If you watch this video, without audio, it's about a man describing how to perfectly cook an orange on a pan, for 27 minutes

I really thought he was gonna use calling Lauren "Honey" as a segue into an ad... he's so good at it

“The job of the video is to make you feel like you’ve cooked this once before.”

This is so absolutely true. I’ve never been able to put my finger on what makes your recipe videos so much better than other YouTube cooks, but this is exactly it. When I cook your recipe videos, it does feel like I have cooked it once before because I have seen you complete the whole process without skipping or montaging parts of the process.

2:52 Adam: see how much clearer that looks?
Everyone on mobile: 👁👄👁

2:52
Adam: Looks nicer right
Me, watching in 240p: Oh yeah definitely

Thanks for this.  I really appreciate your methodologies and thought processes.  And of course your content output.

I'm here for the tips cause I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

I appreciated that step of “feeling like it’s been cooked before.” I have cooked Babish’s Josh’s and Ethan’s food before, but for some reason Adam’s always turn out the best and I had no idea why until that comment and watching this video. Thanks Adam for all the hardwork you put in.

Really makes you appreciate Adam's pedagogical skills.  He was probably awesome to have as a Journalism prof.

“If given the option to delay a consequential decision, I absolutely will.”

I really appreciate how transparent Adam is about his whole process. Really shows that his main focus is his audience and helping them succeed

"Fluff up the noodles"
I wasn't aware you shot those kinds of videos...

As a content creator myself, I appreciate how much effort you put in your vids Adam. That's why we all love your content so much

The "coming out of the closet" shot was beautiful 👌

Here I am watching a 30 minute video of how to make a video. Time well spent when it's Adam!

Thank you for this Adam. Filming and lighting food (or anything) is definitely my weak spot, and this has been illuminating. Can’t wait to try out some of your techniques.

Ok, but when will you release the pan fried orange video?

Adam, when you are "abusing" the Focusing Effect for movement, That has terms too!
When the focus is going from something close, to something far away, that's called a "Focus Throw"
When it's coming from something far to something close up, that's a "Focus Pull"
You Pull the focus in, and then you throw it out. Lots of film makers use it to direct attention.

had an unfortunate chuckle at "then i come out of the closet and its time to edit"

I was going "wtf? there's absolutely no difference." til i realized youtube somehow plopped the video quality to 480p. :/
