So, in this video, I'll be attempting to recreate a Mr. Beast video on a $0 budget with editing to even the prize money for the winner, not costing me a single scent. Stick around to see how I pull it off. First though, I need to do a bit of YouTube strategist, definitely means that I'll be thoroughly analyzing every single Mr. Beast video from top to bottom, studying each individual frame Hey, cut that out. I eventually settled on trying to replicate Mr. Beast's last to leave the circle wins $500,000 video, which at its core only requires me to have a circle, a camera, microphones, which I technically got for free a few weeks ago from a company called Cammonic, friends, and prize money to challenge, which for video that I'm making on a budget of exactly $0 is the later. I guess you could call me Mr. Least. I started by drawing a big circle with chalk that I found in my house, threw my friends inside of it, and then introduce the challenge. This is a circle with four of my friends in it. And the last one to leave gets 1,000 bills. It's really cold and everyone here is determined. So, we could be here a long time. Nah, I'm too cold for this. I'm out. And just like that, we had our first elimination. And in his defense, it really was freezing. I don't really know what I was expecting going into this, but everybody else seemed to actually be possible to win the prize money that I had promised them. your strategy to win? Uh, my name is Chester. I'm Wow Lee here. To win it. Widow Lee. I'm waited to win it. Widow Lee was practicing on Uh, I've got three cats at home and widely. One is Wil, one is J, and one is circle for the next 3 days? I'm going to stand here. You're going to stand here? Mhm. Okay. What about you? Murder. Okay. Soon enough though, I got cozy bedroom while the contestants thugged it out for the next couple of days in the circle. Man, I almost feel bad for them. It looks really, really painful, honestly. Nah, I'm just kidding. Okay, anyway, I think it's time to go check up on them again. Hi, it's Chester. I've been here for 3 days. I miss my cats at home. Wow. I don't think I can murder Chester. He's being a little too weird. I love you. Widow I love you. Widow headquart The contestants have decided to sit down, which makes this challenge a little too easy for me. So, I've got a trick up my sleeve to put a stop to this. During the research phase of this project, I found that most of Mr. Beast's circle videos ban people sitting down on the floor. But, in my opinion, that's kind of lame. It's my philosophy that sometimes you have to get burned to know the fire's hot. So, I decided to teach the contestants a little lesson. OH, NO. [screaming] HEY, YOU LITERALLY LOST MY SHOES. GET OVER THIS. APPARENTLY, those were really nice shoes and I got them wet. Now, we're down to our final two contestants. And guys, I think this circle's a little bit too big for just two people. Don't you think? I don't think so. Well, I think so. What? GET on that side. This circle is now half as big. If you This circle is now half as big. If you touch this end, YOU ARE OUT. the circle? And how long do you think you're going to stay? Well, you know me. I'm with only Chester. I was born ready. You know what they say, right? Another day, another victory for the OG. All right. What about you? Can I murder him? As the days flew by, I started to wonder if my friends actually had lives because they seemed to be just fine with spending week after week in a random circle made of old chalk. To be honest, I also began to question my career construction workers just meters from us doing really productive and useful work while we were over here doing quite the opposite. It's day 30 in the circle and two. How long do you think you're going to stay? Did your cats die? WELL, I AM WLY THE SKIPPIDITY Whizzler WELL, I AM WLY THE SKIPPIDITY Whizzler from Ohio. So, you know me. Quank 90s. Well, in life sometimes we make sacrifices, So, the circle's important to you? Yeah. I literally want the 10,000 bills. the 10,000 bills. Yeah. Yeah. Chesta out. Well, those two suffer in the circle. I've got one last challenge to spice things up, and it involves me calling a good friend of mine. Hello. Yeah, I'm ready. because honestly it's really cold and this challenge is going on way too long. It's really not in the budget to you know make this happen. ourselves a winner. Chester, how do you feel, man? You just won a thousand bills. Another day, another victory for the OG. Well, [screaming] like I said, I got my tweezats and my [clears throat] Okay, let's go get your prize money. the prize money for this challenge, we've got to edit this Mr. Least video on a $0 budget. Cap Cut PC is my preferred video editor of choice because it's super easy to use and comes with a ton of free sound effects, music, motion graphics templates, editing presets, and so much more. which is why I was sponsor this video. But anyway, I started by throwing all of my footage into the timeline and organized everything for a rough cut of the video. Then I threw in an arrow sticker and some text for each contestant and used Caput's motion tracking to have it follow each person and look super good, which actually only took me about two clicks. After that, I found all of the eliminations in the footage and threw in this X sticker that I also motiontracked to each character, which was once again super easy. I then threw in a few other miscellaneous screen effects like the snowflakes and this glitch effect when the assassin got introduced and motion track this crown onto Chester when he won the challenge. Finally, I used Cap Cut PC's auto caption tool to quickly make subtitles that looked a bit like Mr. Beast. And that was all the video really needed in terms of visuals. But when it comes to editing YouTube videos that get a ton of views, sound design is really what's key to leveling up your content. And Cap Cut PC really clutches up here because instead of having to search for sound effects on my own and worry about copyright, Caput PC comes highquality sound effects that I use to make the video go from this get up. HEY, YOU LITERALLY LOST MY SHOES. GET OVER HERE to this. Get up. OH NO. [screaming] OVER HERE. See how much better that is? Anyway, to wrap up the edit, I threw in music that roughly matched the mood of each scene. watching that don't realize how loud their background music is compared to their voice over, I always turn my background music down to anywhere from background music down to anywhere from like - 255 dB to -15 dB. And now that I'm done editing this video, here's Chester getting his prize money. Chester, you won the challenge. And that means courtesy of Mr. Least, you've won 1,000 bills. How do you feel right now? Oh my god. THANK YOU, MR. LEAST. All right. Oh my god. THIS IS GOING TO WIN ONLY CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. I don't know what to say. I DON'T KNOW about to give you I'm ready. Your 1,000 bills. My bills. Give me my bills. Oh my god. Wait. 1,000 bills. 1,000 bills. Electric bill, gas bill, phone bill. [screaming] 1,000 bills to THE LUCKY WINNER. THAT'S NOT WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO BE. GIVING ME my pills.
