WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.303 Alex: Hello Floatplane, here today we are going to be looking at 00:00:03.303 --> 00:00:06.106 how the heck do we make videos here? 00:00:06.306 --> 00:00:13.713 It is actually quite a lengthy process. Well, it depends video to video; but also there are heaps of people involved at every step. 00:00:13.713 --> 00:00:17.550 So different people are going to be telling you how those different things work. 00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:22.389 And the first thing is me, I'm going to tell you how we come up with video ideas. 00:00:22.389 --> 00:00:28.261 It is really quite simple uh, you sit on the can and you're just kind of like wow, I wonder. 00:00:28.395 --> 00:00:31.965 Or in some other situations, like the one that I have right here. 00:00:32.198 --> 00:00:35.502 Arty will just call out in the middle of a Floatplane exclusive, hey, 00:00:35.802 --> 00:00:39.706 what if we put a computer into a television? And then you guys like it a whole bunch of times 00:00:39.706 --> 00:00:42.776 and I need to put it in the stupid writers leads even though I don't actually want to do it. 00:00:42.942 --> 00:00:46.546 Alex: The first step of an idea is we chuck it into our Trello board, 00:00:46.579 --> 00:00:52.919 so for instance here we have AIO in a TV, and there are two things that you need to bring to this meeting. 00:00:52.919 --> 00:00:58.925 We have to have a title idea, and a basic idea of what the video flow will be. 00:00:58.925 --> 00:01:04.330 At this point in the writers meeting we will discuss the quality of the idea. 00:01:04.330 --> 00:01:07.801 There are definitely some videos that just come straight to writers meeting 00:01:07.801 --> 00:01:10.870 as a fully fleshed out yeah, let's do it! 00:01:10.870 --> 00:01:14.207 But there's lots of stuff that's also more like a nugget of an idea. 00:01:14.207 --> 00:01:20.246 Like maybe you're like this would be cool, but is that 12 minutes of everyone's time? 00:01:20.246 --> 00:01:24.517 Like do millions of people want to see that for 12 minutes? Maybe not; 00:01:24.517 --> 00:01:32.392 maybe it's only like five minutes of a video, but you can flesh out a much larger concept when you have everyone in the meeting at the same time; 00:01:32.392 --> 00:01:35.995 from there it gets approved and goes into pre-production. 00:01:35.995 --> 00:01:41.367 Alex: Also, we have a whole business team and sometimes they are also responsible for getting us leads. 00:01:41.468 --> 00:01:45.338 Shahrad: Hi, I'm Shahrad; I'm the senior account lead at LMG. 00:01:45.438 --> 00:01:51.811 My job basically is to be the line of communication between the brand that wants to sponsor the content. 00:01:51.811 --> 00:01:57.217 I try to find a sweet spot and the balance between having a good integration for the product 00:01:57.217 --> 00:02:00.920 and having good content, because at the end of the day, even if it's sponsored, 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.591 content is king, because if it's shi***y content, it's a lose-lose. 00:02:04.591 --> 00:02:08.628 And the biggest part of this process is talking terms with the brand, 00:02:08.628 --> 00:02:15.802 and try to come to an understanding of what we can and can't do during a video; 00:02:15.935 --> 00:02:21.207 such as talking points, what they need covered with the products, live service, 00:02:21.207 --> 00:02:30.083 what the deliverable is gonna look; all the boring small stuff that goes into a contract, while keeping LMGs interests in mind and protected. 00:02:30.083 --> 00:02:35.188 Try to come to an understanding with the brand as well, and compromise, and get together; 00:02:35.555 --> 00:02:40.960 and make beautiful sponsored content. Alex: Once the idea is approved we do what we call a scrum. 00:02:40.994 --> 00:02:46.499 This is a really quick meeting between the writer, so myself, probably Linus and Labs, 00:02:46.499 --> 00:02:54.807 or anyone else that is going to be involved with the project. This is a really short meeting where we just simply go over, what's going to be in this video? 00:02:54.807 --> 00:03:00.480 What is the scope? What can we chop off? What absolutely needs to stay in there? 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:04.083 And we just want to make sure that everyone's on the same page; 00:03:04.083 --> 00:03:08.922 there have definitely been some situations where a video has been largely written, 00:03:08.922 --> 00:03:11.925 only to find out that wires were crossed, 00:03:11.925 --> 00:03:16.095 and different teams thought that this video was going to be a different thing. 00:03:16.095 --> 00:03:19.866 Having just a five-minute meeting can completely avoid that, 00:03:19.866 --> 00:03:24.103 and can be really good for just being like, what what are we actually doing again? 00:03:24.938 --> 00:03:31.077 It's a very important step surprisingly. Now in this scrum meeting there are a couple things that we have to decide on. 00:03:31.077 --> 00:03:36.282 We need a good title and thumbnail; if you do not have a good title and thumbnail for a YouTube video, 00:03:36.282 --> 00:03:42.021 you do not have a YouTube video. A little bit unfortunate, but you can make the best video ever; 00:03:42.021 --> 00:03:45.325 but if you have a bad title and thumbnail no one's going to watch it, 00:03:45.325 --> 00:03:50.129 and all of your work is going to be for nothing. The next bit that we need to look into is the intro. 00:03:50.129 --> 00:03:54.901 We need to make sure that the title and thumbnail, and the intro are all cohesive 00:03:54.934 --> 00:03:59.072 and we can just hook people in, have them immediately want to watch the video; 00:03:59.072 --> 00:04:02.141 because again, even if you have the best video ever; 00:04:02.242 --> 00:04:06.346 if it does not hook people and they just leave, the YouTube algorithms gonna be like 00:04:06.346 --> 00:04:12.018 I don't want to serve people that, and then whatever beautiful stuff you have in the middle of the video 00:04:12.051 --> 00:04:17.423 does not matter, because no one has made it there. The next thing we go over is just clearly laid out beats, 00:04:17.423 --> 00:04:22.895 we come up with a basic idea of the flow of the video; and this can be really helpful for two reasons. 00:04:22.895 --> 00:04:27.967 For one it just helps you know what the flow is, but it also makes it really easy to go in 00:04:28.001 --> 00:04:32.639 and start bits that you don't necessarily need everything for; 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.376 so maybe I'm waiting on Labs testing for a video, 00:04:36.376 --> 00:04:41.781 I don't want to just sit around, so maybe I can start in the middle of the video and be like 00:04:41.781 --> 00:04:45.618 I can write these couple paragraphs about the architecture of a processor. 00:04:45.752 --> 00:04:52.091 I can talk about maybe like what are the implications of new AMD CPUs being really expensive? 00:04:52.558 --> 00:04:56.562 Before I have all of the performance testing that I might be putting at the start of the video. 00:04:56.596 --> 00:05:00.400 Breaking it down into different sections can make it nice so that you know the flow, Finally, we want to try and decide on a good conclusion to the video. 00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:03.970 You don't want people to watch it and just at the end be like "what?" 00:05:03.970 --> 00:05:07.440 You want to make sure that what you have set up in the intro of the video, 00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:11.244 and the body of the video is satisfyingly concluded at the end 00:05:11.244 --> 00:05:15.248 instead of it just being like a thing that happened. 00:05:15.248 --> 00:05:18.885 Up next we just introduced writer pod check-ins. 00:05:18.885 --> 00:05:22.088 Basically four or five of us will get in a little group for 00:05:22.088 --> 00:05:26.459 two, three minutes at the start of the day and be like hey, what's everyone working on? 00:05:26.592 --> 00:05:32.098 Does anyone have something that's super time sensitive that needs extra people to go on work on it? 00:05:32.131 --> 00:05:35.234 Having just a quick meeting at the start of the day allows us to be like 00:05:35.301 --> 00:05:39.339 hey I have a bunch of time here today, does anyone need some help? 00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:43.609 And it allows us to sort of distribute our resources as are needed; for instance, 00:05:43.609 --> 00:05:48.748 last week Adam had a project where he was selecting people for cable managing their setup; 00:05:48.748 --> 00:05:52.618 but sifting through all of them would take absolutely forever. 00:05:52.618 --> 00:05:56.789 I had a little bit of time, because I was just waiting on Labs and stuff like that; 00:05:56.789 --> 00:06:01.227 so I was able to hop in and be like, yeah I can do a morning of just going through people setups; 00:06:01.227 --> 00:06:04.997 and that makes the whole process better for everyone, because Adam didn't have a lot of time 00:06:04.997 --> 00:06:09.402 and I just happened to be at that point. From there we just simply go and write the script, 00:06:09.402 --> 00:06:13.339 sometimes this involves making an entire huge project, which will take 00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:17.443 months and months of procuring items, getting them in, testing them; 00:06:17.443 --> 00:06:21.681 sometimes it's just googling for a day. At the end we end up at script review. 00:06:21.681 --> 00:06:25.618 This is where myself, Linus, anyone else involved like 00:06:25.651 --> 00:06:29.756 Labs and a couple other people will come in and have a look at the script 00:06:29.789 --> 00:06:33.326 and make sure that first of all, everything that we said in the scrum is there, 00:06:33.493 --> 00:06:38.364 and also that it's just a good flowing video; this is also a time for Linus to come in 00:06:38.464 --> 00:06:41.701 and put kind of his voice into it. 00:06:41.834 --> 00:06:46.539 Maybe not necessarily like he wants to change the tone of the video, but more so just 00:06:46.672 --> 00:06:50.009 he wants the sentences to work like how he speaks. 00:06:50.109 --> 00:06:56.883 The time for a script review can vary wildly, like for instance I did a vlog with these Qualcomm laptops the other day; 00:06:56.883 --> 00:07:01.621 it was pretty much just me and Linus sitting down and being like, yep, that's what we're gonna do. 00:07:01.621 --> 00:07:06.292 Cool, let's do it. Sometimes instead it will take hours. 00:07:06.492 --> 00:07:12.832 Like if you go in there with a four thousand word doc and needs a bunch of little fine details 00:07:12.832 --> 00:07:16.836 and tuning, and stuff like that; it might be quite a long time. 00:07:16.836 --> 00:07:20.173 It's also the sort of thing where if you have more experience as a writer, 00:07:20.173 --> 00:07:25.678 chances are it's gonna take way less time. Once we're done with script review it is the end of pre-production, 00:07:25.711 --> 00:07:28.915 and we are going into production; which Nicole will tell you about. 00:07:29.282 --> 00:07:32.485 Nicole: Hi, my name is Nicole and I am the post-production supervisor. 00:07:32.819 --> 00:07:37.990 Once a video script reviewed, James then sets up the shooting schedule week by week, 00:07:37.990 --> 00:07:41.961 and then we'll have a meeting to discuss it along with the business team; 00:07:41.961 --> 00:07:45.798 just to figure out if everything's going to make sense from a release standpoint. 00:07:45.798 --> 00:07:52.638 Typically these meetings take about half an hour once a week, and then we'll just kind of quickly run through everything that's happening that week, 00:07:52.638 --> 00:07:57.443 and everything that's coming up in terms of questions we need answered from different departments; 00:07:57.443 --> 00:08:02.081 and whether everything is on track or we need to reevaluate and reposition things. 00:08:02.081 --> 00:08:07.854 It's like a never-ending game of Sudoku. Once all of those details are sorted out, then it gets passed to Colin and James 00:08:07.854 --> 00:08:12.458 and they take care of the rest of the pre-production. Colin: Hi I'm Colin, a production assistant. 00:08:12.458 --> 00:08:16.062 After James, Steve and Nicole determine the priority of videos that we're shooting, 00:08:16.062 --> 00:08:23.736 we lead into the daily production meeting. So usually that's me, James, Bell, Vance, and Andy or Andrew; 00:08:23.736 --> 00:08:29.542 basically we just determine the schedule for the day, and how we can prioritize Linus's time the best. 00:08:29.575 --> 00:08:34.847 So on the day of the shoot, or the day before the shoot we do a preshoot meeting; 00:08:34.847 --> 00:08:39.018 basically, that's me, the writer, and the shooter of the video 00:08:39.018 --> 00:08:43.623 we go through basically everything, so there's no questions left at the end; 00:08:43.623 --> 00:08:46.893 so that's determining the set, determining how many cameras, where we're shooting, 00:08:46.893 --> 00:08:50.463 what sort of the scope is of the video, what style of video. 00:08:50.463 --> 00:08:56.369 There's one word that I try to haunt people with, its surprises, and will we have surprises on the shoot? 00:08:56.369 --> 00:09:01.073 I don't like them. So basically we just do that so everybody's on the same page, 00:09:01.073 --> 00:09:06.212 and then we can kind of make sure that the shoot goes as smooth as possible. 00:09:06.512 --> 00:09:11.684 So the meetings take about, ten to twenty minutes depending on the video; 00:09:11.751 --> 00:09:15.655 something like a seated A roll video will take ten minutes maximum, 00:09:15.655 --> 00:09:19.959 just because there's not much movement involved, it's more or less just talking about 00:09:19.959 --> 00:09:24.630 the actual set, the look that they're going for; something like a vlog 00:09:24.964 --> 00:09:29.035 it depends if it's a scripted vlog, or what we call a Yolo vlog, 00:09:29.035 --> 00:09:33.639 where there's no script, and it's basically just come to set we're gonna do this thing. 00:09:33.873 --> 00:09:40.346 I mean, I don't know any other way to say it. So those can take a little bit longer because we might want to walk through the sets, 00:09:40.346 --> 00:09:48.120 and then also for intros, if it's sometimes the video will just start on Linus sort of standing there; 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.791 but sometimes we try to do skits and stuff and those can take a little bit longer. 00:09:51.791 --> 00:09:55.928 So after pre shoot meeting, that's when we begin to build the set. 00:09:56.228 --> 00:10:00.399 Usually it's just me and the shooter, determining the lighting, camera positioning, everything we need; 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.669 and then at that point I'm bringing props and all the items to sets. 00:10:03.669 --> 00:10:07.573 The writer will usually come on set sort of as we're done, 00:10:07.573 --> 00:10:11.344 and then so we try to get it to at least 90%, 00:10:11.444 --> 00:10:15.915 and then the writer will kind of come in and just do like, all like the fine details of it. 00:10:15.915 --> 00:10:21.287 I guess a part of building the set as well, is after we do pre-shoot we are determining props; 00:10:21.287 --> 00:10:26.759 so sometimes we do have to go make prop runs, which are actually kind of fun sometimes, because you get to go to like a thrift store 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.730 and just kind of look around, and then sometimes things are a bit more open 00:10:30.863 --> 00:10:33.933 so we can kind of design the look of anything. 00:10:33.933 --> 00:10:38.704 So that's the pre-production side of things, and now I'll hand it over to Andrew and he can tell you about the production side. 00:10:38.904 --> 00:10:42.174 Andrew: I'm Andrew, I'm one the camera operators here. 00:10:42.174 --> 00:10:48.147 Now, depending on what set the writer wants to use, we've got different amounts of setup that are required. 00:10:48.214 --> 00:10:53.119 So if we for example use the build corner set, there's not that much setup really required, 00:10:53.119 --> 00:10:57.857 because the lighting is all, it's already there. We just move the key light in and out, you know 00:10:57.857 --> 00:11:02.895 it's generally kind of more, set dressing kind of is what you kind of need to do. 00:11:02.895 --> 00:11:06.532 Whereas if you go to somewhere like the bedroom set, you need to do a lot of setup. 00:11:06.532 --> 00:11:12.972 You can be pretty creative in there with what you want to do, and it's a dark space too, so you kind of have to do quite a lot in there. 00:11:12.972 --> 00:11:19.378 Alright and then we get into shooting the video; if it's a standing seated, slash seated A-roll, so this is terms that we use internally 00:11:19.378 --> 00:11:23.416 they're not like technically correct for people who are NVIDIA production and stuff like that, 00:11:23.416 --> 00:11:28.320 but they they do the job for us. They're normally quick shoots, they're normally on a tripod; 00:11:28.854 --> 00:11:33.159 so a lot of work goes into the prep to make it look a certain way, 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.662 and then it's kind of you roll camera, you monitor your audio; 00:11:36.662 --> 00:11:42.601 because people move different amounts, so you'd really have to monitor it and you know, 00:11:42.601 --> 00:11:45.671 like we're all guilty of every now and then, 00:11:45.671 --> 00:11:49.875 thinking it sounds fine to us, but then later on we get a call from Nicole saying 00:11:49.875 --> 00:11:53.779 "oh there was it was a real scratchy shoot we hear". And you're like oh f***. 00:11:53.846 --> 00:11:58.818 it didn't sound scratchy in my headphones, but like it- Sometimes you just need to be super careful. 00:11:58.818 --> 00:12:03.289 Those shoots generally take half an hour, of Linus time this is; 00:12:03.389 --> 00:12:08.994 so there's a lot of setup involved but- Of him being on set, getting the prompter going 00:12:08.994 --> 00:12:13.432 for anywhere from half an hour, to an hour. For a vlog, sky's the limit really. 00:12:13.466 --> 00:12:16.736 Sammy: Hahahaha. Andrew: It depends on the writer, it depends on the project, 00:12:16.736 --> 00:12:19.705 depends on the scope, depends on how scripted it is. 00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:23.576 we could have the EasyRig on, get all our gear on, the EasyRig on; 00:12:23.576 --> 00:12:26.979 I've had it on all day, like into OT kind of thing; 00:12:26.979 --> 00:12:30.049 like you've just you just keep going for as long as you need to go; 00:12:30.049 --> 00:12:35.821 If that's the kind of shoot it is, generally speaking you're doing something kind of fun and engaging so it's not that big a deal. 00:12:35.821 --> 00:12:41.127 When we finish the shoot, it's all wrapped up and we're all patting each other on the back, and all that good stuff you know, good job- 00:12:41.127 --> 00:12:47.466 Cam op's job is then to go to the ingest station. There's a folder made for the project, and you simply ingest the fold- 00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:51.737 Into the right folder. Somebody will hit shoot complete, or shoot done on Trello. 00:12:51.771 --> 00:12:57.543 Nicole gets notified and then she assigns an editor. Nicole: Now let's talk about the post-production side of things, 00:12:57.543 --> 00:13:01.747 once footage is ingested, it ends up in a B and L roll Queue, 00:13:01.747 --> 00:13:08.287 L roll in our case stands for Linus roll, so that's things that Linus might want to see visually; 00:13:08.287 --> 00:13:12.024 some additional graphics that might be created by the editors. 00:13:12.024 --> 00:13:16.762 For videos that are more of a vlog style, they won't immediately have writers adding 00:13:16.762 --> 00:13:20.099 guidance to the script; because it's a lot less structured. 00:13:20.099 --> 00:13:24.937 In those cases, first assign an editor to the video just to kind of cut down on the fat 00:13:24.937 --> 00:13:30.976 and to create a structure, for writers are able to look over the entire thing and add guidance to it. 00:13:31.043 --> 00:13:38.584 Depending on the style of the video, I'll assign it based on individual editor strengths, or styles that they're familiar with, or prefer to edit. 00:13:38.584 --> 00:13:42.021 Oliver: Hello my name is Oliver, I am a Editor / Camera Operator. 00:13:42.021 --> 00:13:46.959 So once Nicole has assigned a video to the editor, that is normally through teams; 00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:55.534 We have a teams comms chat, we are tagged and we have a Trello card that is assigned to us. 00:13:55.534 --> 00:14:00.272 Now depending on what kind of video it is, so whether it's a scripted A-roll; 00:14:00.272 --> 00:14:07.513 those generally are very quick and easy, and don't require something called the mid edit review. 00:14:07.513 --> 00:14:11.617 Mid edit are normally used on Vloggy type videos, 00:14:11.617 --> 00:14:14.653 in those cases there's not much scripting you can do; 00:14:14.653 --> 00:14:17.923 except for perhaps the intro and some of the beats in the video. 00:14:17.923 --> 00:14:23.028 Normally takes about, maybe like eight hours. So one workday to cut through like a vloggy type of video; 00:14:23.028 --> 00:14:27.399 but if we're talking about like scripted A-roll, it normally takes about like maybe two to three hours. 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.503 Linus kind of just like goes right through the script and it just like punches out the video; 00:14:31.503 --> 00:14:36.642 so those are a lot easier to cut through. Once mid edit review is done and we've received the guidances 00:14:36.675 --> 00:14:39.845 the next step is just implementing those guidances; 00:14:39.845 --> 00:14:42.848 probably take like another day or two? 00:14:42.982 --> 00:14:48.220 So we got to add music and we also have to do like an audio balance, make sure all the audio levels are checked, and Just you know 00:14:48.254 --> 00:14:54.193 get all those editing technical things out of the way. Normally for the scripted videos we normally just don't do mid edit; 00:14:54.260 --> 00:15:01.333 so we would just implement all of the guidances, and comments from the script 00:15:01.367 --> 00:15:08.407 and go straight into writer review. We would have the writer next to us, kind of just watching through the video 00:15:08.540 --> 00:15:14.346 and making sure that we've implemented all of the guidances or fixes from mid edit review. 00:15:14.380 --> 00:15:19.652 So if there's anything in writer review that needed to be fixed, we would implement those fixes, and then the writer would 00:15:19.652 --> 00:15:24.390 check to make sure that all those fixes are good; then we would send it off to LMG review. 00:15:24.390 --> 00:15:30.896 LMG review is basically a Linus watching over the video, and normally that would take by the next day; he would have already reviewed it, 00:15:30.896 --> 00:15:34.400 or it could take up to a week. It really depends on Linus's schedule. 00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:39.738 I would say generally it takes maybe like two to three days on average before he finally gets the video and reviews it. 00:15:39.738 --> 00:15:44.310 So once LMG review is completed, depending on the video we would send it off to brand. 00:15:44.677 --> 00:15:48.747 Now sometimes if Linus is too busy, and he cannot get to LMG review 00:15:48.747 --> 00:15:51.784 but the video needs to be sent off to brand; 00:15:51.784 --> 00:16:00.259 so what we would end up doing is a sensitivity pass, and basically that's just to check if there's anything that we cannot show to brand. 00:16:00.259 --> 00:16:04.563 So for example phone numbers, or any like account information, or private emails. 00:16:04.563 --> 00:16:07.766 So we have like Edzel, Steven, or Colton. [to do a sensitivity pass] 00:16:07.766 --> 00:16:12.972 Once LMG review is completed we would then send our video off to ECC. 00:16:13.072 --> 00:16:21.180 ECC squad is basically our facts checker; they would double check if there's anything in the video that is just factually not correct; 00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:26.819 and we have a 24-hour Window for them to go check, 00:16:26.819 --> 00:16:31.423 and once 24 hours has passed we would then check if they've left any comments. 00:16:31.423 --> 00:16:35.928 And the writer would check over these comments to either 00:16:35.928 --> 00:16:38.964 see if it's worth taking any action upon them, 00:16:38.964 --> 00:16:46.538 because sometimes they're more just suggestions rather than fixes; or if there's actually things that we would have to either get a new audio pickup or just 00:16:46.538 --> 00:16:49.641 change some graphics or stuff like that. 00:16:49.641 --> 00:16:52.778 So there are cases where we actually don't upload to ECC, 00:16:52.778 --> 00:16:59.752 in those cases it's more embargo videos, because we are contractually not allowed to show the video. 00:16:59.752 --> 00:17:02.788 So once ECC is finished we would then proceed to QC. 00:17:02.855 --> 00:17:10.696 QC stands for quality check, this is basically when we have another editor check over the video 00:17:10.696 --> 00:17:14.466 and see if there's any technical editing mistakes. 00:17:14.466 --> 00:17:17.202 Once the video is uploaded, I'm back! 00:17:17.603 --> 00:17:25.210 From here It's pretty simple, you just go into the YouTube editor, put in the title, make sure that you have the correct Sponsor spots down in the description, 00:17:25.210 --> 00:17:29.882 put a little actual description in there, have your product links and stuff like that; 00:17:29.882 --> 00:17:36.321 and just give the video a little once over. It is incredibly rare, but we have had situations where 00:17:36.321 --> 00:17:42.761 YouTube has just not uploaded stuff correctly, and maybe at 10 minutes 43 seconds the frame just goes. 00:17:44.596 --> 00:17:51.870 And then you have a really bad time, because uploading a video after it's already been released can be a huge pain in the arse. 00:17:51.870 --> 00:17:55.974 It's also entirely possible that I am not involved in the posting of the video; 00:17:55.974 --> 00:17:59.044 because if it is a fully sponsored video by a brand, 00:17:59.044 --> 00:18:04.516 the business person that is responsible for it is the one that will be merching it and putting it live. 00:18:04.516 --> 00:18:07.886 And we have to make a post to our forum and to Twitter, 00:18:07.886 --> 00:18:13.358 so that people can discuss it without the absolute nonsense that is the YouTube comments, 00:18:13.358 --> 00:18:16.695 or you can just go to Floatplane, those- That has the best comments really. Sammy: Wooo! 00:18:16.695 --> 00:18:22.668 Alex: And once that's all done we just simply go click publish and boom! You have a video. 00:18:22.668 --> 00:18:30.008 Now for the next 15 minutes or so it is typically good to just watch it, and make sure everything is fine. 00:18:30.008 --> 00:18:33.612 Maybe in the first little bit some people immediately start commenting. 00:18:33.612 --> 00:18:40.085 Ah, the something's on fire! And then you have to go, and your day is probably gonna be really bad. 00:18:40.085 --> 00:18:43.222 But most of the time that doesn't happen, and you just watch it 00:18:43.222 --> 00:18:50.028 and there are a bunch of bots that come in, and are like "first" and "Porn, watch it"; 00:18:50.028 --> 00:18:54.600 And then you have to go through and click those, and be like hide user from channel a bunch of times, 00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:57.803 an annoying thing that I actually have to do pretty regularly. 00:18:58.036 --> 00:19:02.808 And speaking of regularly, I hope that you all are regular today. 00:19:02.841 --> 00:19:06.378 Sammy: Hahahahaha! Alex: Uh, hit like, get subscribed and 00:19:06.378 --> 00:19:09.848 don't hit like on that other video, because I don't want to make it. Sammy: Hit like! 00:19:09.882 --> 00:19:12.417 Alex: See you later, have a good day. Sammy: Hit like on it!
