Whilst much of their early success came from the creation of several official Minecraft trailers,[6] their gaming and vlog content makes up the majority of their channel, including games such as Grand Theft Auto, Minecraft and Rust. They are also film-makers and musicians, with their videos often including impromptu a cappella singing.[7][8] They are also known for their music releases, such as their 2015 charity albumPopulation: You, which peaked at #5 on the BillboardComedy Albums chart.[9]
They are the creators of the YouTube comedy series Stunt Lads,[10] and were featured in the book Yogscast: The Diggy Diggy Book.[11]
Stunt Lads is a machinima series created in Grand Theft Auto V. While covering the work of Hat Films, Vice reported in April 2016 that Stunt Lads was created by Hat Films "entirely in the Rockstar Editor," a digital media editing software. The report further mentioned that the idea of Stunt Lads "came from a collective interest in light-hearted, slapstick fare and an inability to perform stunts to the same standard as some of the online scene's dedicated crews."[10] Playground.ru, the Russian gaming information site, featured a review of Hat Films and their work on Stunt Lads in July 2015.[12]
Minecraft trailersedit
Hat Films have worked with Mojang and Microsoft Studios, among others, on the official Minecraft update trailers for console and PC editions of the game.[13][14] They have also worked on the official opening videos for Minecon.[15] Hat Films first came into contact with Mojang in the early stages of their career, while the group was asking for permission to record Let's Play content of the game.[16]
Musicedit
Hat Films are also known for their music releases. They have independently released music alongside videos, and later released music through the Yogscast. Their independent releases include instrumentals they produced for Minecraft trailers, music from their Filfy' Animals series, and other releases.[17]
More recently, they participate in the annual Yogscast Jingle Jam charity livestream event, where they produce and release a charity album. Their debut, Population: You, reached #5 on the BillboardComedy Albums chart in 2015.[9] Follow-ups to this album include Destination Drumpf in 2016, Neon Musk in 2017, and Secret Santa in 2018. In addition to this, a single from Destination Drumpf was released in 2017; a studio remaster of "Shipping and Receiving".[18]
Hat Films have also released three albums containing their fans' remixes of songs from the charity albums; Population: US (2015),[19]Destination Drumpf – The Remixes (2016),[20]Neon Musk – Remix Collection (2017)[21] and Secret Santa – The Remixes (2018)[22]
As a band Hat Films have performed under the name Pleasureville, or more recently Mr Sam & The Dednutz, along with their editor Craig Frost, Yogscast audio engineer Sam Gibbs and artist Rhiannon Gower.

Hat Films also upload YouTube videos on additional channels, Hat Gaming and The Hat Chat Podcast which both host content from livestreams and podcasts respectively.[23]
