    I loved Every Frame a Painting, a series of video essays by Taylor Ramos and Tony Zhou that they posted on YouTube. They published a postmortem about the series on Medium when they ended Every Frame a Painting seven years ago:

    The postmortem and the series itself received a fair amount of discussion on HN.
