Exclude latest post from WP_Query taxonomy term loop

Question

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Custom Post Type 'video', with a taxonomy 'tax-video' and I'm looping through posts in the sub-taxonomy term 't-o-t-w'. I need to exclude the latest/most recent post.

I've been searching around for a couple hours trying different things, but still don't really even know where to start. Here's what I've tried, but it breaks the page:

    <?php

    //trying to get the recent post
    $tip = get_terms('t-o-t-w','orderby=id&order=DESC&number=1');
    $latest_tip = $tip[0]->ID;

    $args = array(
    'post_type' => 'video',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'tax-video',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => 't-o-t-w',
             ),
          ),
    'posts_per_page' => '8',
       //Trying to Exclude it here
    'post__not_in' => array( $latest_tip ),
    );

    $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>  

    <?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

    //code to be executed

    <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

wp_query has the offset parameter which you can use to skip posts, e.g.

$args = array(
 'post_type' => 'video',
 'tax_query' => array(
  array(
   'taxonomy' => 'tax-video',
   'field'    => 'slug',
   'terms'    => 't-o-t-w',
  ),
 ),
 'posts_per_page' => '8',
 'offset' => 1, // excludes the first post in the query
);

you may just be over thinking this
