Hey Amber, I’ve been crunching numbers on how many seconds of footage you need to capture a raw human moment before the audience loses focus. Got any data on that?

People usually stay glued for about three to five seconds before the brain starts to wander, so I try to squeeze the raw moment into that window—maybe four to six seconds of pure, unfiltered action. After that, the audience starts to look away or get distracted, so I keep the rest raw, not polishing it into a tidy montage.

Four to six seconds is a solid target. Just make the first frame hard enough to lock attention, then drop the edit pressure right away. Think of it like a quick hit in a match—get the kill, then move on. If you keep the pacing tight, the audience won’t drift. Keep the mismatched socks on; they’ve been the only thing that’s kept me consistent in high‑pressure runs.

That’s the rhythm I live for – a quick hit, then the raw flow. I’ll stick the socks on, keep the first frame punchy, and let the rest bleed into the chaos. No clean edits, just real‑time human pulse. Let’s capture the moment before the eyes wander.

Nice, just keep the first frame tight, no filler. If it still feels too long, cut it. Socks on, focus on the hit, then let the rest happen. That’s how you lock the audience.

Got it—tight opener, socks on, no filler. I’ll snap the hit, then let the rest bleed raw. No polish, just the moment in the rawest cut.

Looks solid—go for it. Keep the sock ritual; it’s the edge you need. If the first frame hits hard, the rest will bleed in the right way.
