What you like about that creator’s videos is probably a few repeatable choices

Watch with one question at a time

First, notice how the video starts. Does it show the outcome, begin mid-action, or use a spoken setup? Next, look at the pictures. Are the shots close and steady, or wide and restless? Finally, listen: is the rhythm driven by speech, music, or natural sound?

Writing down these choices gives you a vocabulary for the style. “Short close-ups followed by a quiet wide shot” is more useful than a creator’s name alone, especially when the person has made many different kinds of videos.

Separate the treatment from the signature

Keep your own wording, identity, subject, and source material. Do not imply the creator made or endorsed the video. Use reference footage and audio you have permission to use. When in doubt, describe the observable choices in words.

Shorty can take an optional reference alongside your footage. Tell it which aspects matter and which should not carry over. For example, borrow the restrained text and slow reveal while leaving the reference’s soundtrack and catchphrase out.

Make room for a different subject

A creator filming a moving athlete has different material from a shop filming a ceramic mug. The same cut pattern may feel wrong. Translate the principle: a build toward a revealing action can work for both, but the actual shots will differ.

Review your version on its own. Does the style help the viewer understand your subject, or is it drawing attention away from it? Keep the choices that make your footage stronger. Change the ones that only make it look like an imitation.
