WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.520 I'm Maria, I am the thumbnail artist, and I also take pictures for the merch store. 00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:13.600 My favorite part of working at LMG would be working on my tube fashions, which are photography 00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:20.520 and graphic design, and also that my work is seen by millions of people. 00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:27.000 The worst part would be that I don't understand anything about GPUs, CPUs, 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.480 champi-us, no. Yeah. 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:37.000 Is it a tough one, we give you a bunch of words for a thumbnail and you're like... 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:42.400 Yeah, sometimes I'm like, what? Please explain to me what's all of this. 00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:48.400 Yeah, I mean, I have learned a lot because before working here, I didn't have that Photoshop 00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:55.360 skills that I have now, because I was more into graphic design, but like packaging and 00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:06.400 other stuff. But it has been really great to explore different things and like, yeah, learning a lot basically. 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.240 And it's not as bad as people think, like, oh, you are just doing thumbnails every day, 00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:14.480 that should be super boring, but it's not that bad. 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.840 I really enjoy it. 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:25.520 He's like working with a very distracted person sometimes, but also really, really creative. 00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:32.080 He's very energetic, he always wants the best of the best, and that inspires you to do the 00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:42.640 same. He's sometimes, as I said, like really distracted, so when he does like the thumbnail reviews 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.080 with me, he's like, he sometimes says something like, one day he told me like, oh, why do 00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:55.000 you have my eyes blue, like, and I look at the thumbnail and I was like, I didn't turn 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.680 your eyes blue, like, what are you talking about? 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.040 Like he's in his own world and he's very busy. 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.040 So I think he's like thinking about a lot of things, and sometimes he gets distracted 00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:19.800 and, yeah, like brownish, like, yeah, like, I mean, yeah, I'm sometimes I brighten his 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:28.040 eyes for the thumbnails, but not like turn them into blue, of course. 00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:34.920 I will have a better snack bar that the one, like the one in Kivicity has and he's a studio, 00:02:34.920 --> 00:02:45.580 definitely. Yeah, yeah, especially drinks, because we only have Red Bull here, yeah, basically. 00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:55.040 So I arrived to Canada recently, and I was looking for a job online and just appeared 00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:03.760 like, oh, graphic designer, Linus Media Group, and my husband used to watch Linus's videos. 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:09.400 So he told me, like, okay, that should be a great opportunity for you, like, to work 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:19.680 there and see what it's like, and, yeah, that was basically I arrived to Canada one year 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.480 ago. How's it been living in Canada? 00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:28.080 I love it. Special Vancouver is not too cold. 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.780 Well, a lot, because I was a freelancer before. 00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:42.440 So I was kind of my own boss, and I work with a lot of different companies, like small businesses, 00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:48.800 and now it's a totally different environment with where I can just be with other people. 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:54.840 I'm doing just like one single job for one single company, so it's totally different, 00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:01.080 but it's worth the experience, because that helps me learn a lot when, I don't know, in 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:08.880 the future, if I own my own company as well, graphic design studio or whatever, like, yeah, 00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:17.360 and working with along other people and teams also, it's very good and different from what 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:23.400 I have done before where I was alone at my home working. 00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:31.680 Oh, definitely taking pictures of my boss in underwear for LTTsr.com. 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:41.400 Nice. Like, that we as employees use all that high tech, like recent tech that we always review 00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:48.000 in videos and show in videos, and it's not like that necessarily, like, obviously we 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.760 have really cool gear and stuff, but it's not like the last monitor that released yesterday, 00:04:54.760 --> 00:05:02.800 you know, like, I think people think we use a lot of that stuff in the day to day, yeah. 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.400 So on my trial day, I used the Windows, and I took like double the time to make things, 00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:13.120 because I was like so confused. 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:19.560 So Ed told me like, okay, maybe we should get a Mac set up for you so that you can work 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.800 easily. Yeah, that's nice. That's kind of stressful the first day, and you're like, no, I swear, I'm good at this. 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:35.600 Yeah, definitely. One thing that they need to know is that this is a very fast-paced environment. 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:43.000 We release videos every day, so we have to work a lot, non-stop, really, really fast, 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.280 so basically I think that will be what they need to know.
