Amazing Effects in Classic Films - How Did They Pull It Off? | Part 15

"Amazing Effects in Classic Films - How Did They Pull It Off? | Part 15" is the video doing most of the work on Film Riot right now. It is the fifteenth installment of a series that picks apart how filmmakers of earlier decades pulled off shots long before computers could do it for them, and at 34 days old it is still drawing more each day than anything else on the channel.

Film Riot, Ryan Connolly's long-running filmmaking channel, posted nothing new this week. Behind Part 15 sits an older explainer, "What's the Point of Shooting Anamorphic?", nearly three months old and still finding people curious about those wide, oval-flared lenses. Part 14 trails further back, a reminder that each new chapter of the series tends to take over from the last.

Without a fresh upload, daily views ran a little softer than usual, and the subscriber count held where it was. That is a mild dip rather than a slump, and much of the group had a slower stretch too: Howard Lee, naztazia and Pidgin Doll were all well below their usual pace. Among similar channels, Film Riot sits in the middle by size, level with StudioBinder.
