Hey man, I hope you’re doing great. Your videos are really the only ones on YouTube that I have to stop and watch. Every single video is a treat. Also wondering, what’s your favorite fast-food burger place?

Thanks Payton!
And wow, that's a tough question. I like different fast-food burgers for different reasons, but the one I end up eating the most is almost definitely Wendy's. It's either Wendy's or McDonalds.

Hi Ian! I just wanted to say that your video style is incredibly unique and fun, it’s the reason I’ve decided to present you with this question. I’m currently in a program at my school that gives me access to camera equipment, premier pro, and all the film equipment I could dream of. I think I’m fine with cameras, but when It comes to editing, I feel like I have a harder time creating what I want. Next year, my capstone project will be a 30 minute short film, and I’m trying to get better at editing so that I can produce something I’m proud of. And although I am always trying to improve my skills, I always feel like I’m working really sluggishly and not producing something that could be such a better product. Do you have any general tips on how to edit more efficiently and just better in general? I know my way around the basics but I’m still relatively amateur and am open to any help.

Hmmm that's tough! When it comes to editing for film, I was taught that the best edits are the ones that go unnoticed. Unless it's intentional, you want to make every cut "feel" normal, and you want to choose shots that the viewer isn't going to be jarred by. But how do you actually learn how to do that? Toughie. Along with watching tutorials and reading books about editing, I'd recommend watching movies/TV shows that are similar in "feel" to the kind of movie you want to make. But instead of watching the movie for fun, really pay attention to the editing of the movie. What edits do you like, and why do you like them? What about the ones you don't like? You don't want to directly lift ideas from another movie or anything, but studying how other people do things is a great way to get inspiration for yourself.
When it comes time to actually edit your film, try not to like... look at it too long? Which I know sounds hard to do. But you need time to look away and rest your eyeballs. Look at a different scene for a while, or a different movie altogether, that way you can look at your own project with fresh eyes. You want to be sure that you're editing it for people that are seeing it for the first time, which can be hard to do when you're looking at it 24/7.
I hope some of these tips were helpful! Like anything, editing is an area that you'll get better with over time, I feel like it's just something you have to do a bunch to develop that inner gut feeling that helps guides you on edits. Best of luck with your short film!

Yo,
Ancient viewer here, been watching since the Polar Express video waaaaaaaay back when. LOVE how the channel (and your style of editing lol) has evolved.
Here's to the BMBS outlasting cable television
Much love, my dude ^-^
PS: Pet MJ right this second, or I'll torture my kidneys by eating 3 Hungry Mans at once

Thank you so much, person! I've delivered MJ a number of pets for you.
Yo Ian! I've been watching your channel ever since 2018, keep up the good work dude!
Just wanted to tell you we love ya Ian. Whenever you drop new videos, all of our plans shut down for the evening because we have to crack beers, grab snacks, and watch. All our love and support to you from 2 fellow Texans (Wylie here),

You've been a huge inspiration for me to start following my dreams (and growing out my hair) the last couple years. Thanks for doing what you do! 🙂
Hello Mr. Moose! Enormous fan. I already adored your work on youtube's distinct aesthetic, but running across this website elevates it even further. I aspire to be as committed to anything as you are to these impeccable vibes.

Hey, Ian! Long time viewer, first time commenter.
Your videos always bring a genuine smile to my face, and have done doubly so this past year. It's absolutely evident you put so much work into your videos, and I enjoy watching so much.
Anyway, just dropping by to say hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia! Have a great day!
P.S. I also left a weird Amazon review in my website link for this post, since I know how much you love reading food reviews.

Thanks for the review link Max haha, what a treat! I'll never see Hi-Chews in the same light again.
Hey, Ian!
Love your Mystery Tapes, Brutalfoods and nostalgic media reviews. My bf and I like to have the TV on as we sleep, so it's a lil tradition to watch a comfort video or two of yours before YouTube autoplay takes over the rest.
Thanks for everything you do and stay awesome!

Hey Ian,
I love your channel and have been watching for numerous years. I just came across a movie on Youtube and thought you may want to check it out. It's a made for TV movie NBC aired once in December of 1999 about Y2K. It's hilariously awful, and I thought that maybe you'd check it out and like to make a video about it. If not, it's definitely worth a watch. The link is: https://youtu.be/a6yy3GtvLBE
Much Love!

Hey thank you for the recommendation Matt!
You still alive Ian?
Admin Reply by: ian
I think so!
Hello,
I really don’t know what to put here, but I love your videos, especially the newest brutalfoods (for future reference, the lunchables deserts taste testing one) it was very chaotic and I loved every second of it. I was a bit worried when you didn’t write an update for this month, but I’m glad to know your alright.
Thanks for reading this, even if it was unfocused.

Hey, Ian! I've been watching your videos for years, but I've never realized you had I website until now. Your videos are like YouTube comfort food and the editing is easily the best out of any channel I've ever watched. Have a nice day and keep up the amazing content!
Ian! Hey! I’ve been watching you since your Freddi Fish collab. I just wanted to say I love what you’ve been doing with the channel. Brutalfoods is awesome and super entertaining; I even watched the Hungry Man video at least 15 times. Something you might want to try concerning brutalfoods is trying different brands of frozen pizzas maybe? like the Beef Showdown but pizza? Just an idea. Anyway, keep it up, I love this.
Hi Ian,
I wanted to say thanks for the top quality videos. Their laidback demeanor helps me relax before bedtime 🙂

Dude,
I really just need to thank you for being such an inspiration. Ive been making music videos for a minute almost strictly using vhs technology. Without some of your videos i really doubt i would have even thought of doing anything with video.
Love ya

Hey mooseman! Hope you are doing well and getting satisfied creativity. Just wanted to say that my wife and I have been enjoying your content a ton lately. It is the most calming and fun.
Also the Nancy combo of playing the games, watching you stream it and watch the nance CW show is a great combo of entertainment. Thanks!

Hey Ian! Long-time watcher (the first video of yours that I saw was Isle of the Dead) and I just wanted to say that you're one of my favorite Youtubers and my favorite streamer. You inspire me to keep at my own creative works and I hope you keep experimenting and creating for years to come. Hope you're doing well and all the best!
Hey Ian!
On a stream last year, you asked us to remind you to make the Fatty Bear Cake for a video, and this seemed like the easiest place to do that, lol. Not sure if that's still on your radar but here we are!
Hope you're doing well, dude!
