00:17:58 ◼   ► observe somebody else's working hours [TS]

00:18:01 ◼   ► and kind of in place them on your own a [TS]

00:18:02 ◼   ► little bit and it's why you know we [TS]

00:18:09 ◼   ► some stuff in there in the evening which [TS]

00:18:11 ◼   ► is still for people that are awake in [TS]

00:18:48 ◼   ► overlap between her working hours in my [TS]

00:18:51 ◼   ► working hours and when I am open to the [TS]

00:18:54 ◼   ► world versus close to the world like it [TS]

00:18:55 ◼   ► is just the perfect time zone ever [TS]

00:18:58 ◼   ► relationally to me and so if if I ever [TS]

00:19:01 ◼   ► had if I ever had to get another [TS]

00:19:02 ◼   ► assistant it would be like tell me where [TS]

00:19:04 ◼   ► you are in time zone world like this [TS]

00:19:06 ◼   ► this is hugely important Weiss's do you [TS]

00:19:09 ◼   ► find central to be better than Easton [TS]

00:19:10 ◼   ► well it's it's a combination of when she [TS]

00:19:14 ◼   ► gets up because she happens to get up [TS]

00:19:16 ◼   ► very early right so if she was in if she [TS]

00:19:19 ◼   ► was keeping normal working hours eastern [TS]

00:19:20 ◼   ► time zone would probably be better but [TS]

00:19:22 ◼   ► her her schedule has kind of shifted [TS]

00:19:24 ◼   ► very early in the day and it is also a [TS]

00:19:26 ◼   ► side effect of I I I think I mentioned [TS]

00:19:31 ◼   ► this before but I really do try to [TS]

00:19:32 ◼   ► quarantine my mornings like I don't want [TS]

00:19:34 ◼   ► the external world involved in my [TS]

00:19:36 ◼   ► mornings at all so it's like by the time [TS]

00:19:43 ◼   ► is around the time that she is starting [TS]

00:19:45 ◼   ► her day right and so she has like the [TS]

00:19:48 ◼   ► whole day ahead of her to do stuff [TS]

00:19:49 ◼   ► whereas I wouldn't want or need someone [TS]

00:19:53 ◼   ► available to me in the morning [TS]

00:19:55 ◼   ► because I would never be sending [TS]

00:19:57 ◼   ► requests or receiving information from [TS]

00:20:00 ◼   ► someone during those times like that [TS]

00:20:02 ◼   ► that's when I tried to do bald off from [TS]

00:20:05 ◼   ► revelation in the last two weeks hmm I [TS]

00:20:08 ◼   ► thought I was this way right that I like [TS]

00:20:10 ◼   ► my quiet time in the morning and I do [TS]

00:20:16 ◼   ► I'm working with to be available to me [TS]

00:20:19 ◼   ► and the difference in our business right [TS]

00:20:24 ◼   ► creative work completely and I'm doing [TS]

00:20:26 ◼   ► some of that but I'm also dealing with [TS]

00:20:29 ◼   ► paperwork and don't sponsor copy and [TS]

00:20:32 ◼   ► stuff in that time in the morning and I [TS]

00:20:38 ◼   ► want someone to be awake just in US [TS]

00:20:43 ◼   ► recording shows so I can't work with my [TS]

00:20:47 ◼   ► assistant it actually became important [TS]

00:20:49 ◼   ► to me to realize that oh maybe I need [TS]

00:20:50 ◼   ► somebody who can overlap for both so I [TS]

00:20:53 ◼   ► have somebody who's available during my [TS]

00:20:55 ◼   ► morning my quiet morning before America [TS]

00:20:58 ◼   ► wakes up but then also up until like [TS]

00:21:12 ◼   ► something like just that x don't exist [TS]

00:21:14 ◼   ► when would that even be I had no idea [TS]

00:21:15 ◼   ► like have you worked this out on a piece [TS]

00:25:48 ◼   ► this is this is this I find as part of [TS]

00:25:51 ◼   ► the whole process is explaining how you [TS]

00:25:55 ◼   ► do things to another person it's it's [TS]

00:25:58 ◼   ► just like when we're having a [TS]

00:25:59 ◼   ► conversation talking about anything [TS]

00:26:00 ◼   ► right but whenever someone's talking out [TS]

00:26:02 ◼   ► loud their own thoughts you you're [TS]

00:26:04 ◼   ► thinking about it as well and especially [TS]

00:26:06 ◼   ► when you have to explain it to someone [TS]

00:26:08 ◼   ► else all of the flaws become much more [TS]

00:26:10 ◼   ► obvious right or I I know I definitely [TS]

00:26:25 ◼   ► I also haven't thought about this [TS]

00:26:26 ◼   ► particular part of the process you know [TS]

00:26:29 ◼   ► very much at all until this this moment [TS]

00:26:31 ◼   ► so yeah that's I think that's what [TS]

00:26:33 ◼   ► you're going to find is that as you go [TS]

00:26:34 ◼   ► through your own thing [TS]

00:26:35 ◼   ► you're going to realize ways to do it [TS]

00:26:38 ◼   ► better and also ways to do it [TS]

00:26:40 ◼   ► differently when you're working with [TS]

00:26:41 ◼   ► somebody else it what that was honestly [TS]

00:26:44 ◼   ► as uncomfortable and difficult some of [TS]

00:26:46 ◼   ► that stuff's going to be for me this was [TS]

00:26:49 ◼   ► part of my motivation and even beginning [TS]

00:26:51 ◼   ► this process was it's time to get some [TS]

00:26:55 ◼   ► of this stuff out of my brain mm and put [TS]

00:26:58 ◼   ► it down on paper and establish systems [TS]

00:27:02 ◼   ► and processes loop because we need that [TS]

00:27:05 ◼   ► if the business is going to keep growing [TS]

00:27:07 ◼   ► right like that's what it has to be [TS]

00:27:09 ◼   ► right we're kind of me we're kind of [TS]

00:27:11 ◼   ► hitting that point now where it's less [TS]

00:27:13 ◼   ► kind of making it up as we go along and [TS]

00:27:15 ◼   ► we kind of have to write some of this [TS]

00:27:17 ◼   ► stuff down yeah and also the like you [TS]

00:27:20 ◼   ► said getting things out of your head and [TS]

00:27:22 ◼   ► getting them into being a process i [TS]

00:27:26 ◼   ► still think for me the most the most [TS]

00:27:28 ◼   ► shocking example of a process that i was [TS]

00:27:34 ◼   ► originally doing that i had kept all in [TS]

00:27:36 ◼   ► my head was the process of making the [TS]

00:27:40 ◼   ► hello internet podcast go live right [TS]

00:27:42 ◼   ► which was a thing that I used to be [TS]

00:27:43 ◼   ► responsible for the whole of that and [TS]

00:27:46 ◼   ► when I started having my assistant help [TS]

00:27:49 ◼   ► help with that we were going through it [TS]

00:27:52 ◼   ► like we did it we did a the way we did [TS]

00:27:55 ◼   ► it was when I was putting an episode up [TS]

00:27:58 ◼   ► live we did a screen sharing chat [TS]

00:28:00 ◼   ► together so it's like I'm gonna do this [TS]

00:28:02 ◼   ► you're going to watch you're going to be [TS]

00:28:05 ◼   ► writing down the process as you go along [TS]

00:28:07 ◼   ► and then afterwards like we'll take a [TS]

00:28:09 ◼   ► look at the checklist and like well [TS]

00:28:11 ◼   ► we'll build this up but I'm gonna go [TS]

00:28:13 ◼   ► through it once and you see and then [TS]

00:28:15 ◼   ► let's figure out how to do this I think [TS]

00:28:17 ◼   ► one difference between me and you though [TS]

00:28:18 ◼   ► is that we won't be doing this in [TS]

00:28:19 ◼   ► silence no I wasn't in silence we were [TS]

00:28:21 ◼   ► talking to each other oh you said you'd [TS]

00:28:23 ◼   ► only ever exchanged one word no we've I [TS]

00:28:26 ◼   ► think maybe spoken to each other ten [TS]

00:28:29 ◼   ► times in three years okay whatever right [TS]

00:28:32 ◼   ► and if this was one of those times we've [TS]

00:28:34 ◼   ► never done like a FaceTime phone call [TS]

00:28:36 ◼   ► right but this was just a screen sharing [TS]

00:28:38 ◼   ► thing and it's useful to do it in voice [TS]

00:28:40 ◼   ► because voice is just higher bandwidth [TS]

00:28:41 ◼   ► well you have to if you're gonna do this [TS]

00:28:43 ◼   ► stuff it would be mind-boggling to try [TS]

00:28:46 ◼   ► and do that any other way that's [TS]

00:28:49 ◼   ► I'm with you with that one out if it [TS]

00:28:50 ◼   ► would be ridiculous well but this is [TS]

00:28:53 ◼   ► yeah if we ridiculous but I would say [TS]

00:28:55 ◼   ► that that was the most shocking thing to [TS]

00:28:58 ◼   ► me was and as I've mentioned before like [TS]

00:29:01 ◼   ► I had a big checklist that I was using [TS]

00:29:02 ◼   ► for here's all the switches that need to [TS]

00:29:04 ◼   ► be flipped putting it up on YouTube [TS]

00:29:05 ◼   ► putting up on patreon for doing all the [TS]

00:29:07 ◼   ► back end on the system like filling in [TS]

00:29:10 ◼   ► all the metadata tat like all of this [TS]

00:29:11 ◼   ► like there's tons of stuff like I [TS]

00:29:12 ◼   ► already had a really long checklist but [TS]

00:29:15 ◼   ► when we went through it and it has to be [TS]

00:29:18 ◼   ► explained in a way that a person who is [TS]

00:29:19 ◼   ► totally unfamiliar with this system can [TS]

00:29:22 ◼   ► do it I realized oh this checklist it [TS]

00:29:26 ◼   ► ended up exploding to be like five times [TS]

00:29:28 ◼   ► the size because even when I thought I [TS]

00:29:30 ◼   ► had written down everything you just [TS]

00:29:33 ◼   ► don't realize all of the little things [TS]

00:29:35 ◼   ► that you don't even think are part of [TS]

00:29:38 ◼   ► the process that you're just doing [TS]

00:29:39 ◼   ► automatically but that are not going to [TS]

00:29:41 ◼   ► be obvious to somebody else who is [TS]

00:29:42 ◼   ► unfamiliar with it and so now we have [TS]

00:29:54 ◼   ► all of the steps that are required not [TS]

00:30:06 ◼   ► different things but I'm constantly [TS]

00:30:15 ◼   ► working with other people I'm expecting [TS]

00:30:17 ◼   ► a bit more of like why do you do it that [TS]

00:30:19 ◼   ► way I'm like I can tell you why it was [TS]

00:34:41 ◼   ► did which is something that i was very [TS]

00:34:43 ◼   ► excited about and i spent a couple of [TS]

00:34:48 ◼   ► obviously playing and making a video [TS]

00:34:50 ◼   ► about it as well and a decision that I [TS]

00:34:57 ◼   ► video mmm and that made it way harder [TS]

00:35:01 ◼   ► mm-hmm because I had to shoot enough [TS]

00:35:04 ◼   ► footage to fill my audio but it was a [TS]

00:35:08 ◼   ► constraint that I set for myself to try [TS]

00:35:12 ◼   ► and flex my muscles in making a video in [TS]

00:35:17 ◼   ► this way so like a video about a piece [TS]

00:35:20 ◼   ► of technology Lou and I figured that the [TS]

00:35:23 ◼   ► further away I took it from being a vlog [TS]

00:35:25 ◼   ► the better just to put myself through [TS]

00:35:28 ◼   ► that exercise [TS]

00:35:29 ◼   ► like in the future when I make videos [TS]

00:35:31 ◼   ► like this I will probably have sections [TS]

00:35:33 ◼   ► where I'm also talking to the camera [TS]

00:35:35 ◼   ► because honestly it made it harder than [TS]

00:35:38 ◼   ► it should have been to put this video [TS]

00:35:40 ◼   ► together but I'm still pleased about the [TS]

00:35:43 ◼   ► decision that I made because it forced [TS]

00:35:45 ◼   ► my hand in a bunch of ways to like be [TS]

00:35:47 ◼   ► really heavy handed with cutting the [TS]

00:35:51 ◼   ► audio down I've recorded and also into [TS]

00:35:54 ◼   ► working out ways to stretch out the [TS]

00:35:56 ◼   ► product footage that I had to try out [TS]

00:36:34 ◼   ► what I wanted to talk about today in [TS]

00:36:36 ◼   ► regards to this video is about when [TS]

00:36:40 ◼   ► something's good enough so I had a real [TS]

00:36:45 ◼   ► clear vision in my mind for how this [TS]

00:36:48 ◼   ► video would look and it was a vision I [TS]

00:36:51 ◼   ► never could have achieved with this [TS]

00:36:53 ◼   ► video right because I watch a lot of [TS]

00:36:57 ◼   ► these sort of tech youtubers right like [TS]

00:37:00 ◼   ► I have like mkbhd and Austin Evans [TS]

00:37:16 ◼   ► I wasn't fooling myself right they have [TS]

00:37:19 ◼   ► a lot of experience they're very good at [TS]

00:37:21 ◼   ► what they do they have all of the [TS]

00:37:23 ◼   ► knowledge and the technology all built [TS]

00:37:25 ◼   ► up but that was in my mind I'm going for [TS]

00:37:28 ◼   ► that style that's the endgame if I want [TS]

00:37:31 ◼   ► to make stuff that's like this now as [TS]

00:37:33 ◼   ► well hmm I had an idea in my mind for I [TS]

00:37:37 ◼   ► wanted it to be and then I had an idea [TS]

00:37:39 ◼   ► for what I felt like I could achieve [TS]

00:37:42 ◼   ► so I was like I was being realistic with [TS]

00:37:44 ◼   ► myself and kind of setting a ball lower [TS]

00:37:45 ◼   ► all right so you're already you're [TS]

00:37:47 ◼   ► already saying I'm doing a doing the [TS]

00:37:49 ◼   ► formats which here's a thing that I want [TS]

00:37:52 ◼   ► to aim for yep i'd love for it to be an [TS]

00:37:55 ◼   ► 8k resolution yeah but we're not gonna [TS]

00:37:57 ◼   ► start there nope so you're knocking it [TS]

00:38:00 ◼   ► down and you're saying all right here's [TS]

00:38:03 ◼   ► what I think I can achieve that is in [TS]

00:38:07 ◼   ► this genre like that'sthat's the actual [TS]

00:38:09 ◼   ► starting point lips that you're going [TS]

00:38:11 ◼   ► for yeah like this is the bar of quality [TS]

00:38:14 ◼   ► that i think i could maybe get right hmm [TS]

00:38:17 ◼   ► now i think that i probably only got [TS]

00:38:21 ◼   ► about sixty or seventy percent to that [TS]

00:38:23 ◼   ► point to the revised starting to the [TS]

00:38:26 ◼   ► revised goal right and it's because it's [TS]

00:38:32 ◼   ► really difficult to do this sort of [TS]

00:38:34 ◼   ► stuff it's really difficult for me to [TS]

00:38:37 ◼   ► try and achieve some shots without the [TS]

00:38:40 ◼   ► right equipment OOP because a lot of the [TS]

00:38:43 ◼   ► stuff the way you see like you know like [TS]

00:38:44 ◼   ► the camera moving around the device like [TS]

00:38:47 ◼   ► i have some little bits that i'd [TS]

00:38:49 ◼   ► purchased but they weren't the optimum [TS]

00:38:51 ◼   ► solution so they would provide not as [TS]

00:38:55 ◼   ► good a look right and also the camera [TS]

00:38:57 ◼   ► that i'm using is like a point-and-shoot [TS]

00:38:59 ◼   ► camera right like it's not a red yeah [TS]

00:39:01 ◼   ► exactly you know so like there are [TS]

00:39:03 ◼   ► things where like I wasn't aware that [TS]

00:39:06 ◼   ► there was some stuff that I wouldn't be [TS]

00:39:07 ◼   ► able to do with the equipment that i had [TS]

00:39:09 ◼   ► right just at all like I thought that [TS]

00:39:11 ◼   ► maybe I could try and fake some stuff [TS]

00:39:13 ◼   ► but that didn't really work out no this [TS]

00:39:16 ◼   ► is this is the thing that think is just [TS]

00:39:19 ◼   ► so interesting and is and also is the [TS]

00:39:21 ◼   ► input but like like we're we're always [TS]

00:39:24 ◼   ► saying people should just start like if [TS]

00:39:27 ◼   ► you want to make a podcast or if you [TS]

00:39:28 ◼   ► want to make youtube videos like there's [TS]

00:39:29 ◼   ► no barrier here like just get started [TS]

00:39:31 ◼   ► right just just try but I think this is [TS]

00:39:34 ◼   ► this is interesting flip side which is [TS]

00:39:36 ◼   ► that while it is easy to say most of [TS]

00:39:41 ◼   ► these things that look like they are [TS]

00:39:43 ◼   ► easy to produce you just don't realize [TS]

00:39:46 ◼   ► how much is involved behind the scenes [TS]

00:39:50 ◼   ► and I think it's because like I give I'm [TS]

00:39:54 ◼   ► watching a review of a tech product [TS]

00:39:55 ◼   ► probably because I'm in this world but [TS]

00:39:58 ◼   ► there is a part of my brain that is [TS]

00:40:00 ◼   ► always cycling in the back like thinking [TS]

00:40:02 ◼   ► of all of the shots but look at all of [TS]

00:40:04 ◼   ► these different locations that they're [TS]

00:40:06 ◼   ► shooting this product in look at all of [TS]

00:40:08 ◼   ► these different cuts like every single [TS]

00:40:10 ◼   ► one of these had to be a cut that was or [TS]

00:40:11 ◼   ► a shot that was set up and for [TS]

00:40:13 ◼   ► everything that was set up they probably [TS]

00:40:14 ◼   ► discarded a whole bunch of other stuff [TS]

00:40:16 ◼   ► and then there's also the thing that [TS]

00:40:18 ◼   ► falls into the world of the things you [TS]

00:40:20 ◼   ► don't realize and this is like what [TS]

00:40:24 ◼   ► you're saying I one has a smooth moving [TS]

00:40:26 ◼   ► around the product shot and you think [TS]

00:40:28 ◼   ► how hard can that be and the answer is [TS]

00:40:30 ◼   ► without the right equipment that shot is [TS]

00:40:33 ◼   ► impossible like you can't you can't fake [TS]

00:40:35 ◼   ► it and it will just it will look all [TS]

00:40:38 ◼   ► wrong on camera because you don't have [TS]

00:40:41 ◼   ► the machine that's able to twirl the [TS]

00:40:43 ◼   ► camera around a fixed point in a smooth [TS]

00:40:45 ◼   ► motion and it turns out like there's no [TS]

00:40:47 ◼   ► faking that you can't possibly get [TS]

00:40:49 ◼   ► around it but like to go back to that [TS]

00:40:51 ◼   ► original the original point that we made [TS]

00:40:53 ◼   ► a long time ago that you can make this [TS]

00:40:55 ◼   ► stuff without the technology that's [TS]

00:40:57 ◼   ► still true but just don't try and do [TS]

00:40:59 ◼   ► what I tried to do Yeah right don't say [TS]

00:41:02 ◼   ► I'm not going to be on camera because it [TS]

00:41:04 ◼   ► I would have been able to make this [TS]

00:41:05 ◼   ► video I think all in all look better [TS]

00:41:08 ◼   ► like the overall look at the video would [TS]

00:41:10 ◼   ► have been better if I would have taken [TS]

00:41:11 ◼   ► out some of the stuff that didn't work [TS]

00:41:13 ◼   ► like you got to a certain point where [TS]

00:41:15 ◼   ► it's like this is as much as i can give [TS]

00:41:17 ◼   ► right yeah and yeah and what you were [TS]

00:41:19 ◼   ► saying i think is also very important is [TS]

00:41:21 ◼   ► to understand and work with the [TS]

00:41:27 ◼   ► limitations that you have all right like [TS]

00:41:29 ◼   ► if like if you're doing a vlog yeah you [TS]

00:41:34 ◼   ► shouldn't be aiming for like the thing [TS]

00:41:36 ◼   ► that I produce is going to look like a [TS]

00:41:38 ◼   ► Casey nice that video right with super [TS]

00:41:40 ◼   ► professional drone footage and fancy [TS]

00:41:43 ◼   ► timelapses and all the rest of that but [TS]

00:41:45 ◼   ► there's still a whole universe of vlog [TS]

00:41:48 ◼   ► stuff that can be done that can be [TS]

00:41:50 ◼   ► interesting within different constraints [TS]

00:41:52 ◼   ► and it's just to be aware I like what [TS]

00:41:54 ◼   ► equipment do i have and what is [TS]

00:41:56 ◼   ► something that can be done within this [TS]

00:41:58 ◼   ► universe of equipment like that's that's [TS]

00:42:01 ◼   ► a very different thing and it's easy to [TS]

00:42:04 ◼   ► not be aware of how hard it is to get [TS]

00:42:07 ◼   ► some super professional looking stuff [TS]

00:42:09 ◼   ► like I think we've discussed this before [TS]

00:42:10 ◼   ► but I'm I'm always amazed by people just [TS]

00:42:13 ◼   ► not noticing how much work can go into [TS]

00:42:17 ◼   ► producing something that's super high [TS]

00:42:19 ◼   ► quality yeah but that doesn't mean that [TS]

00:42:21 ◼   ► that like if you can't hit that mark you [TS]

00:42:23 ◼   ► shouldn't you shouldn't try but just be [TS]

00:42:31 ◼   ► you want to do you can't do yet but you [TS]

00:42:34 ◼   ► can still create something else that [TS]

00:42:37 ◼   ► just looks different so I feel like I [TS]

00:42:40 ◼   ► ended up getting like sixty percent of [TS]

00:42:41 ◼   ► the way there right like that's kind of [TS]

00:42:43 ◼   ► where I think I got to and I then [TS]

00:42:48 ◼   ► started reshoot in some stuff hmm [TS]

00:48:17 ◼   ► my mind this video just it just isn't [TS]

00:48:19 ◼   ► what I wanted it to be but it got to a [TS]

00:48:22 ◼   ► certain point where I was like it just [TS]

00:48:24 ◼   ► has to go out there and I've learned a [TS]

00:48:25 ◼   ► bunch a lot of the stuff that I've [TS]

00:48:27 ◼   ► learned I don't think I'll still be able [TS]

00:48:28 ◼   ► to do most of it you know like he's like [TS]

00:48:31 ◼   ► okay I know this thing now but I still [TS]

00:48:33 ◼   ► don't know how to do it like I know how [TS]

00:48:35 ◼   ► to fix it but I can't fix it right does [TS]

00:48:37 ◼   ► that make sense right like there's a [TS]

00:48:39 ◼   ► thing that I know will make this thing [TS]

00:48:40 ◼   ► better someone has told me I understand [TS]

00:48:42 ◼   ► what they're saying but I don't know how [TS]

00:48:44 ◼   ► to do it still there's several things [TS]

00:48:46 ◼   ► here right with it sounds like that part [TS]

00:48:48 ◼   ► that you're talking about is just a pure [TS]

00:48:50 ◼   ► technical skill all right like I think [TS]

00:48:54 ◼   ► the video is really good and I think it [TS]

00:48:55 ◼   ► is very impressive especially [TS]

00:48:57 ◼   ► considering that it is the first kind of [TS]

00:49:00 ◼   ► video that you have ever done like this [TS]

00:49:01 ◼   ► right there are some shots where I can [TS]

00:49:04 ◼   ► look at and say like oh that that shot [TS]

00:49:06 ◼   ► is overexposed all right but this is the [TS]

00:49:08 ◼   ► kind of stuff that like nobody cares [TS]

00:49:10 ◼   ► right it's nobody watching those videos [TS]

00:49:13 ◼   ► notices or really cares about those [TS]

00:49:16 ◼   ► things but you is the person making it [TS]

00:49:18 ◼   ► are aware of two things you're hyper [TS]

00:49:21 ◼   ► aware of any of the little problems like [TS]

00:49:24 ◼   ► an overexposed shot or something out of [TS]

00:49:26 ◼   ► focus in a way that nobody who's [TS]

00:49:28 ◼   ► watching the thing will ever notice in a [TS]

00:49:29 ◼   ► thousand years and just like you're [TS]

00:49:32 ◼   ► saying this whole time you're also extra [TS]

00:49:34 ◼   ► sensitive because in your mind you have [TS]

00:49:36 ◼   ► the idea of what the thing was supposed [TS]

00:49:38 ◼   ► to be and then there's the actual thing [TS]

00:49:41 ◼   ► that you have created right and I mean I [TS]

00:49:44 ◼   ► don't know about you but I feel like I [TS]

00:49:45 ◼   ► have never put anything on the internet [TS]

00:49:50 ◼   ► that I felt like yeah that was that's [TS]

00:49:52 ◼   ► what I was going for I nailed it yeah [TS]

00:49:55 ◼   ► right it's like even even my reference [TS]

00:49:58 ◼   ► is like the the video that for me was [TS]

00:50:00 ◼   ► the easiest and the closest ever was my [TS]

00:50:01 ◼   ► Netherlands video like that is the [TS]

00:50:03 ◼   ► closest I've ever come to like having an [TS]

00:50:05 ◼   ► idea and executing it but even that's [TS]

00:50:08 ◼   ► not not perfect like there's mistakes in [TS]

00:50:10 ◼   ► that thing there's there's shots that I [TS]

00:50:12 ◼   ► don't like and this is also why I very [TS]

00:50:15 ◼   ► rarely very rarely watch stuff after i [TS]

00:50:18 ◼   ► put it up right or listen to podcasts [TS]

00:50:22 ◼   ► after the after the editing phase [TS]

00:50:24 ◼   ► because all i'm aware of is like oh that [TS]

00:50:27 ◼   ► conversation didn't go the way it was [TS]

00:50:29 ◼   ► supposed to in my head I didn't hit any [TS]

00:50:31 ◼   ► of the points that I wanted to hit or [TS]

00:50:33 ◼   ► you look watch a video and you feel like [TS]

00:50:34 ◼   ► oh look at this look at this parade of [TS]

00:50:36 ◼   ► failures right that I had all these [TS]

00:50:38 ◼   ► things I wanted to do and I was only [TS]

00:50:40 ◼   ► able to do sixty percent of them I think [TS]

00:50:43 ◼   ► that's just naturally part of its [TS]

00:50:45 ◼   ► naturally just part of the creation [TS]

00:50:46 ◼   ► process so you still feel that way with [TS]

00:50:49 ◼   ► your youtube videos then so that was [TS]

00:50:50 ◼   ► what I wondered like I wondered if if [TS]

00:50:52 ◼   ► this gets you to oh yeah oh yeah without [TS]

00:50:55 ◼   ► a doubt like it definitely does I feel [TS]

00:50:58 ◼   ► that way with podcasts I feel that way [TS]

00:50:59 ◼   ► with videos you know like the rules for [TS]

00:51:03 ◼   ► rulers video you know my last [TS]

00:51:04 ◼   ► video that I put out like you know I [TS]

00:51:06 ◼   ► haven't watched that since it went up [TS]

00:51:08 ◼   ► because I remember even the last couple [TS]

00:51:10 ◼   ► times when I'm watching it after it goes [TS]

00:51:12 ◼   ► live just to make sure everything's fine [TS]

00:51:13 ◼   ► you know looking at it like oh look look [TS]

00:51:16 ◼   ► at all of these missed opportunities [TS]

00:51:17 ◼   ► right all over the place things I didn't [TS]

00:51:20 ◼   ► do ideas that I wanted two points that I [TS]

00:51:22 ◼   ► don't feel like I explained very well [TS]

00:51:23 ◼   ► yeah of course I really feel like this [TS]

00:51:26 ◼   ► is just naturally naturally part of the [TS]

00:51:29 ◼   ► part of the process this is funny like [TS]

00:51:31 ◼   ► because usually I think one of the [TS]

00:51:34 ◼   ► things that we try to do on this show is [TS]

00:51:35 ◼   ► to talk about something and then offer [TS]

00:51:37 ◼   ► some advice right like this is how you [TS]

00:51:39 ◼   ► can maybe try and make this thing better [TS]

00:51:41 ◼   ► but like this is one of those times [TS]

00:51:43 ◼   ► where I don't think there is any right I [TS]

00:51:45 ◼   ► think there is no advice really like [TS]

00:51:47 ◼   ► he's just this is I feel like this is [TS]

00:51:49 ◼   ► just a thing that people that make stuff [TS]

00:51:51 ◼   ► no matter what it is they go through and [TS]

00:51:55 ◼   ► that's just kind of it really like we go [TS]

00:51:58 ◼   ► through it yeah there's no I don't think [TS]

00:52:02 ◼   ► there's a way to fix it now it gets [TS]

00:52:04 ◼   ► easier with time right because you know [TS]

00:52:06 ◼   ► over time i will get sixty five percent [TS]

00:52:09 ◼   ► of the way because i will get better so [TS]

00:52:11 ◼   ► there'll be things that i'll do which [TS]

00:52:12 ◼   ► will become easier I feel like you're [TS]

00:52:14 ◼   ► very optimistic about the progress of [TS]

00:52:15 ◼   ► that logarithmic curve right I think [TS]

00:52:17 ◼   ► that's gonna be a very long time right [TS]

00:52:19 ◼   ► but like I'll get a 60 and a half [TS]

00:52:21 ◼   ► percent yeah that's my yes yeah that's [TS]

00:52:23 ◼   ► that's kind of what happens because the [TS]

00:52:25 ◼   ► problem is as your skills increase your [TS]

00:52:27 ◼   ► vision increases faster alright so it's [TS]

00:52:30 ◼   ► like ooh actually I think I could do [TS]

00:52:31 ◼   ► even more so maybe it even goes down oh [TS]

00:52:33 ◼   ► I've achieved fifty percent of what i [TS]

00:52:35 ◼   ► wanted to write like I think one of the [TS]

00:52:37 ◼   ► things that has made it easier with me [TS]

00:52:39 ◼   ► over time with podcast editing mm-hmm [TS]

00:52:41 ◼   ► it's not I've gotten better at hiding [TS]

00:52:43 ◼   ► things so like as I've learned how to do [TS]

00:52:47 ◼   ► stuff more I've worked out some little [TS]

00:52:49 ◼   ► tricks you know a way to hide something [TS]

00:52:51 ◼   ► or a way to move around something or a [TS]

00:52:53 ◼   ► way to like take attention away from [TS]

00:52:55 ◼   ► like what is actually occurring right as [TS]

00:52:58 ◼   ► a way to cover up the thing that was [TS]

00:53:01 ◼   ► wrong that you can't fix mmm-hmm and I [TS]

00:53:04 ◼   ► and I think that once you get to that [TS]

00:53:05 ◼   ► stage you become more comfortable please [TS]

00:53:08 ◼   ► I feel like that but you know every bit [TS]

00:53:10 ◼   ► and so like I think that with most sort [TS]

00:53:12 ◼   ► of stuff that I do which is like [TS]

00:53:13 ◼   ► business as usual I'm okay with putting [TS]

00:53:16 ◼   ► it out there [TS]

00:53:17 ◼   ► right but it's when I do something [TS]

00:53:19 ◼   ► completely new like this switch video [TS]

00:53:22 ◼   ► it's it's trickier like I don't feel [TS]

00:53:25 ◼   ► this way so much with all of the vlog [TS]

00:53:27 ◼   ► episodes that I do like I feel like I [TS]

00:53:30 ◼   ► made me feel like about it with like [TS]

00:53:32 ◼   ► certain segments you know well I'm like [TS]

00:53:35 ◼   ► this was a new thing that I tried and it [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► didn't go as well as I wanted but like I [TS]

00:53:39 ◼   ► felt that way when I was first doing it [TS]

00:53:40 ◼   ► as you know like I spoke about it on the [TS]

00:53:42 ◼   ► show just like my dread letting the [TS]

00:53:44 ◼   ► world see these things I've made hmm but [TS]

00:53:47 ◼   ► I kind of gotten to the point where I [TS]

00:53:49 ◼   ► was comfortable enough to turn the [TS]

00:53:50 ◼   ► camera on it felt like I could kind of [TS]

00:53:51 ◼   ► achieve something that I was looking for [TS]

00:53:53 ◼   ► which was another reason why I decided [TS]

00:53:55 ◼   ► to make this video such a drastic [TS]

00:53:57 ◼   ► departure hmm knowing that there would [TS]

00:53:59 ◼   ► be a certain element of doubt that I [TS]

00:54:01 ◼   ► will put on myself but I feel like yeah [TS]

00:54:04 ◼   ► it's part of the creation process and it [TS]

00:54:07 ◼   ► gets easier in certain ways but like [TS]

00:54:09 ◼   ► very rightly as you said it also think [TS]

00:54:11 ◼   ► it's hard again in new ways and you also [TS]

00:54:14 ◼   ► have the problem like with this [TS]

00:54:16 ◼   ► particular project that all of this is [TS]

00:54:19 ◼   ► all of these feelings are heightened [TS]

00:54:22 ◼   ► because it is something new and so you [TS]

00:54:25 ◼   ► have a much greater level of uncertainty [TS]

00:54:27 ◼   ► about how is it going to be received [TS]

00:54:29 ◼   ► right that it's like you you know you [TS]

00:54:31 ◼   ► you made whatever it is six episodes of [TS]

00:54:34 ◼   ► a vlog before this thing went out and so [TS]

00:54:36 ◼   ► you had some some sense by episode 6 of [TS]

00:54:39 ◼   ► how are people probably going to receive [TS]

00:54:41 ◼   ► a vlog episode but then changing it up [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► you never know how people are going to [TS]

00:54:46 ◼   ► take that and that's that's kind of why [TS]

00:54:48 ◼   ► I was giving you like a little bit of a [TS]

00:54:49 ◼   ► pretend hard time in the opening like oh [TS]

00:54:51 ◼   ► my god you did something different in [TS]

00:54:53 ◼   ► your vlog because I feel very strongly [TS]

00:54:57 ◼   ► about this that there is this real [TS]

00:54:59 ◼   ► tension between the audience and the [TS]

00:55:02 ◼   ► Creator when it comes to new things that [TS]

00:55:06 ◼   ► I think it is vitally important for the [TS]

00:55:11 ◼   ► creators to do and try new things like [TS]

00:55:15 ◼   ► this is this is one of the reasons why [TS]

00:55:18 ◼   ► I'm very very intent on not having a [TS]

00:55:21 ◼   ► particular topic for my youtube channel [TS]

00:55:24 ◼   ► because it says like I'm gonna be doing [TS]

00:55:26 ◼   ► videos on things that interest me and [TS]

00:55:28 ◼   ► this is this isn't [TS]

00:55:30 ◼   ► there isn't an expectation of what is [TS]

00:55:32 ◼   ► the topic always going to be we're [TS]

00:55:34 ◼   ► looking through the back catalogue like [TS]

00:55:35 ◼   ► some of my videos are very different [TS]

00:55:37 ◼   ► from other ones and i think that's [TS]

00:55:40 ◼   ► that's a very that's an intentional [TS]

00:55:42 ◼   ► thing like i think it is important for [TS]

00:55:44 ◼   ► creators to do things differently but if [TS]

00:55:50 ◼   ► you generate any kind of audience you [TS]

00:55:54 ◼   ► have that audience because people like [TS]

00:55:56 ◼   ► the thing that you do and and so they [TS]

00:55:58 ◼   ► want more of the same thing always and [TS]

00:56:01 ◼   ► for you is a creator that might not be [TS]

00:56:06 ◼   ► what you want to do I think of course [TS]

00:56:08 ◼   ► like the most the most high level public [TS]

00:56:11 ◼   ► version of this that's happening right [TS]

00:56:13 ◼   ► now is like pewdiepie ak's content has [TS]

00:56:16 ◼   ► really changed over the past years and [TS]

00:56:18 ◼   ► it is very obvious that there is there's [TS]

00:56:21 ◼   ► like a conflict between people who like [TS]

00:56:24 ◼   ► the old stuff and his desire as a [TS]

00:56:28 ◼   ► creator to make new things that are [TS]

00:56:31 ◼   ► different and everybody goes through [TS]

00:56:34 ◼   ► this in one form or another but I think [TS]

00:56:36 ◼   ► it's it really is important to try and [TS]

00:56:40 ◼   ► do different things as a creator but but [TS]

00:56:44 ◼   ► it always puts you on on edge because [TS]

00:56:45 ◼   ► you know like this might go really [TS]

00:56:47 ◼   ► poorly with my pre-existing audience but [TS]

00:56:50 ◼   ► it's like gotta plow ahead anyway and [TS]

00:56:51 ◼   ► you can see this just this pattern of [TS]

00:56:54 ◼   ► creators doing things that are different [TS]

00:56:56 ◼   ► from what their audience wants like you [TS]

00:56:58 ◼   ► see this repeat over and over again even [TS]

00:57:01 ◼   ► in the music industry it's the same [TS]

00:57:02 ◼   ► thing like a band will do the thing and [TS]

00:57:05 ◼   ► they get a huge audience and you see [TS]

00:57:07 ◼   ► like that band in their next album wants [TS]

00:57:10 ◼   ► to do something that's very different [TS]

00:57:11 ◼   ► from what they did previously and their [TS]

00:57:13 ◼   ► audience might not like it's not what I [TS]

00:57:15 ◼   ► signed up for yeah exactly like you did [TS]

00:57:17 ◼   ► a thing that I liked do that forever do [TS]

00:57:20 ◼   ► that until the end of time but it's like [TS]

00:57:22 ◼   ► that's just not how it works if you're [TS]

00:57:25 ◼   ► in any kind of creative field yeah I was [TS]

00:57:28 ◼   ► definitely thinking about this and none [TS]

00:57:30 ◼   ► of the conclusion that i came to is that [TS]

00:57:32 ◼   ► i was early enough along in the process [TS]

00:57:33 ◼   ► that it wouldn't be terrible mmm and it [TS]

00:57:38 ◼   ► was also one of the reasons they died [TS]

00:57:40 ◼   ► gift for people that are watching every [TS]

00:57:42 ◼   ► video [TS]

00:57:43 ◼   ► I tried to like make it very clear that [TS]

00:57:47 ◼   ► I was gonna do this you know it's like [TS]

00:57:49 ◼   ► give people an expectation of it mmm and [TS]

00:57:53 ◼   ► I'm gonna definitely do some of the [TS]

00:57:56 ◼   ► original stuff right like my next video [TS]

00:57:59 ◼   ► will probably well it my next video will [TS]

00:58:02 ◼   ► be a more travel focus vlog again whoo [TS]

00:58:05 ◼   ► because I'm traveling a bunch in April [TS]

00:58:07 ◼   ► but my next one after that will probably [TS]

00:58:11 ◼   ► be or if things go the way that I want a [TS]

00:58:14 ◼   ► review of the new iPad I'll keep our [TS]

00:58:17 ◼   ► fingers crossed yeah I know Oh God [TS]

00:58:19 ◼   ► something please come on unhappy times [TS]

00:58:24 ◼   ► for everyone in the Apple world no [TS]

00:58:25 ◼   ► matter what you like like fingers [TS]

00:58:27 ◼   ► crossed for ipad maybe ever anything and [TS]

00:58:33 ◼   ► then I'm hoping that like as time goes [TS]

00:58:34 ◼   ► on then that's what people expect right [TS]

00:58:36 ◼   ► that they expect to mix of these things [TS]

00:58:38 ◼   ► hmm but right now I still feel like [TS]

00:58:41 ◼   ► there is an element of me making these [TS]

00:58:42 ◼   ► videos for me hmm and that people are [TS]

00:58:46 ◼   ► sharing in that but eventually if things [TS]

00:58:49 ◼   ► go the way that I would like them to I [TS]

00:58:51 ◼   ► do lose a bit of that control and and I [TS]

00:58:54 ◼   ► understand that you have to have to [TS]

00:58:57 ◼   ► respect the audience you know and I [TS]

00:58:59 ◼   ► think that there is a tightrope to walk [TS]

00:59:01 ◼   ► through that if being able to express [TS]

00:59:06 ◼   ► yourself creatively in the way that you [TS]

00:59:07 ◼   ► want to but also giving the people that [TS]

00:59:10 ◼   ► are decided to spend their time with you [TS]

00:59:12 ◼   ► the thing that they want as well yeah [TS]

00:59:14 ◼   ► it's definitely a delicate balancing act [TS]

00:59:16 ◼   ► and you are totally right that in the [TS]

00:59:19 ◼   ► beginning lifecycle of your YouTube [TS]

00:59:22 ◼   ► channel or any creative project you are [TS]

00:59:24 ◼   ► more free to go all over the place and [TS]

00:59:26 ◼   ► as the audience grows that feeling of [TS]

00:59:31 ◼   ► constraints can definitely get stronger [TS]

00:59:34 ◼   ► I also think that it's still important [TS]

00:59:36 ◼   ► to be able to feel like you can do [TS]

00:59:39 ◼   ► something different instead of feeling [TS]

00:59:41 ◼   ► like you're you're trapped in the exact [TS]

00:59:43 ◼   ► same same thing well isn't that what [TS]

00:59:45 ◼   ► your second channels fall right like [TS]

00:59:46 ◼   ► isn't that what they therefore they [TS]

00:59:48 ◼   ► exist right that's as part of the other [TS]

00:59:50 ◼   ► the second channel is so I can put up [TS]

00:59:52 ◼   ► just garbage that took a minute to do [TS]

00:59:54 ◼   ► but that I just think is funny for some [TS]

00:59:55 ◼   ► reason [TS]

00:59:56 ◼   ► that's like but that but it definitely [TS]

00:59:59 ◼   ► is the case that is [TS]

00:59:59 ◼   ► is the case that is [TS]

01:00:00 ◼   ► kind of like a weird outlet of like I'm [TS]

01:00:02 ◼   ► just gonna put up whatever like and it [TS]

01:00:04 ◼   ► doesn't even matter on the second [TS]

01:00:06 ◼   ► channel in a way that I would never do [TS]

01:00:08 ◼   ► on the first channel yeah so just out of [TS]

01:00:11 ◼   ► curiosity Mike do you have any idea how [TS]
