Description:
Is it possible for an amateur who’s more at home with UA-cam videos than Hollywood, to craft a trailer that doesn’t just fall flat?
Inside the Video:
The Challenge: I've got a short film, penned and produced by my girlfriend Ashley. She's handed it over with a simple yet daunt
ing task: edit this film and make a trailer. Easy, right? Well, let's see about that.
From Amateur to Aspiring Editor: Follow my journey as I navigate the uncharted waters of Hollywood-style trailer editing. No sugar-coating, just the raw and real process of transforming a short film into a trailer that might just be worth watching.
For the Creative Minds: Whether you’re a filmmaker, an editor, a UA-camr, or just someone who loves a good story, there’s something in this for you. Watch the transformation from a few clips to a coherent, stylish story.
The Real Talk: No fluff. Just a straightforward depiction of the trials and tribulations of editing a film with zero Hollywood experience.
The Outcome: Will this trailer be a hit or a miss? You be the judge.

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. - Розваги
The full movie is now available to watch FOR FREE on UA-cam

What a valuable 30 minutes. You don’t find much of this real-time decision making much on UA-cam and it’s so cool seeing it come together! Only thing I disagree with is the flashing coronavirus headlines before the comedic reveal, but this was a fantastic trailer
Totally agree. The one thing I'd change is those headlines. Hits harder without them. In my opinion.
Showing the process so raw like this is amazing. Thank you Hayden 🙌🏼
Some unsolicited feedback on the beginning:
Felt like I was in the party scene too long. Could it go:
“one minute to 2020…woooo…2020 is going to be my year, I’m going to do everything right” then the roommates saying
“can’t believe we live with an extrovert, the plant joke” - she interrupts - “3…2…1!” hard cut to news report.
That might still establish the conflict of introverts having to quarantine with an extrovert.
Thank you for all this free advice and such entertaining videos
Interesting! I a actually quite like that match flash cut of the headline 🤓
Great to see your process. Looking forward to seeing the film!
Hayden, I just want to say thank You for teaching all of us editors that are just starting how to edit for sharing this precious knowledge with us. It really means a lot :)
A couple weeks ago I was talking to my 12 year old niece and mentioned video editing. “I love doing that! I do the Trailers thing in iMovie!”
I had long forgotten iMovie had the trailers editing mode and soon recalled it being my first intro to editing. Trailers are the coolest thing to kids. OF COURSE that is their first editing project!
This video is a stepping stone for future generations. It will send ripples that will rise to tsunamis in our lifetime.
i love this, been making movie type trailers for a while love your spin and how you break it down!
This was so fun to watch that I didn't even notice it was a 30 minute video. Love this kind of videos where you breakdown the editing process, it's insane how much knowledge you have for editing and thank you for sharing it with us!
A really interesting insight into your thought process. Thank you!
HAHAH! Even when you get this video edited you make me laugh with your comedy style. "I can't put that in the video" 😂
This video was amazing! Not only because of all the tips I can take after seeing all the decisions you make while editing the trailer, but also because of the way you tell how you did it. Not only do you apply as many rules as I know about storytelling to what you show that you edit, but also to what we are seeing and that is incredible
Love this Hayden. It was so fun working with you on the film!
This was AWESOME!! I really enjoyed getting to see your process in making this trailer. Definitely gonna have to watch the whole thing
You are amazing dude!! I like so much your editing style and your videos on youtube. THANK YOU FOR DOING VIDEOS FOR US !🤩
This is GOLD!
Absolutely brilliant Hayden, I love these editing breakdown videos. Not only are they entertaining but the hold so much valuable information that we can then take to our own edits. You’ve actually made me want to watch the film now so I’ll keep an eye out on the 20th.
Dude, you are so good at what you do!!! I never really thought about how much work goes into developing a catchy trailer. Awesome work bud!🔥🔥🔥💪 Looking forward to the film🤞
great video! So educational.
Wow, seeing you actually creating a trailer like this in the edit has great impact on my motivation right now. Thanks. Just came a long while in a kreativ down with my own edit. Love the idea of creating this Trailer in a "realtime" Video. Good job;)
Ive seen people in your comments for a couple years ask for a step by step editing guide, and i think this is EXACTLY what they were looking for. Fantastic job!
Thanks a lot for most valuable video. ❤
Can't wait. This edit was awesome !!
I love this channel! So many things I can learn about editing!
Hayden, thank you for all the advice through out the years. You have made me 1,000 times better at editing then if I were to never come accross your channel.
I love your content and will defiantly watch this short film when you release it!
Every video is a masterclass. Thank you
What a refreshing video - real content - real editing!! Thank you.
thank you so much. I need more content for detail on Editing like this.
LOVED this breakdown of your process. Thanks! 😀
Such a valuable video Hayden. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great edit and advice Hayden! Appreciate your insight in how to pick out story elements to make a fun and cohesive trailer.😄
I'll watch it. Love the trailer!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, your content is freaking gold !
This video was awesome. So cool to see real time decisions
Loved this, would watch this type of content over and over again. 🎉
Love you bro
Make more like this ❤
What's brilliant about this video is that you made an advertisement for a movie way more fun and interesting to watch than any trailer I've ever seen, great job! It doesn't even feel like I'm watching an ad.
Amazing, Hayden. With every piece of content you make, I leave feeling like I have learned something valuable. You break things down with such detailed and easy-to-understand explanations, especially for this art form, which can surpass words. Best UA-camr ever.
I love you man this is amazing, learned a lot! GJ!
These kinds of videos really help me learn about whats good and bad when it comes to editing!
Love your videos dude.. entertaining and delivers value 🎉🎉
I actually loved that trailer, haha. I'd watch that movie. BTW, you are one of my favorite editors on UA-cam. Very inspiring.
I am extremely grateful that every new video you upload I learn so much and it changes my perspective on my next projects
Amazing edit and explanations ...and great ideas to even improve the trailer (when I thought it can actually not be any better).
06:43 I don't need friends, i've got anime
That killed me 😆
the playing around with the music is so relatable xD
Broooo this is sooo good
Love the honesty bestie
Never hurts to learn more to become a video editor. Thanks dude for this video. It means a lot and inspires me to keep going.
I’m just starting editing videos for my jobs social media and your content has been wildly helpful. This video was so freaking good
20th December. Noted. I will see what the hype is about. This isn't the first time I see this movie on your channel. It must be fun
There he is! I need this creative input! Thanks!
This is very interesting to watch!
You’ve made some great decisions here. I have a couple minor notes but I think you’ve definitely accomplished the two goals of a movie trailer.
Always ready to learn more, hit me with those notes
@@HillierSmith My only comment is that 2 minutes is too long for this film. 1-1:30 could have been more effective, a bit more uplifting, more cheerful. Hollywood trailers are over the top for a reason. The film should be sold. The point of a trailer is to grab your attention and hold it, as if you were originally sitting in the theater for a horror movie. Personally, I don't even like it when the trailer gives away the entire plot of the movie. Nice work though:)
It's really good to have those moments where we can see the video before you see something that can be better and them you make the changes and them, see it again.
It just shows how lthe changes affects more directly.
Good video as always, I don't like to see movies being an editor xD, but probably I will take a look on that one
your videos have consistently become bangers
Amazing process
Thanks men❤❤❤
Hayden fantastic video as always! Could you share with us where you acquired your act structure knowledge? I know there’s a lot of resources out there but it would be great to know where learned about it. Cheers!
i did learn amazing!!!
Hayden you are Fantastic bro, i love it this trailer and you're edition, very very cool man, congrats for you and Ashley, Ashley is AMAZING!
Ohhh damn! When did you move to Premiere?
I would love to watch this Film!
aye Doodle was mostly right about the pacing and beats of the behind the scenes video. Great video~! you're the best! (for now....) Loved the pay off at the end of her watching the trailer with you and seeing your subtitle reactions to her lack of reactions then the moment after it's all done.
Youre my editing dad for a reason. I loved it❤😊
I lost it laughing at the linken park track. So much fun to watch this process. Love your stuff
how does this not more popular rn. hidden gem
Holy shit you are a genius with this stuff, I’m primarily a short form creator and learned a lot of the tricks that keep people engaged for short durations, but I’ve been trying my hand with some long form and this is super useful, it seems that the priority above all else is the story telling - I’ll definitely take what I learned here and implement it - thank you so much for sharing and keep up the amazing work! It gives people like me who didn’t go to school for film (I went for finance) opportunities to learn real and valuable information. Seriously amazing job !!!
Fab Fab Fab!!! Interested why the switch to premiere pro for this?
I see lots of trailers use footage they eventually cut from the movie, and i like it
Awesome and informative as always (seriously mate, yours and Jordan's videos have revolutionized my edits)! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. quick question, when I create, I normally start with the music and add the clips to match the music. But in this you did the clips, then the music. does it all fall to preference at the end of the day?
Music choice was spot on👏👏
half an hour in one breath. wow) It was cool !)
This video is so Helpful! Thank you Hillier!
you havent even watched this lol
@@OoferSAnimations I have now! XD
Love these videos, don't know if it's correct but I would have thought a consistent beat throughout (even when music isn't playing) so it always lands on the same beat when it comes back in would improve the flow lightly?
This video is invaluable to me as an aspiring trailer editor ❤❤
I have learned more about editing here than in any other cheesy tutorial out on youtube
Had to give you a like just on the way you answered the question you proposed. It felt interactive and honest.
I don't want to believe that you are inexperienced. You are a complete master of this field. By the way, I am following you from Turkey. Best regards.
Best 30 minute trailer I've seen.
i never thought i'd live to see the day where hayden is using premiere pro
I think the thing that makes hollywood trailer sound design from other mediums is just how fast they cut the music. Like, viva la vida is a great choice, but it needs to be something like...
The fireworks scene shows as the song starts, cut right to the violins "duh duh duh, duh duh, duh," cut right to "Oh oh aaah oh ahh" but quiet in the background of the party. Have those adlibs going during the talking, then at the next big sequence cut to "hear Jerusalem bells a' ringing", then boom effect, music cuts, the scene where they shake on being f buddies that share a bathroom.
You're a f@&£king genius. Learned so much
What a great ad❤
This movie actually looks interesting. I would love to watch it
Thanks for this great breakdown of the process! Two questions --
1. How long did this take you to cut? Did you do it in a day as your wardrobe suggests?
2. What changes did Ashley have, if any? We all know the first viewing with the "client" can just be the start of a whole new process of notes and refining.
While I may not delve into serious editing myself, I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the fascinating thought process behind it and seeing the creative pieces come together. As someone unfamiliar with the editing, I wonder whether, when she declares '2020 is going to be my year,' the impact might be more powerful without the follow-up 'I'm going to make everything right.' The first statement is very strong and the second sentence somewhat dilutes its impact. Just a thought from a viewer with zero editing skills And, of course, me suggesting edits to you would be the joke of the year...
Damn, I actually want to see this movie.
I love how he instantly just answers the question the moment we click
Had not the time to watch full video, but i'm curious, did you left Final cut for premiere pro? Or you switch software for different projects?
I think he switched that way because of working with bigger creators likes Mr. Beast who have HELLA editors
@@GooseCee he had an Interview with Think Media and he said he personally uses Final Cut, but for clients, he uses Premiere
We love to see Hayden and Premiere togethah 💙🔥😂
FINE OKAY AM SOLD! I want to see this movies SO BADD😭
its over already? damn, it felt like 5 min of a video and I didnt skip 1 bit
The concept is good in my opinion, but the acting doesn't feel deep, and its superficial, almost cliche. I think a extrovert character dramatizing being friends with their roommate and attempting this like they're forced to do this seems very contradicting and doesn't fit imo, I can't see why a extrovert character would find a conflict within doing what they love. Its like making a story of a doctor who finds difficult this one patient just for the sake of the story. Sure, if the patient was somebody who they find attractive, or is some old school bully, something, but the story you're trying to tell doesn't really make the other characthers shes sorrounded by special. If they were celebrities, or were some old friends she had, something new, theyre just random people she shares house with, and she is a extrovert. The conflict just doesnt make sense. If you're introducting a extrovert person within a introverted household, make them atleast be excited about being friends with the other people, get fun with it. Maybe it's just me, but I felt its all so unreal... and maybe cliche? The story would've been better if the story was all the way around, 3 extroverts and 1 introvert, and the themes are flipped. Maybe it's just me though and I didn't find the story behind this very exciting because of the character dynamics :/
French Exam tomorrow, my last one! I know what to watch afterwards ;)
Loved watching your process, and looking forward to the actual movie: Friends 2020. (edited to add, I named it in my head before I saw the title, obviously. Actual title is way better. 😂)
I know the feeling when you show someone your edit and then you hold your breath waiting for a reaction 😂
Spoke my words bro 😂😂😂
18:43 I'm glad to see Hayden you're embracing the meme!
First thing that came to mind when I saw the cats: "Scutt is gonna say something about this for sure". Also the hit drums at 22:30 are too similar to vine boom.
@@alejolab my influence is growing
this is good...
you made a story about making a story thats some story-ception
“The ginger character” 😂
