    I react to Dude Perfect's "Dude Perfect Corn Maze | Nerf Battle" and give my professional experience to analyse and break down why this video is so good, it's so good guys.
    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.
    And exploring the editorial process for other UA-cam channels in how they have optimised their content. I’m even going to take you through my journey where I experiment on how I can become a better editor and learn through my experiences.
    Whatever it is that I do on this channel, I hope you can learn something and discover your own ability on being a content creator yourself.

    Hey! Turns out they had drones that were automatically tracking them, thank you for the correction!
    Give the automatic tracking drones a raise?

    • @skyrhinomedia8720
      @skyrhinomedia8720 3 роки тому +17

      They do automatically track, but from the distances they were at, the tracking loses people pretty easily, so you weren't entirely wrong. I also would have been tempted (as a drone operator myself) to just get cool shots like you had said rather than focusing on establishing shots. Good stuff Hillier, maybe one day I'll get to your level!

    About the Logo delay: A years-long Dude Perfect viewer, I've come to expect the title card. Its not bad, just part of Dude Perfect's brand. Their fanbase is massive and hangs on all of their videos. I don't expect they loose any die-hard viewers with that. Also, because DP's videos are so energetic and 'bouncy', the title card can be interpreted as the final audience "breath" before the video. The calm before the storm, the "buckle up" moment, the "hold on to your hats."

    LOL, on three to four of your videos I thought to myself "These are packed with useful info, I am gonna add this to a specific playlist", then realized that every single video you put out is a gem, so it wasn't necessary, as all I need to do is remember your channel name. One of the best channels on YT, by far. Keep up the good work man.
    Also, no-go on the 8 second logo that you were asking about in the video. Honestly, no intro, or an intro that is 1-3 seconds is ideal. You want them to see who you are, and remember it, but not be bogged down by the time it takes to deliver that information.

    They are like a tv show in how people tune in every week expecting the same result they had the last time.
    People love familiarity. With a twist.
    Plus brand recognition. For me it’s not just a video it’s a business asset.
    That’s at least what I think coming from an advertising background and spending around a million a month in ads.

Now I have a question, how other kinds of content can apply for example, the part where the twins talk to each other. you say audiences knowing something that the others don't makes it more engaging, if the video doesn't have many characters how can we apply this? could you make a video reacting to other kinds of content that perform great but are not specifically adventure content? or is it too much to ask ahhahha

    I think the intro makes you feel like you’re at home with family. Matt Carickar (might be spelled wrong) does an outro on Demolition Ranch and a different one on Off The Ranch that replays fun times and when he got an intro for Off The Ranch i was like, cool.
