and honest that you make people like me loving these topics! I hope you'll never stop posting your videos here even when you become one of the best directors in Hollywood! Btw, i really like your horror movies!
@paprika8177
Didnt know that Alien scene was made like that! Simple but highly effective. Great video!
@sparker2857
I have learned more from this channel during the pandemic, than by attention the online "classes" I school.
@cjkalandek996
I love that you used Tremors as an example for cutting from normal footage to miniature footage.
@Someonecomegether
I like how you broke it down and you were just really up front about how things go behind the scenes. None of those movies lost their magic just because you explained what was really happening, it just made them all the more fascinating. Thanks for that.

Big D. Samberg, even with a budget to "fix it in post", he's still a filmmaker
@christophermoonlightproduction
I love using cuts. Not only are they simpler and a lot of times more effective but they give the audience's imagination room to breathe. I've been in love with how the facehugger scene in Aliens was done for over 20 years now and believe it was one of the things that inspired and convinced me that I could take up filmmaking.
@devanand2121
I hope all Creative people should be like you! such an down to earth and helping mentality! because of you people like me inspired and gather knowledge of real film world! Thanks a ton! requesting you never stop making content for poor people like me!
@alex_montoya
What a great channel, David. I've been devouring your latest entries today and it's really refreshing to see you keep doing short films with cheap gear as a lot of us. Kudos!
@kasperstenbom
Love the youtube videos David. I get so excited to watch them, it's weird, I get like an real genuine happiness when I watch your videos.

I love this man, an amatuer film maker turned hollywood director who doesn't forget his roots and still pays respect to all of the simple tricks
@thatguyfromthatthing8573
In the recent film Make Up, they use cuts, either to a different part of the same set/location, or just a jump cut through a couple of seconds of the same take, to excellent effect to convey a very sudden change in mood. I'm a big admirer of long takes, but the last line of this video is absolutely my motto.
@coldDrive
"there is such a thing as too many cuts" Ah, "Bryan Mills jumps a fence", a classic.
@darkyolks
I'm halfway through reading "In the Blink of an Eye" so this feels almost like cosmic timing on your part. Great video as always
@AllThingsFilm1
This is probably one of the best lessons in using editing to enhance visual effects as I've ever seen. I'm saving this for future reference/inspiration.
@ShuriBear
This is so inspiring to see how people decades ago just did simple tricks to "fool" us.
