Really amazing! Your understanding of the psychology of keeping viewer attention is probably the best I have seen.
Plus, how you integrate sponsor pitch is brilliant. It's not just a sales pitch but part of the story.
@@InvisiblePeople It's actually what inspired the content idea! Current contacted me and I asked myself "How can I use finances to motivate a video?"
This video's the result.
@@HillierSmith I figured that's how it originated. ads work best when they don't feel like ads, and you are demonstrating a practical use relatable to your audience = brilliant. Well done!
@@HillierSmith very clever indeed!
What you mean is simply his ability to ARTICULATE it.
Great video man! I don’t know what your commercial is selling but we’re buying it! 😎
The commercial I'm selling is to Subscribe to my channel.
@@HillierSmith as if we weren’t subscribed already (love your content) big fan over here 🥰

If anyone argues that editing isn’t an art, show them this video.
so true
Editing is 100% art. Editing shapes the whole piece. Footage only takes you part of the way, the real art is in editing.
My dude, just love the pacing of this video! So fun to watch!
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
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
This was amazing! Loved watching the process from start to finish.

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.
yes you are right!
Like this so Hillie sees it
yoo derpled
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.
Watching this on my editing break. The advert was INSANE and this whole video was executed perfectly, good job Hayden.
Love seeing the Spike Jonze Homepod commercial in the intro!
Exactly the approach I needed to see. Thanks!
well done! I love how the neon brought it all together! thanks for sharing your talents with us!
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.
what is b-roll?
@@sh-lr1cx extra video footage that have voice over or used as supporting clips
Hey Brian, I’m working on making a channel for beginner editors. Is there something in particular you struggled with? Or something you want to learn still?
Dude, what an incredible video! I am in awe at how you made that commercial without ever turning on a camera. Gets me excited to step up my editing game!
Thanks Mate, that was the best laugh I have had in a while, so much fun to watch, you really lead the pack. Stay Safe!
DAMNN. Been waiting for another upload, and here we are!
Amazing work every time. Learning alot that cant be found anywhere else for Free !
man, I gotta say you keep giving and giving, and the passion and purpose in your videos has a fire that give people like me hope. thank you for this video, feeling inspired by your passion and can't wait for more and more, thanks for being there always, and explaining it to me like I'm 5 years old. much love from vancouver canada brother!! I love your vids ((:
Always good to see you, Louis! Glad my passion for editing inspires you, too!
@@HillierSmith I loved it, worth every second, thank you for your hard work!!
Man ...Hayden this is amazing. I am so confused about how to structure my videos and have this perfect flow but you make it look so easy. Plus this video gave me a lesson on how I also should plan my videos...Perfectly presented video..I think imma get back into editing...cuz this was just so motivational and so so good!!!
That was an amazing edit. Thank you so much for sharing that!! It is very motivating! I am binge watching you rn.
THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE! I’m definitely going to take inspiration for my upcoming TH-cam video. I am really starting to love editing as more of an art form instead of just busy work like you said! Thanks!
Having worked with many high profile channels, the moment a TH-camr starts seeing editing as art and not busy-work is always the biggest game changer to their content. It is a little known "TH-cam hack" I am trying to get more people aware of. The fact you are becoming aware of this early on will have a huge return on investment! Happy editing!
@HillierSmith bro you touched my heart❤️
@@HillierSmith Thanks so much, Hayden! You're a huge inspiration for me, and I'm looking forward to popping up on your home page once I nail down my niche and content!
The final cut timelines for your videos are insanely good
Thank you!
@@HillierSmith no problem
i always leave your vids feeling pumped up xD
you're amazing!
Bro your work always amazes me! Just tried working on a vlog based off of everything I’ve picked up from your videos and it feels it still is missing something! But it’s a start will drop it can keep learning from you. Man keep up the great work, I’ll keep watching!!
Your videos are like the apple commercials for video editors. You literally motivate me to make and edit better videos.
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?
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.
Great question mate
@@HillierSmith Now that's how you answer a question.
Excellent question and answer!
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
You did an AMAZING job integrating the product plug into your script. You made your use of the product relevant to your video!! Brilliant.
man your videos crack me up love it! keep doing what your doing
Hayden,
your editing breakdowns have been a huge help with starting my channel.
Thanks a lot and keep’em coming!
Would love to see you commenting over a typical talking head channel’s video (Graham Stephan, Ali Abdaal…)
Looking forward to your next video!!
loved the video!
Thank you!!
@@HillierSmith how’s my editing?
The most entertaining video editing classes for both beginners and masters. This is my favorite youtube channel these days.
Dude love your stuff through & through. You Keep it real . Your video is boring changed our ways . Thanks again keep it up.
What a fucking creative video!!! You always surprise with you creative mind. I would've loved it more if you had showed the music part as well. That music track fits perfectly. I wanna know your mind behind it ❤️
An entire video dedicated to music selection is definitely coming in the very near future... 😉
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. 🙌🏻🤘🏻
The budget is not the final price my man.
Your videos are of incredible quality! Thankyou for teaching us!!
This deserves way more views, great job!!
god damnnnn that was good
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.
Absolutely loved this video, can’t wait for more!
Damn! This video deserves so many more views. Fantastic Job on the final product!
Hayden should make "STORYF*CKINGTELLING" merch
I've considered it...
@@HillierSmith It's a good idea, jus sayin'
🐐🐐🐐🐐
LOVED THIS! Killed it bro
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".
It's always a great day when Hayden posts!!!
Please consider doing a video on how to edit like Emma chamberlain’s new vlog style, its like 90s documentary style and such a vibe!
I have had so many thoughts about her new vlogging style! I won't shut up to my friends about it. She's really doing something different and it's working so well for her! A video about it is definitely in the works...
Absolutely amazing, even the edits to make the TH-cam video… great job🔥
Always learning with your videos. Thanks!!
You forgot what music you used !!
Its insane but the music is a bit too loud 😅
I found it good...but everyone has their own preference :))
You might be right! It's always a challenge to mix everything right, that's a skill I intend to improve on, thank you for informing me!
@@HillierSmith keep up the good work 🙏🏻 support from Germany!
@@cediprodofficial Greetings from Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 🥨 🍻
@@HillierSmith I found out that it never sounds the same whether is listen with my headset, AirPods, or speaker
Maybe I should stop editing with a headset
Hayden your timelines are always a piece of art I can't wait to see you hit 1 Million Subs!
CAN'T LIE THAT WAS FIRE! GREAT JOB AND WELL EXPLAINED! THANKS FOR SHARING
Good stuff, Hayden!
I just wish her audio didn't clip in the voiceover...kinda threw it off.
Good stuff, otherwise, though
Nice!!!
Always happy to learn more editing.
This is honestly a really good ad/video made with such few resources! Your editing skills never ceases to impress. Keep it up! 😁
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Your a dangerous man....this was a great video chief!!!
Every of your Videos shows me that there's so much left for me to learn when it comes to editing. And it always motivates me to do better.
Great work!
Looks cool brother i loved the simple storytelling part
Bro!!! You got talent, not even just on the editing side, the delegating side as well deserves some recognition
You always bring that value and inspiration Hayden! Fantastic 🤯
Your channel alone has inspired me to go from believing need to hire out editing to being fully convinced that I need to embrace editing as part of my channel expression.
Time was a huge factor and editing didn’t seem like it was on the table in the beginning but the more I watch on your channel the more I want to spend time editing and less time on other things!
Wow, this video is gold. The way u present everything is amazing. Keep it up!
Genius. Of course I need more of your content. I have an addiction to the chaos and I need to learn it.
Your a freaking meta video maker man. This video pulled me in and I had shit to do instead but stayed to watch.
Love this dude! This video gives me a reason for me to continue my passion
So much to take in - an absolute minefield of ideas, techniques, effects, and alternative approaches ... Bloody well done!
Top job , love the delivery of your vids . They always make me laugh whilst delivering informative useful tolls for me to try
Another brilliant video. I learned a couple of things watching this. 🤜🤛
The timing and cadence in the ad was A1. It was driving and had areas where it showed emphasis on specific areas to bring attention to them. So great
This kind of videos always REMIND me that it all start in your mind . Gear matters but the idea and flow of it matters the MOST . Thanks
Same
Lol……… dude you’re something else, nice work 👍 love your shows.
Masterclass. Thank you. Great to see someone absolutely at the top of their game nail a project 👏👏👏
That was pretty cool! Thanks for the inspiration 😊
"Well f**k me!" 😅😅😅😅 the honesty in your vids is what makes them great 👌
Excellent video. A great example of showing that with a little creativity you can go a long way. And thanks for the links to the motion graphics elements. I actually saw some of them used in another video, but, couldn't find them online.
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
Man, I've missed your vids on my youtube page. Great work!
Great pacing. Being a video editor myself it takes me out of it when I recognize commonly used stock footage I’ve seen or used before but for the average viewer it looks all new and highly produced.
Bloody LOVE THIS!
This is the most fun i've had watching a youtube video in a while. Bravo!
Love that you were having fun!
Brilliant man! Exceeded my expectations.
I'm overwhelmed a bit too... haha
Start,Middle,End Dang broo!!🔥
Brilliant editing makes a HUGE difference
i really like these editing challenges you do
Damn that is amazing! Your talent and knowing what to do really shows in that commercial!
Killed it
Had to watch and learn a second time! Creative wowsa! Do more of these when you have time 🎉
This is a pretty cool demo of a modern creative process, especially given the world of stock assets.
I loved seeing how you saw through this idea.
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.
it was another level!!!! love it bro
The way he included the ad was genius. I almost always get bored at ads and he kept me engaged throughout. Great job
Master storyteller at work right here! This channel has quickly become one of my favorite on TH-cam
Oh my god, this video is crazy!!
Thanks buddy!!! 😊
Your videos are both amazing and disapointing. I was looking foward to learn about video editing, youtuber stuff and etc. Your videos were amazing.
At the same time, I saw how much effort you've put into it and I noticed that I could never be this good, nor I would ever dedicate as much time and effort as you. So I am kinda disapointed at myself and because I can clearly see that the internet is ruthless and required more and more quality for not so great returns
This channel is super underrated. This channel needs at least one million subscribers.
