Wow, that's a serious jump from $200 to $2,000 per edit! It sounds like he's really cracked the code on client work alone, which is impressive. I'm curious to hear what makes his editing worth so much more.

Working only three days a week and still pulling in that kind of money is the dream scenario. It's great that he's found a balance to focus on personal projects and family, rather than just grinding 24/7. The mention of common mistakes early on is definitely relatable for anyone starting out.

Oh, so it wasn't just about the fancy VFX then, more about the overall impact. That realization about spending so much time on effects that weren't the main draw is a huge turning point. Pacing and music really do make or break a video's emotional connection.
