If you are a moving-pictures actor and haven't watched the short video essays of filmmaker and editor Tony Zhou (@tonyszhou), you've slighted your education.
The series is called "Every Frame a Painting." Check it out. It is brilliant.
The bulk of Zhou's focus is on the other side of the camera ... but since flimmakers wouldn't have anything to work with without you there in front of the unblinking eye, you can pull a lot of his observations out and put them in your tool kit.
Then there are the times when Zhou just dumps it in front of you, as in this love letter to Robin Williams.
There's also stuff in there for directors who want performances that are true collaborations. So, pay attention, people.
