David Fincher's career in his own words | Filmmakers in Focus 

Welcome to Phase Four! This video took an insane amount of work, so I hope you all enjoy it! If you DO happen to enjoy it, I'd really appreciate if you'd give the video a like, or maybe share it on Reddit or Twitter! That would be awesome! Anyways, thanks so much for watching and have a great day

This video was incredible. The final montage alone feels like it must’ve taken months.

My only problem with this video is that it isn't an hour long. I was completely captivated through Se7en and then it became the concluding montage. I wanted you to continue through his entire career because it was so damn captivating how you edited it all together. Just wish you could complete a person's entire career. But I know this had to take you forever combing through all those interview blurbs. More like this please! Well done.

What a great montage to a great filmmaker. All hail David Fincher.

One of my favorites,genius...

i just love Zodiac and Social Network so much. all of his stuff is fantastic but those two are just near perfect

Really great montage editing at the end. Kudos.

That final montage was ecstatic! Fantastic editing!

I nearly missed a flight because of this video

That last montage of all of his films was god like. Thank you for this my man.

I know that Fincher receives much acclaim from film enthusiasts, but it frustrates the hell out of me that more people don’t know him. I think out of all the working directors right now he is a true auteur who has such a suave way of telling a story.

That In Motion soundtrack is the best way to start the video. Great Work.

The social network score in the background just fits so fucking perfect.

When Radar comes back, he comes back in style

ending was marvelous

This video is slick as hell. Excellent job weaving a narrative out of the interviews and finding dank footage to emphasize the narrative. There is also hella insight into the baddest of boys, David Fincher, very cool to know how he worked his way into the industry.

Excellent work as always! Awesome editing of the interviews, I know how tricky those can be to find someone else saying exactly what you need them to, but you did it marvelously! The editing was spectacular and really managed to compliment what was on screen! Great video and welcome back! Can't wait to see what you bring next!

This video moves so beautifully, awesome work! I love that its literally the Fincher's voice, telling his own story, great idea, exceptionally well executed!

Montage at the end, is one of the coolest things I've ever seen

This is genuinely really, really well made

As more and more video essays get made it’s nice to see one that makes them with such distinct style and care.

Man that montage at the end is fucking unreal, I love that song cover aswell.

What another great video, you captured David Fincher so perfectly. The cuts of footage from each of his film with dialogue being overlapped with music from each film overlapped with the immigrant song speak volumes about Fincher as a director. I don't know if you were trying to give an impression of sensory overload with the images and music overlapped but I think it was brilliant. Fincher's films are an overload but nothing at the same time, it's almost hypnotizing. That might sound pretentious but its the best way I can describe it. I find his films give a sense melancholy, they don't make you sad but it reflects a world with sadness in it that cant be avoided and his films don't end on happy notes so to speak, they end on life moments which I think why his films come across as so real, every time I watch a Fincher film can feel them and no other director has really achieved that for me at least. Social network truly resonates with me in a way I can't describe, as much of a good Biopic, it is better as a fiction story with its masterful soundtrack. The addition of Trent Raznor and Atticus Ross in his films become tenfold better, as they write music that fits in the worlds his creating so well. Their tracks come off as sterile, sci-fiesk and almost imitating white noise in a way. I can't wait for what they do with the Watchmen series. sorry for the mess of opinions. Great video, your best one yet. Definitely worth the wait

Bro, you just blew me away. From 8:28 onwards I was taken on a visual journey displaying his work in all the movies. The shots you pick and the interchanges and merges are insane. Tremendous work. Wish you could make a video showing how you came out with some of the interpretations.

Great vid, Daniel. Loved it.

That ending gave me chills and almost made me cry. Excellent Job.

Dude, this quite honestly isn’t just the best video essay you’ve made, but for sure one of the most interesting and innovative video essays I’ve seen. Outstanding work man, you’ve outdone yourself.

That outro tribute to Fincher gave me chills - so well edited and just plain awesome. More vids plz

This video was incredible. Please please make more, that final montage was awe-inspiring

This is one of your best videos so far

Yup, my friend this might be my new favourite channel. Props for the level of effort that goes into these videos. big love

Amazing episode mate! Please, keep up the great work!

I don't understand why people don't like Alien 3. This was a fresh take on an already established movie. The fact that he was brave enough to show that both Hicks and Newt didn't make the crash landing was a shocker, even though fans wanted the 'family reunion' to continue. The other interesting point was the grungy, abandoned prison planet that gave it a great setting for the film. Plus, I enjoyed that she was working off of british actors. I really enjoyed the movie, I don't care what other people think.

Just found your channel and watched the Superbad video and then this. I’m blown away. The montage at the end of this is incredible, and my only complaint is that I wish this was longer. Just subbed.

Summed up why he is my most admired filmmaker. I'm not a fan of some of his works, but he always got this delicate touch on each of them -- That's something I've always look up to.

i absolutely in love with this video, great editing pal

LOVE that final montage. Great video Daniel.

It's always a pleasure to discover channels like yours! Even more if we consider that Fincher is one of my favourite directors. Pretty interesting videos, keep em' up!

Great work. Especially the final montage was extraordinary.

Excellent work.

I was completely intoxicated with the editing and pace of this video, fantastic job man!

Great video as always, man! Really love this creative take on everything and you really did some amazing stuff with the editing here. Also just insightful to know about Fincher's background as a filmmaker. Welcome back!

great video as always💯💯

Loved this

The editing here is absolutely outstanding. The way sound is used is brilliant as well. Kudos. Please offer your services to aspiring filmmakers, if you don’t already. This was so good.

even though not the kind of content i was expecting, i support you trying new things, the editing you did is amazing!

Great video thank you. Praises to the editing, I love Fincher's work and the editing was pure eye candy.

Dude, I never like videos. I never comment. You are an amazing editor, and have an amazing eye and ability to enthrall. Please continue to grow and thanks for loving movies as much as you do! Good Luck!!

David Fincher is my favorite director.

My favorite director. Thank you so much. 🙌🏻

Subscribed 👍👍👍 This is one of the best videos I have ever seen

You are doing God's work

Ayyyyy you're back !

Oh man, a new video about David Fincher by Film Radar?? This is awesome

nice little animated details in this vid. good job

Impecable.

Wow. Another David Fincher video. Great. Thanks..

i fucking love the soundtrack for The Social Network, you playing it is seriously making me want to watch it again

Nice Tribute, it could easily play on the Oscars!!!

editing kicks ass

Such a beautiful video, Fincher is pretty good too.

One of the Best directors of the decade

One of my favourite all time directors

Who made this?!!! Brilliant work!

His video for Aerosmith’s Janie’s got a gun does an excellent job of showcasing his work & vision in its primordial stage.

And the visuals are boner inducing. Great work Radar, you are constantly improving video by video, my dude. Never stop making this. I'll try to patreon sometime in the future

Holy shit this is nice!

Really great work!!

I really wish he would make more movies. Haven't seen a movie of his that I didn't at least enjoy thoroughly. Zodiac is my favorite and Panic Room is very underrated.

For the love of god, PLEASE make videos about how you edit. PLEASE!

That 8:27 montage though...

This should be called "A Look into Fincher's Life Pre-Seven." It was really interesting and then . . .

Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack?

What’s the background music that plays during 2:55?

MEEEEEERCH!

🎬🎥🔥

As a screenwriter, im Trying to stay consistent in my filmmaking. I have so many older films im putting out and just biting the bullet on. Would love everyone's input.

Fincher is a genius!

My three favorite living movie directors are Scorsese, Fincher, and Tarantino.

Any intel on what Fincher's next project is?

Why did you include scenes from Nightcrawler when he had nothing to do with it?

When is David doing another movie!?

Music playing at the 2 minute mark?

Everyone : AT-ST Fincher : Chicken Loggers

Zodiac > Fight Club

fucking awesome. know i wanna go watch zodiac or social network (his best work)

How is this not copyright infringement?

Only a few other directors can compare to him, but for me, even Tarantino is not better than him. They have different structures and creative processes, but Fincher is a real magician and can do whatever you throw at him...drama, thriller, horror. Tarantino only makes his own kind of films...

7:30 That's (not so) funny, because James Cameron said he got shit from the crew at Pinewood too, but Ridley Scott they treated like a King. Some kind of bullying/prejudice going on there. Sorry you had to go through that David, I too have experienced gas-lighting and it is REALLY unpleasant and I'm English. Well... I was raised by television so I'm more American really

"this guy has no talent" i guess that shows how when people tell you to give up or that you're not good enough you have to show them what the fuck is up

Fincher-Renzor is as good as Nolan-Zimmer

Fight Club ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Spoiler alert! Hella major spoilers.

OVERRATED GARBAGE DIRECTOR
