Bro I wasn't expecting a full fledged movie trailer 💀
Beautiful, as always 🤍
Hey there I think you are another Illinois aquatic creator. I go to the greenwater aquarium swaps and a bunch of the other swaps near Chicago. I'm on a journey of improving my editing. ✌️ happy thanksgiving
One of the most seamless videos of yours to watch.
“I stopped listening to my mind and started listening to the one thing no one else had access to. My heart.”
Thank you for inspiring creators of all sizes.
Did you try his course?
This is one of the greatest TH-cam videos I've ever watched. The several small moments where the emotion in your voice comes out made me pause the video to take in the feeling. That feeling where you love something so much you start to tear up. I felt that. I can't wait for your influence to make those moments more common place for TH-cam.
Have you tried his editing bootcamp?
@@ChrisForti I've gotten about half way through it. I really enjoy it so far.
💯 SO good.
I have to sign up for the boot camp!
I wanna watch this video in theatres
😂😂🎉🎉
I agree
Let’s rent one
alright when and where @@Mendawasey
As a creator I have to adhere to formulas but I love breaking past that and trying something new. This is a great message for everyone 👌🏻.
How to find this formula, I am missing the basics of how to be different and add creativity
As an editor myself. This hits me. Bringing the humanity and creative expression back into my videos has been such a prominent thing. Anyone can learn to cut footage and add cool effects from a preset pack. But it's what you do with the footage, it's how you orient it that makes the big differences. I think about a lot of these points and themes and wonder about my editing choices. but to have it said by you in this video is amazing to hear. You're an asset to this community man
Amazing, if Hayden had this much passion to do literally anything in the world, he would be always be the best.
who tf is Hayden?
Read the channel name buddy

@@keepyoursins yes google it
How can a video on editing end up being so darn entertaining?
Everyone knows how good you are - but I’m going to say it anyways - you’re really good.
Beyond that - you’re inspirational and provide a goal to strive towards. My editing and content is a long ways from being a fraction of a part of a segment of this quality, but I take at least one thing from each of your videos - then come back for another.
So - basically- thank you!
I wanna watch this video in a movie theater 😭💜
99 Originals will forever be my favourite video ever.
There’s plenty of em “shorts”
Hayden I ADORE your content. You helped me reach my first 50,000 subscribes in just 3 videos and I just can't be more grateful. Thank you for making this content and please never stop because you always teach something new!
Congrats on 50k! Halfway to the silver play button. Proud of you! 💯
I love how you started speaking slower, to allow us to feel your words and images and taking them all in. As an ex filmmaker and now biz coach, I recognize the genius in you. Storytelling is the most powerful thing every brand should master. Thank you.
This wasn’t just a video… it was an experience. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Do you want to learn more about editing from his editing course?
I can say with absolute certainty, that this video is a masterpiece, Hillier has really surpassed the common editor, who only edits, cuts, pastes and adds transitions, he has surpassed the sophisticated editor that edits adds visual effects, he has even surpassed himself, since he discovered the most important thing about publishing and whatever profession you do, no matter what it is, the important thing is to do it from the heart. Thnx Hillier
Forever the TH-cam edit GOAT. Look forward to the day we see you on the big screen, Hayden
The video has 11 minutes but after i watched it, i feel like i watched a full movie. That was a journey Man. You are so good and you know it. Congrats 👑
I hope you earn millions from this course, because that was a masterpiece in the very thing you were teaching. I laugh every time I watch a ‘how to get views on TH-cam’ tutorial with 15k views, or ‘how to tell better stories’ tutorial which doesn’t take me anywhere. This however was the opposite, absolutely nailed the execution of very things you taught the viewer throughout.
I know Logan is still alive, but damn if it didn’t feel like he was Old Yeller by the end and you were forced to take him out back. Excellent job with the video, can’t wait for the 22nd to learn more.
I was going to make a joke about how the intro is too slow based for retention but honestly this video is to incredible to joke about. What you are saying in this video is what most creators/editors need to learn and understand. I've made films in the past and it honestly breaks my heart now seeing creators try to find a formula for storytelling, not for the sake of telling meaningful stories that they need or want to say but just to optimise for an AI algorithm.
I'm really excited to see what you have to say and teach in Creator Now.
Hey, after paying those annual 349 dollars, how much you have to pay for his course?
@@Videoeditnewbie So once you’ve paid for membership of CreatorNow you have access to the whole year. So you’ll be able to see Hayden’s course once he releases it.
You also have access to the whole other library of classes been taught by other creators eg. Ryan Trahan, Yes Theory etc.
There’s daily lessons which I myself edit for at creator now where it’s bite sized information chunks from different classes etc.
The fact that you applied all the techniques by showing us not just telling made this so surreal. Insane work
Building tension and resolving it. It’s art. Takes feel. It comes from your own empathy and experiences as a human that allow you to emotionally relate to others through shared perception. In an age of processing, let things breathe. The loud moments are loudest when they are preceded by silence.
I have watched hundreds of “how to” videos in the last couple of weeks. This is the ONLY one that truly inspired me. Thank you for that 💖💫
Wishing you the best Hayden and thanks for letting me a part of this!
You make me want to be a better editor. I can't thank you enough for that. Amazing video!!
The best part is this gives me a justification for not learning how to do any vfx or technical wizardry. I can barely add text to the screen, but I'll call it artistic choice!
I get the idea but to get to his lvl its just like the greatest lusician. You need to learn all thz rume and the working to abandon what you want and then create and décide your own style.... but without solid foundation one cant build the circle to break out of
@@ikasuki1 agree broo
You inspire me to make better videos every time I watch your videos! I know it's SO obvious but until I watched you I didn't realise truly HOW important music can be. for example:
A video I made breaking down the mountain K2, I used a different song for each different aspect, aka tense music for 'the climb', intrigue music for 'setting the scene', optimistic music for 'its getting better' rather than one long background track which a lot of people do, and I honestly think thats the difference between it getting 5k views and 620k (currently).
So, THANK YOU.
1. Learn the "language" or rules of your art, like how it's usually done.
2. Make these rules second nature, so you can focus more on expressing your feelings through your art.
such a refreshing take on what video editing should be about, i really hope more & more editors adopt this philosophy
This is the best ad I've seen in my entire life.
that intro is nuts. the goat of editing :)
Lol the start of the video is like a cult leader 😂😂😂 you're something else. You made my day. Ok, back to actually watching the video... ok after watching the video, I am like, you took me somewhere, I just got back here, back to reality.. What did you do? Where dið you take me? Woweeee!
Rare to see authentic artists. This guy is so genuine. 🔥 ❤
LMAO. Dude you went above and beyond with the intro on this one. The "Retention shot" is absolute gold.
The only commercial I ever chose to watch, well done!
The most unexpected entertaining first 30 seconds I’ve seen in awhile. So impressive
good job sonny Jim , very good advice.
Damn I never thought I would get emotional watching a video about editing. Proves you're a genius
This is the best sales pitch ever. Because it brings a ton of value by itself.
as an editor for a TH-camr with over a million subs - this information is insanely valuable.
"Going bigger should be a last resort"
I needed that
I love the music you put while speaking. Feels like a documentary
Here because of the Colin & Samir Newsletter - I really enjoyed this video.
Some bits made me laugh out loud!
Your point about "having your best edits done from the heart" is simply spot on. Your videos truly become your own when you can put your own creative process and soul behind it.
It seems to be really easy to get in the cycle of appeasing the algorithm, but that is just something were burn-out tends to lie and wait for many people. True uniqueness and art comes from within.
The Jurassic Park Effect is essentially adding random words into your school essay.
150k views does not do the video justice, what a beautiful video, you are a fantastic human being!
This was fantastic
conversational editing reminds me of what the writers of south park talked about. between the beat of the story; replacing "and then" with "therefore, but" to promote a sense of causation and cohesion
dude i found your channel like 12 hours ago... never heard of your story... but your editing really tells the full story damn good. I feel what u mean with the editing style. Even if i never went to any kind of school for film making or editing, im doing my editing more and more with the heart... great journey to come i guess 😁have a good day mate i will follow your story from now on ❤ from germany
this is exactly what I've been thinking about for some time now. less montage is sometimes better
Editing is such an art to learn
its insane how not many people have seen this video. this is such a masterpiece and was created with little to no flaws. incredible
I should watch this video once in a while to remind myself why I started this thing in the first place. To be an artist. 😢 Damn dude. Thanks. You brought tears to my heart.
Underrated. 👐
Truly the most amazing channel for Editing and TH-cam/New Media storytelling in general! Thanks for the dedication and love you put into all of this
I work in the creative industry. I used to have this boss who compared creative work to the band The White Stripes. He said they were so good because they were forced to work with the most stripped down, simple tools: two people, one bass, one drum set. They made immortal music without a massive production crew, complex mixing, auto tune, an orchestra, backup dancers, etc. The box they were put in was, ironically, the key to their creativity.
The lesson was: all the bells and whistles in the world won't do anything for you unless you can tell a good story, and tell it with your heart.
NO WAY
My favorite video yet, this is amazing
Love you hayden
Man didn't think I was going to cry when I clicked on this video. Great job.
Number 3 must be the most precious advice I've heard in youtube. The best
the algorithm simply gives people the videos that people respond to. Only a percentage of people want to see an emotional story.
Brilliant🔥 If you see a viewing spike around @3:52 ... I particularly enjoyed this cutaway😁👏
I discovered this Channel over two years ago and am amazed at the progress you make. This is the editing style that propels what's always been the heart of TH-cam. Not just the company or the algorithm, but the creators passion for filming.
Did you try his course?
I had to watch this video twice because it is just that good. The storytelling in this video alone is unreal. Literal chills and moments that encourage me as the viewer to think outside the box and find my inner spark. Keep it up, I can't wait to see what's next :]
Do you want to try his editing course?
i can’t express how pumped i am every time Hayden uploads a video - because he sure takes his time😂 am sure it’s banger like the rest of them!
Dang, “saying goodbye with editing” I’m not crying, you’re crying… editing with your HEART. UGHHHH SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how much your humour comes through in your editing - also great vid with great points, thank you. I'm trying to edit as little as possible to rebel against the overstimulation. Time will tell if that actually helps me!
Insane video Hayden. Love when you post. You are one of my favorites to learn from by FAR!
This was a storytelling. I enjoyed this one, as a whole, not just for what you say or what you show, but for what it is: a piece.... of Art.
God damn. It's hard to find the words for it, but this was, to put it lightly, fan-freaking-tastic. It pulls at the heart strings at just the right moments. It provides time for the viewer to allow everything to sink in prior to moving onto the next piece while not losing any momentum. It proves its own points throughout, tells a story that hooks you, and finishes with wanting more; all from an informative speech.
It's purely impeccable; this is art.
This video made me cry! You're truly talented and I'm so grateful for you!!!
I wish all educational videos were as much of an emotional journey as this. Beautiful pacing, visuals & sound design all making me more present with the lessons you're teaching. Meta editing proving the points you're making. I feel satisfied & want more. Very excited to go through your whole course Hayden.
Much love ❤
Did you try his course?
So much passion, it's mesmerizing. Thank you.
This video was MOVING me and was an EXPERINCE! Holy moly... so good.
Yoooo the Mona Lisa piece as a representation of editing is beautiful!!!!
This is the next level, to see past the algorithm and to speak from the heart. What made this video so special is the genuine connection the audience were able to make with Smith. He made me forget I was watching in TH-cam, that’s pure artistry! 😢❤truly inspiring!
I'm cutting onions while watching this..
That was absolutely beautiful.
This is the best advertisement for a course that we've ever seen.
What I want to learn with editing is being patient. I just often feel so overwhelmed with all the work that lies infront of me and I just wish there would be a shortcut to the creative part. But looking at all the footage, organizing it etc just takes soo much time
Truly enjoyed this. My favorite edits are ones I cared most about, my brother and making memories helping him capture his feats. Thanks for a great grounding video.
This is the only person who motivates me enough to continue my passion of youtube after I hit countless roadblocks when I try to edit and come up with ideas for interesting editing content. So stoked for the classes coming up and 100% intend to learn as much as possible, thank you Hayden!
Do you want to learn from him?
This made me so emotional thinking about my past work that I’m thankful for and had to say goodbye to. This was beautiful.
great vid, hyped for the course
This. Intro. Is. SOOOO... freaking good.
I watched it like, 4 times in a row
I am beyond excited for this course. I feel like this could be the spark of a huge turning point for many of the up and coming creators on this platform. Thanks Hayden
Do you want to join his bootcamp?
Great video, man. Loving that you're letting your videos breathe more, filming and editing with emotion in mind and shifting to being an artist again. I'm on a similar path at the moment, too. Really looking forward to taking this course at some point.
Did you join his bootcamp?
@@ChrisForti yes, but I’m only like a week in. From the little I’ve watched so far, it’s awesome and I’m taking some serious notes
This is ridiculously and stupidly inspirational.
As an artist (painter) that’s my biggest flaw. I’ve always been too afraid to draw from the heart.
I’m slowly coming out of that shell.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Complex simplicity, Loud Silence, and put theory in the back seat.
Wow. This is going to help so much.
i got chills when you said that last part.
Hayden should go by Hayden The Magician because the way he tries to make sure the viewer understands every step of the way is CRAZY🤯
THIS IS INSANE!!! By far your best video yet Hayden. I love watching your videos so much! Don't ever stop.
This was truly inspiring Hillier. I really can resonate with your journey and thank you so much for constantly showing us a bit of what goes into your creative mind.
Spot on. Hitchock did it so well with a montage...so powerful.
No flash, no pop - just substance.
99 Originals is honestly the best thing Logan Paul has ever put out! And it's amazing to know you were the editor of that masterpiece. 🙌🏼
The final part of video is just soul touching ❤
My vlogs are my art. I do what feels good, and I’m learning as I go. I don’t have tons of followers but the ones I do have binge the whole channel. My point is if this was anything other than a passion project I would’ve quit already. My love of the art is why I’ll do this until I die.
Take everything you know and then forget it! Great advise for any type of art
this is the reason narrative film editing will be my one true love! (EMOTION) i love consuming youtube content but at the end of the day films is what makes us feel things after watching it only a select few youtube videos are able to do that.
Wow! This is what every editor needs to learn❤
omg this is awsomeeee. You're master of storytelling. The way you communication by video is so motivated, inspiring and it's like you are speaking from your heart. That's true talent or i'd say hard work pays off.
