Looking at you (Movie supercut)

TURN CAPTIONS ON TO SEE THE TITLE OF EACH FILM.
FULL LIST OF FILMS USED BELOW.

Edited by my husband Brutzelpretzel. Song: "Can't take my eyes off you", performed by Manic Street Preachers and also by Muse.

This is a tribute to the wink of complicity from the filmmakers to the audience when they make actors look straight into the camera. It is not a tribute to scenes where the fourth wall is broken (when a character addresses the audience directly), some clips in the video belong to that category but most of them don't cause it is not what we wanted to show.

There are 150 different clips (from 148 films) in this video, but at first we had selected more than 200 films. We left out dozens of scenes on purpose, cause we didn't want a 15 minutes montage. For example, we decided not to include the "found footage" genre, cause everyone looks at the camera in this type of movies (like "Cloverfield"). And also musical numbers, where it's very common that the actors look at the camera while singing. And, obviously, there are many more films missing cause we didn't know them. Apologies in advance for every film we discarded, forgot or missed. For example, we really regret forgetting about Kurt Russell in "Death Proof" and Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins".

Hey there! I did a post on this on Tumblr because it just needed to be seen by more people! You are REALLY an inspiration for film lovers! This just makes my day! I hope you wouldn't mind about the post! charles-dances .tumblr .com /post /51161605195/looking-at-you-a-­movie-supercut-watch-from

[ClaraDarko2]

Of course I don't mind, thanks for everything!

[Robert Laney]

I guess a better question is how do you compile the clips together?

[ClaraDarko2]

Well, first you make a list, adding every title you remember that can fit the concept. And then you extract the clips from each film (dvd) with a program called MPEG Streamclip.

[Robert Laney]

This along with the rain montage are truly amazing videos. How long did they take you to make and where can you learn to edit to make montages like those?

[ClaraDarko2]

Thanks a lot, glad you like them.

With montages like this, compiling is what takes a lot of time (days), the editing itself can be finished in a few hours.

And about the learning... We didn't take classes or read any manuals, hehe, we do this by instinct.

Great ending
