1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,865
STUDENT: All right,
second day down.

2
00:00:02,865 --> 00:00:03,620
Wait, no.

3
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:06,070
Third.

4
00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:11,380
Third day-- so third day.

5
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:14,770
All right, so third
day reflection.

6
00:00:14,770 --> 00:00:17,350
A lot happening.

7
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:19,870
So much to talk about, actually.

8
00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:22,340
So I guess I'll start with
the first thing that pops

9
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:26,920
into mind, which is shooting.

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,990
I just got done finally
finishing my trailer pitch

11
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:36,120
thing, and one thing I guess
you always know, but you don't

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,320
appreciate, is how many
tries at shooting something

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,590
it takes to get something
you're satisfied with,

14
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:47,500
because, oh, my gosh, I don't
still really like what I've

15
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:53,420
come out with, but I spent
a good hour and a half

16
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:55,770
repeating the same thing
over and over again.

17
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:59,640
And I don't know.

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,390
I am OK with what
came of it, because I

19
00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:05,546
know it's still
very, very rough,

20
00:01:05,546 --> 00:01:06,670
and that's the point of it.

21
00:01:06,670 --> 00:01:10,445
So, yeah, that's first.

22
00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:16,700
Other things that I'm coming
to appreciate, which is there's

23
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:20,620
a YouTuber named CGP
Grey who makes videos,

24
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:25,100
and everyone rags on him because
he has a release schedule that

25
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,905
is very, very spacious.

26
00:01:27,905 --> 00:01:31,270
You know, order of, like,
68 weeks between videos,

27
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:35,430
and I've never gotten, you know,
particularly annoyed at this,

28
00:01:35,430 --> 00:01:38,650
but a lot of people seem to.

29
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:41,550
I can understand how you could
just spend so long pouring over

30
00:01:41,550 --> 00:01:44,827
every little detail
because-- I mean,

31
00:01:44,827 --> 00:01:47,410
not even just that, but just the
paralysis you get when you're

32
00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:48,618
trying to think about things.

33
00:01:48,618 --> 00:01:50,630
So I'm appreciating that.

34
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:52,130
And, yeah.

35
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:54,940
So that's my thoughts
more considering

36
00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:58,950
what I'm doing on that level.

37
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:01,340
And I've got some
other concerns,

38
00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:04,755
I guess, that have come up,
how I feel about my video

39
00:02:04,755 --> 00:02:07,890
as a whole.

40
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:10,440
I guess in lecture there's
been a lot mentioned

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,360
in talking about
why, as MIT students,

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,110
we kind of have this
different perspective

43
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:18,410
and access to these
different things that

44
00:02:18,410 --> 00:02:22,000
give us this unique ability
to make cool science videos.

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,212
And I watched the other
Science Out Loud videos,

46
00:02:26,212 --> 00:02:27,670
and, you know,
they're really cool.

47
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:32,090
You know, the computer one,
the access so they have to,

48
00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:36,590
you know, [INAUDIBLE] has
this random thing inside of it

49
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:37,370
that's a computer.

50
00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:41,430
And, you know,
the Boeing turbine

51
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:45,230
that the students are
explaining how jet engines work,

52
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:46,730
they could just
have access to that.

53
00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:49,330
And, you know, the plant
labs and all of that stuff.

54
00:02:49,330 --> 00:02:54,440
But, honestly, if I think
about the science videos

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,970
and education videos
on YouTube I like,

56
00:02:56,970 --> 00:03:00,960
they tend to be more like
the style of Hank Green

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,240
or, you know, Vsauce
or-- just other people.

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,160
People who are
definitely educated

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,510
and have this background,
but they're more, like,

60
00:03:10,510 --> 00:03:11,600
tackling the subject.

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,020
They don't necessarily
have, like,

62
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:17,410
this great degree of
expertise in themselves,

63
00:03:17,410 --> 00:03:20,720
but they're going to research
it and learn about it

64
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,030
and then they're going to
kind of relate it to you.

65
00:03:24,030 --> 00:03:28,620
And that's kind of what I
want to do with this project,

66
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:32,910
I guess, is I want to
learn about something

67
00:03:32,910 --> 00:03:37,080
and then turn around and be
able to make a video about it.

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,810
But I'm not really
sure if that's

69
00:03:39,810 --> 00:03:42,160
what I'm supposed to be doing.

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,240
If I am supposed to take
something cool that I know

71
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,890
and that I've done and then
make a video on that, which

72
00:03:47,890 --> 00:03:50,890
would be the more magma
thing, but in a way,

73
00:03:50,890 --> 00:03:53,790
I think I'm committed to
doing the decomposition

74
00:03:53,790 --> 00:03:57,950
idea for better or worse.

75
00:03:57,950 --> 00:03:59,256
Yeah.

76
00:03:59,256 --> 00:04:00,505
That's my feelings about that.

77
00:04:00,505 --> 00:04:04,400
I thought the workshops were
especially helpful today.

78
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,040
I've kind of had that
simultaneous, like, oof,

79
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,837
that I didn't have to be the
one with my script up there,

80
00:04:10,837 --> 00:04:13,170
but at the same time, I realize
that that would probably

81
00:04:13,170 --> 00:04:15,510
have been very, very helpful
to have gone through that.

82
00:04:15,510 --> 00:04:18,480
So I know.

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,500
And the hosting thing
is def-- you know, more.

84
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,650
It's like the sort of
thing you kind of know,

85
00:04:25,650 --> 00:04:28,630
and there's some good
tips, but it's just

86
00:04:28,630 --> 00:04:31,860
going to be a lot of
practice, I think,

87
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:37,510
and coaching and being
able to throw myself off

88
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:39,760
in order to catch myself
more in a natural state.

89
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,980
Yeah.

90
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:48,616
I don't really have
much else to say.

91
00:04:48,616 --> 00:04:53,730
I'm still enjoying the
class, so thumbs up on that.

92
00:04:53,730 --> 00:05:00,900
And I shall probably now
finish this up, you know,

93
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,730
upload things, and go to sleep.

94
00:05:03,730 --> 00:05:05,310
So, yay.
