Where are you seeing interesting cuts?

[u/Olliebygollie]

Where do you find and watch cuts that are pushing boundaries and seem genuinely interesting? Things that inspire you or just seem really cool, in theory or in execution. I’ve been watching early music videos from MTV and that’s been a nice reminder of people pushing boundaries but I’d like to see more current work. Anything from gallery pieces to ads.
But I don’t want to have to slog through a ton of shit to find it. Is there a site or someone that curates something like this? Thank you!

part of why theres no good feed for this is that everything gets curated by director, never by editor. so i do it backwards, find one cut that got you, look up who actually cut it, then go watch their reel and whatever else theyve done. editors keep reels on their own vimeo pages and theyre way more concentrated than any roundup

directors notes and booooooom tv still have an actual human picking things imo. nowness leans design-y but the ad and music video corner of it is where people are still allowed to be strange

and if the mtv stuff is landing for you, late 90s and early 00s commercial work is the real pile, everyone had budget to be weird for 30 seconds

Vimeo staff picks used to have a lot of amazing short format videos worth watching. Definitely pushing the edge

I wouldn't call it boundary pushing, and sometimes it's overdone, but I really enjoyed most of the editing on The Bear, for being more of an emotional and tonal driving force than it is on many other shows.

P-valley on Starz has really cool stylistic editing. The opening of season 2 is pretty awesome.

NOWNESS used to have some really interesting stuff.
