    ZHC’s achieving millions of views by celebrating art and style, but that doesn’t mean that his content can’t be better.
    There are a few elements of the editing and storytelling that I think are great, and some that are neglected, which creates what I think are missed opportunities!
    So me and Zach are going to talk about what works, and what we like about his content, and I’m going to be a cheeky little bugger and roast his content right in front of him.

    I absolutely love these kinds of collabs. Always a goldmine.
    I think something you do Hayden better than almost anyone else on CZcams, is finding ways to really bring out emotion and character in an edit, through very deliberate videography/storytelling.
    Where you collaborate with big creators is always the most fascinating, because you’re not going through just the basics of editing, but giving a view into the abstract principles of storytelling - whilst using concrete tactics to describe how they’re done.
    Again, banger video, can’t wait for more.
