Listen up, filmmakers and YouTube creators. If you think hitting virality is a one-way ticket to success, think again.

Ever had that golden moment where one of your videos hit the jackpot? Millions of views, an explosion of new followers – you felt invincible. But then your follow-up videos tanked, and those new followers? Ghosts.

Failure stings, doesn’t it? That’s where I come in.

This isn’t just your sob story. @DangieBros know the drill – they crashed and burned in the aftermath of their viral hit because their storytelling and video editing were grade F. I’m here to dissect that disaster and trust me, I won’t be gentle.

If you're desperate to not just hit the viral jackpot but actually stay on top, it’s time for a reality check. Learn the brutal truths of storytelling and video editing that nobody else has the guts to tell you. Welcome to the school of hard knocks, where failure is the best teacher and I’m your no-nonsense guide.

Want to be a filmmaker or YouTube creator who doesn’t just bask in 15 minutes of fame but actually masters the art of viral content? Stick around. Your education is just beginning.

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.
