“For us it was just this hobby, we made videos for a couple years and developed this natural act of storytelling and video creating without really knowing what we were doing,” Jake recalled.
He told Forbes: “I got into a competition with my brother over who could make better Vine videos.
“We had the taste of viral success of how to make a video that a bunch of people want to see.
“We kept duplicating it and coming up with more creative ways to grow our audience.
“At the time, we were blown away and we loved it. Every day, I’m trying to push the boundaries creatively and sometimes it does push the boundary too far, and that’s what I had to learn.”
