Video 1:
What Liam Wanted: Liam requested me to find the best part of a 12 minute long video and turn it into a short. A few years later, he met up with the same guy as before, and wanted it to be a fast forward reel.
How Much It Made: We amassed over a million views on this video, and earned $900 through the TikTok Creator Program.
Video 2:
What Liam Wanted: Liam approaches a police officer with “I want to get arrested by you” line and gets shut down instantly. Instead of cutting the interaction short, I included his follow up when he says a smooth compliment about her eyebrows.
How Much It Made: This video made $300 on TikTok Creator Program
Video 3:
What Liam Wanted: Liam approaches a group of Messi fans in Times Square. He "trolls" them, and tells them that Ronaldo is better. He follows up by saying unreasonable facts that make him superior, and the internet exploded. This video converted to 2 million views on TikTok, and 3.7 million on Instagram.
How Much It Made: The video made about $1300 on TikTok.
