Tony Zhou’ video is genius, as are the nine principles of action comedy he’s identified:
- Start with a DISADVANTAGE
- Use the ENVIRONMENT
- Be CLEAR in your shots
- Action & Reaction in the SAME frame
- Do as many TAKES as necessary
- Let the audience feel the RHYTHM
- In editing, TWO good hits = ONE great hit
- PAIN is humanizing
- Earn your FINISH
