It all started when Ross was in the university, studying film and television. There, he met Chris Trott, Nathan Ashman, and Adams. Soon, they became best friends and often discussed their passion: video games. Once, while discussing their future plans, they collectively thought of venturing into the world of gaming. That is how 'HAT Films' was born. Initially, it was named 'H.A.A.T Films,' a name that originated from the initials of their surnames. After graduation, Nathan and Adams quit âH.A.A.T Filmsâ to pursue their individual ventures. Soon, Alex Smith was roped in and the venture was renamed.

Gradually, the trio managed to grab attention in the online gaming scenario. Their filming and editing skills were unique and innovative. Besides making gaming videos, 'HAT Films' began creating gaming trailers. They were approached by â4J Studiosâ to create âMinecraftâ skin trailers for their Xbox version. They later added songs, skits, and other entertaining content to their list.
'HAT Films' has their very own 'YouTube' channel where they provide gameplays of popular video games such as âGrand Theft Auto 5,â âTrials,â âWorms,â and âTTT.â They also create comedy sketches and skits. All their creations can be found on sites such as âBandcampâ and âiTunes.â They even have their signature line of merchandize.

Ross' Association
The 'HAT Films' trio is now a name to reckon with, in the gaming arena. The teamâs efforts to deliver high-quality entertainment are commendable. Entertainment comes naturally to this trio. They try not to follow the conventional path. For instance, in 2014, they arrived at the 'Yogscast' office dressed in rags. They were also drunk and were munching on caviar.
Ross is the eldest of the three members. He usually stays away from the immature conversations between Smith and Trott. However, that does not make him less entertaining. He often cracks jokes with Smith and Trott. At times, he even engages in jamming sessions with them.
Ross is the most skilled editor of the three. He has shown his incredible editing skills in a number of 'HAT Films' productions, especially in their âUSA Roadtripâ vlogs.

Beyond HAT Films
Apart from being part of 'HAT Films,' Ross has been associated with a number of other projects, too. He owns a 'YouTube' channel named âdjh3max,â which is also his online alias. However, the channel is not remarkably popular and has a little over two thousand subscribers. Ross has a 'Twitter' account, too, where he posts about 'HAT Films' and its productions. The account has earned 123 thousand followers.
Rossâs online alias, âdjh3max,â has a history behind its inception. The âdjâ in his alias stems from his past desire to become a DJ. The letter 'h' has been taken from his last name, while the digit â3â is the number of siblings in his family. He once owned a dog named âMax,â which has contributed to the âmaxâ in his alias. In addition, Ross has a number of other usernames and online aliases such as 'DjHD3DCinemax,' âRossHORNY,â âRock,â âGround-Scrub,â âMickey Pokey,â âRoss âOwn Goalâ Hornby,â âRob,â and âRossperu.â
The character âMs. Sluggy Slugworth Slugwormâ was created by Ross while hosting an episode of 'GTA5.' The character is a slug with a slurred voice.
Ross has worked as a voice artist, too. He has lent his voice to the character âMinionâ in the animated series âIsraphel Animated.â
