For sheer directorial craft, there are few people working today who can match David Fincher. And yet he describes his own process as “not what I do, but what I don’t do.” Join me today in answering the question: What does David Fincher not do?

After he calls viewers perverts and stares into the camera, I feel like he's undressing me with his eyes. lol.
+HalcyonSerenade He was looking right through the lens directly at you! lol
+HalcyonSerenade Ikr, I felt the same
+asiel smith Fincher and chill.
actually he was the pornstar, and then decided he'll like to be behind the camera instead. When he realised he was quite good at it he heavily edited his work..... for a more, um... less stimulated folk??
+asiel smith the movies he makes are for stimulated people, they get off on different content though ;)
That smile in the end
Like the cat who caught the canary, something he got away with but can't contain his pride. So coquettish, and somewhat adorable. Just pat the Fincher on his face. Jeez, Tony kind of cut that perfectly. Love seeing someone that's good at what they do criticizing and analyzing their chosen artform, using that same format to express analysis and criticism.
Always be around a hunky man when you're with Fincher. Make sure you pay the hunkbeef. Take care.
yeah thats been playing in my mind over and over haha
Thanks to the perfect cut and the music volume ramping up gives you a sense that there's more to it.
just keep that Emily ratajkowski scene from gone girl in mind...
I wish I were cinematically literate enough to even catch any one of these nuances in films I watch.
Thrilla Whale Not too late to learn, I hope
Just keep getting knowledge of the art, watching this channel may help, also plenty of books exist. One of the few thing is to *always* remind you that everything happens in a film for a reason, nothing is left to random, remind you that the camera is present, always. You'll get all the angles and cut easily. It may ruin some of movie experience for you (it did for me after I entered cinema classes) but it opens a *whole* new world. I remember when I was a kid I wouldn't even notice cuts, like it's sound stupid but it seemed logical for me, born in a generation where everything comes at you in such massive flow of video flux, when I actually learnd grammary of cinema it changed my view like hard, I still remember how I wa not getting it and had bad grades my firt year along with 3/4 of my classes, I was like "but why ? I worked on this..." but I didn't did it the right way, after it "clicked" (that's the key word) I jusut couldn't miss any cuts lol, then t just develops from there, slight different focals, the étalo (doesn't know what's the english word ? The colour of the pciture if you'd like" and importantly : how all of these grammary tools serve the subject. That's the main thing, the most important one. Hope you continue get into this, and long live cinema.
You may not have noticed it... But your brain did.
Thrilla Whale You don't have to be "cinematically" smart, just observant and focused on the details. Even moviegoers who watch films as a hobby can explain why X shot focused so much on X character or X item. Every time the camera pans towards something or someone, there's a reason behind it.
Relatable
I love David Fincher, one of my favorite directors. And he's right, I am a pervert.
+Jombo What did he mean by that though??
+MrHonwe I think he meant that we, as audiences, like to invade the privacy of the characters on screen. Which is why he lets uncomfortable and private things like rape scenes go on for a long time, and how he holds a shot to seriously ramp up the tension.
Theodore Tan oooooooooohhhhhhhh
So is Kevin
Jombo Do you have instagram? We can talk about movies.
It's incredibly refreshing to see a film reviewer on KZhead that has a grasp for the technical side of filmmaking and cares enough about a movie to analyze its presentation rather than just describe the plot of the film and whether they liked it or not. Thank you for making these. Hope your Patreon campaign goes well.
I follow you both and find it endlessly eye opening and almost essential for how I see movies. It's like I've been waiting for someone to say this stuff all my life. Thank you.
Everything is important in a film. You can have great technical shots, well designed scenes, but none of those work if the plot sucks. You'll be thinking about why is this scene relevant before you decide that it's gorgeous. For instance, Michael bay can produce wicked cgi and create epic looking scenes, but I'm thinking what the fu k is going on with this movie (transformers: age of extinction). I say plot and story are the core in film making, and everything else should serve to compliment the story. David fincher can certainly have a style of film making, but he also tends to choose dark stories, which compliments his undertone and gloomy style. But more important, every decision that he makes informs the plot (interview with Flynn and Pike). When he makes movies, everything right, all shots are relevant, all scenes designed in a way to inform the overall narrative.
***** Not entirely true... As my good friend Akira Kurosawa stated: "With a good script, a good director can produce a masterpiece. With the same script, a mediocre director can produce a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can't possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. The script must be something that has the power to do this." I understand what you're saying; that the technical power of cinema can be very persuasive, but your type of thinking is precisely what is destroying Hollywood right now.
Wow, it's fantastic to see my two favourite film dudes on KZhead bump into each other. Both of you do stellar work - keep these videos coming.
***** Ridley Scott's motto.

You know what? I'm okay with David Fincher calling me a pervert.
I can't argue with the truth, so I'm okay with it as well.
I think we're all okay with it..

I swear, David Fincher is my favorite director working today.
carloswachuwa13 he's my 2nd or joint first with Nolan... but my favourite to study
Lately everything has a shaky cam, it drives me nuts-
Irreversible would be one hell of a ride for you. lol
or cloverfield !!!
Onmysheet The two have nothing to do with each other. One is for artistic effect, the other for fear. I absolute love irreversible, but I loath the shaky cam as slung into popularity by The Blair Witch Project and used throughout action shot.
frank underwood I love found-footage shit, because I used to be obsessed with filming my life and watching it over again when I was a kid. That's not the only reason, though - it definitely lends some power and drama to scenes when used right.
DigitalBerserk shaky cam is not to be confused with handheld
Came here as soon as I saw the trailer for VOIR. Congratulations Tony
Yep same here. Back again to what Tony in action.
David Fincher is the main reason why I am an aspiring filmmaker.
Cigarettes are the main reason why I'm an asthmatic filmmaker.
Debilitating bouts of malaria are the reason I'm an attritive filmmaker.
Alcohol is the reason why i am an abusive filmmaker
3D is the main reason why I'm an antipathic filmmaker.
Drugs are the main reason why I'm an abstract filmmaker
I don't care how many hundreds of times I watch Fight Club; that flying shoe cracks me up like the very first time, EVERY time.
Jason Gormally I feel like this is what doing 50 takes gets you. That one take with a perfect flying shoe. I also LOL every time at Brad Pitt pulling off Norton's shoe and beating him with it.
Fight Club is full of shots that are just too perfect.
Can anybody shed some light? I've seen Fight Club about a hundred times and again after reading this comment and have no idea what scene you guys are talking about
It's one of those montage scenes where fight club members have to pick fights with random people. 6:28
That last cut is so awesome though!!! That smile and than the perfect blend with the music!! Love it!!
This shows how perfect Fincher and Sorkin are for each other. I really wish they'd do more together. They compliment each other perfectly. Fincher knows how to direct the deep expository scenes Sorkin loves to write.
Fincher's style is very much like the way scenes are composed in graphical novels. It's true you can watch his movies with the sound turned down and still get a very good idea about what is going on.
At the end there, he is the Zodiac
The truck driver in Nice, France is the zodiac killer
The truck itself was the Zodiac Killer.
France is the Zodiac killer, stabbing people with the Eiffel Tower
Fuck I didn't watch the Zodiac.I hate spoilers ! Next time warn while giving a spoiler
Stanley Kubrick episode?
+Harry Smith Yes yes yes yes. He's my favourite director and I study/worship him.
+Harry Smith We're not ready.
+opmike343 Well, he said that he wouldn't do videos on directors that tons and tons of people have already talked about. So, the chances of him doing a Kubrick video are very slim.
LegoStarMovies But there aren't a lot of videos on KZhead about his film making style tho. Most of them are interpretation videos which make theories of his movies and the others are Illuminati/Moon landing conspiracy bullshit
David Fincher calling me a pervert and then smiling was the cherry on top of the reasons why I love this man.
That smile is kind of...HOT

The final quote in this video is 100% correct. You realize it the more you grow older that the people around you are as fucked up and have their own little details which make it fun to see.
I love the twinkle in his eye with that shit eating grin. He is so devilishly appealing, but if I was an actor I wouldn't last more than 10 takes working with him.

Trent Reznor and David Fincher complement each other's styles so well.
One of my favorite directors along with Richard Linklater and Edgar Wright.
hell yeah! all of them rule!
I hate handheld too, it's overused and cheap.
+tdreamgmail Especially with the genre of handheld "homemade" movies. fucking paranormal activity 9000+
+tdreamgmail Depends on how it's used. It's used quite well in Seven, but in movies like Blackhat, that just gives me a headache.
+metricmetamorph That's so frustrating.
***** You also gotta remember that handheld is very different from shaky cams. Shaky Cams are overused, but believe me, more movies use handheld cameras than you think.
+George Daugherty I know George. I happen to be a film enthusiast haha. But horror "homemade" movies are indeed shaky cams. I know handheld is really common and most of the time really intricate and suitable. You can check out a video on my channel called Paranoid Android, tell me what you think.
Has anyone been reporting their findings from Gone Girl to you yet? Just in case, I noticed: yet again, loads of exposition and people talking at a table one handheld shot of Affleck running to his car from the press a lot of switching POV'S (husband, wife, diary, cops, cameras) increased use of fades in editing (maybe this started in Benjamin Button? or Zodiac?) camera doesn't go through anything
There's at least one moment where one of the characters talks to another one offscreen (use of emptiness in the frame), but I don't remember what it was. Maybe it was Affleck's character talking to his sister and then going to another room to pick the box full of letters, but I'm not %100 sure.
luisguillermojg Yeah, that sounds right. Maybe a similar moment in the trailer park when Amy's two new "friends" start tossing her bedroom and it's filmed from another room over?
There's a moment of emptiness when Amy looks at Nick and touches the bed next to her, implying there's a space for him. I also saw two fridges. TWO, Fincher? COME ON.
Every Frame a Painting Perhaps they had two fridges in the novel. Must investigate further...
Every Frame a Painting The guy loves fridges, man.
This is cinephile porn. New favourite channel.
Funny how i use you videos about camera directing to get better at framing comic panels. Thank you and keep up the good work
It also works well in learning how to better frame in photography.
***** I concur about Watchmen, and all the more fascinating in that every panel of the 12-volume epic is exactly the same size and shape, regardless if it's a close-up of an eye or a panoramic landscape. The strict rigidity of the layout keeps our focus on the content within each frame rather than using relative size & shape to emphasize one panel over another.
Ditto. I try to borrow from everywhere.
Handheld is usually overused or exaggerated to make it look "handheld" "Impressive" camera moves is also overused (The Hobbit, I'm looking at you). Save the impressive camerawork for the impressive or important moments or the whole movie will become bland.
+GonkThePowerDroid Its remarkable going back to the Lord of the Rings films and looking at how well balanced it was visually compared to the hobbit, without even getting into arguments over CGI. Jackson in LOTR was at his peak form giving us both a big story with impressive visuals to underscore the enormity of the world and the task before them but also giving us a very intimate collection of character stories inside of this grand stage. The Hobbit failed at this in both respects, perhaps because to augment a lack of as comprehensive a character story the Hobbit actually is he expanded action that was tone deaf to the style and mood of the world we all know from the books and LOTR films and because the action itself was so disconnected from the story that was there because Tolkien was never about action like what Jackson used to stuff the Hobbit into a trilogy.
Impressive camera moves can't be overused IMO. If they are stylish and flaring to the point where it's distracting it's a problem. Look at Edgar Wright and Martin Scorsese, who are both excellent with putting energy in to the camera but always to serve the characters, story, comedy, dialogue etc. Handheld can be done well, like Paul Greengrass in Bourne Ultimatum, but it takes a lot of work to make the camera move feel organic and purposeful when doing handheld. I do think impressive camera work should definitely be reserved for important moments or payoffs or indications or anything worthy of emphasis, but it should also come from a lot more than just camerawork to emphasize something (actors, delivery, editing). Michael Bay overdoes camerawork because it's distracting and all style and 0 substance, and most of the time is to no purpose, and his camera movements, composition and framing is most of the time not going to be serving the characters or story in anyway. I think it's more about what to convey and how to convey it to emphasize something, whether it's impressive camerawork or not.
Have an additional new found respect for Fincher after watching this video.
+JstyleFilms Me too.
It's amazing how you can come back to a channel like this, almost 8 years later on and see how his analysis still holds up. With Mindhunter basically being about sitting around and having complex and deep talks with deeply disturbed men, and Gone Girl being about how a marriage gone sour were for most of the movie the characters are practically alone in the shots and how surgical the whole movie feels (like how the wife surgically creates the perfect escape framing her husband). Not to mention how little close ups at all in Gone Girl, and how expertly the close ups are used in the interrogation scenes in Mindhunter! Wish this channel would come back!
My favorite director.
I find your observations interesting and insightful. Would love to see your take on more directors -- on the Coen Brothers in particular.
Andy "Hi my name is Tony and this is Every Frame a Painting. These two guys are geniuses." --> cue DJ Shadow music, done.
Every Frame a Painting But why are they geniuses, Tony? This can only be explained in sufficient depth in a video essay. :)
ExtremehamJkd I think you mean *several* video essays (or several dozen), which might be the problem. :P
I love how you pointed out that Fincher used the camera in a what that doesn't make you think a person is holding it. It's almost like the camera is an out of body experience, or a ghostly chase. Really the only film that has the shakiness in it that truly makes the scenes work for me is Saving Private Ryan. It'd be neat if you could do a short video just on the D-day scene, but I figure many folks already have.
creekandseminole I liked how the brazillian film "Elite Squad" used it. It really added to the feel of the movie IMO
The scenes of war, (particularly the D-Day scene) in Saving Private Ryan was shot handheld and was a decision by Spielberg to emulate the spontaneous hand-held visuals of authentic WW2 archival footage. Outside of the scenes of conflict, the camera is stoic, deliberate, or controlled.
How did I JUST discover you channel????
And now Tony from this channel has a Netflix doc with Fincher! Amazing
Really? What is the name of the doc?
@@josuebenvindo VOIR :)
@@ahmedhallajian8886, thank you. I gonna watch it.
An awesome video essay Tony. Love the way you present this. Insightful and extremely enjoyable
I still get back to watching this every now and then.
This is actually really useful info if you're into graphic novels as well, considering how the still shots are organized.
Sorry but what do you mean? :)
Aidan Brooks I'm just pointing out that if you were writing and drawing some kinda comic, this would help you construct many of the dialogue-driven scenes. Laying out the panels and whatnot.
+The Lukanator Very true, but be wary. There are many things that work on screen but not on the page. Vice versa, don't be critical of something that works on the page because it wouldn't onscreen.
I love comparing comic frames and movie frames. I find comic books movies most interesting. It's shame there's not many of those. All of Frank Miller's work, Dick Tracy, Unbreakable.. that's about it. Please suggest more if you know any.
Subbed. What a great video
Arent you Stuckmann’s boi?
my favorite youtuber making a video on my favorite director. I don't think I can handle this...

I miss this channel so much...
Dude, you videos are rock solid. The audio is at a constant and comfortable level, no jump cuts, and the voice over is impeccable. Simple, yet extremely effective. Keep it up, brother.
Without a doubt these are some of the best videos I've seen anywhere about film, you know how Tarantino makes movies that make you want to make movies, your video essays have that same power. You're really good at this.

It's impossible to hate anyone we don't know personally.
I have mixed feelings on him and his style.
I'm kinda mixed. He's either really amazing or just meh. For every Fight Club, there's The Game. For every Se7en, there's an Alien 3. For every Gone Girl, there's a Panic Room.
Fincher-Reznor >>>> Nolan-Zimmer
Yes. Oh god, yes.
I am agreeing so hard.
great work as ever! thanks Tony! you're so close to 1 million, man! congratulations!
i LOVE david fincher's work. he is such a crafty storyteller.
You seriously make some of the best videos about films.
There's a special place in heaven for Tony Zhou.
I've seen this video 10-15 times now, love your video essays!
Hey, just wanted to say I have just found these videos and they are absolutely brilliantly done, really love and appreciate the work. Many thanks
So, now I'm a pervert
Ruth S only now?
Fincher is one funny and down to earth guy
every upload from you feels like a well-made short film or docu. I love the quality of your content and felt like I had to say something. Thanks for sharing !
I'm so happy I discovered this channel. I see a lot of channels on here that analyze film, but I love your focus on cinematography. Looking forward to more of your content!
Personally I LOVE it when a movie has an intro clip with some music, like in Se7en. When it's well done it's not cheesy at all, but actually sets the theme right away. It also makes the movie very memorable. I don't know if you did a video on this yet, I just found your channel!
My favorite close up ever was that zodiac scene i just love that and putting that bird noise in there while showing the bullets.Fincher is probably my favorite director
Your analysis are excelent and your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Thank you for the passion and the work you put into it.
Too good. Keep on posting more of these
Great job! This is becoming my favorite channel on KZhead.
+TheGamerFromMars You here?
It's weird to see a big channel with less then 10 likes on a comment.
Fridge shots are so film school.
This is one of the best edited pieces of KZhead gold I've ever witnessed.. That transition at the end from Fincher to the credits and Donovan gave me goosebumps.
I'd love for this series to return. Great video, thank you.
I miss you, Tony. Everyday.
I don't usually love the concepts but he's a genius - "like what's happening is doomed to happen". Love it.
You guys did a truly great and inspiring job, thank you for that!
this is brilliant - just what ive been looking for -great series keep it up please
Fincher is the reason why I got so into film. There was a time when my favourite movie was Transformers but after Benjamin Button impacted me so much that I started looking at cinema more as an art than entertainment. Even though I do realize that the film that started it all wasn't as good as I thought, it still holds a place in the heart this cinephile and if I now watch films In the Mood for Love or Wings of Desire and study filmmakers such as Haneke or Bergman I have Fincher to thank for that. In the slight chance that you've seen this comment (it seems like you know the double rainbow so I guess you're somewhat in touch with the internet haha) I have to truly thank you, Mr. Fincher and I hope I can one day be cited alongside you as one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.
I had to re-watch after hearing about the announcement of VOIR. Congrats to both Tony and Taylor, can't wait to see what you have been up to!
I miss you Tony! Your video essays are still the absolute best on youtube :)
Excellent video, I really enjoyed it, thank you for making it.
Dude, I love this.
Fincher's body of work is nearly flawless, and he just keeps getting better. He manages to convey the most intense uneasiness with amazingly choreographed camera shots that don't rely on the support of excessive dramatic music, sound effects or cheap gore. It's pretty amazing how he draws from his actors every ounce of emotion needed to make the viewer understand what's going on in their minds with as little as a well-placed frame. I haven't checked if he has favorite editors of DPs, but I would guess he does, because the structure of his movies is usually as recognizable as his directing style. His refusal to overuse handheld is also something I would like to thank him personally for. I want to watch a story develop without the need to also develop a headache, you know?
I wish this channel would of kept on. 5 years since the last video and I'm still recommending this channel as a gateway to understanding film
David Fincher put out a 6 episode documentary series on Netflix called VOIR that Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos did episodes for.
so well made, incredible editing and presentation
Brilliant director - not always picking the best stories to tell, IMO, but perhaps he likes the challenge.
Disney approached him for a Star Wars film but they didn't agree to the same vision apparently. I would love to see a Fincher Star Wars film personally.
Agreed - and if Disney is clever about it, Star Wars can be an interesting canvass for a lot of storytellers.
+Monkey Magic it would turn fincher mainstream, and i feel that often times ruins a directors career. (unless they had already been fairly mainstream like Abrams, because hes pretty good at what he does already).
+Monkey Magic Lets see, Fincher thinks we're all perverts and Disney owns Star Wars... how could that possibly not work out.... :P
+Magnus Nygaard That's true. He is like one hit, one miss, one hit, one miss. But he surely tells them interestingly none the less.
I think this channel is still the best of its kind.
Always love essays on the technical aspects of filmmaking. Go on like this :)
This is great, happy to find a good KZhead channel about filmmaking! Keep on the amazing work!
Fincher is just so good.
Awesome Awesome Awesome!
Love your works man! thanks a lot
Thanks very much! Will def support.
i remember seeing the game in the 90's when i was a young teenager and thinking that the atmosphere and feel of that movie was unlike anything i'd felt before. He creates worlds that make you feel them viscerally.
Devin Michael Roberts Ditto
"Even if you don't like Fincher"? That's a thing? Well alright.
John Milton Def a thing. I know people in the film industry, that don't like his work. Why? Because some feel that his movies are "cold & overly analytical". Tony kind of touches on that, when he talks about how all his shots being on a tripod, and even movement is very smooth perfect. He's right that it's very similar to Kubrick. If you watch the Shining, it also has a very "clean" and almost "analytical" feel to it. And for some, this makes the films lack "soul" and "energy". So I actually can understand why some don't personally enjoy his work. But I love Fincher. I'm not that picky when it comes to film/art, and I actually seek out diversity, and am open to various styles. Fincher is definitely a master at his craft, and his style would probably be horrible for most filmmakers. But because he's so good at what he does, he uses his style effectively. As a side note, I know actors/production that hate Fincher, because he shoots and re-shoots scenes too many times. I think it was Robert Duvall, but he got angry when Fincher asked him to do a scene 50 times. He pretty much said, if you don't think an actor can get the scene right in 10 shoots, then you have no business working with actors (or something to that effect). He basically accuses Fincher of being incompetent, and overly lacking in confidence.
🤣🤣
You just don’t say “I don’t like Finchers work” and get away with it calmly
Thank you so much. What great analisation about my favourite director.
I love your knowledge, you really help me understand the craft of filmmaking more! Bless your channel
Perfect way to whet the appetite for Gone Girl -- thank you Tony!
Was that ending cut and music meant to imply ... that Fincher is the Zodiac?
Haha!!
Just coming back here when the zodiac mystery was finally solved
What a fantastic video!! Thank you
You nailed everthing, even the ending song, amazing
