Digital Spaghetti
Hosted by Digital Spaghetti
A video series that deconstructs the filmmaking process of top online creators, often through shot-by-shot analysis and guest-hosted interviews.
This is a show for filmmakers by filmmakers, moving beyond gear talk to focus on the 'why' behind creative decisions. It uses a flexible format—sometimes a host interviews a guest over a screen share of their work, other times a creator walks through their own shots solo—to deconstruct the art of visual storytelling for an online audience.
“Its defining feature is the screen-share breakdown, where hosts and guests analyze footage shot-by-shot, providing a granular, workshop-like analysis rarely seen in creator interviews.”

- 03we need to talk
This episode introduces the channel's recurring thematic focus on the word 'cinematic' and launches a miniseries and film festival, defining the channel's community-building ethos.
What you'll be asked on this show
When interviews occur, the host (e.g., Adrian Per) opens by establishing the guest's background before diving into a live screen-share of their work. The interview is structured as a collaborative breakdown, with the host pausing the video to ask hyper-specific questions about craft ("What lens did you use?," "Why did you choose to step into focus?"). Probing happens through admiration and curiosity about specific choices, rather than confrontational pushback. There isn't a signature closer, but the conversation is built around deconstructing a central theme, such as the meaning of "cinematic."
The format varies. Core episodes are long-form interviews using screen-sharing to analyze a guest's work in real-time. Other formats include solo creator-led "Shot by Shot" breakdowns and thematic video essays guest-hosted by creators like Adrian Per. The channel is heavily integrated with its Patreon community, which it promotes for access to full episodes and events.
