    Beem has been the upcoming creator this year, he has mastered social hacking with grand spectacle builds, and he is also trying to become a storyteller
    I remember when he tweeted that he was about to publish the best video he ever made and even DM’d me saying, “I hope you’re going to be proud of this video.” I wasn't proud of that video, and I'm going to roast his editing and tell him why.

    12:44 This realization that Matthew had means you accomplished something extremely important with this video, Hayden. I’m at a lack of words to express how much UA-cam creators AND strategists need to understand this concept: long form content SHOULDN’T be 10 TikToks edited together, it simply needs to double down on the principles of great storytelling…you are saving UA-cam, one “over-optimized” creator at a time 🙂

  • @johnmaciel
    @johnmaciel Рік тому +7

    Its not just an art form to be able to breakdown and critique someone elses video but make the video of the breakdown itself even more entertaining and keeping me emotionally invested. GD Hayden you're a legend. Can't wait for your course.

  • @GMAceM
    @GMAceM Рік тому +7

    Oh my goodness, I completely resonated with what Matthew said about not trusting people’s attention span. Seeing how everyone is so focused on short form content and how quick cuts and edits keep retention, it’s become harder for me to feel comfortable with making a video that doesn’t have a ton of things happening all the time. But what Matthew said after is also true, if someone clicked seeing it was X quantity of time long then they’re surely interested enough that if you hook them and keep your video promise that they’ll watch the video through to the end. Great video 💯
