I broke out in laughter when he said "I block 2 hours a day off for writing...and sometimes I don't write anything, I just think 😂" soo good to know we're not the only ones struggling with that
It sounds like a joke but isn't when some writers say that sitting there thinking is part of the writing process!
I’ve paid for CZcams classes and books and watched plenty of Film Booth but something tonight just clicked watching this.
Not sure why it’s taken so long
We’ve got to take the boring necessary idea and transforming into something interesting, entertaining every single time
yeah its like... his meta explaining his explanations help me better understand his explanations.
Unfortunately mostly we prioritize entertainment (feeling good) over value. Go to trick them like Ed says
That's exactly what he doesn't do.
It’s called “A carrot covered in chocolate”. I learned about it not so long ago.
I felt the same when he said "package it as what they want, and give them what they need". He said it elsewhere, and it was hammered home today. Really feeling confident after watching Ed's recent stuff.
Ed's exceptionally good at what he does - learned a lot
Yeah i’ve gone down the rabbit hole and feel like a REAL amateur
100%. I took Ed's Edutainer's course and I'm still learning. He understands YT out many levels deeper than me.
@@CreatorScienceYTwell I've subscribed to you both as a result so thanks.
Well, it's all fun and games until you want to find the video he did about a topic but can't remember the thumbnail or title that went with it and can't search for it 😂 But yes, I know I enjoy his videos and they are valuable so I watch them all as soon as I see them, definitely great at getting returning viewers!
He is, one of the top scammers a liars on CZcams, but great at self marketing and selling hot air
Two best points from this; you need to be able to make something boring into something interesting & and that building a community of valued followers is way more important that getting heaps of views.
Right, but I'm still confused as to whether we should be aiming for high views, in order to get more leads into our businesses. He seems quite ambiguous on that point. I think aiming to get new people in by creating a video with broader appeal, if not every video then some videos, is a good way to tell the algorithm to pay more attention to you and find more of your ideal viewer. But, hey, Ed is great.
Ed is a legend. I implemented some of his ideas in one of my latest videos and the feedback I have received from my regular viewers has been super-positive.
Which video and what you implemented?
YES! Anytime I randomly search for video ideas, this dude always comes up. He has such great advice!
Film Booth is my favorite CZcams training channel. I've watched most of his videos. But this is by far my favorite - he really explains what I've experienced when watching his videos. It finally sunk in. This was awesome! It's like a complete roadmap. THANKS!
The only issue I have with this clickbait title trend is that sometimes I find it hard to find the content I actually want. If I want to search for lighting techniques the best video might never show up because its called "stop wrecking your interviews"
Or worse it does but I don't see it as relevant. It's a fine line that the absolute pros make look so easy when it just isn't haha😂
Great content as always
Guys you absolutely smashed this ep! So much value shared by Ed.
Appreciate you probing further into the nuance Jay.
Real gems in here. Feel like I just went through an intro into Ed’s main course. So good.
I got SOOO much from this video, kept my pen & highlighters moving non-stop watching this one! So excited to utilize what I've learned here on this 1 particular "idea" that's been brewing in my head for months & needs to be made into a video for my niche / community. Thanks a ton to you both!
I’ve got to come back to this video often. It was surprisingly educational. I could wrap up of years of knowledge I’ve been learning on CZcams.
Ed helped me level up 4 sure and ge5 my 1st viral long form vid w 600k
The incredible irony here is that I like Film Booth's content, but I don't watch much because of the titles! Same for VidIQ: I can't tell what the video is really about, so I skip it.
last 2 episodes are so on point. thanks for sharing Jay, completely changed my perspective
Great questions!!! You literally asked him the stuff that I was wondering the most!
And especially props on digging deep on Ed's process and the time spent!
Didn’t know about you or Film Booth before this popped up on my feed. You did something right with the thumbnail and title because it got me to watch and I ended up following both of you. Very solid interview. Thanks!
Ed's a genius. I happily watched his videos WAY before I thought about starting a channel just because he's so entertaining. I was (and am still) far more interested in his editing because it's brilliant.
It's interesting how much I learned here about his process HERE after watching so many videos about the process.
Eye-opening conversation. Ed’s expertise and Jay asking the right questions gave us a ton of valuable info.
Great interview Jay! Ed has nailed the CZcams game, I remember him first appearing on my CZcams Home Screen and he’s grown and evolved so much. You’re both a huge inspiration for me personally and the journey I’m about to embark on (finally stopped procrastinating 😅)
Absolute treasure!! Loved every minute of this!! It was invaluable to learn about so many nuances in detail. Extremely GRATEFUL, thank you Jay & Ed❤️❤️
LOVE the detail. You swapped 70/20 to 45/45 as he reconsidered, even though he said 50/50, because of course you gotta film something, and dang what a long sentence, but it was so satisfying.
I'm a big fan of Ed's and now I'm a fan of you. You did a great job interviewing him and pulling great tidbits out. I keep watching Ed tell me I'm boring but don't want to take the time to make my videos more fun. The time is now. New Sub.
This was a fantastic video. I've been a fan of Ed for a while now, he delivers information in such a powerful way. You did a great job with this interview.
This video is pure gold! I learned so much, thank you!
This is a phenomenal episode. Many thanks to you both. 🙌
One of the best CZcams guide videos of 2023
That means a lot!
Thanks for this! This was super interesting. I really love your interview style and questioning. So much value!
Hey Jay, been a follower of Ed for awhile and watched this because of him. Checked out your other content. Great collaboration. I am looking forward to going and watching the rest of your content.
Another great interview, Jay! Ed and the Film Booth channel is one I always watch and refer people to. There have been videos that he has drawn me in until the end and I'm like "What? That's the end??!" He's a great CZcams, storyteller and visual creator. Thanks for sharing this highly valuable conversation with us!
Good stuff. Storytelling is a crucial aspect of creating engaging and successful videos on CZcams. Being able to deliver a good story can help you connect with your audience on an emotional level and keep them hooked till the end.
these interviews are packed with knowledge. great work!
Glad you like them!
Love this episode! It is loaded with so many awesome tips! THANK YOU!!
Thanks Katie! Watched till the end, enjoying the vlogs with the bits of wisdom! Keep going your content inspires me :)
Incredibly helpful and clear conversation -- thanks to you both for sharing!
wow this one is just jam packed with great insights from Ed; excellent interview and questions as well Jay!
Great interview Jay, questions were in point! And Ed was super informative.. 🎉
One of the very best vids on this topic ever! Thank you
Great interview! His teaching style, ideas, and concepts are so unique. I don't think my channel would be here today without Ed's knowledge. I do exactly what he aims for with his channel, I binge his content
Glad to hear that😊
Jay these videos/interviews are gold! Everything a creator REALLY wants to know. Great work!
Glad you like them!
Great interview. It's amazing how many of these insights could easily apply to strategies for any social content platform. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making these videos Jay, this is incredible helpful and inspiring!
Thank you.... This is VERY valuable information.
Really great video Jay, super awesome breakdown and it was insanely helpful to be able to understand actually looks like for a CZcamsr doing this full-time
This was exceptional and I can't wait to start his cohort in a few days time. So much to learn!!
Fantastic video. Loved the questions & responses. Very interesting and informative!
The amount of value in this video is incredible!!!
Thanks for breaking down Ed's thinking. I watch and enjoy his videos, but your interview made it clear to me: in my content, I merely provide lists and need to inject interest and stories. Thanks, Jay!
I love Ed, he's someone that has reflected a loooot about youtube, great questions really, same as with Paddy Galloway, gret job man, keep up! 💪💪
Outstanding video! Thank you
Excellent interview! So many great take aways from this!
Amazing interview! Thank you 🙏
Ed is my favorite CZcamsr rn
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Great info
I've been binging Ed's stuff for so long, I don't even remember when I first found him. And, when he said "mine are!" with such confidence (to the comment about assuming the viewers are smart), my heart soared a little. 🤣
Thank you so much for this interview! Your questions were insightful and really got me thinking, and Ed, it was great seeing your behind the scenes process - to see that you have to work through the same types of challenges really made me feel like less of a freak. ;) Sometimes I just assume that everyone else has got it all figured out, and it's encouraging to hear that I'm not alone & that even though it may never really go away, I will get better the more that I learn and practice.
so glad you enjoyed it!
Another amazing guest and interview thanks
I am a grandma, I tell stories weekly to encourage n uplift people, I have received encouraging feedback. I feel though like it's the same people coming back weekly, how do I get new people to watch? Blessings ❤
Great interview with Ed. Everything Ed says is absolutely spot on. I discovered him a few months ago and am using his teaching to transform my flagging channel. Watch and learn from this and you won't go wrong...
Ed is very creative with some cool ideas. I’m also enjoying your interviewing of content creators.
I have watched many videos from various channels on these topics, and from this video I got some of the best nuggets, thank you..I have some changes to my process to make
Putting your ego a side and staying humble haha, this is one for the best videos I have seen out there explaining how to retain peoples attention physiologically to your videos and explains how they think. This video give a lot of knowledgeable information and i thank you for sharing this. I will take this on board for my future videos and have already watched the video 20 times and took a lot of notes on each of the topics you have explained. Thanks for the video keep up the good work :)
Yup, Ed is right, I have always binge watched atleast 3 videos back to back whenever I start watching his videos..I realized it now how effective that is..thanks bro n cheers🍻
I enjoyed this interview. Ed is awesome
I love Ed's videos, he's so good at what he does.
Rock solid episode. Great reframing
I have just add a playlist "best for inspiration" to fit this such powerfull podcast.
Thak you guys so much for such a great content.
Good interview and content, many thanks 🎉
Great conversation and ideas!
You guys are life savers!
Pure freakin gold. Ed is a beast
such a good and informative video. Thanks for this interview
Thank you! I'm definitely a boring person, now I know what I can work on to cure this issue to be more engaging with my viewers.
Great video Jay!! Lots of great advice in there! Awesome channel!
thanks for checking us out!
i wish this video was like 2 hrs lol. so helpful. great work Jay!
4th time watching this, adding notes to my script template. Ed is the goat
Very nice rhythm and I love the break ad, tv pro!
Learned a ton - thanks Ed and Jay :D
THANK YOUU for this. i always use to feel bad for telling stories especially my personal storeis in fear of making it "too much bout me" !
This was a really good video I didn’t know I needed to watch
Thank you for this. I definitely need to apply more storytelling even on my tech CZcams channel 😊
Challenging but possible 💪
Wow very cool vid. Love how so honest you both are. This is 101 marketing....making something very boring sound sooo exciting !!
Ed is the best youtube educator ever him and think media are just perfection
I’ve learned so much from guys like Ed , still learning..
this interview was epic. watching again.
Fantastic Episode !
I like your channel Jay, and I love having Film Booth in on your videos!
This was a masterclass!!
Ed is one of my favorites! The guy is so smart
Very much valuable episode...thanks for this..as a beginner I enjoy my channel journey hopefully after 2-3 years from now it will grow..love lot's
Love this! And love Ed's work. And Liv's too.
Great interview 👍. Your questions got to the core of Ed's approach. I needed a lift after the shock of Nate-gate.
I make tutorials so it's an interesting challenge how to incorporate stories - Ed's soup story showed me how a story hijacks the viewer's brain better even than the momentary effect of a question.
This video answered my big question.
Glad to hear it!
Can't wait to watch this!!!
Man, Ed can come up with a great intro - something I would aspire to - just as a rough example. 👏
All of your interviews provide so much value! During these interviews where do you keep your questions (paper, on computer) as there is an ease to your conversations? How about if it was in-person (paper, teleprompter)? Thanks for the awesome content.
Such a great interview on storytelling and how to make interesting videos and NOT boring ones! LOL!
Ed gives metaphors about using metaphors. Love it.
😅😂
I love Jay and Ed. Ed is so great in teaching
Jay....loving this bro....new to CZcams....in terms of growing your community...
I'm a big fan of Film Booth. Very good content, thank you so much!
