I find the art of editing is the first impression.
If you can fool the eye within the first five seconds, it doesn’t matter what the little details are.
Usually the thing that gets me with a bad edit is lighting and coloring. There are subtle things that the eye, no matter who it is, automatically notices.
If you get those wrong you have two options … either part of the joke is the obvious bad edit … or you just messed up the edit and it ruined the joke.
The one you did here was great … it definitely got me in the first five seconds. Great edit.

Thanks! I like the “first five seconds” way of thinking about it.
