The god of video essays has awoken from his eternal slumber.

[JacobGeller]

It's rare that I see a video so good I'm actively mad at it.

[TheThirdPew]

this might for real be the best video essay i've ever seen

"We understand what we see, but we feel what we hear."

As someone who edits professionally this video was so well put together. The sound design and editing was so smooth and flawless. Major props man. You "bumped the lamp."

[andersmai]

Often, when I need to feel creative, I watch this video again. It's just so perfect I can't help but feel motivated to do my task at hand.

“A little more than a lot to be desired” is one of the most subtle rips on Disney I’ve ever heard.

"Sound is exactly one third of how we experience cinema, the other two are what we see and how we feel."

I quite like that.

[KillerHatDude]

I like how he didn't open with his usual tape opening and instead opted to just give us the hiashi piano scale to immerse us in this essay. Really cool dude!

Watch the detail in his glasses at 10:09

This is the work of a master.

FASTEST IVE EVER CLICKED A VIDEO HOLY SHIT WELCOME BACK

Edit: This may very well be my new favorite video you’ve ever put out. I’m a massive fan of these films and even I didn’t know the differences in the English and Japanese dubs or the clever details in the sound design of Spirited Away or The Wind Rises. And you’re right. I am going to rewatch all of these now. Thank you so much.

Why did this makes me cry ?
1) it's so beautifully made
2) it speaks with true respect and passion about these wonderful pieces of art
3) I love seeing the technical crew acnowledged and praised for their work
4) It just did

"Americans don't like it if there's no music for 3 minutes" movie studios don't trust us Americans do they?

[DJMasterq]

the cut from "spaces" to "sounds" through the clouds made me believe in life again

[Kolajer]

I can't get over this editing, surreal

[arandomnerd]

I like to imagine this whole time he’s just been watching Miyazaki films

[GoodBloodGames]

Finally got around to watching this. Beautiful stuff, Kap. I see all your masking work.
