Cinemastix turned two years old this month (which is crazy). To commemorate, and reflect a bit, I've compiled 17 videos essays on filmmaking from my first year and completely remastered them, visually, with extremely high quality source footage. Something that really would not have been possible, or even conceivable, when I was first getting started. I'm hoping this will give a chance to those who have stumbled upon me in the past year or so to see them for the first time, or for those who've been here longer to revisit them in a higher format.

There are a few omissions, for a variety of reasons. Claims being one. Regional blocks being another. But weirdly enough, a lack of high quality media even existing yet being yet another--more on that another day. And then there's one or two that are particularly special to me that I want to revisit properly and more completely in the future. In any case, I'm pretty proud of a lot of what's here, and it's weird looking back and seeing how much my process and projects have changed over even a short period of time. So.. I hope you'll enjoy them for what they are. Even if, in some cases, I hadn't quite gotten my voiceover recording situation figured out yet...

I've broken the compilation up into chapters based on topic rather than subject to help contextualize them a bit (hopefully they work, I've never used chapter before). They should be as follows:

0:00 Overture (Star Wars)
5:31 Editing
8:59 Casting
25:04 Performances
43:46 Color Theory
53:01 Cinematography
1:03:11 Sound Design
1:21:27 Directing
1:41:01 Screenwriting
2:06:34 Postlude (Star Wars)
