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
I’ve paid for RU-vid 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
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.
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.
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!
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.
Film Booth is my favorite RU-vid 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!
Watching this after having done my first real video and thinking "this could have been a lot better". This interview opened a whole new world to me about storytelling. Thanks Jay for being such a good interviewer.
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
Good stuff. Storytelling is a crucial aspect of creating engaging and successful videos on RU-vid. 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.
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.
12:15 my time in college, in the student publication club, we had senior editor solely to come up with the headlines that hooks the reader to the story submitted by other student journalists. And when I did an internship at The Onion, all they sat in a room coming up with the funniest headline. Then find photos to accompany it, and then write the article.
Today I blocked hours to attend a live educational event for aspiring RU-vidrs! For most of the time I fought falling asleep and regretted paying money and time for some of their other content. Even though there were some helpful notes I took away from the “masterclass”, my biggest take away was discovering your channel while I was bored. I am so relieved to know that the feeling I had of being patronized by gatekeepers on the topics of RU-vid education just so they could sell more of their content and repeat prerecorded videos on their channel in the live class couldn’t be more opposite of what you do!! I appreciate your “presumed intelligence” approach and willingness on your part to expose the journey of learning the puzzle of creation content. I feel 10 times more intelligent and enjoy some relatable laughs while watching your channel. I’m only one and a half episodes in and felt compelled to share this. I am stoked to binge watch many more episodes asap and tune in to your podcast during my work commute this the week! I can’t thank you enough. Think Media should take lessons from you!!
Absolute treasure!! Loved every minute of this!! It was invaluable to learn about so many nuances in detail. Extremely GRATEFUL, thank you Jay & Ed❤️❤️
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
Package the idea then make a video. Click on what they want then deliver what they need. Undue the click bait. Educational channels that are using story are genius, make it som much more engaging to stick with the video. What is your story to lean into. I have been watching film booth for a while but i love this interview, lots to takeaways. Every video should have a goal. Be honest with yourself, if its boring then fix it with as story or metaphor. I love the keys across the table story. Create a story that they want to know what happens at the end. Another great interview, i love your choice of guests, excellent audio and video quality make it easier to watch a 35 min video beginning to end. Larry
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
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
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!
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 :)
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 RU-vid, storyteller and visual creator. Thanks for sharing this highly valuable conversation with us!
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 have just add a playlist "best for inspiration" to fit this such powerfull podcast. Thak you guys so much for such a great content.
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🍻
Great interview Jay! Ed has nailed the RU-vid game, I remember him first appearing on my RU-vid 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 😅)
Love the callout about being a business. Everyone benefits from viewing themselves as a business, whether a content creator, or simply working an hourly job.
Ed is the goat hes helped tons of people and already huge youtubers an amazing vid! so crazy not a lot of people watch these your vids have so much information and people are not even realizing there giving the best ways to blow up quick but get insane views lol.
you are so inspiring...I've been 3 weeks and I'm trying to share my journey of paying off $124k of debt in just 16 months back in 2020 and I have remained focused towards retirement goal and increased rental property my lifestyle financially and became a minimalist... 71 subscribers and 52 video..mostly shorts, but I really just can't figure this thing out because I want to share that journey to hope others could use to help them
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 ❤
The part about letting them figure it out is the best because the worlds best copywriters will tell you not to tell the whole story... Let the reader or watcher come to theor own conclusions then they are "in" the story. Great advice
Really great video Jay, super awesome breakdown and it was insanely helpful to be able to understand actually looks like for a RU-vidr doing this full-time
Ed is one of my favorite educators. This interview has me sold on him for life what a genuinely nice guy. I really love his other channel creator booth too. Also im now a Jay Clouse fan haha. This was my second video that popped up for me and I watched the whole thing. Subbed and belled looking forward to your next video! Finzar might be a fun interview I'd throw into the hat if you're taking suggestions.
Great video Gents. Have been watching Ed since I started my YT journey and take real value from his content. Stumbled across this at 2AM suffering from insomnia. Watched it again in the morning taking notes, took me 90 minutes pausing the video to make the notes I wanted. Heading out on my biggest filming trip of the year today. This gives me lots to think about on a 16 hour Ferry ride! Virtually a masterclass - Thankyou both.
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.
Absolutely love Ed's content. I'm subscribed to both Creator Booth and Film Booth. Come on Ed, you've been neglecting your uploads lately and I'm suffering withdrawal!😅
I have haha. Still nothing produced for Film Booth. 3 videos written and ready to shoot though, Creator Booth has just been slow getting the edits back, id hoped to post there weekly
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.
Wow! 😮 🎉 What an awesome video! Very captivating! I took alot of screenshots of the bullet points. I need to subscribe on both you and Ed Lawrence. ❤❤❤
