In an effort to combat the number of non-guitar/music related threads, I thought I'd start a thread about studio documentaries.
There is no other genre of TV that I love more than studio documentaries. I LOVE to see music being created and captured. I've sometimes become a fan of a band because I watched a documentary. For example, I had never listened to a single Mastodon song until one day, the YouTube algorithm fed me the Hushed and Grim studio doc. I fell in love with the band from watching it and they are now in regular rotation. It's often such a great way to get to know a band fairly quickly. You get to know the people behind the music which can strengthen your bond to their music.
The problem:
They are generally tough to find, especially the lesser known artists. They typically don't have the words "studio" or "documentary" in the video titles. Often they are titled "the making of..." which is only useful if you know the name of the album you're looking for.
I'd love to be able to discover new bands by watching studio documentaries, but you can't exactly search for a band's studio documentary when you don't know of the band's existence yet. sometimes you get lucky and just stumble upon them.
Goal:
Post links to studio documentaries that you've really enjoyed in this thread so that others can discover new bands. hell, if you have videos of you're own music being written/recorded, share it here.

I'll start us off with the documentary that I mentioned already, which is excellent IMO
