SWEET! 🍭
dude this was amazing men
do proper subtitles. it will help a lot while watching the video
😊😊😊
Just something I noticed in the beginning the music and visuals picked up a bit too early and distracted me from what you were saying to the point where I actually didn’t hear it at all
(use the visuals to reinforce your point not crowd it)
Oh man, this is such a brilliant video! Insane work from both you and James! Thanks for getting me involved 😎
fin, get outta here!
Facts
Hey Finzar, great to have you with us
Any time!
We just need Salesman Fin to enter the comments now
Hack 1: Use intrigue
Hack 2: Challenge the viewer’s beliefs
Hack 3: Use images of famous people
Hack 4: To prevent clickbait, feature clips of said famous person at the start of the video
Hack 5: Use contrast
Hack 6: Keep to 3 main colours
Hack 7: Test a few thumbnails / Use prediction AI Creator ML
Thank u kind man. I was about to watch the whole video again just for this
@@cyborgtz4031 let it run anyway, it deserves the views :)
Great videos mate! Useful for even large creators
This guy thinks he’s a big CZcamsr HAHAHAHA
Jkjk I luv u dude ur such an inspiration but u def just got ignored haha
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it :)
The Goonies vibe is strong with this one and I absolutely love it! 😀🎥👌
I knew I couldn't be the only one hearing that! Such a vibe 😃
I know this is supposed to inspire me, Ed, but James put so much effort into the thumbnail that I'm exhausted at the idea of doing this for my channel.
I am an expert in my field. I share my knowledge simply to help others. But the idea of spending hours and hours in a desperate attempt to get others to help themselves...
...
God. I don't know. Maybe after 2+ years of beating my head against the CZcams wall and still not getting monetized just trying to help others means I should just give up.
After all, Diablo 4 and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just came out.
...
All my belly-aching aside, this was a positively fantastic video, gentlemen!
Excellent video!! Insights galore🔥 ... and Goonies music🎶🙌
I’ve been working on improving my thumbnails a lot this year but I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. Thanks for the awesome hacks!
I feel that. The psychology alone could be an entire college course. 😅
Wow you really stepped up the production yet again in this video. I felt more entertained in this video than any of your other ones. Great work man
Loved this video! Really refreshing to see all the fun parts mixed into the process too. Great job Ed and James
I wish I could describe how much these videos help and how good they are where it feels like I'm not watching a tutorial, I've been watching many of your videos and I'm serious and trying to grow my channel. I've learned so much and I just want to thank you, because one day, I'm going to be big on YT
This is so true...I spend hours sometimes making various versions of my thumbnails to only then come up with totally different idea at the last minute and go with that.
And amazingly, a great thumbnail on a "less than stellar" video will invariably outperform a mediocre thumbnail on a great video.
So yeah, make better thumbnails! Easier said than done 😅
I wanted to say : Thank you for all your Videos and the Hard work you put in them for us, i am still new to this, but with your guidance, tips and help you make our confusing and frustrating times actually enjoyable ☺
Dude, these videos are so good. Can't wait to apply all this on my next thumbnails!
This was actually brilliant. I've never watched a tutorial or educational video that had me this engaged. I aspire to make content at this level. Thanks for sharing!
I watch all your videos. I don’t think I’d know half the things I do if not for you. Please never stop!
Hi Ed, I think that’s not only I’ve been learning a lot from your videos, but I learnt a lot more on how to improve audience retention by studying your style! Thanks so much! I started few vids ago to add graphics on my videos, but more on a Finzar style. Hi Finzar 👋. But thanks to you I found out that memes aren’t really perfect for my audience so I now decided to film my Brolls and use something more standard. Although since the introduction of graphics my videos went from a record of %30 retention to %60+ on my last video 😮. Can’t wait to beat my own new record 😊.
Changing the colours on the clothing in thumbnails seems so obvious now you've said but is actually so genius! Inspiring video as always 😊
You’re a genius.
I just realised that this is why car channels such as @Carwow would have a different colour vehicle in the thumbnail than the one they’re actually reviewing.
🤯
This was SUCH A BANGER! So interesting. I cant wait to test this out on my videos!
Outstanding 🎉🎉
One of the best video that gave a bag full of satisfaction..
lv ya mate..❤
Just love this combo, Ed and James duo... Question, does the idea for video come first then look at Thumbnail inspiration on other channels, or look at thumbnails to provide fuel for a video idea?
Another video that I'm saving to come back to again (and again) as I get further into my journey. Thanks for this video!
Bloody brilliant, Ed. Thank you!!
We loved the pace of this video! What a production! We learned a shedload too including how to quickly draw a rocket. I'm curious about this thumbnail university now. We need our thumbnail person to enroll. 🙂 - Josh & Kalie
It's true, CZcams has basically become thumbnail wars😂
Excellent and informative video as always! Love your channel and how you make your videos. By the way the first thing that caught my eye in your video was your posters in the background :) those are awesome!! Have a great day and looking forward to the next one :)
As always. Lovin ya work Ed. Thanks for the vid and tips!
I absolutely love your videos mate. I'm learning so much. Thanks a lot! 🙌
Masterful as always. No one comes close when it comes to educational content presented in an entertaining way 👌
Always loved your content, also noticed a huge quality jump on this video visually!
I absolutely love your storytelling. Thanks for all of the great tips!
Learned so much in such a short amount of time. This is amazing, thank you Ed!
Great video! Been watching you and Finzar for a long time now
This was really cool Ed, Cheers for sharing it! Stay safe, have fun! 👍😁
That was awesome. Solid information, entertaining story and great humour.
Amazying video dude, this just shows how important thumbnails are to a video!
Wow, that video was a blast! Packed with awesome tips for both seasoned and new CZcamsrs especially, Hack#2 on 'Intrigue' which I think totally connects with the first one, 'Creating emotions.' because you need intrigue to develop emotions and vice versa.
((P.S: James did the thumbnails like one of his French girls 🤣))
Loved that video so much I genuinely didn't want it to end! 👏👏
That was quite the journey! Loved every minute of it. Nice work guys 🚀
Thanks a ton!
Bro your content is exceptional wtf
Thank you :)
Brilliant! Both in knowledge and the storytelling. 👏
Thanks :) think this was the most enjoyable video ive made to date
Taking instructional videos to new levels 🐐🐐🐐
Cheers Kris
The B-roll at 3:50 had me laughing out loud - such a hilarious bit just in the background of the voice over. Subscribed for that incredible attention to detail alone. Thanks for all the valuable tips!
Awesome video! I love the music, makes it feel very extra fun and engaging.
Fantastic video! Surprised no one noticed the Chromebook accessory with Windows logo though 😂
Fantastic video - great job Ed!
Watched one of your videos. Enough to make me subscribe, I find it not easy to try get monetized but so happy that other creators give so much great advice
Fantastic videos buddy. You couldn’t have picked a better topic! You make it easy to understand and get value from. Thanks!🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻👍🏻
You did it on this video. You hook us into this video without realizing it. Good work.
Love the 1980’s goodie references, I had to watch your vid twice just for that 😂👍
Dude, your videos are so fun and so informative. Keep. It. Uppppppp
Really enjoyed this one! Thanks guys!
Love this and love the background music - GOONIES!
This has to be the best video on thumbnail design out there!
Thanks!! Theres not enough of them out there seeing how big a problem it is
Bro, the more I go through this video, I see that you went on a whole Goonies kick with some of the music. ❤❤
Love the colour grading in this
That was soooo well done!!! Thank you!
Ok… I love your videos regardless of music, but my 80s childhood LOVED the Goonies music in this. ❤️
Thank you for the early video nightmare fuel! XD Fantastic video!
That is such a crisp thumbnail. I would’ve definitely been on the fence about which one was made by Marques. Thumbnails are my weakest point and this is a reminder of how much work could go into making one. Not sure if I’m happy or sad about that but I am sure that I’m still learning and I’ve got a long way to go.
Edit: oh and glad James didn’t have to get his ear pierced and lose his job
i normally don’t comment. your videos are so enjoyable that i need to pause before i get up and grab a snack bc i don’t wanna miss your epic visuals
Great one Ed❤
This was an amazing video!
I have made a load of notes and now hopefully my Thumbnails will be a lot better
Haven’t watched past the 10 second mark yet and I already know this is amazing.
I love your videos and always learn new but I run a gaming channel so sometimes the tips in the videos don't feel quite as relevant because filming people is different than recording in-game footage. Some of the concepts still apply but it would be really cool to see your take on editing gameplay videos and thumbnails even if it's not something you're as experienced with. You likely know some big gaming channels that you could possibly collaborate with. Thanks for the amazing content! Big fan!
I dont actually work with gaming channels, sadly Film Booth videos are all designed for educators. Im glad you got value from them but the channel wont cover a gaming channel as it's not really my forte
@@FilmBoothdo you know any channels that cover reaction based content creators?
Great video. Thank you. I started my channel in August and used Fiverr freelancers to make thumbnails and after a while I used the knowledge I built up as well as studying the designs of the freelancers' designs and started designing my own thumbnails. I'm not convinced my thumbnails create intrigue though but one thing I am very satisfied with is that it totally delivers on its promise. It means I have a pretty good retention rate because people get what they expect when they click. That's what has to be guarded against so I'm glad you touched on it. No point having a great CTR but dreadful retention.
I feel you’re thumbnails may work better with less text.
i loved this video!! it was so entertaining and also super informative, I didn't realize it was 15 min long!
I’m only 3 minutes in and had to say how much I loved the music from the Goonies. Awesome!
Glad to see James is safe! Thanks for another great video!
I love this content, it’s so helpful and well produced, the only problem that I have is implementing all of the amazing strategies 😂
Insane video. Just starting out and am going to keep this in mind. Appreciate it
I've GOT to watch the Goonies again! Great video Ed, Thanks!!
Relating movie posters and TN I wouldn’t of thought to do that man that’s great u did really good with finding diverse eye catching TNs
Holy crap. Your videos are truly amazing.
Love the Goonies references! Oh and very informative too 😂
This video is well edited and perfect
Your thumbnail for this video actually tticked me into clicking on it.
You know.. after watching a lot of these videos, I just noticed that its pretty similar to how we do icons for games in the app stores. Most of the times, the characters faces and objects with a light background, and the colors popping up are the ones that work the best.. and out of the 4 thumbnails you presented to the "judges" .. yours was the one that clearly had brighter colors, and a certain object could stand out pretty easily, and when looking at Jimmy's thumbnails and other examples , you can see very similar things as well.. interesting! ty for the videos they are great!
Excellent video! Top quality! Thanks!
ed film booth is the goat of yt help
Brilliant video. Thank you!
woah! New camera? and Editing style?! awesome video
I'm just gonna leave this question here. Referring to an end video that makes sense for the viewer to watch after they finished the one they are watching, increases the click through rate immensely. Talking from own experience.
But, how would you approach this as a creator? I can easily come up with videoseries about graffiti, for example how to start and how to become better. But would you start with the last video in this serie first so that once I upload the next one, they have a logical video to watch next? Or just start with the first one in the serie? I'm afraid that when I start with the first one in the series, I miss the end click as the viewer is in a watch flow if they reached the end of my video and probably like to learn more. Looking forward to your answer!
Nice vid man loved it
great video Ed!
That purple one was actually a really crisp thumbnail. The composition and colour was superb.
Shooting in 60fps for a talking head video is a unique and genius idea. 🔥
great video bro thank you so much!!
Ed: I was waiting for you to say "Baby Ruth".
Love Marquez's eye movement and the sound effect. Epic.
How'd you use the Goonies audio track? Lickd? Fantastic.
About the audio track I can see CZcams has identified the music and showing the info the same way when videos have a copyright claim. I wouldn't be surprised if he just decided he considers the quality of the video to be more important for community building than the ad revenue he is loosing by using the track.
Ooh the color thing was new to me. I can use that!!
Really great video, thank you!
Good stuff! Lots to learn...
Very insightful! Thanks!
Your animations are so impressive 😳🔥
Interesting stuff about the colors! ❤
this is so insanely helpful
love your background
my biggest takeaway is about that intrigue and challenge points, thanks guys
This is like finding a recipe online and the first 3/4 is hearing the cooks life story
