What's wrong with plain old writing? No reason to use any of the work at all imo. Video editing takes an insane amount of time in my experience.

Different mediums touch people in different ways. It was a labor of love to produce the work no doubt.

Well maybe, but I don't see why that gives the author the right to use someone else's work.

AFAIK transcribing the movie could also be copyright infringement. You're effectively reproducing a portion of their work either way -- one in text form, the other in video form. Fortunately for critics, both are widely held to be fair use if done purely for the purpose of commentary and not done excessively.

Quote and use screengrabs or short clips sure. 100% of your 'commentary' is composed of the original material, questionable imo.
