Hands down your best video yet. Love it. Messaging, editing, storytelling all on point! Great progression! I was struggling with this very topic over the weekend. Found a video I wanted to model and felt "dirty" so I changed it up. I won't feel that way in the future thanks to you! 🤣 Nice work!
Another great video. Looking forward to next week when you hopefully hit your 1000 subscribers! I’ve started a deep dive into a few content creators but I’m going to change my approach to more closely align with how you do it.
This is amazing! Not many people are implementing these strategies and growing to this extent. I truly love your video concepts and knowledge, this feels like a great place to learn.
@ I can try 🤔 I try to get better at learning how to make better videos and through strategizing outline, thumbnail, and titles for example, but that’s the extent I know, I admire how you tried to recreate a viral video because many people don’t take it that far in their learning. :) it takes a lot of self awareness and growth to do this so I will try my best. And your organizational tips are great to learn from too!
Great idea to recreate a successful video. I've done something similar with songwriting before as an exercise. I lean a few songs from an artist paying attention to what chords they use, melody structure, instrumentation, etc. and then write song that sounds like one they'd write. It's a good way to force you do try something outside of your norm. May have to find a video to recreate now and see what happens!
I really love this idea! I think I'll try this out. I'd like to experiment with different ways to film and edit and I think this would be a great way to do this. Thank you!
Grabbing knowledge from well performing videos of other creators is such a good way to learn, and they probably learned that stuff from someone else, who learned it from someone else, who learned it from a book about writing good articles who probably just rewrote something they learned from another book etc etc :) The biggest mistake I did «back in the day» when I was learning graphic design was thinking that all the great designs I saw out there where *just* the product of their imagination, dreamt up in a vacuum - boy was I wrong. It held me back for years discarding stuff cause I felt it was too similar or I knew it was vaguely based on someone’s something. Musicians do it all the time, writers do it all the time, and to be honest a good youtube script like for the video you lifted things from, those tricks about value up front for each segment, is just a regular tool used in writing all the time :) I’ve been toying with a variation of this idea of actually taking a video, and «blueprinting» the structure of it (use b-roll when the original creator uses b-roll, switching between primary and secondary storyline at the same points, inserting in between segments when they do, but *not* copying shots or content or anything of that nature, just shot by shot copying the structure of the edit and nothing else, as an experiment and a learning process, hopefully I’ll have time to look at it during xmas when things are a bit quiet :) On a different note, it’s fun to see how some of our metrics from analytics are following the same trajectories based on amount of videos, although you have all of yours within a tight 16 week timeframe, while my 20-ish videos are spread out over 8-9 months, (or a year counting the first 2 «proper» ones). My last one from thursday, filmed in just an hour and edited in 45 minutes, suddenly exploded on friday/saturday at 2.6k views and 177 watch time hours right now, and bringing in 90+ subs in just 3-4 days (but 134 subs from all the new video views across the channel in total) - it’s just wild how something just explodes like that out of nowhere, the graph just turned into a wall overnight, youtube sure is fun sometimes :)
Exactly, everything is a remix. And yeah in retrospect, it's so obvious about the "desired outcomes" and "pain points" and why it makes sense where they are, but sometimes (at least for me), unless I can kind of visualize it structurally in an outline, it's completely clear to, which then goes back to this idea of spending a lot of time scripting etc (unless of course these things come naturally when just riffing) I saw that last one, it was great. I think what helps is your style and communication and your scene changes. So there's things you're definitely doing right whether instructed to or not :D I still need to watch the DaVinci Resolve one
@ Oh definitely scripting/outlining helps a lot, especially if one first gets everything down on paper in a logical structure with focus on facts, and *then* spend time prefacing the facts with those early sells in the segments like you described :) Highlighting the important parts of what’s to come without revealing the details to keep people watching for the lowdown is the art ;) Over time it does almost become a natural way of thinking, almost like an instinct, for some people :)
@ Hahaha, thanks :) Didn’t really expect that to happen like it did, gotta be honest, chucked that video out on wednesday and seeing it sit at 8/10 for most of thursday I got in my car on friday morning to drive for 8 hours and halfway through the trip the phone went ding ding ding ding suddenly with comment notifications galore ;) Fun to see something that simple get a little traction, big question now is what to follow it up with, last time something like that happened I let 2 months fly by without time to make a new video, so this time I might try to do youtube right and actually make a follow up to report back on how that turned out ;)
This is interesting, I mean we all take inspiration from other creators but never really thought about recreating and learning. Great video btw.🎉🎉🎉Thankyou 🤘🏻
Thank you! I was thinking about when somebody learns an instrument, they often try to play a song they know as a way to getting better all around. Similar concept in m view :D Thanks again for checking it out!
@ ahhh yeah it was a lot of work to be able to put out content consistently. IG was easier for me so I had some luck there but I’ve been slacking a lot on content in 2024. Need to get back to it again.
Hey! i wanted to drop in and say congratz on your youtube growth! great videos! I noticed you are getting subscribers very fast, well compared to my channel. I got my 4000 watch hours first then i was able to get 1000 subscribers. I think the reason is that i started live streaming the game i was playing and looking at my analytics that spiked my watch time hours so fast. Subscribers was way slower. So maybe having a live stream session where you teach something for a couple hours without any edits so people who are interested can watch the whole process to learn. This way you can get your watch time hours up and help the community at the same time.
Heeey, thanks for the input, I had actually been thinking about this as well, I think it's a great idea. Maybe I'll Livestream an editing session and see if people are interested in seeing how I edit my videos. How long would you stream for and how many viewers would you get? Did you notice if those livestreams got a lot of views AFTER the stream had ended once it was a regular video on the channel?
@@Ty_Myers keep in mind tho, youtube will not save the VOD of your live stream if its more than 12 hours, i dont know if you can teach something for 12 hours but just a tip if you want to teach how to code in python or something... my gaming videos were 9-11 hours long, which was a series, so people who started watching came back to watch the rest of the series. i got views after the live stream ended... i made my own thumbnails on canva. if you need a great video idea, Top 10 Essential Apps/Tool you need as a Content Creator on RUclips.. you can talk about pros and cons, free vs paid versions, where to use these programs and why. me personally i would watch that if were starting on youtube.
Have you ever done this? If so, what did you learn by deeply studying another creators content?

Thanks Dave, I think as long as there is a subtle nod to the source content, it's worth the experiment :D
Anthony's a great guy - always willing to answer comments and help out. Smart move to deconstruct one of his videos!
Thanks Ted, he seems like it and his videos are top notch
Congrats on your 1000 subscribers. Your channel was recommended by Old Me Living better.
I subscribed to your channel today. Loved the experiment.
Thank you, I appreciate it! Glad you found me :D
Congrats on your growth! We all wish our growth was faster, but I think you’re delivering real and sincere value.
Thank you! Trying :D

Thank you Marletta! Much appreciated
Let’s go Ty! You are very close to monetise 🎉
Weeeeell, still a ways away from 4000 Watch-Time Hours. But thank you, we'll get there!
This is amazing! Not many people are implementing these strategies and growing to this extent. I truly love your video concepts and knowledge, this feels like a great place to learn.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your feedback, is this something you may tinker around with do you think?

Love that, I'm curious if you end up making a video how it shakes out.
@@Ty_Myers I'll keep an eye out this week for one to replicate 👍
Another great video. I’ve got a couple of ideas for the new year. I might have to style them on market leading videos. Thank for the great idea. 👍
Thank you sir! It was a fun, yet very time consuming, exercise.
I really love this idea! I think I'll try this out. I'd like to experiment with different ways to film and edit and I think this would be a great way to do this. Thank you!
Right on! I'd love to take a look if/when you do. Is there a video in mind you might use?
@ Not yet, I really want to make sure it aligns with my current audience even thought it’s small, but I’ll definitely be thinking about that this week
