What song did you use at 0:37
This was a 13 minute editing masterclass Hayden, wow!
Yes I also love watching your videos for editing.
Yeah it was!
I love how Hayden sounds like a supervillain when explaining all of his tricks to boost retention 😂
I'm an Avengers level threat.
Fr, its like when the super villain explains how all the menace was done
YOU SLY DOG YOU GOT ME MONOLOGUING!
Bro is literally using 19th century supervillain music lmao
Yes, yes, it reminds me of Salieri's narration from movie Amadeus. Magnicifent 👏
The Pokémon video itself is truly incredible. I absolutely love the film references you made, so well implemented. THIS VIDEO too is just unbelievable. The way you use music to set rhythm, pace and emotion is just astounding in both. I would LOVE to know where you get your tracks from!
Anyways thank you for sharing your experience with us man! I learnt a lot today. Huge huge respect to you.
Nice last vid finzar
Finzar you're an editing legend too
I used Clockwork Orange to characterise a Pikachu, I'm not sure Stanley Kubrick ever intended for that. However, it meant I was able to send a love letter to that phenomenal film.
As for where I get my music, well that's my little secrets that maybe one day, I'll talk about...
@@HillierSmith its like kfc secret recipy why you dont know but thats what makes the chicken so good
@@HillierSmith Can you please share your favorite storytelling books? I just finished Save the Cat.
Thanks.
Justin
Now you gotta make a video explaining how you edited this one, then a video explaining how you edited that one.
And the next one. And can’t forget about that one.
Hayden you are a genius, Logan’s video was amazing and so was this one. Thank you for sharing your thought process while making this video
This ^
for real. love how he basically edited this one the exact same way as the logan paul video. showing while telling while showing 🥲🥲
What's amazing is that this video is just as exciting, if not more exciting, than the original video.
Who else can make a video about editing that hooks the viewer like this?
The editing philosophies taught here are gonna stick with me forever 🔥🔥
Fr david the baker😬😳
I'm gonna watch this again, and again, and again.
Unbelievable skill, unreal.
Every time you think you're good at editing you watch a Hayden video and realize just how much better you could be
Hi jack big fan
Absolutely
Dude, have literally been waiting for you to make this video. I sat down with a few of my RUclips friends and watched the original, taking a deep look at it, and we were all like “this video is amazing”. So cool to see you break down your thought process behind it. Thanks so much for this 🙏
Woah, and what were some of your takeaways from the Logan's video?
@@HB-kl5ik a lot of it was as Hayden described, except he put it much more eloquently. :) we talked about pacing, references, the hook, the mystery, music choices, animation, peak moment/“subdued” intensity (eg Clair de Lune on the reveal), conflict and obstacles, characterisation of Logan, hero’s journey.
But there were a few missing pieces from our discussion which have been filled. Most importantly, contrast editing, and anticipation creation by getting close to goal but diving into pit of despair.
All these fundamentals of narrative work for retention storytelling. We’ve seen it work in the charts. But, Hayden wraps it up so nicely, and the intentionality behind some choices (eg Clockwork Orange close ups) is out of this world.
So much to take away and implement. This is one of my favorite videos about editing on RUclips now.
This storytelling is beyond impressive Hayden! 👏😌
Packed with extremely valuable insights!
I appreciate these more than you could ever imagine. Nobody else makes these types of vids. Thank you!
You're on a whole new level.
This is hundreds of hours of work in 13 mins ... getting well deserved credit.
It’s crazy how much goes on in editing. The symbolism of small cuts and long shots can be so impactful. Been waiting for u to post Hayden! Keep it up!
I love the small details. Such as when you at 1:07 say I just made you focus the camera comes from out of focus into focus. That is next level man.
this is straight up one of the best videos I have ever seen
When the video about engagement is somehow even more engaging
The fact you can make an editing breakdown actually entertains just shows how much of a pro at this. Cause informative editing videos are usually just so boring
PLEASE post more often!! These videos are a literal gold mine.
I think the zenith cut was great because the rawness of the clip also showed the most emotion out of any clip, and in such a high production video, it felt like we (the viewer) are now on the same level (in the same room) as Logan because of how raw and slow it is after such intensity and build up. Really great job 👏 One of your best works
Bro the ad for your course played, I was so confused at first. Nice video very intuitive
Thank you for bringing the Hero's Journey back to RUclips, as most creators are over-optimizing, you are doubling down on the principles of cinema!
This video was a bigger masterpiece than than the Pokémon card video. The way you explained everything and added your own touch , rationale and emotions was amazing
Idk if people realise just how geniuos Hiller is..
Not only did he explain exactly step by step how to make a brilliant video, but he literally did all these technics AGAIN within this EXACT VIDEO!
I love how you're actually applying the same techniques again while also explaining it. Amazing!
I’m so glad you’re starting to make more videos right as creator now is ending, you provide 95% of the value that class offers 🤝
Dude, your editing on this video itself gave me chills at the end. I'm so grateful I found your channel. So good!
I cried while watching this video, and held my breath in anticipation multiple times - that's fucking powerful storytelling! Taking me on the heros journey, while describing how you edited the heros journey, about pokemon cards - and this is the beauty of youtube. Thank you!
I can’t believe you made this whole breakdown free. This was amazing.
My man Hillier has been inspiration for years now!
I grew my style of editing with you... but you are always 5 steps ahead 👏👏👏
I love how Hayden keeps our attention with this video with the same tricks he used with the pokemon video
I took a 15 minute break from work to watch this, I’m so pumped. I’m filming/editing a short documentary about nuclear waste dumping near me, and I’m using all these tips to help get my message across in an entertaining, digestible way.
Thank you for taking the time to break these videos down, they’re such an amazing learning experience.
nuclear waste and digestible in the same sentence...hahah... maybe you should SHOW that?
The storytelling of how you story told the original video is the real beauty
The original video's editing was pretty incredible so I was curious to see the workflow and perhaps get an idea for how the editor's creative mind works, so I decided to search and found this video. All I can say is that I am completely blown away. From the explanations of certain cuts and edits, to seeing you create an actual experience when you delve deep into the edit itself, and even doing that with this video as well, while keeping it professional and giving great advice, showing the incredible attention to detail you put into your edit, having a psychological perspective over how a viewer might react or feel while watching, thinking of how to keep their attention for the entirety of the video, drawing inspiration from legendary creators and artists, and just so much more, I did not expect to see this level of creativity, passion and dedication to making your product the best it can be. I always appreciate a great edit, trying to look out for all the subtle details, and this just took everything to a whole new level. Phenomenal job with both the original video as well as this one, you are an outstanding editor and creator overall
This is one of those teaching moments. Except I get to replay this "moment" as often as I like. What a great walkthrough of editing techniques. Thank you. :)
I want to say this is so "next level" but it's way beyond that. Watching it the first time, I learned so much I can use. Watching it the second time, I see you use many if not all the techniques you're talking about. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
i literally come back to this video to rewatch it, probably the most well edited video i have ever seen on youtube. and each time i go back to it im just as interested as the first time i watched it. as an aspiring full time editor i really appreciate watching the breakdowns like these aswell, really shows the thought that goes into a quality piece like this
This video is a masterpiece. Storytelling genius… learned a ton in this one 🙌
It’s truly amazing how you kept me interested on every single second of this video while you were explaining how you did that on Logan’s video.
Valuable, valuable, valuable content for free! Not finished with our editing journey by no means, but just emplementing a fraction of your advice has increased our watch time / retention. Have learned so much from you and @Film Booth
Very happy to be a small part of this video with my map, thank you for this opportunity.
And of course, congratulations for this amazing video. It's a blockbuster.
Hayden... After watching this I'm left... speechless... The video you're talking about maybe one of the best on Logan's channel, as well as this one is on yours! I felt like watching Da Vinci explaning every single move of his brush... The complexity, the connection, the thoughts behind every 0.1 second of the video just astonish me...That was just beautiful.
I will remember this everytime I make an edit - "contrast", "variarity", and knowing when to let go, to build up to certain point and just let if flow by itself.
Also I am always amazed how you play with the music. I would love if you could do someday a video where you show how you choose a music, when to change it and how to cut it. I remember when you said in one video that we shouldn't let music decide the rhythm, we should take control over it... but I still struggle with that... not knowing when to cut and how to cut so smoothly as you do - because it isn't just a fade out, it's like fading out with a reverb, making it so much more magical... I would love if you could talk more about it someday. Meanwhile I'm so inspired that I'm going straight to the editing;) Thank you Hayden, much love from Poland!
The SECOND Clair de Lune set in my whole body got goosebumps and even as I‘m typing this run they’re still there
What a choice of song
Extra Credit: Keep an eye on how Hillier often employs the same techniques he's talking about using while he's talking about them:
For example at 04:38 when he talks about changing the rhythm of the LP video, he changes the rhythm of his own video.
This is incredible, can’t wait to try and apply some of these
Thank you so much Hillier. This is more interesting than the Logans original video. An amazing work 😍👌
I LOVE THE NAKEDNESS of this line it gives a relief to everyone to admit being limited
idk why but the gatekeeping of the music in the timeline is so funny to me 😂
The music site wouldn't sponsor this video ;)
Well that makes sense then lol
Dude is one of the GOATS in editing.
Absolutely incredible work, Hayden! Love how you implemented many of the techniques talked about into this video as well.
The most entertaining and educational video editing breakdown.. WOW!! ...
I remember thinking "show me the flipping card" 😆 🤣
No way Film Booth 😱
Honestly incredible, I watched the video before I saw this breakdown and knew you were behind that magic!
That was beautiful 🥲
amazing how your brain works when it comes to this stuff, need more of these! (I need one for logans last prime video)
More to come!
I didn't know 17 seconds was a long time to not have a cut lol
You are a part of the youtube Hall of fame for sure. GENIUS!!!
One of the impressive things for me about your editing is your sound design and the ability to cut the music so perfectly to the visuals. Such a hard skill but it’s soooo crucial to the feel and pace of the video. Loved this video so much, thanks
This is the best RUclips editing video I’ve ever seen. I watched it, then sent it to my editor, then watched it with my wife just for fun
This was amazing! Kudos.
You have one of the best channels on RUclips for video editing, I’m always beyond impressed watching your videos
Absolute master at your craft. I'm taking notes AGAIN
this video can honestly help SO MANY people understand editing, cuts, use of music, b roll and everything that's needed for good content creation.
I fking love this vid dude already recommended it to some friends who are looking to improve
I really appreciate how aware, analytical and articulate you are about all your editing choices. You’re a great teacher and the kind of person who would give me harsh but necessary feedback on my videos to improve. Keep making videos like these because you’re helping so many creators improve and that’s fantastic :)
Hayen back with another banger breakdown! Can't admire this person enough.
Idk why I even have a Masterclass membership when I can just watch some HHS videos, and learn significantly more.
Dude, Hillier holy sht man, this is a masterpiece, as an editor myself, just... holy shit man. This is Gold. Platinum even.
i don't know why but your philosophy of "the zenith cut" had me in tears with goosebumps and inspiration running through and through. yet another beautiful breakdown hayden, thank you so much :)
Oh my word. Like the nuggets in this video are just plan dope. Wow. The contrast and pacing tips were my fav 👍
This video made me fall back in love with video editing, this is a literal masterpiece
Really illuminating! I like the idea of contrast creating intereset. Rather than saying "Oh, the talking head shot is boring" you turned it into a strength -- it's a great contrast for the wrestling shots!
So much information that I'll need to watch this a few times.
This should be required viewing for every RUclipsr.
Dude your content is actually mind blowing
Wow, you've made so many important and great decisions during the process of creating this edit. The amount of insights, knowledge, and skill it required is absolutely mind-blowing! I initially thought about becoming a video editor, but after watching this, I realized that video editing is so much more than just putting clips together and adding music. Editors are like directors, shaping the entire narrative! I'm inspired and would love to become one too. :)))
A lot to learn that's for sure, thank you for helping us step into these creative waters. Great job on that video edit, truly beautiful.
I love how critical you are. You hold people to a high standard.
Brilliant and inspiring editing and storytelling tools
Definetly need to rewatch the video now with this in my head
What I found so interesting was that you were showing the techniques you explained for logans video, you literally applied it to this video itself. It's seemless and I didn't even notice until the end when you slowed down the pace. Incredible and can't believe that this is free lolll
I can watch these breakdown videos of you all day.
They are so informative & even in this breakdown video, looks like you followed the same principles you used while editing the original video.
The best video in the past few years I have watched. Looking forward to watching his other content, and his podcast
That made me emotional for some reason, what a fucking artist. Absolutely top notch
Super awesome video. I tried to edit my latest video using this as a sort of blueprint and it is going VIRAL! Between this and the actual Pokémon video, I worked on the first 30 seconds. Trying to slowly raise the tension. It totally worked. Thanks for this!
The Zenith cut, i love it
You’re. Insane. Your editing is spectacular but the ability to breakdown, not only your thought process but your own emotional journey throughout the editing process as well, is highly valued.
I value you watching this video, thank you!
never seen such a cleverly edited video of an edited video
I wish i could just watch you edit man, I feel like that would change my whole perspective🔥 Awsome Video Hillier
We are back baby :’) Hayden so happy to hear your voice again thank you for your inspiration always!! Much love to you from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 love you brother!
I am so amazed when I look at something like this. Truly a piece of art.
I remember watching Logan's videos and hearing him talk about his editor, Hayden, and the videos were/are so well edited. I just realized HE IS HAYDEN. So hype I found him being an editor and filmmaker myself.
What’s more impressive is actually the video editing for this video itself. This is an absolute masterpiece
The amount of pure talent and creativity needed to edit and think like this is indescribable
A masterclass as always
there is no content like yours out there. I have learned so much on this video. you're my favorite editor. I wonder who are your favorite editors.
You are n amazing editor Hayden
Even most of the Logan Paul subscriber still hate him at the moment due to his cringey behaviour and always pretend to be smart when the camera is on .
But you are the one who made his cringey lifestyle watchable due to your editing skills ❤️
Hats off Mann 🙇🏻♂️
In Hayden's purest form, you could go as far as saying this is art. Well done.
There’s so much thought and talent in your videos. LOVE your storytelling and editing so much. One of the best on youtube
Hayden is a master when it comes with knowing what our subconscious needs. We dont even know why we watch and stay intuned to all these videos but Hayden explains it and it all makes sense. he basically knows how to talk to our brain we dont even have control over its so crazy to me.
This video needs to be in an editing museum or smthn....its too good 🔥
This is such a masterclass. I'm taking notes like crazy
