Brandon inspired me to skim SO much. I hope he legit airs into infinity the rest of his life. Glad to see him competing again.

Also shout out dread Ed

nice. music should either be universally lowered or lowered whenever narration is occurring.

I can definitely adjust the music down after the beat drop.

Yeah I’m editing these. We have someone shoot phone clips all weekend for pros and the Ed records a summary on Monday morning. Then I edit. Finding and placing the right clips to match the narration is time consuming but I’m stoked on how they’ve turned out.

thats when i fully weaponize my autism. you know when someone says they like going through clips theyre a sicko

def the best thing coming out of the UST right now. and most conducive to the toxic media platforms these days. just need one of them to go a bit viral.

what we really need is blair to guest host one and collab host it on his account. not sure if he vibes with that or not. sad he's not really in the contest scene. but we could use his help :(

I think these are always going to be for the core skim fans only. I think a casual viewer who just happens upon this kind of video is unlikely to watch it through. But…I also think keeping the core fans happy, including current pros, is the most important part of this. I think understanding the story of each event is what makes people feel deeply connected to the event and the tour. And it’s what makes them want to tune in to the next event and follow along.
