I got a 45% retention on my last video and that infuriated me, so I turned it up a gear! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

If someone told me that this is an ad for the iPad and Apple Pencil, I'd believe them

This was amazing! Loved watching the process from start to finish.

Man, these videos are jam-packed with so much helpful information. I honestly can’t believe these are free - they’re truly a gem for all editors on this platform

7:20 I love this. This shows the power of video editing, and the biggest skill of a good video editor; storytelling. This really fascinates me!

Ahh another video! Another day of happiness! Keep it up man you’re amazing!

i love how you form ur content into something so seamless, watching like 10 minutes of ur stuff feels like fricking 2. its like anime but youtube. keep up the great stuff. watching ur content has gave me so much knowledge on editing and youtube. id really like to talk to you and hear it from ur prospective and ur opinions on some stuff.

Random question, for editing vlogs. Do you think having any music track under A-Roll/Talking moments takes away from the video? Should music only be used under B-Roll sequences?

@HillierSmith

2 жыл бұрын

An entire video about music is coming in the very near future... 😉 But the short answer is music needs to reflect the action of the video. In the first ten seconds of this video, for example, I have electronic, bright music playing. When I say "$1,000,000" the music cuts out to highlight it...then the beat drops and the tempo picks up to show that having a $1,000,000 budget is exciting and that your mind races with possibilities. Then the music cuts out again when I reveal that it's only a $500 budget...So in the first 30 seconds, we've had about 4 music changes all to reflect the action of the video...TLDR: music should "yes and" the story.

I don't know if its too late to answer this question but audio (not necessarily music) can make what you saw have that power and flow it to the next scene. Love this specially for the intros. Bring music in and out to highlight what you want to convey

Watching this on my editing break. The advert was INSANE and this whole video was executed perfectly, good job Hayden.

Video editing is definitely art! To be able to story tell is really what makes some of these youtubers so successful! I just found you and have watched almost all your videos! Thank you for breaking it down so well for all of us and excelling in your craft! Hoping to learn more from you!

I loved this video Hayden, thank you ! It was really inspiring and made me want to edit a commercial haha. And the editing of the video itself, not only your ad, is as always excellent, especially when you use it to emphasize comedic effect. Some simple zooming in and speed ramp to show your current card made me laugh haha. Well done as always.

Love seeing the Spike Jonze Homepod commercial in the intro!

This helps a lot. I'm still nearer a beginner trying to add more b-roll to my edits ... it helps a lot to see where I need to eventually try to get (enhancing the b-roll further with sound and visual effects). It's not that I didn't already know that - but seeing the difference helps drive the point home.

Loving the each bit... Grabbing the ideas from every second. Love this content. I've already Subscribed but from Now I'll watch this channel regularly.... Thanks buddy for this Golden piece of art... Love the line "Editing is an art".

You did an AMAZING job integrating the product plug into your script. You made your use of the product relevant to your video!! Brilliant.

You may have only spent $500 in “raw materials” but your expertise, skill, experience, talent as a storyteller and artist is what makes that video worth A LOT more. I mean, how do you charge the client for your “Be An Artist” idea and the design of the video? If it only took you an hour to come up with it, does that mean you only charge your $125 hourly rate? No way! Plus, you should charge clients based on the value of the results your work gets, not the time and materials that went into making it. You’re not a commodity, Hillier! You’re an artist who can help clients solve problems and achieve their goals. That’s worth so much more than $500. 😎🤑 Kinda wish this vid was about how you can charge $5k, $10k, $50k for a big time commercial but only spend $500 to do it. Seriously awesome work, though. Especially with those neon animations. 🙌🏻🤘🏻

Did Hayden forget to include his own time in the budget? I think that this just proves the point about what’s wrong with the whole Artists dilemma. Yes, everybody consumes art, but it’s usually the middlemen, the platforms - not the artists getting rewarded.

You always bring that value and inspiration Hayden! Fantastic 🤯

Brilliant man! Exceeded my expectations. I'm overwhelmed a bit too... haha

Brilliant editing makes a HUGE difference

I love that you have a very clear reason behind why you edit the way you do. Similar to architecture (not a plug I promise) in that we design buildings with an overall concept that drives all the decisions. You do the same thing with your editing and that's why it's soo good.

I just thought you were compiling random clips together. The brilliant part was when the shiny effects wrap around the artists and the kids at the end tied everything together perfectly! Indeed, that's story-fking-telling

Top job , love the delivery of your vids . They always make me laugh whilst delivering informative useful tolls for me to try
