My cousin laughed at me for following that guy who edits videos with no cuts
So my cousin, who works in advertising, saw me watching this creator who does these super long single-take skits where he switches characters by moving behind a couch or whatever. She said, 'You know those take like 40 tries and they're not even funny most of the time, right?' And at first I got defensive, like hey it's impressive planning. But then I really watched the next one she pointed out and yeah, half the joke is just waiting for the camera to pan back to a new person. It hit different because I realized I was hyping up the effort more than the actual content. Now I can't unsee how many of these trend videos are just people holding a phone and walking around their apartment. Has anyone else had a friend pop a trend bubble for you like that?
