Do we live in a day of lazy filmmaking? Profits outweigh creativity and some filmmaking is simply replaced with editing improv<\/strong>. Although the common audience may not be able to see the difference, as filmmakers it is overwhelmingly obvious when a director has decided to cut corners. But Edgar Wright<\/strong> has repeatedly shown his appreciation for creative filmmaking<\/strong>. Specifically, Edgar Wright<\/a> shows us that filmmaking is just as important to creating comedy<\/strong> as the words the actors are saying.<\/p>\n

Tony Zhou<\/a> has created an awesome video that illustrates this point. Very similar to the documentary essay Everything is a Remix<\/a>, Zhou\u2019s How to Do Visual Comedy<\/a>\u00a0explains the difference between mainstream comedy and comedy that uses every aspect of filmmaking.<\/p>\n
