Kees van Dijkhuizen and heresjohnny1991

I just discovered the two youtube accounts I named this blog about and I am really impressed. Among other videos, both of these guys make montages of the works from great directors like Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, the Coen brothers, Danny Boyle, Stanely Kubrick, David Fincher, Darren Aronofsky, and many more. Kees van Dijkhuizen does a series titled "[the films of]" and heresjohnny1991 has a series called "the works". There are several things that make these monatges awesome. One would be the high quality they are in. It keeps its viewers engaged and you never think: 'they just took this footage from some website'. Instead, it looks very professional. Another thing that makes these reels awesome is their portrayal of the reasons these directors are so amazing. The style and specific skills of each director shine through these three minute videos. I know many people are probably thinking its extremely difficult to show someone's ability in the film industry in such little time. To those thinking it, the account holder of Kees van Dijkhuizen says:

"Yes, I see your point. The most important cause for these 'problems' are that this is YouTube. People need that hook, they want to see stuff get done in quick succession. I'm not a big fan of it either, but it does fit my wish to do one every month and I don't have all that much time for a big, epic 7-minute montage. The series is more about showing the minds that shape film today, both individually as well as collectively."

I found this answer in the comments when someone told him the reels are too short. I agree with him; this is youtube and if you want someone to watch your edit, you definitely don't make it seven minutes long. The last thing that made these reels incredible was the talent both of the youtubers brought to the table. Both of these guys do such a service to these films through their projects and all I can say is wow and thank you.

Watch these videos!

All of the montages were great but these were the ones that stuck with me as the best.
