Description: Elle just launched on Patreon, so I've been watching a ton of her videos and feeling mesmerized by her storytelling and creativity. I wanted to see if I could get to the bottom of WHY she's so freaking special and what makes her such a compelling creator. I try to answer that question in this video. Elle's Patreon: patreon.com/ellemills And since people always ask, YES! I do all my own editing! Patreon doesn't have a team that makes videos like this for me -- I make em myself!! I used to work with an editor for a daily vlog I did years ago, but we stopped that project, and he's no longer at Patreon -- so it's just me! ----------------------------- Here are the TED talks I referenced: Andrew Stanton youtube.com/watch?v=KxDwieKpawg JJ Abrams youtube.com/watch?v=vpjVgF5JDq8 Here's the interview with Christopher Nolan youtube.com/watch?v=0CaDZamA2ok ----------------------------- Storytelling Books I Love: In the Blink of an Eye, by Walter Murch a.co/d/6OMn715 Story, by Robert McKee a.co/d/2sih4VS Moviemakers' Master Class a.co/d/0DGG0c1 On Directing Film, David Mamet a.co/d/aqM4I6C (I don't actually love David Mamet as a director, but this is nevertheless a good book for storytellers) ----------------------------- Also, if you want to just learn about filmmaking and storytelling in general, you can just binge nerdwriter videos like this one: youtube.com/watch?v=bfFgnJoLiQE The nerdwriter quote that I started this video with is from his video on "The Epidemic of Passable Movies:" youtube.com/watch?v=Ukk5TJL27pE ----------------------------- If you want to see next level storytelling, watch these movies, written by Charlie Kaufman: -Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -Being John Malkovich -Adaptation ----------------------------- Also, if you want to get familiar with my work as a creator, you can start with these videos: Pharell Mashup, Pomplamoose youtube.com/watch?v=i7X8ZnmLfM0 Daft Punk Skrillex Mashup, Conte youtube.com/watch?v=kXpn8thEGbE Putting on the Ritz youtube.com/watch?v=1fg3mcwUIc8 My cover of Thrift Shop, Conte youtube.com/watch?v=zF60E3J1dSM Cover of If I Ain't Got You, Scary Pockets youtube.com/watch?v=g_xcxu0TTvo
