Hello! My name is Jacobi. I made Eyecandy. I'm appreciating seeing suggestions. Is there anything you want me to try on the website? Anything I could improve?
e.g. camera through keyhole/window/mirror.

There's one. technique I've been wondering about for a while but don't see on the page. Say there's one or two people who are the primary focus, and they stay in focus, but the background shifts so it comes closer even though the primary character(s) don't move. Not sure what it's called, would love to know.
Sounds like you're talking about a dolly zoom?
I'm saddened that in the 4th wall examples they didn't add Leslie Nielsen from Naked Gun walking around the prop door. I thought that was the classic example. For reference - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siE_182RwpA
That's from police squad, the one in the naked gun was done slightly better (different camera angle) but I cannot find a short of that on youtube.

The only thing I might suggest is adding some tagging for additional ways of rummaging. I love your existing approach to categories and I think you should keep them primary. But it would be great to browse by, say, director. E.g., I have enough of Edgar Wright's movies in my head that I'd love to see what clips you have from him and whether it's worth submitting more. I happened to find one here: https://eycndy.com/fourth-wall

It's such a delight. It is overwhelming and in the best possible way. The only thing I might suggest is adding some tagging for additional ways of rummaging.

Love this site, how long did it take to build? Would be cool to see clips of behind the scenes showing camera placement and set/crew
Love that idea. I'm starting to roll out pages dedicated to each shot (when you click on it) that go into detail about it. The crew, the story, and eventually BTS and 'how to's' on how to make it. https://eycndy.com/fixed-object-schoolboy-dope-dealer
This isn’t a criticism, but the examples are mostly from very recent films. As a casual fan, I’d be curious to learn about some of the seminal uses of each technique as well.
