My man, you still got it. I normally don't sit through 11 minutes of video without either leaving, fast forwarding in some way, or play in 2x speed. You managed to actually get me to sit through the whole video. :DD
What can't I say "known" properly! PS the thing I came up with 18 months ago that I finally got to use, is at the end. Realised I left you guys hanging with what that might be. The very end, like literally the last few words. PS 👇🏼 LIFE UPDATE March 2023 Liv and I decided to move on in different directions. (This is why Im now on Bumble/joking about it) We never fell out, we just wanted different things with life so we just decided to move on. I still help her with her business, pester her about her landing pages and try to get her posting more videos (rich coming from me) and we stay in touch and are both very happy. (I think some of you thought we were married. We weren't.) We got each other though covid, helped each other grow our businesses and had a really fun 3 years together. Helping her grow her channel and business is the proudest achievement of my life. PS If you're looking for a man who likes growing TH-cam channels, leave your applications below 😂
Haha I just came to comments to say I bet it was you riding the scooter! I just moved back to the UK from 8 years Qatar- and I think my payments on those scooters has contributed to Qatars wealth creation 💥
It's refreshing to hear someone talk about their digital nomad lifestyle and a) not try to sell it you and b) actually be successful. Your ending is insane.
Considering this took you way less time, I think its the best engaging video I've seen from your channel so far. The story, tempo, reengagement and twist at the end was brilliant.
it's so funny, because around the time you mentioned comments people make about your editing being too fast, I was thinking it in my head. But the truth is, it's not too fast for YOU, it's too fast for ME. I'm a pretty laid-back kinda guy, so even though I tried that style it didn't feel authentic to who I am. It was my own brother who pointed it out. Since then I've stopped sitting there meticulously cutting out every natural pause in my speaking. That alone has saved me a lot of time in the editing booth. And in my case NOBODY was complaining or even mentioning anything about the way I speak in my videos- other than to tell me it's relatable and laid-back. The things we obsess over, man. I'm learning.
I’m dyslexic so for me is very difficult to write scripts, actually impossible. I’m an artist and just create and must of the time I don’t know what I’m doing but the result matters in the end. You’re amazing and I love ❤️ your videos 🥰
Your editing is never too fast! It's PERFECT: before and now. I love your comedy and sense of natural humor. And your tips are SO GOOD! Yes, there is prana (consciousness) in the sunlight. We all need to write in the Sun LOL. It's the way to channel our best authentic material! Love you, Ed! 😎🌞🤍
You know, I clicked on this video not because you had a good thumbnail or a title. But because I trust you as a content creator. I KNOW that you make good videos. I thought this info might be valuable to you 🤭
Man, I simply love you. I have a super small channel, no idea if it's ever gonna grow but watching you it's always so entertaining that you make me feel positive about even just trying. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for your edu-tainment videos... enter- national... whatever words comes out from educational+entertainment. Amazing job 🎉
That great! I love that I motivate you. We all have days where it feels tough, even when you've grown a channel, so Ill do my best to keep you motivated :)
The 80/20 rule is also known as the Pareto Principle. It's a fascinating subject when you delve into it and applies to so many unexpected things (e.g. 80% of land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population). Once understood and used properly, it can really turn around your productivity levels - not just for making TH-cam videos but for life in general.
I knew it was the video I was watching... but wait... how did you film the bits of you writing the script before you knew that was going to be in the video!! 👀
Wow. This video was one of the most useful videos I have watched on TH-cam content creation. I have had a very stuck day today and wrote a script I was not happy with and wasn't very productive, I had done a first take and just felt that the script sucked (I am an extremely new TH-camr so everything I do still sucks but I am having fun learning). I watched this video, set a timer for 1 hour (to revise the script)... finished that in about 30 min. Since I still had 30 min left decided to record 2 takes with the rest of the hour + 15 additional minutes but since i did not intend to fit any takes into that time window I figured why not. Anyhow, I had tried my own way of setting time limits but none were specific enough (it was more like get another video done by tomorrow). When I tried something more specific, like get my script revised in 1 hour, it really helped! A lot! Especially when I applied the 'sense of urgency' to my script because I realized it was lacking that which made it quit boring. Anyhow, thank you so much for making this video and it really did help. I am still very much in the super early stages of TH-cam, and more particularly, scripting and talking in front of a camera.
@@ModernCavemanLukas Probably only cus it felt like a stark difference ☺️. I think it stuck out to me because when I used to watch his videos, there were always parts I had to pause and rewatch… because the combo of video speed, bells/whistles and his accent made it so I couldn’t understand the message. I feel like communicating is like breathing… if you breathe too fast, you’ll pass out… and if you breathe too slow, you disconnect from what’s around you. Odd analogy 🤣 but breathing between sentences is good pacing in my opinion… I am a slow living kind of gal though. I need time to digest each thought before I get the next one.
Can I like this video twice? I feel like you earned a like at least 3 times here. When you told us repeatedly to like, when your editing was just super engaging, and when you FOOLED us all by showing us this was the video in question all along? Wow. Like
Honestly, I do not think you lost your touch, I actually like this one better than the previous ones. It has more personality storytelling wise I guess? When some previous ones seemed somewhat preachy. So good on you!
Totally a Christopher Nolan ending (which is ironic since he is best known for his writing!) is the top still spinning!!! Great job!!!!!! There are two timelines in the video. The one where you are writing, and the video you shot. So good!!!!!
I've watched the whole video on x0.75 only to realize by the end that I'm not alone in thinking that the editing is just too fast. I wouldn't disregard those commenters as these are the people who are really trying to understand what you are saying.
I knew it!!!!! This video was so great! Just what I needed today to let loose and remember to trust my instinct. Also a great reminder of both Parkinson’s law and the 80/20 principle. Very entertaining and I appreciate you!
I’d also like to add- I don’t normally share long format content like this- but damn this is share worthy. You can tell you hit a flow and didn’t let yourself get bogged down by critical thought. 👏🏼
Love the video Ed it gave me a ton of new ideas and inspiration, so thank you for this. I can see you guys are getting a ton of rain right now, so take good care of yourselves down there.
So Impactful😭😢 I get stuck a lot with everything mentioned here. Watching over and over again-genius vid, needed this and got it in such a cool packaging-top to bottom- speechless 😂 I swear I write better than I comment
I genuinely recommend your channel to every person who’s asked me how to start a YT channel. This is one of the few channels that provide tangible pieces of advice that can help creators succeed, over the fluff and generalities many other TH-camrs give. Excited your back Ed!
This is solid info Thanks . its just what i needed. I have been out loud telling my self the last few weeks to focus on C work, and increase production... then improve to B work with the same level of productivity.
The twist at the end was kind of obvious from the beggining eheheh. Fun fact, I've been uploading on my main TH-cam channel for over 15 years and it has with millions of views with videos I put a great deal of effort into. Yet, my most viewed video is the only upload on another random channel of mine I never log into that I spent 15 minutes on, uploaded a couple of years ago and completely forgot about. Only found out it blew up massively (has over a million views) because it got recommended to me when I was signed out of all accounts lol.
I haven't even seen the video yet, and I know it's going to be great! These days, I've been wondering what's been happening with you because I haven't seen you for a while. :D Thank you for this great video!
Great video Ed. Good updates on your personal life as well….😳 I think your uploads are perfectly timed. I watch on 1.5x speed as it MAKES me concentrate on the content. Best take from this particular video IMHO? That the extra 20% isn’t worth the effort ( same as fitness-you get to an excellent high 80% level through very hard work? But putting in the same amount of work for that extra 20% isn’t justifiable …) Welcome back -
1 - set timer for work 2 - get your comfortable place for the productivity 3 - take a brack if you feel blockade in thoughts and go walk and come back and complete it 4- redraft script for - more concise , entertaining, interesting , easy to understand 5- don't judge the videos on the basis of few peoples comments , hit and try model will work well hear 6 - scripting makes videos way better 7- 20 % work produces 80 % results , get your 20 % done no friction ideas getes good videos but that ideas comes from experience
Ed, I tried the fast edit concept on a few videos and I had to slow it down in my case. People hated it but in large numbers. I had to stop scripting too because I’m just robotic when I’m reading from anything. I need just flow. This is why sometimes it takes me weeks to come up with a video. When I record I always record about 1 hour for one video. In editing I have to bring this down to around 10 minutes. Then find a cadence. Set the sound up. Fix the visuals. All so at the end I’m never happen enough and scrap the video all together. I’ll repeat this about 4 times before finally coming up with an edit of the video I think is good enough. Upload it. Slap on the custom thumbnail and title and for the next week or so just work on fine tuning and A/b testing. Nearly a month to get everything the way I believe represents the video best just to watch it struggle to around 60 views and stop. I figured it out though. My mine issue is the curse of the freaking retention percentage. For 4 years now. I’ve kept my mind completely opened to experimenting. Trying something new all the time and still do till today. I never stop. But when video after video after freaking video the retention trend won’t budge that’s when I’m either throwing my laptop out the window or taking a 3 month break. I mean there is no failure there. Nothing broken to fix. Because on every video I’m always fixing and improving things. Always trying something new. Yet I’m shaking the monitor every time I open the analytics and take a look at the retention to see the same trend again. So frustrating. To say myself from losing more hair I just accepted the trend as normal. And accepted that my videos will fail because of the low retention as normal. At least this way I can keep creating worry free. And not care one bit about the retention graph and let it sort itself out.
At least you try stuff. I tried my faster editing for 12 videos, I got no traction at all until one popped and then they all came with it. It can take a long time to get good at something, personally the script and teleprompter is key for me, I cut that part out the script and the importance of writing and sticking with it for a very long time too, maybe give it another crack
@@FilmBooth Thanks Ed! It’s not that I gave up as I’m still making videos. It’s just that I had to do something for my sanity. I was feeling like I was going insane and losing it giving everything a shot and not really seeing the retention graphs change. Now mind you i did have 2 videos that had a bit of success in my channel and together those two videos have kind of helped the channel out. But even the successful videos the retention was still low. What I mean for example is people jumping ship around the 3 minute mark in a 3 minute video. Or on the shorter videos people jumping on a minute or less out of 5 minutes. And no matter what I do I can’t change that. I can almost say either way a high level of certainty for example that if i uploaded a video right now. By the end of the day it would be the same thing as the other videos between 15 and 30% retention only. I’m going to keep trying through. Hopefully one day I can tell you about the video that changed my whole channel around! 👍
My man just discovered timeboxing. ;) Agile stuff like this has been around for over 20 years, it's about time more people learned it's power. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Was this a deliberate curiosity hack? I paused right at the beginning just to visit the comments and see what had happened to you two?
I so much love the closing... "🎉You just did "😂
yeah that was so good!

This is your finest work yet. Really felt like you were talking directly to me, especially with the research pronunciation and the lounge shots
The twist at the end left me speechless! Glad too see your back! Amazing content like always!
Even Mr. Beast goes outside when he needs inspiration. I get some of my best ideas when I’m walking my dog.
It’s amazing how taking simple walks can clear the mind and open up some of the best ideas we have. ❤
I’m dyslexic so for me is very difficult to write scripts, actually impossible. I’m an artist and just create and must of the time I don’t know what I’m doing but the result matters in the end.

There's no way you made a Goldeneye Streets 1:12 reference in this video. You are a legend
IVE NEVER SEEN A 1:13 AND I NEVER F*CKING WILL
That twist at the end was🔥🔥
Glad to see you’re back!!
Keep uploading and making content untill the algorithm has no choice but to recognize your channel and promote it.

Best video i’ve seen on many of my biggest issues lol. Insanely good video dude, gonna try to implement some of these.
Wow that was fantastic! So pertinent and also fun, and I didn't see the surprise coming until less than a minute from the end ! Bravo

Thanks for this! Seeing your process especially how you work thru your struggles is super helpful
Welcome back Ed, we missed you!
Bro just hit us with the biggest twist at the end damn! Finally back Film Booth. I love your videos
LOVE the ending! Felt like I was watching a mini INCEPTION
That’s what I thought! Lol

Thanks for this - wish I’d known this before! Love your style of engaging👏
You’ve given me great tips over the years! thanks mate 👍

Totally a Christopher Nolan ending (which is ironic since he is best known for his writing!) is the top still spinning!!! Great job!!!!!! There are two timelines in the video. The one where you are writing, and the video you shot. So good!!!!!
Thanks for the video. Lots of helpful details, now to implement them! Wish me luck!
Pleas keep on posting of film booth... I love your content on this channel it really helps in my channel growth
Welcome Back Ed!
Perfect timing for this video for me
Cheers Pete !
SOOOO glad you're back!! 👏👏👏
I've watched the whole video on x0.75 only to realize by the end that I'm not alone in thinking that the editing is just too fast. I wouldn't disregard those commenters as these are the people who are really trying to understand what you are saying.

This video was so great! Just what I needed today to let loose and remember to trust my instinct. Also a great reminder of both Parkinson’s law and the 80/20 principle.
Very entertaining and I appreciate you!

imma go cook and come back and watch this
I genuinely recommend your channel to every person who’s asked me how to start a YT channel.
This is one of the few channels that provide tangible pieces of advice that can help creators succeed, over the fluff and generalities many other TH-camrs give.

Number 4 had me so excited... I was like "yes finally, my channel will improve tenfold." Then you said, "Write a script. "
I already do that 😐😂
Lovely to see you back in action! Great vid as ever 💪💪💪
I haven't even seen the video yet, and I know it's going to be great! These days, I've been wondering what's been happening with you because I haven't seen you for a while. :D Thank you for this great video!
Could have put this on a community post . But you strung us out with a video. The comfort of being in the club I suppose
Damn, you're good! I was waiting for that last line.
Great video Ed.
Good updates on your personal life as well….😳
I think your uploads are perfectly timed.
I watch on 1.5x speed as it MAKES me concentrate on the content.
Best take from this particular video IMHO?
That the extra 20% isn’t worth the effort ( same as fitness-you get to an excellent high 80% level through very hard work? But putting in the same amount of work for that extra 20% isn’t justifiable …)
Welcome back -
Love this. It leverages my ADHD like a champ, too. Thank you!
Ed, you’re the freakin’ best at this!!! Hands down!
Great video Ed! Shower scene was worth it! I think your secret plan to get more matches might just work!
1 - set timer for work
2 - get your comfortable place for the productivity
3 - take a brack if you feel blockade in thoughts and go walk and come back and complete it
4- redraft script for - more concise , entertaining, interesting , easy to understand
5- don't judge the videos on the basis of few peoples comments , hit and try model will work well hear
6 - scripting makes videos way better
7- 20 % work produces 80 % results , get your 20 % done
no friction ideas getes good videos but that ideas comes from experience
Missed this, good thing you are back!
What a plot twist! Thanks for the video mate.
No one does TH-cam education with more style than Ed, great stuff!
"like typing through treacle"🤣 that's funny.
So good to see you back making videos.
Damn I'm sure I saw at least 3 different thumbnails and titles by now, great iteration Ed!
Im playing with the split tester, I wouldn't usually use it on launch but thought id see what happed
This guy is buffed!

And no matter what I do I can’t change that. I can almost say either way a high level of certainty for example that if i uploaded a video right now. By the end of the day it would be the same thing as the other videos between 15 and 30% retention only.
I’m going to keep trying through. Hopefully one day I can tell you about the video that changed my whole channel around! 👍
A goldmine of information, as always! Thank you 😊
Welcome back and thanks for the video!
I Love the channel. Thanks 👍🏼
My man just discovered timeboxing. ;) Agile stuff like this has been around for over 20 years, it's about time more people learned it's power. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
