I'm really just hoping nobody notices that I referred to Beyoncé as Queen Bey instead of Queen Bee! Thoughts on the "Weird Al" thing? It's personally sparking a lot of joy for me (almost as much joy as discovering weighted blankets)! 🥸🎹✨
You could do far worse than be inspired by Weird Al. He truly is an underappreciated genius. And I've wanted a weighted blanket ever since I've heard they exist.
I have a pair of prescription sunglasses that makes all the greens in nature look more 'amplified'. I think they have a brown tint instead of a gray tint
This was amazing! I like the intro to your “agent”. Very funny, but you also gave a great insight to what goes into a well done video!!! Congratulations on another hit!
CRAIG! That section of the script was largely inspired by our conversation last year. So many great nuggets of wisdom! You know better than most what this job requires. 🥰
I’ve been enjoying your videos. Great editing, obviously, but you’re also quite hilarious. If your editing superpower is any indication, you’re probably a formidable Tetris player too.
YAYAYAYAYAY for a MORGAN appearance!!! YAYYAYYAY for Jerry too! Excellent job! Question: When you use your weighted blanket, does your Sleep Demon get jealous? NOTE to Self: Remind Amy that she left in the Not-Safe-For-Work portion of the Alien Dance ANOTHER NOTE to Self: Find a way to exploit Amy's impressive singing skills for personal gain.
Haha this was great. I've been an editor in the biz most of my life and all of this rings true. My few ramblings: 1: Nice to see Jerry making an appearance 2: Don't think we didn't notice you made Beyonce say 'curated' 3: I think we need to start a fund to get you a variety of coloured toques
I'm reminded of the first thing I ever edited: a Star Wars fan film. I edited it on a 2 gHz processor with 32 MB of RAM using an 80 GB external hard drive using a totally legit copy of Premiere Pro. I showed it to a professional and he said I hadn't color corrected it. "Color corrected it?" I responded. I had no idea what I was doing. It was a miracle I got it done at all. It was then that I decided that editing wasn't a profession but rather a mental disorder that sometimes paid. But so help me, I loved the challenge!
The Alien Dance got me giggling. Super stuff. Thanks for sharing. I regret that I have but one fuck to give; so I'll leave it here. Weighted Blankets, eh? 🤔
I bought that exact type of weighted blanket last week after someone recommended it. Apparently I fight demons using pub kung fu while I'm asleep so it helps. It's something to sing about!
LOL I find it slightly terrifying that every shot of your workspace made perfect sense to me... 🙄 Oh I love editing! For me, I never go into an edit with anything more than a vague idea of where it might go, a notion of how long I want it to end up, and a smattering of bits that I know I really want to keep. It is such a beautifully creative process that I more often than not find the video itself making suggestions, and telling me where it wants to go. LOL in the last episode I did of a game called The Long Drive, one single comment I made while recording about "not wanting to have to drive out across the desert if I can avoid it," became a one minute long old silent movie involving a search for the right old piano music, speeding the footage up to 150%, desaturating it, cranking up the brightness, adding a couple of 15 frame cuts in the middle of bits to mimic the jumpy style of the old movies, doing custom dialogue placards between the cuts, throwing a film damage filter over the end result, and it turned out absolutely brilliant! A pain we all know and love - spending an hour and a half crawling around in rabbit holes just to produce one minute of completed footage. 🤣
Sometimes you see one second or even less long glimpses of what must've taken hours of work 😂. 90 minutes for one minute of result sounds quite efficient.
Digs, I got excited just reading ur description of ur creative process!! It makes me wanna burst out with, “I can relate to this person, I can REALLY relate to this person!!” (a la Sally Field’s early 80s Academy Awards acceptance speech) 😬
It's such a chicken or the egg situation, isn't it? lol Are we drawn to this profession because we're anxious recluses or is that just a byproduct of long hours in front of a screen with limited engagement from outside forces??
I’m crating and editing simple videos lately. And seeing how masterfully this is edited makes me despair 😂. I don’t have the patience or time or ability to focus to be good, so I have to do good enough. Of course if spent more time watching tutorials and practicing, instead of watching UA-cam videos like this… nah who am I kidding 😂
I’ve been on the cusp of wanting to getting into content creation for years. I have spent nearly a decade doing little projects here and there editing for friends and non profits. I’m no where near as talented as you are, but you are inspiring to try more than I am right now. Which will never be accomplishing anything as I ignore it and recluse into the other aspects of my life. Thank you for being you!
Good video. My mind got to wandering about a future meeting with your tax preparer when you're handing them a receipt for weighted blankets and an inflated alien abduction suit and how they probably totally get you and dont even question it
Oh no! I am a day late! Thank you for the video!! :) I noticed Flexibelle was the name of your prompter, and I gotta admit, while it's not the one I voted for on that community poll, now that you said it out loud, I do like the name better loll.
Ok, I admit to walking and thinking the sky is way too blue or walking in the rain and marvelling at the fidelity of the reflections before going back inside. Real life has pretty good graphics.😊
Given how many now have a sponsor I so actively dislike that I unsubscribe if I see it, I'm glad we're safe from that sponsor here. (That sponsor is better help, the ones selling personal data about your mental health to Facebook)
Love your content! The weighted blanket love song really made me smile. Your video editing talents amaze me. I hope you don't mind one small suggestion from a less talented fan: this video could benefit from a de-esser. Maybe something to listen for in the future. As always, looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Thank goodness you're a much better editor than I am, because I'm just figuring it out. This video helped me procrastinate working on a script/outline for a riveting video about drip irrigation, so however you feel about it, know that you've delayed a traumatic experience for people, and UA-cam owes you a debt of gratitude. Just sayin' there's a lot you can grow in containers besides grass. You could touch some delicious cherry tomatoes. I'm going to be touching a lot of cherry tomatoes this year. With consent. Always with consent.
Do I need to see these videos? No. Am I charmed by them? Yes. The creative mind is often dressed up to present a 'thing.' Here? Here a thing is used to provide a space to explore the creative mind. Useless and wonderful.

@@AwkwardAnthemsSo I got curious and went looking, and for me at least, it must have been a season 11 (2000) Simpsons episode, Faith Off. That would make sense given my TV habits at the time (I even wrote a paper about Homer Simpson in high school not long after that episode aired). Maybe not the origin of the concept, but most certainly the bit of culture that got it stuck in my head.
I probably could find some strange items at my home as well but why the hell do you have pink hat, giant fly, giant pencil and oversized scissors (sword I do get)? 🙂
Just props used in previous videos. And also a wink wink nudge nudge to viewers that enjoy the metaphorical Easter Eggs. I sneak a few in every video! 🙂
Humm. I really want you to do well with your channel, that's why i forced me to watch this episode. I don't know much about UA-cam, but it was until 5:36 when the video related to the title and thumbnail. Cheers
Hahaha. I'm in the same boat. "Awkward videos I force myself to watch" is probably describing my engagement the best. But you know what? I'm really starting to love this channel!
Never understood the appeal of a weighted blanket. My Youngest has one and I tried it once. I hate having a cat lay on my chest while I'm trying to sleep, why would I want that sensation over my entire body?
Dear Amy: If you ever find that the stress and anxiety are starting to get the upper hand, I do have a suggestion for a medication that I am personally developing. This is an anti-anxiety medication designed to help put things in perspective. The medication is called "Phukitol". P.S. I actually created an editable prescription document so yes, I and my family have all been prescribed this medication.
@@AwkwardAnthems Side effects include lounging around on the couch all day in a bath robe and slippers watching The Princess Bride, Monte Python, and Mel Brooks movies while eating ice cream.
@@johnbowersox738I'm on a similar regimen, and can vouch. In addition, I find that many of my worst family members no longer attempt to contact me, and thanks to Phukitol, I couldn't care less!

You had me at weighted blankets.
One of my brother Rhys’s friends is (I believe) the son of one of Weird Al’s bandmates!
I noticed it immediately, but I laughed thinking you were being cheeky.
Smashing. Truly. 🤯
You could do far worse than be inspired by Weird Al. He truly is an underappreciated genius. And I've wanted a weighted blanket ever since I've heard they exist.
Ok the notification finally seems to working! Amazing video! I love the meta aspect of editing a video about editing videos :))
Oooh- happy to hear on the notifications! Glad you liked the extra dose of meta too. 😃
Ok, the blue saturation gag made me crack up. I was doing my normal photo editing when i was was watching, and yup, i am totally guilty of that.
Lol! I wish real life came with cooler buttons and presets. Maybe I'd get out more! 🤓
I have a pair of prescription sunglasses that makes all the greens in nature look more 'amplified'. I think they have a brown tint instead of a gray tint
These videos continue to have some of the slickest editing I've seen on youtube! Just splendid! :)
Aww, thanks! That means a lot. 🥰
I was not prepared for the head reveal at 3:25. I thought your hat WAS the hair.
Who is this for? Well I think the weighted blanket audience is large.
Most people: what?
The right people: This checks out.
This was amazing! I like the intro to your “agent”. Very funny, but you also gave a great insight to what goes into a well done video!!! Congratulations on another hit!
Thanks, Positivity! And I agree. I hope he'll be making more appearances. He's so talented! 🤗

It's not just video editor either. It's sometimes scriptwriter, producer, director, actor and probably more I haven't thought of.

So are all of us video editors anxious little recluses? 😂 i enjoy getting a better view of your perspective on vids like these. Keep crushing it.
It's such a chicken or the egg situation, isn't it? lol Are we drawn to this profession because we're anxious recluses or is that just a byproduct of long hours in front of a screen with limited engagement from outside forces??
Although we are in completely different niches, I really appreciate your videos. You give me so much inspiration for edits.
Aww, happy to hear that! Your reaction content is great, btw. 🙂
Thank you Amy's agent and thank you Amy for your hard work that makes my day better every time I see it :D
Thanks, Resileaf! I'm hoping we can make the agent bit a recurring one. Denny's great! Glad you enjoyed it.

the very small amount of bad editing I do and I relate just enough to feel pain for you
Can I recommend adjusting the high end on your audio EQ so that your "s" 's are not so piercing?
