What a fantastic watch. Thank you for sharing.
I always figured that a prime aspect of poor artistic direction can be seen in a work's choice of color. Hell, even [I]books[/I] use color to convey deeper meanings of objects.
criswell is amazing, he needs more views
his analysis plus his fantastic production standards are something you dont see often in a channel of his size

He reminds me of Every Frame a Painting, or maybe EFP was inspired by him.
Either way, its a very good thing.
I think that just awoken an undiscovered interest in me, I've never looked at a film like that.
Fantastic, thank you.
I'm very surprised to see no mention of Tarkovsky who sometimes only used colors in his films in scenes where he wanted to convey an emotion. For example, Stalker was entirely a yellow monochrome until the Zone was entered. Also the guy who made the video seems to assume all color is intentional, which it often is, but sometimes it is pure chance.
Fun Fact:
The song used during the credits was made by Joji Miller, aka Filthy Frank.

This is very true, and Tarkovsky is a very good example, but at the same time, it doesn't really have to matter at all whether a particular lighting was intentional or not. Whether or not the artist intended to do something in their work, it's part of the work. A great example of this is the painting called Nighthawks, by Edward Hopper. Google it and have a look. There's no door on the diner. This is a feature of the painting that has deeply influenced its critical reception. When he was finally asked what he intended in excluding the door, he admitted it was a mistake, an oversight on his part.
If that still seems hard to swallow, then think of it this way: plenty of things have been invented or discovered by accident or otherwise unintentionally. Examples range from the microwave oven to the inkjet printer to antibiotics. Why should a work of art be any different?
Now I feel like watching every one of those movies.
