00:12:27 ◼   ► and it's because i had to that I made [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► the commitment because it's very very [TS]

00:12:33 ◼   ► used to the movement like trying to edit [TS]

00:12:35 ◼   ► podcasts initially was a nightmare [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► because I would be moving it just wasn't [TS]

00:12:39 ◼   ► as precisely initially so i would be [TS]

00:12:41 ◼   ► like moving audio files around [TS]

00:13:27 ◼   ► back into my rotation mom but I'm [TS]

00:13:31 ◼   ► probably going to go for a gaming mouse [TS]

00:13:35 ◼   ► smith i was talking to him about this [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► means like if you want buttons on a [TS]

00:13:38 ◼   ► mouse you should look at a gaming mouse [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► because the buttons are like super easy [TS]

00:13:42 ◼   ► to press that built that way [TS]

00:13:43 ◼   ► who knows i might look at that and they [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► have different button configuration [TS]

00:13:46 ◼   ► which might be better for my hand [TS]

00:13:48 ◼   ► placement stuff like that so yeah we're [TS]

00:13:50 ◼   ► gonna bring that back in the butt of [TS]

00:13:52 ◼   ► certain point I think it was your [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► try for quite a while and while i do [TS]

00:14:23 ◼   ► rotate input devices i would say my [TS]

00:14:26 ◼   ► default is almost always the pen tablet [TS]

00:46:38 ◼   ► you looked out with some timing on this [TS]

00:46:41 ◼   ► i did because people who follow the way [TS]

00:46:44 ◼   ► I work will be aware that i do not like [TS]

00:46:47 ◼   ► to talk about projects before they're [TS]

00:46:49 ◼   ► released like I never asked [TS]

00:47:05 ◼   ► everybody in your life that you might [TS]

00:47:06 ◼   ► share it's tough with and I've discussed [TS]

00:47:08 ◼   ► before one of the reasons why I don't [TS]

00:47:10 ◼   ► like to do that is because i often find [TS]

00:47:11 ◼   ► that discussing it ahead of time just [TS]

00:47:13 ◼   ► kind of removes a lot of incentive to [TS]

00:47:15 ◼   ► actually make the thing or I don't know [TS]

00:47:18 ◼   ► I feel like I almost talked myself out [TS]

00:47:20 ◼   ► of projects sometimes when I talk to [TS]

00:47:22 ◼   ► other people [TS]

00:47:22 ◼   ► this is a variety of reasons why I don't [TS]

00:47:25 ◼   ► do it because I'm like a secretive [TS]

00:47:28 ◼   ► paranoid freak I don't do it because i [TS]

00:47:30 ◼   ► have consistently found that it is [TS]

00:47:33 ◼   ► detrimental to the process of production [TS]

00:47:35 ◼   ► so that like that's why I don't do it [TS]

00:47:37 ◼   ► however there is a very narrow window of [TS]

00:47:42 ◼   ► time where when I have a script that is [TS]

00:47:47 ◼   ► like ninety-five percent done then [TS]

00:47:50 ◼   ► sometimes I will talk to people i know [TS]

00:47:53 ◼   ► about it because it's useful to [TS]

00:47:56 ◼   ► occasionally run stuff by people and see [TS]

00:47:58 ◼   ► like how do people react to this topic [TS]

00:48:00 ◼   ► you let me ask some questions let me see [TS]

00:48:02 ◼   ► what the other person is confused about [TS]

00:48:05 ◼   ► because there when the script is almost [TS]

00:48:07 ◼   ► entirely done like in theory I could [TS]

00:48:10 ◼   ► record it but I'm still just trying to [TS]

00:48:12 ◼   ► do some edits on it at that point to me [TS]

00:48:14 ◼   ► it feels like I'm over this hill of [TS]

00:48:16 ◼   ► inevitability like there's no way i'm [TS]

00:48:18 ◼   ► not going to make the video anymore so i [TS]

00:48:20 ◼   ► might as well just work on it and so [TS]

00:48:23 ◼   ► from from like the second-to-last draft [TS]

00:48:25 ◼   ► through the animation phase then a much [TS]

00:48:27 ◼   ► more willing to talk about what are [TS]

00:48:28 ◼   ► working on when people ask me and you [TS]

00:48:31 ◼   ► just happened to catch me we just [TS]

00:48:33 ◼   ► happened to meet up with each other in [TS]

00:48:35 ◼   ► London basically right at that point was [TS]

00:48:38 ◼   ► like there's no way i'm not making this [TS]

00:48:40 ◼   ► video and so I thought oh let me [TS]

00:48:42 ◼   ► experiment on like a little bit let me [TS]

00:48:44 ◼   ► run through this topic with him and see [TS]

00:48:47 ◼   ► like what he's can what is he confused [TS]

00:48:49 ◼   ► about what is the asked questions about [TS]

00:48:50 ◼   ► and make some notes and maybe tweak the [TS]

00:48:52 ◼   ► script a little bit based on that [TS]

00:48:54 ◼   ► did I pass the test there's no tests [TS]

00:48:56 ◼   ► well i mean i could have just going to [TS]

00:48:58 ◼   ► the you know that's useless absolutely [TS]

00:49:01 ◼   ► useless to you [TS]

00:49:02 ◼   ► yeah I don't ever like the I've never [TS]

00:49:05 ◼   ► had that happen when i run a topic by [TS]

00:49:06 ◼   ► people where they just sit there like a [TS]

00:49:08 ◼   ► drooling idiot so that has that has not [TS]

00:49:12 ◼   ► yet occurred again I guess that it's [TS]

00:49:14 ◼   ► it's more of a it's more of a trying to [TS]

00:49:17 ◼   ► gauge where confusing points are or [TS]

00:49:20 ◼   ► where someone asks a question and so [TS]

00:49:23 ◼   ► that that's actually what i'm i'm [TS]

00:49:25 ◼   ► looking for it's not like I'm trying to [TS]

00:49:26 ◼   ► see like how interested is the person in [TS]

00:49:28 ◼   ► this thing the time for that has long [TS]

00:49:30 ◼   ► passed it's more an issue of trying to [TS]

00:49:32 ◼   ► look for points for confusion and so [TS]

00:49:35 ◼   ► that's why sometimes at the very last [TS]

00:49:36 ◼   ► minute i'll talk about a video with with [TS]

00:49:38 ◼   ► somebody else but you know it was it was [TS]

00:49:40 ◼   ► useful to do a quick run-through you [TS]

00:49:43 ◼   ► with that and and I think I recorded the [TS]

00:49:45 ◼   ► record the audio the next day or the two [TS]

00:49:48 ◼   ► days after that something something [TS]

00:49:50 ◼   ► along those lines and then start on the [TS]

00:49:51 ◼   ► whole animation process I was kind of [TS]

00:49:53 ◼   ► surprised how quickly it was from [TS]

00:49:54 ◼   ► conversation to the video being released [TS]

00:49:56 ◼   ► its like five or six days something like [TS]

00:49:57 ◼   ► that yeah that sounds about right [TS]

00:49:59 ◼   ► and I just it's just interesting to me [TS]

00:50:01 ◼   ► like it just it really i think further [TS]

00:50:04 ◼   ► demonstrates where the bottleneck is [TS]

00:50:05 ◼   ► which is the scriptwriting the getting [TS]

00:50:07 ◼   ► the scripts to the place where i can [TS]

00:50:08 ◼   ► record it [TS]

00:50:09 ◼   ► that is the hard part and I was thinking [TS]

00:50:13 ◼   ► this morning because so the video that i [TS]

00:50:15 ◼   ► put up is I called America pox [TS]

00:50:17 ◼   ► I don't know [TS]

00:50:18 ◼   ► describe a broadly speaking it's it's [TS]

00:50:20 ◼   ► the answer to this question of why is it [TS]

00:50:24 ◼   ► that when like Columbus visited the new [TS]

00:50:27 ◼   ► world there's this thing that historians [TS]

00:50:29 ◼   ► called the Columbian Exchange which has [TS]

00:50:31 ◼   ► been columbus and other explorers [TS]

00:50:33 ◼   ► brought over all of these diseases and [TS]

00:50:36 ◼   ► your end of the Native Americans got [TS]

00:50:38 ◼   ► sick [TS]

00:50:38 ◼   ► the question is like why didn't why [TS]

00:50:41 ◼   ► didn't the European explorers get sick [TS]

00:50:43 ◼   ► it's trying to answer is trying to [TS]

00:50:45 ◼   ► answer that question and this is a video [TS]

00:50:50 ◼   ► topic that for the past two [TS]

00:50:54 ◼   ► thanksgivings I had attempted to make [TS]

00:50:56 ◼   ► this video while in time for so this one [TS]

00:51:00 ◼   ► is is quite old and I was just trying to [TS]

00:51:02 ◼   ► estimate this morning i'm going to guess [TS]

00:51:05 ◼   ► that between this Thanksgiving where I [TS]

00:51:07 ◼   ► finally got it done last Thanksgiving [TS]

00:51:10 ◼   ► and the Thanksgiving before that where [TS]

00:51:12 ◼   ► which were all times when i was working [TS]

00:51:14 ◼   ► on the script i'm going to guess that [TS]

00:51:16 ◼   ► means what over three years there might [TS]

00:51:18 ◼   ► have been something like 50 drafts of [TS]

00:51:20 ◼   ► the script before i decided to record it [TS]

00:51:22 ◼   ► and it's in no small part because like [TS]

00:51:26 ◼   ► people here that and they they often [TS]

00:51:29 ◼   ► just go immediately to like the the [TS]

00:51:31 ◼   ► perfectionist thing was like oh no [TS]

00:51:32 ◼   ► that's that's not my perception of this [TS]

00:51:33 ◼   ► not just like i am not a very good [TS]

00:51:36 ◼   ► writer but i think that my skills in [TS]

00:51:38 ◼   ► editing and this is just a complicated [TS]

00:51:41 ◼   ► and somewhat sensitive topic and it's [TS]

00:51:43 ◼   ► like boy it just required a lot of [TS]

00:51:45 ◼   ► drafts and a lot of rewrites to get it [TS]

00:51:47 ◼   ► to a place where I felt like okay yes [TS]

00:51:49 ◼   ► this is that this is telling a story in [TS]

00:51:52 ◼   ► an understandable way like it's a [TS]

00:51:53 ◼   ► complicated thing there's lots of moving [TS]

00:51:55 ◼   ► parts here this is not a video where i [TS]

00:51:59 ◼   ► can just blast through some areas like [TS]

00:52:02 ◼   ► in many of my videos I there's lots of [TS]

00:52:05 ◼   ► sections like I can just kind of skip a [TS]

00:52:07 ◼   ► whole bunch of stuff it's like not with [TS]

00:52:08 ◼   ► this one because you need to go through [TS]

00:52:09 ◼   ► this step by step by step what is that [TS]

00:52:11 ◼   ► when we were talking about like the [TS]

00:52:12 ◼   ► videos 12 minutes long and when we were [TS]

00:52:13 ◼   ► talking about it maybe took about an [TS]

00:52:16 ◼   ► hour for me to actually understand [TS]

00:52:17 ◼   ► yeah yeah yes it was it's very complex [TS]

00:52:20 ◼   ► as a thing [TS]

00:52:21 ◼   ► yeah it's it's a complex topic and it [TS]

00:52:23 ◼   ► also took as much longer in person to go [TS]

00:52:24 ◼   ► through it because i was also talking to [TS]

00:52:27 ◼   ► about a lot of the stuff is probably [TS]

00:52:28 ◼   ► going to be in the part 2 section as [TS]

00:52:30 ◼   ► well and that that was all [TS]

00:52:32 ◼   ► so what was useful for me as i was [TS]

00:52:33 ◼   ► trying to figure out like how much apart [TS]

00:52:35 ◼   ► to do i need to pull out and talking to [TS]

00:52:38 ◼   ► a real live human about it in person was [TS]

00:52:40 ◼   ► like oh right [TS]

00:52:41 ◼   ► all of it like everything that could be [TS]

00:52:43 ◼   ► in part two I should put in part two and [TS]

00:52:46 ◼   ► it's very obvious once i'm talking to [TS]

00:52:47 ◼   ► someone that that that that has to be [TS]

00:52:49 ◼   ► the way that it's going to be so this [TS]

00:52:51 ◼   ► was the first video post styling down [TS]

00:52:53 ◼   ► yeah yeah and I wanted what kind of [TS]

00:52:56 ◼   ► impact actually made on the process [TS]

00:52:58 ◼   ► because I hope that it made some yeah [TS]

00:53:01 ◼   ► the the the dialing down thing has been [TS]

00:53:05 ◼   ► a very interesting experience and the [TS]

00:53:09 ◼   ► most direct thing that I can say is that [TS]

00:53:13 ◼   ► part of the part of the dialing down [TS]

00:53:16 ◼   ► thing that I have been doing which is [TS]

00:53:17 ◼   ► not explicitly part of this like staying [TS]

00:53:19 ◼   ► off Twitter thing but as a side effect [TS]

00:53:22 ◼   ► I've been very much focused on only [TS]

00:53:25 ◼   ► working on two videos at a time and when [TS]

00:53:29 ◼   ► I have when I have this feeling of like [TS]

00:53:32 ◼   ► who i want to go work on something else [TS]

00:53:33 ◼   ► now of trying to clamp it down and be [TS]

00:53:35 ◼   ► like no you can't you can't do this [TS]

00:53:38 ◼   ► brain like you can't start writing [TS]

00:53:40 ◼   ► another script for another thing like [TS]

00:53:41 ◼   ► there's two videos that I'm working on [TS]

00:53:43 ◼   ► and that's it so one of them was the one [TS]

00:53:46 ◼   ► that just went up and the other one is [TS]

00:53:48 ◼   ► one that's still in progress when you [TS]

00:53:51 ◼   ► get those ideas though do you still [TS]

00:53:53 ◼   ► record them what do you let them go like [TS]

00:53:55 ◼   ► you have an idea for something else do [TS]

00:53:57 ◼   ► you just like oh my kawai yeah it's this [TS]

00:54:01 ◼   ► is a habit that is ingrained in me very [TS]

00:54:04 ◼   ► thoroughly now is that when I have an [TS]

00:54:05 ◼   ► idea about something i just write it [TS]

00:54:06 ◼   ► down and maybe I'll do something with [TS]

00:54:09 ◼   ► that later maybe I won't but I will [TS]

00:54:10 ◼   ► write it down and I will make a record [TS]

00:54:12 ◼   ► of it and eventually that gets filtered [TS]

00:54:15 ◼   ► through a bunch of reviews and systems [TS]

00:54:16 ◼   ► and like maybe it turns into a thing or [TS]

00:54:18 ◼   ► maybe it doesn't because if I don't [TS]

00:54:20 ◼   ► write it down then my brain really won't [TS]

00:54:22 ◼   ► let it go was like we have to hold on to [TS]

00:54:23 ◼   ► this amazing idea [TS]

00:54:24 ◼   ► like now brain it's okay we made a note [TS]

00:54:26 ◼   ► it's there and we'll get to it later and [TS]

00:54:28 ◼   ► then the brain kind of relax about that [TS]

00:54:30 ◼   ► but what I mean more is I would have [TS]

00:54:33 ◼   ► very often i feel like i want to write [TS]

00:54:38 ◼   ► about some topic and that's the thing [TS]

00:54:42 ◼   ► that much more curtailing on is like [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► look [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► you're going to spend the majority of [TS]

00:54:48 ◼   ► your morning writing on these two videos [TS]

00:54:51 ◼   ► only and you can't spend a whole morning [TS]

00:54:54 ◼   ► writing on another video because i can [TS]

00:54:57 ◼   ► try to set like I have pre-decided these [TS]

00:55:00 ◼   ► two videos are the ones that i am [TS]

00:55:02 ◼   ► working on and I have two slots [TS]

00:55:03 ◼   ► available and when one of those slots [TS]

00:55:06 ◼   ► freeze up like then the next video that [TS]

00:55:08 ◼   ► i will make a decision about will go in [TS]

00:55:09 ◼   ► that free slot so we'll have 22 on the [TS]

00:55:12 ◼   ► burners at once but no more than two as [TS]

00:55:15 ◼   ► opposed to previously when I was just [TS]

00:55:16 ◼   ► like jumping around all the time and as [TS]

00:55:18 ◼   ► we discussed in the last episode i think [TS]

00:55:19 ◼   ► the jumping around was related to my [TS]

00:55:22 ◼   ► media consumption so i think that that [TS]

00:55:25 ◼   ► is that's that's definitely related but [TS]

00:55:27 ◼   ► in a more in a more direct way something [TS]

00:55:31 ◼   ► that I thought was interesting so when I [TS]

00:55:34 ◼   ► put the video up I did [TS]

00:55:38 ◼   ► relax a lot of my controls about like [TS]

00:55:40 ◼   ► I'm not going to go on social media is [TS]

00:55:42 ◼   ► simply because like the video is so [TS]

00:55:44 ◼   ► fundamental to my business and it is so [TS]

00:55:46 ◼   ► important it's like okay it would just [TS]

00:55:47 ◼   ► be stupid not to be on reddit today [TS]
