I'm Hayden Hillier-Smith. On this channel I will break down what makes good editing...pulling back the curtain on how editors make the choices to keep YOU, THE, AUDIENCE engaged. This includes showcasing the creative choices I have made. I hope you can learn something new and inspire you to edit.

I've come to realization that I know nothing about editing.
-
Ok that intro was just ridiculously good
-
The copying part is so true, one of my favourite quotes: “Start copying what you love. Copy copy copy copy. At the end of the copy you will find yourself.” [Yohji Yamamoto]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE That last line... "It doesn't matter if it's been done before, because you're the one doing it." I learned that a long time ago in regards to songwriting. Every note, every melody, has already been done before. It's how you put it together that makes it unique.

Pacing in editing is so underrated bro more people need to understand how important it is
-
It really changed me🥲 I always tried to avoid coping and suffered for ideas. But from now I’ll focus on personality than ideas..
-
Everything felt so hard at first. And the more we learn, the more we want to learn. We watch videos now for how they edit, how they tell a story and how they pace things. Still learning…

May I just say that your advice is quite simply AMAZING. I just used the jump cut layering of audio tip (I hope you know what I mean) for a voice over and it sounds 10x BETTER than before. It’s the little epiphanies like this that make me want to edit more and become more passionate than I already am about making videos/stories. My most genuine thank you!! AND I love your videos!
-
Steal like an Artist! That's how I've gotten started. Respect your sources of course, but mimicking what you like and making it your own is a great way to build momentum. Over time it becomes more individualized with your own flare. Great video. Thanks for the advice!

This channel has helped so much, thanks Hayden📈📈

Why does he look like the flag of France

Watching your videos and absorbing your information feels like cheat code in real life. Thank you!

"It doesn't matter if it's been done before" - that is such good advice. Seth Godin once said, "Originality is overrated. If you're on vacation and you notice an awesome coffee shop doing something no one in your town has heard of, open a coffee shop in your town doing the same thing." Otherwise you're robbing people in your town of that cool experience. Your perspective is what makes your content original. Lean into it, hard.
-
Great advice - love the thoughts at the end about adding your own spin to past ideas. If you truly loved a piece of content, your own unique creativity is going to come together with it to create something new x

Great video buddy. I was literally looking for another one of your videos to put into an editing on-boarding doc we're making for our new editor who's starting next week and I saw this one. Gonna show him both! Zac

"It doesn't matter if it's been done before because YOU'RE the one that's doing it...and YOU will make it unique." That hit home for me! Thank you for this video as well as these motivating words! Much love!

Jump cuts are not necessary. Pacing, not too fast or slow, is important. Too much "one size fits all" advice here. And not everything you copy and smear your fingerprints on will look unique. Derivative elements are one thing, and plagiarism and copyright infringement are another. Know the difference. EDIT: And just being cliche is another thing. Which is generally boring.

3:00 Hayden now actually says this: Do your favorite thing first because it can be an inspiration for the other edits and makes it much more clearer
