The viral video framework this guy used to get 1.6M followers on TikTok

Last May, I went to the first-ever CEX (Creator Econoy Expo) event in Phoenix, Arizona. At that event, I saw a couple of guys walking around with a camera filming all week – and so I wanted to talk to them.

That turned out to be Daniel Wall who I learned had more than 1 million followers on TikTok. Later that day I looked at his account and got HOOKED.

Daniel creates incredible short-form videos where he goes behind the scenes of the music and entertainment industry. He showcases how songs were made, how good all the Stranger Things actors are at singing, or why Kidz Bop is the worst.

This combination of pop culture + obscure trivia is my favorite type of thing.

So I asked Daniel to come on the podcast and – holy crap – did he deliver.

I didn't realize just how thoughtful Daniel was about his whole creative process and he shares with us a lot of very specific ways he approaches his videos.

We talk about:

  • How Daniel researches video ideas
  • Daniel's CEFL framework for creating
  • How Daniel creates videos using a Hook, Story, and Payoff
  • Thinking about TikTok vs. Instagram Reels vs. YouTube Shorts
