<v Music>
00:00:25.524 --> 00:00:29.264
<v Doc>Aloha Pro Riders and welcome to edition of the flow. This time you got me,
00:00:29.404 --> 00:00:34.364
<v Doc>Doc Rock along with our producer, Mr. Camera Junkie. Hello, Luis.
00:00:35.904 --> 00:00:36.424
<v Luis>How you doing doc?
00:00:37.124 --> 00:00:43.244
<v Doc>Today, we're going to continue our flow production conversation,
00:00:43.464 --> 00:00:47.624
<v Doc>get into some tips, sort of remind you if you didn't see the last one, um,
00:00:48.104 --> 00:00:51.684
<v Doc>in the previous episode, we talked a little bit about how we produce the flow
00:00:51.684 --> 00:00:57.184
<v Doc>and how we make this video podcast and stuff way easier because still I just
00:00:57.184 --> 00:01:01.804
<v Doc>came back from two conferences and the only thing I ever hear is I don't do
00:01:01.804 --> 00:01:03.204
<v Doc>video because it's harder.
00:01:04.884 --> 00:01:10.584
<v Doc>I don't know why that makes me chuckle because video is easier I really don't
00:01:10.584 --> 00:01:16.524
<v Doc>understand how everybody thinks it's harder video is easier the other one that's
00:01:16.524 --> 00:01:21.604
<v Doc>kind of funny is people often say that video is expensive-er.
00:01:21.884 --> 00:01:23.784
<v Doc>That's not how they say it. They use real English.
00:01:24.564 --> 00:01:29.764
<v Doc>But I'm like, nah, not really. Nowadays, it doesn't have to be because everyone owns a phone.
00:01:30.064 --> 00:01:35.544
<v Doc>Like, unless you're one of those people who are on an iPhone 8, you're kind of good.
00:01:35.944 --> 00:01:40.804
<v Doc>I mean, pretty much everybody has a phone. So if you did nothing but fire up
00:01:40.804 --> 00:01:44.244
<v Doc>Ecamm and put your phone on, you're kind of gangster.
00:01:44.484 --> 00:01:48.164
<v Doc>But if you do go in nowadays, you can get cameras like Paul.
00:01:48.164 --> 00:01:54.004
<v Doc>Paul's rocking a $120 camera that looks good it looks good with his face in
00:01:54.004 --> 00:01:56.024
<v Doc>it don't tell Paul we said that,
00:01:57.324 --> 00:02:02.144
<v Doc>so first of all welcome we're going to talk about this if you have questions
00:02:02.144 --> 00:02:06.464
<v Doc>of course you can throw those joints into the chatty chat and then we can get
00:02:06.464 --> 00:02:13.124
<v Doc>at them and I guess what was your key takeaway from the last conversation what
00:02:13.124 --> 00:02:15.104
<v Doc>kind of popped your socks over there.
00:02:17.332 --> 00:02:20.472
<v Luis>Oh, that was a couple of weeks ago. So a lot has happened since that conversation.
00:02:20.472 --> 00:02:22.272
<v Luis>I fully understand this, but you do this every Tuesday.
00:02:24.072 --> 00:02:29.292
<v Luis>But you're saying what was the thing that reminded me or like stuck out the most two weeks ago?
00:02:29.552 --> 00:02:29.692
<v Doc>Yeah.
00:02:31.252 --> 00:02:34.572
<v Luis>Two weeks ago, like that was such a long conversation. I don't remember what
00:02:34.572 --> 00:02:35.892
<v Luis>I had for lunch two days ago.
00:02:36.292 --> 00:02:39.752
<v Luis>But, you know, I'm being honest.
00:02:40.932 --> 00:02:45.332
<v Luis>But it just depends on which aspects because there's always a lot of different things.
00:02:45.332 --> 00:02:50.152
<v Luis>I think we were getting into and we were starting to scratch the surface of
00:02:50.152 --> 00:02:55.552
<v Luis>like the post-production aspect of it, which is what I think like I wanted to
00:02:55.552 --> 00:02:58.092
<v Luis>touch into, which we're going to talk about today.
00:02:58.832 --> 00:03:01.472
<v Doc>Yeah, so we're definitely going to talk about the post-production.
00:03:01.752 --> 00:03:05.052
<v Doc>I think so, again, I just came from this conference and, you know,
00:03:05.112 --> 00:03:07.732
<v Doc>a lot of people were having questions about remote production.
00:03:07.732 --> 00:03:15.072
<v Doc>And again, everybody assumes it's hard. And it kind of seems the one thing that
00:03:15.072 --> 00:03:21.132
<v Doc>people are kind of stuck on is understanding the idea of you calling a producer
00:03:21.132 --> 00:03:24.572
<v Doc>and the producer press pressing all the buttons for you.
00:03:24.772 --> 00:03:28.592
<v Doc>And I'll say as a person who runs their own show.
00:03:29.392 --> 00:03:33.112
<v Doc>And the person that gets to do this show where you're kind of pressing the buttons.
00:03:34.392 --> 00:03:39.552
<v Doc>I can't say that one is easier than the other, but I do feel no pun intended people.
00:03:39.692 --> 00:03:44.352
<v Doc>The flow of the one where I don't have to press any buttons is easier.
00:03:44.492 --> 00:03:49.032
<v Doc>And that's coming from somebody who is fully capable of pressing all the buttons
00:03:49.032 --> 00:03:56.252
<v Doc>for the people who feel like they struggle with the concept of doing the two things at one time.
00:03:58.072 --> 00:04:02.192
<v Doc>I think the remote producer is an absolute, you should do it.
00:04:03.932 --> 00:04:06.512
<v Doc>I guess the funny part of that. You know what? Go.
00:04:07.892 --> 00:04:12.852
<v Luis>Well what i would you just sparked part of the conversation that i just got reminded of
00:04:12.852 --> 00:04:14.512
<v Doc>The host job release do you know how this works.
00:04:14.512 --> 00:04:21.512
<v Luis>Yeah exactly so let me let me add them to it right let's add to it but that
00:04:21.512 --> 00:04:25.812
<v Luis>you had actually mentioned that there were so many people who've actually have
00:04:25.812 --> 00:04:33.812
<v Luis>done productions do podcasts or video interviews and have never been in a guest themselves,
00:04:34.392 --> 00:04:39.752
<v Luis>which is like mind boggling to me, because that's one of the big takeaways.
00:04:40.012 --> 00:04:43.492
<v Luis>Like you just mentioned, I do all the button pushing.
00:04:44.032 --> 00:04:51.452
<v Luis>I've also been as a guest on other shows and it's far easier to be a guest, you know,
00:04:51.532 --> 00:04:56.512
<v Luis>like even though we like the button pressing and we enjoy the production side
00:04:56.512 --> 00:04:59.052
<v Luis>and we know how to do it for ourselves.
00:04:59.052 --> 00:05:03.912
<v Luis>When we have somebody else doing it for you is like going out to eat,
00:05:04.012 --> 00:05:06.292
<v Luis>you know, instead of cooking your own meal.
00:05:06.532 --> 00:05:10.212
<v Luis>It's just, you know, you're going to get a completely different experience and
00:05:10.212 --> 00:05:14.132
<v Luis>you're going to get to enjoy all of the benefits of the meal without having
00:05:14.132 --> 00:05:16.452
<v Luis>to worry about, you know, prep or cleanup.
00:05:17.269 --> 00:05:20.769
<v Doc>Yeah, that's true. It is exactly kind of like going to a restaurant.
00:05:20.969 --> 00:05:23.869
<v Doc>I definitely feel sometimes you go to the restaurant, it's like,
00:05:23.929 --> 00:05:24.849
<v Doc>man, I could have cooked that.
00:05:25.449 --> 00:05:29.289
<v Doc>But you know, you also don't have to clean that. Except for really,
00:05:29.389 --> 00:05:30.629
<v Doc>really high Italian restaurants.
00:05:31.029 --> 00:05:33.669
<v Doc>I feel like that about most of your basic Italian restaurants.
00:05:33.849 --> 00:05:35.169
<v Doc>Like I can outcook Olive Garden.
00:05:35.689 --> 00:05:38.209
<v Doc>But actually, I haven't been to Olive Garden in 10 years.
00:05:38.949 --> 00:05:42.729
<v Doc>But when you do go, you're like, yeah, look, I don't got to clean up.
00:05:42.729 --> 00:05:47.429
<v Doc>Like, I'm pretty sure I can outcook CPK, Olive Garden, all of those basic kind of places.
00:05:47.509 --> 00:05:54.229
<v Doc>But, you know, as far as the Mama Canelis, I can't do that. Like, she's going to smoke us.
00:05:55.529 --> 00:05:56.469
<v Doc>So there's that.
00:05:56.789 --> 00:05:58.029
<v Luis>But it's the effort involved.
00:05:58.249 --> 00:06:01.009
<v Doc>Yes. It's the effort, the prep, like all of that little stuff.
00:06:01.089 --> 00:06:04.129
<v Doc>Especially when you go and you get something a little bit more highfalutin than
00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:05.249
<v Doc>you can sort of do at home.
00:06:05.509 --> 00:06:09.549
<v Doc>The problem is I tend to go to pasta places and I get one or two things.
00:06:09.909 --> 00:06:14.449
<v Doc>Creamy pesto, because that's the bomb. Also super easy or number one,
00:06:14.909 --> 00:06:21.209
<v Doc>Cacio Pepe, which is simple, but when it's done in a pro kitchen, it's way better.
00:06:21.609 --> 00:06:25.809
<v Doc>It's emulsifying on a regular stove that doesn't generate the type of heat that
00:06:25.809 --> 00:06:29.269
<v Doc>a pro stove does. Completely different game. Why are we talking about this? Never mind.
00:06:30.389 --> 00:06:34.109
<v Doc>So let's dive deeper into this. Quick reminder, this particular,
00:06:34.289 --> 00:06:35.229
<v Doc>oh my God, I'm hungry now.
00:06:35.429 --> 00:06:38.329
<v Doc>This particular episode is brought to you by Shure. You guys know,
00:06:38.469 --> 00:06:41.989
<v Doc>sure, they're our favorite people, but we'll put a link to that in the description.
00:06:41.989 --> 00:06:44.529
<v Doc>And of course, we'll talk about them at the end. Let's dive in.
00:06:44.909 --> 00:06:54.709
<v Doc>So what has been some of the biggest changes for you as far as remote production
00:06:54.709 --> 00:06:58.409
<v Doc>workflow over, say, like the last six to eight months?
00:07:00.904 --> 00:07:04.764
<v Luis>I would say six to eight months, maybe even a year, I would still have to say
00:07:04.764 --> 00:07:09.504
<v Luis>the biggest change in addition has actually had to be Ecamm version.
00:07:10.644 --> 00:07:16.404
<v Luis>That whole integration and everything to be able to host a variety of different,
00:07:16.404 --> 00:07:22.624
<v Luis>you know, guests a lot easier offloading a lot of the production or like the,
00:07:22.824 --> 00:07:27.164
<v Luis>the, how you say the strain that you would put on your system,
00:07:27.444 --> 00:07:32.364
<v Luis>loading that off to Zoom and having them handle the audio and video to allow
00:07:32.364 --> 00:07:36.084
<v Luis>the production on the Ecamm site to work better, I have to say,
00:07:36.124 --> 00:07:39.464
<v Luis>it's got to be the biggest thing for me within that timeframe.
00:07:40.064 --> 00:07:44.944
<v Doc>Love that. Love that. Now, uh, Gary just mentioned in the chat that to Gary,
00:07:45.224 --> 00:07:48.064
<v Doc>your biggest highlight from the last episode was Stream Deck.
00:07:48.424 --> 00:07:52.884
<v Doc>And since we're going to talk about updates, I want to talk about the new So
00:07:52.884 --> 00:07:58.624
<v Doc>the new Stream Deck software that brings in virtual Stream Decks is bananas.
00:07:59.624 --> 00:08:03.264
<v Doc>Rich hates when I say bananas, but you know what, Rich? Too bad because it's
00:08:03.264 --> 00:08:05.944
<v Doc>bananas. It's really bananas.
00:08:06.364 --> 00:08:10.044
<v Luis>Well, you can tell me a little bit about it because I'm not familiar.
00:08:10.204 --> 00:08:11.424
<v Luis>I haven't updated recently.
00:08:11.664 --> 00:08:14.884
<v Doc>Okay. So you have to go to Stream Deck.
00:08:15.104 --> 00:08:18.544
<v Doc>You have to go to Elgato website, go on Stream Deck, and then download the beta
00:08:18.544 --> 00:08:19.604
<v Doc>version of the software.
00:08:19.604 --> 00:08:22.584
<v Doc>But what they basically did was allow
00:08:22.584 --> 00:08:25.584
<v Doc>you to build stream decks that are on screen
00:08:25.584 --> 00:08:28.464
<v Doc>and cool if you
00:08:28.464 --> 00:08:32.844
<v Doc>happen to sidecar an ipad because you know there is stream deck mobile but it's
00:08:32.844 --> 00:08:37.724
<v Doc>semi-limited but stream deck virtual is crazy and it could be whatever shape
00:08:37.724 --> 00:08:42.764
<v Doc>you want it could be as many buttons as you want it could do everything this
00:08:42.764 --> 00:08:46.024
<v Doc>is not weird and i have to point this out because People get very crazy.
00:08:46.184 --> 00:08:47.844
<v Doc>Well, how come you still need a stream deck?
00:08:48.344 --> 00:08:52.084
<v Doc>Because they sell stream decks, homie. Like this is how business works.
00:08:52.284 --> 00:08:54.184
<v Doc>You never mind. I won't say bad words.
00:08:54.464 --> 00:08:58.244
<v Doc>People are mad because you have to have your stream deck plugged in at least
00:08:58.244 --> 00:09:02.704
<v Doc>once every 30 days in order for it to keep going. It is not a replacement for
00:09:02.704 --> 00:09:04.064
<v Doc>the stream deck because it's free.
00:09:04.684 --> 00:09:06.024
<v Luis>It's an addition to it.
00:09:06.144 --> 00:09:09.604
<v Doc>It's an addition to it. So you do need to plug a stream deck in.
00:09:09.604 --> 00:09:13.724
<v Doc>But if you're a person who's limited on desk space, maybe, or you just want
00:09:13.724 --> 00:09:18.924
<v Doc>to build out something crazy, Paul kind of stream deck, Paul could take one of his monitors, right?
00:09:19.444 --> 00:09:25.264
<v Doc>And like put it right above the Elgato teleprompter or right below it and fill
00:09:25.264 --> 00:09:29.524
<v Doc>that sucker with stream deck buttons and actually shape and group and color code them.
00:09:29.584 --> 00:09:33.884
<v Doc>So like there's a purple one for my show and an orange one for the Ecamm show
00:09:33.884 --> 00:09:40.924
<v Doc>and like a different color one for another show. Like, Paul can go to town and his things. And...
00:09:41.369 --> 00:09:47.789
<v Doc>You do not have to sidecar your iPad, but if you do, that would give you a touch surface.
00:09:48.009 --> 00:09:50.929
<v Doc>I actually own a monitor that's over here just out of sight.
00:09:51.129 --> 00:09:55.469
<v Doc>It's called the JSOX or J-OX actually, but J-S-OX. I don't know why I call it
00:09:55.469 --> 00:09:57.629
<v Doc>JSOX. Maybe it's because I'm a Red Sox fan.
00:09:57.889 --> 00:10:02.689
<v Doc>That is a touchscreen monitor. So for instance, I can put that over there,
00:10:02.849 --> 00:10:05.569
<v Doc>put both of them suckers on there, right?
00:10:05.769 --> 00:10:11.389
<v Doc>Fill it all up with buttons and then do it. Like it's bananas.
00:10:11.669 --> 00:10:15.649
<v Doc>So go to Elgato. I'm trying to find a link. Paul will find a link.
00:10:15.769 --> 00:10:20.509
<v Doc>But basically go to Elgato, get the demo, not the demo, the beta.
00:10:21.029 --> 00:10:24.049
<v Doc>Download it, and you can create some virtual stream deck buttons.
00:10:24.209 --> 00:10:28.449
<v Doc>And since it's been about two weeks since it came out, I'm going to bet that
00:10:28.449 --> 00:10:33.249
<v Doc>somewhere between Neil and Alec, there's already like a tutorial on how to get
00:10:33.249 --> 00:10:35.169
<v Doc>up in there. But it's relatively simple.
00:10:35.329 --> 00:10:37.429
<v Doc>It's relatively simple. And it's really cool.
00:10:37.629 --> 00:10:42.029
<v Doc>And again, because it's on your computer, you can go to town with like cutifying
00:10:42.029 --> 00:10:44.029
<v Doc>your buttons and making them straight gangster.
00:10:44.269 --> 00:10:50.449
<v Doc>The other thing that came out, which works good for us, is the Stream Deck modules finally dropped.
00:10:50.649 --> 00:10:57.229
<v Doc>And Stream Deck modules allow you to like 3D print or wood cut or paper craft
00:10:57.229 --> 00:11:01.569
<v Doc>your own situation when it comes to how you want the layout.
00:11:01.729 --> 00:11:04.469
<v Doc>Because you basically just get the board. All the plastic is missing.
00:11:04.469 --> 00:11:08.169
<v Doc>It comes with a board that has a USB in the bottom.
00:11:08.349 --> 00:11:13.409
<v Doc>And so you could build your own thing. So people are like routing out the thing in the desk.
00:11:13.569 --> 00:11:16.889
<v Doc>Like I got a big, big old, I'm about to say that word. I got a big tree right here.
00:11:17.049 --> 00:11:20.169
<v Doc>Like it's a four inch tree, Koa.
00:11:20.829 --> 00:11:26.009
<v Doc>Not that I'm going to do it because this is an $8,000 top, but I could route a hole in it.
00:11:26.786 --> 00:11:30.086
<v Doc>Put the decks right in there and then tap tap tap tap like if.
00:11:30.086 --> 00:11:30.766
<v Luis>It were ikea
00:11:30.766 --> 00:11:33.686
<v Doc>Yeah if it was ikea that boy get cut
00:11:33.686 --> 00:11:38.986
<v Doc>up we're getting cut up costco 250 that boy getting cut up eight grand for a
00:11:38.986 --> 00:11:42.606
<v Doc>tree exactly no no i didn't pay eight grand for this tree but if i were to sell
00:11:42.606 --> 00:11:46.986
<v Doc>it to somebody that's what i could sell it for i i made it myself so the the
00:11:46.986 --> 00:11:52.006
<v Doc>blink slab was probably about four grand anyway it's.
00:11:52.006 --> 00:11:55.366
<v Luis>Funny because my mind went right there because
00:11:55.366 --> 00:11:58.386
<v Luis>as soon as you started talking about it my mind jumped to
00:11:58.386 --> 00:12:03.086
<v Luis>those external touchscreen monitors that you could just put off to the side
00:12:03.086 --> 00:12:09.246
<v Luis>connect via usbc and you're set like you really are golden and because it works
00:12:09.246 --> 00:12:14.406
<v Luis>with the original stream deck you can switch pages yes on a button on the stream
00:12:14.406 --> 00:12:16.726
<v Luis>deck will give you like unlimited
00:12:16.726 --> 00:12:19.566
<v Doc>Virtual use the stream deck to control the screen
00:12:19.566 --> 00:12:22.646
<v Doc>one or you use the screen when you can vice-versa like
00:12:22.646 --> 00:12:25.666
<v Doc>it's pretty pretty sexy rich did have a question rich says
00:12:25.666 --> 00:12:28.566
<v Doc>how do you sidecar your ipad um either
00:12:28.566 --> 00:12:32.006
<v Doc>throw a cable in it and it comes up or you
00:12:32.006 --> 00:12:37.406
<v Doc>can do it wirelessly like both both directions work it um all you need is i
00:12:37.406 --> 00:12:43.446
<v Doc>think in an ipad that can go like ios i want to say 12 and above it's been a
00:12:43.446 --> 00:12:49.586
<v Doc>minute so i think so yeah if they're in the same network you can just sidecar And if it's not,
00:12:49.686 --> 00:12:53.146
<v Doc>you put a cable in it and then you can set it up as an additional display.
00:12:53.326 --> 00:12:56.246
<v Doc>So yeah, super cool. Cause then you could put everything over there.
00:12:57.506 --> 00:13:01.726
<v Luis>But yeah, the only thing you would just need to check to make sure is that your
00:13:01.726 --> 00:13:06.366
<v Luis>iPad can handle sidecar because not all of them had the capability to do it.
00:13:06.586 --> 00:13:12.686
<v Luis>And if so, if it's connected on the same iCloud account, then they should communicate
00:13:12.686 --> 00:13:17.546
<v Luis>to each other the same way that your phone kind of connects to your system as continuity camera.
00:13:18.126 --> 00:13:21.106
<v Luis>The iPad should connect the same way as a sidecar.
00:13:21.326 --> 00:13:24.526
<v Doc>So Rich is saying that he hasn't been able to get it to work with the iPad.
00:13:24.526 --> 00:13:27.406
<v Doc>I'm going to go get, I'm not going to get my iPad right now because I can't
00:13:27.406 --> 00:13:30.406
<v Doc>leave Luis to talk to y'all for 10 minutes while I walk my fat butt upstairs.
00:13:31.326 --> 00:13:35.046
<v Doc>But I'm going to try it after this. I'll bring it, I'll bring it down and I'll
00:13:35.046 --> 00:13:36.886
<v Doc>try to put it on the extra iPad.
00:13:37.106 --> 00:13:40.426
<v Doc>Cause I mean, it should work, but I mean, at this, at this point in time,
00:13:40.586 --> 00:13:47.446
<v Doc>you can get a touchscreen display from Temu for like 25, 30 bones.
00:13:47.546 --> 00:13:49.066
<v Doc>And like that would work.
00:13:50.660 --> 00:13:54.540
<v Doc>All right, let's go. Anyway, so that's a cool update to me.
00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:00.100
<v Doc>I think one of the other new tools, and I guess this one will go to my buddy
00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Doc>Rich, not really a production tool, but a pre-production tool.
00:14:04.420 --> 00:14:11.660
<v Doc>And that is Magi, which is an AI tool that allows you to use all of the top
00:14:11.660 --> 00:14:16.860
<v Doc>bots or AI, you know, platforms for a single price.
00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:25.460
<v Doc>And it's pretty cool. So you can use Claw, ChatGPT, Llama, DeepSearch,
00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:28.400
<v Doc>DeepSeek, whatever the heck it's called. You can use Gemini,
00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:30.720
<v Doc>all the pro versions basically for $20.
00:14:31.020 --> 00:14:35.660
<v Doc>And I've been playing with it so much that last night when I was finishing up
00:14:35.660 --> 00:14:39.400
<v Doc>my episode, it said you ran out of words. Because I've been playing with the
00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:41.600
<v Doc>image thing too much and it eats up the most words.
00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Doc>I literally just, I worked that sucker to death, bro. It is mad.
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:50.280
<v Doc>It's like, no, you're done. You're done for a couple of weeks.
00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:55.220
<v Doc>But I think my usage is probably way heavier than most Ken folks.
00:14:56.340 --> 00:15:02.900
<v Doc>It says I use ninety nine thousand nine hundred and eighty nine words and you
00:15:02.900 --> 00:15:06.280
<v Doc>get a hundred hundred grand. But I got six days until it resets.
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.020
<v Doc>So I guess luckily for me, I can go back.
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.660
<v Doc>It says that my current word use is actually after that last push is one hundred
00:15:15.660 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Doc>thousand three eighty nine. So I went three eighty nine over.
00:15:19.860 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Doc>So I'm like, this is pretty gangster. This is pretty gangster.
00:15:24.140 --> 00:15:27.580
<v Doc>Now, it's been less than a month for me. So I might have to go to a bigger plan
00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:30.280
<v Doc>because I beat the brakes off this sucker. But it's pretty cool.
00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:36.340
<v Doc>And I will say I have to give my apologies to Rich and them who've been telling me you should do this.
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:40.780
<v Doc>I'm like, whatever, man, you should whatever, man. It's, it's actually dope. It's super dope.
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Luis>Rich is telling you, you can reload more.
00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:49.780
<v Doc>He said I could top up. Um, if I, I, let me see, I can top up for five bones.
00:15:49.900 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Doc>I can add another 10,000 or for 25 bones, I can add another 25,000.
00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:58.380
<v Doc>So yeah, I'll probably do that rather than stop because I'm having way too much fun playing with it.
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.640
<v Doc>All right. So let's think about something. Um, So I'm trying to make sure that
00:16:06.640 --> 00:16:10.460
<v Doc>we cover any questions that came with the last time that we didn't get to.
00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:17.880
<v Doc>But let's dive into sort of the guest prep, because this was one of the things
00:16:17.880 --> 00:16:21.740
<v Doc>that came up when we were at KIT Crafting Commerce last weekend,
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.760
<v Doc>people talking about guest prep.
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:29.840
<v Doc>So you have a really cool situation. So maybe pretend I'm a guest and go through
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Doc>what your thing looks like.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:37.840
<v Doc>Okay so we're going to roll credits and this is louise showing doc how to be
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.800
<v Doc>a guest on the flow and five four three.
00:16:45.088 --> 00:16:46.768
<v Luis>How are you doing, Doc? Welcome to the flow.
00:16:47.188 --> 00:16:49.148
<v Doc>Hi. How's it? Well, how's it? How's it?
00:16:49.528 --> 00:16:53.488
<v Luis>Well, if Doc were to be someone that really doesn't know it,
00:16:53.608 --> 00:16:56.628
<v Luis>the first thing that I would do is to make sure that he's comfortable.
00:16:57.308 --> 00:17:01.808
<v Luis>And then the first thing that I check is to make sure that the audio and visuals
00:17:01.808 --> 00:17:07.968
<v Luis>are good because that's usually the main thing that the guest is worried about on their end.
00:17:08.188 --> 00:17:11.668
<v Luis>Right? So right off the bat, you say, okay, you look and you sound good.
00:17:12.148 --> 00:17:16.348
<v Luis>Right? And if it doesn't, then that's the first thing that we fix right away.
00:17:16.488 --> 00:17:20.648
<v Luis>And as soon as we get that, it usually sets the guests at ease because now,
00:17:20.848 --> 00:17:23.748
<v Luis>Hey, you know what? The rest can be taken care of.
00:17:24.268 --> 00:17:28.928
<v Luis>The next step that I do, and I'm going to hop into live demo mode real quick.
00:17:32.168 --> 00:17:36.648
<v Luis>Make sure we're showing you. Yep. The next thing I do is that I walk them through
00:17:36.648 --> 00:17:42.908
<v Luis>the run of show, which is what I have here off to the left-hand side in my scenes.
00:17:43.428 --> 00:17:46.488
<v Luis>And as you can see, the first thing that we have there is the intro.
00:17:46.888 --> 00:17:54.008
<v Luis>Then we have, it says DNK, which is Doc and Katie usually for 20 seconds on the first screen,
00:17:54.188 --> 00:17:59.108
<v Luis>which has the flow and the names, and then it automatically switches to like
00:17:59.108 --> 00:18:03.148
<v Luis>a less, you know, graphically heavy scene.
00:18:03.568 --> 00:18:09.588
<v Luis>And that's the next step. So if it's usually Doc and Katie, I don't have to explain this to them.
00:18:09.708 --> 00:18:14.768
<v Luis>If there is a guest, we have a three person shot right over here,
00:18:14.888 --> 00:18:20.308
<v Luis>which is usually the way that we set it up and I'm walking them through the entire steps.
00:18:20.768 --> 00:18:25.888
<v Luis>Once I've basically set everything up in the background, I will then go to the
00:18:25.888 --> 00:18:30.488
<v Luis>guests and show them the runner show and tell them, Hey, this is exactly what
00:18:30.488 --> 00:18:32.488
<v Luis>we're planning to do in our show.
00:18:32.628 --> 00:18:34.988
<v Luis>First, we're going to start with our 20 second intro.
00:18:38.348 --> 00:18:43.728
<v Luis>We hop into the Doc and Katie scene where they will introduce you as a guest.
00:18:43.928 --> 00:18:47.828
<v Luis>As soon as they introduce you as a guest, we will then go to the three person
00:18:47.828 --> 00:18:53.828
<v Luis>pop-up, which would be this scene and go, this is where the remainder of the show is going to happen.
00:18:55.368 --> 00:18:59.608
<v Luis>Once we get to our ad reads, that's not the shot that we need.
00:18:59.828 --> 00:19:01.768
<v Luis>Um, once we get to the ad reads.
00:19:03.542 --> 00:19:10.262
<v Luis>Um, we will then talk about the flow, then we talk about shore and we will come
00:19:10.262 --> 00:19:13.442
<v Luis>back to that three person shot right here.
00:19:13.802 --> 00:19:19.582
<v Luis>But in this case is the two person shot to close out the show at this moment
00:19:19.582 --> 00:19:25.382
<v Luis>is when I usually ask the guests if they have a presentation or a screen share
00:19:25.382 --> 00:19:28.422
<v Luis>that they might want to add to the production.
00:19:28.582 --> 00:19:33.322
<v Luis>And if so, we'll set all of those things up the same way. I'll go through the
00:19:33.322 --> 00:19:37.082
<v Luis>scenes and set up the screen share for that guest.
00:19:37.242 --> 00:19:42.962
<v Luis>And then once again, to set them at ease, I asked them, do you have any questions
00:19:42.962 --> 00:19:44.962
<v Luis>on the way that we have the production?
00:19:45.122 --> 00:19:49.962
<v Luis>Or is there anything that you feel like that you would like to know before we go live?
00:19:50.462 --> 00:19:56.182
<v Luis>And that's my sort of walkthrough and run of show that I do depending on exactly
00:19:56.182 --> 00:20:00.602
<v Luis>what guests and what we're presenting that I do before we go live.
00:20:00.602 --> 00:20:03.142
<v Luis>Just to set the client's mind at ease.
00:20:03.522 --> 00:20:07.842
<v Doc>And it's really helpful. I've watched the people go through this and seen their
00:20:07.842 --> 00:20:08.882
<v Doc>face change in the middle.
00:20:09.462 --> 00:20:12.482
<v Doc>Like literally watch them go through.
00:20:13.062 --> 00:20:17.522
<v Doc>So I do want to point something out. John was asking a question about doing
00:20:17.522 --> 00:20:21.282
<v Doc>a podcast with a single remote guest. Can you just use the interview mode? Absolutely.
00:20:21.622 --> 00:20:27.342
<v Doc>The interview mode does work. I will tell you, even as an ECAM person who used
00:20:27.342 --> 00:20:33.322
<v Doc>interview mode for well over 3,000, 4,000 hours, Like I've been in that Tucker six days a week.
00:20:33.442 --> 00:20:37.702
<v Doc>Sometimes Zoom is way easier. Zoom is 15 bones a month.
00:20:38.402 --> 00:20:44.182
<v Doc>I'm hard pressed to be like, why you wouldn't give up them 15 bones a month for Zoom just for this?
00:20:44.382 --> 00:20:48.922
<v Doc>Cause even then you're, you're, you're, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:20:49.422 --> 00:20:55.982
<v Doc>Your production is simpler. Your guests are more comfortable because your guests are,
00:20:56.620 --> 00:21:01.880
<v Doc>everybody, your cat knows how to use Zoom. Your dog, roaches know how to use Zoom.
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.400
<v Doc>But when you interview mode is simple, it's simple. It's so frustrating to me
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.080
<v Doc>because there's no reason why any human in this planet can't open a Chrome browser
00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:14.020
<v Doc>and basically have the same experiences we have in Zoom,
00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:19.260
<v Doc>but there is a mental block and you spend so much time combing through that mental block.
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.320
<v Doc>I have that scene hidden and it's still plenings. Why is that?
00:21:22.520 --> 00:21:25.560
<v Doc>Anyway, that, that thing, like it
00:21:25.560 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Doc>really really does make people lose
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Doc>their cookies and i can't say i understand it but
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.960
<v Doc>i've experienced it people just have a mental block
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Doc>when it comes to using the chrome you know interview dial
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.200
<v Doc>back in you can't use safari then they got questions
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:45.400
<v Doc>well it doesn't work on the p if it works on chrome it works on pc it
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.520
<v Doc>works on linux it works on bnw dashboard
00:21:48.520 --> 00:21:51.620
<v Doc>it works on anything because it's just chrome but you
00:21:51.620 --> 00:21:54.660
<v Doc>can't you can't get that through the muggles muggles be muggling out
00:21:54.660 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Doc>here so i honestly and people would tell you um john because you're new here
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:05.540
<v Doc>i was the most anti-zoom person in the planet i was like nope nope nope nope
00:22:05.540 --> 00:22:11.580
<v Doc>nope nope nope it's way easier in zoom the audio and one thing that zoom does
00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:12.660
<v Doc>better than anything else,
00:22:13.260 --> 00:22:18.660
<v Doc>when your internet goes dumb for your guests or yourself for that matter Zoom
00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:22.060
<v Doc>has the best video compression in the world.
00:22:23.069 --> 00:22:28.909
<v Doc>Everybody else will turn into a bunch of pixels, but Zoom will try to hold it
00:22:28.909 --> 00:22:31.549
<v Doc>down and they hold it down better than anybody.
00:22:31.909 --> 00:22:34.549
<v Doc>So this is not even an advertisement for Zoom.
00:22:35.009 --> 00:22:39.009
<v Doc>I'm just saying, right? When your guests get bad internet, they start to look
00:22:39.009 --> 00:22:43.689
<v Doc>like this and there's nothing you can do about it. And then your audience is tripping.
00:22:43.969 --> 00:22:48.829
<v Doc>But Zoom, that was me. I did that on purpose, Luis. Don't panic. Don't panic, bro.
00:22:49.129 --> 00:22:51.489
<v Luis>Because it was well-timed. It was well-timed.
00:22:51.489 --> 00:22:54.309
<v Doc>The other one is pixely instead of you know like but
00:22:54.309 --> 00:22:58.449
<v Doc>yeah trust me it's it's worth 15 bucks if you gotta rob somebody rob somebody
00:22:58.449 --> 00:23:02.969
<v Doc>get them 15 bucks but like definitely i dude i work here and i would tell you
00:23:02.969 --> 00:23:06.409
<v Doc>that ours is the best but some of the things that happens with that tool are
00:23:06.409 --> 00:23:11.529
<v Doc>out of our hands so yeah zoom is just better i'm sorry and.
00:23:11.529 --> 00:23:18.129
<v Luis>It's it's just become synonymous with like virtual meetings because yeah you
00:23:18.129 --> 00:23:23.389
<v Luis>know going back five years um nobody even uses skype anymore
00:23:23.389 --> 00:23:27.109
<v Doc>And that's the whole skype out of business exactly.
00:23:27.109 --> 00:23:30.909
<v Luis>So that's why i said like it's just become synonymous the way that you would
00:23:30.909 --> 00:23:35.589
<v Luis>say hey search this up you literally say hey google this because google has
00:23:35.589 --> 00:23:41.549
<v Luis>become synonymous with search engines i feel that zoom has just become synonymous with that meeting.
00:23:41.769 --> 00:23:45.289
<v Luis>And it's just easier for people to say like, oh, I'm just going to hop on a
00:23:45.289 --> 00:23:49.589
<v Luis>Zoom meeting instead of telling them, hey, I'm going to bring you in through interview mode.
00:23:49.769 --> 00:23:53.849
<v Luis>And maybe even the word interview mode, right? Interview is probably one of
00:23:53.849 --> 00:23:56.049
<v Luis>the first things that they hear that they're like, oh my God.
00:23:56.329 --> 00:23:59.949
<v Luis>But it's basically the same thing. And it's just another way of connecting.
00:24:01.369 --> 00:24:04.709
<v Doc>John said, I love it. Muggles. Yo, muggles is my word, John.
00:24:04.889 --> 00:24:06.509
<v Doc>Sorry. I use it all the time.
00:24:06.769 --> 00:24:09.949
<v Doc>But yes, it is so much easier. It'll make your guests more comfortable.
00:24:10.209 --> 00:24:13.469
<v Doc>And it's one less thing you have to worry about. And then you just sort of follow
00:24:13.469 --> 00:24:16.409
<v Doc>Louisa's kind of like, you know, go down and show them what you're going to
00:24:16.409 --> 00:24:17.829
<v Doc>do. And then they feel even better.
00:24:17.989 --> 00:24:20.849
<v Doc>So super cool. Let's dive into some tools that we get into.
00:24:21.169 --> 00:24:27.989
<v Doc>So, um, we use a combination of Cal and Lee or Savvy Cal to book interviews.
00:24:28.309 --> 00:24:32.309
<v Doc>Um, I, we were heavily Cal and Lee. We're starting to move over to Savvy Cal.
00:24:32.429 --> 00:24:35.249
<v Doc>They're both very good tools. just Savvy Cow works
00:24:35.249 --> 00:24:38.729
<v Doc>better for teams and well to us anyway and
00:24:38.729 --> 00:24:41.889
<v Doc>that's what we're using for our team calendar so we started to move to that
00:24:41.889 --> 00:24:49.909
<v Doc>on my personal show I use Notion and I go live ahead of time and we show people
00:24:49.909 --> 00:24:55.869
<v Doc>the mess that is Mary Lou and I building and run a show in Notion on this particular
00:24:55.869 --> 00:24:58.709
<v Doc>show Graham we're using Milanote,
00:24:59.330 --> 00:25:04.830
<v Doc>Um, and Milanote is great because it's a little bit more visual and we don't
00:25:04.830 --> 00:25:09.030
<v Doc>have to worry about our associate producer, Paul, who's 95.
00:25:09.890 --> 00:25:14.030
<v Doc>He like, he can see and know what's going on. It's a lot easier than notion.
00:25:14.210 --> 00:25:18.450
<v Doc>No, really what it is, is notion is straight line or linear.
00:25:20.090 --> 00:25:24.530
<v Doc>Whereas Milanote is kind of like a whiteboard. You could put junk wherever you
00:25:24.530 --> 00:25:29.790
<v Doc>want, line things up, move them around. And so we use those tools for sort of
00:25:29.790 --> 00:25:33.750
<v Doc>planning our setup, right?
00:25:33.990 --> 00:25:39.570
<v Doc>And what else do we use? So we have that, that, we use PodPage to,
00:25:39.730 --> 00:25:44.730
<v Doc>that doesn't really count, but you can set up a guest injection form on PodPage,
00:25:44.770 --> 00:25:47.090
<v Doc>which I talked to Katie about.
00:25:47.870 --> 00:25:52.710
<v Doc>Paul said I got hair. Shut up, Paul. I talked to Katie about when we were at
00:25:52.710 --> 00:25:55.070
<v Doc>Kit, because we were dealing with some guest flow there.
00:25:55.670 --> 00:26:00.790
<v Doc>And I was like, you know, we should go ahead and just get a guest forum up on the site on pod page.
00:26:00.810 --> 00:26:04.550
<v Doc>So that way people can just come in and fill out the form, upload their headshot,
00:26:04.790 --> 00:26:07.830
<v Doc>get like a checklist sent to them the whole nine yards.
00:26:08.450 --> 00:26:11.870
<v Doc>So there's some really cool things that you can do for your show.
00:26:13.990 --> 00:26:19.330
<v Doc>And. Do you do anything from the producer side to say warm up to get ready,
00:26:19.370 --> 00:26:23.670
<v Doc>or is it just you like battery you ever ready, not the battery off the shoulder?
00:26:25.690 --> 00:26:26.970
<v Luis>I actually do.
00:26:27.410 --> 00:26:29.910
<v Doc>But if you got the battery off the show, the reference, you're old.
00:26:30.050 --> 00:26:31.750
<v Doc>I just wanted to let you know. Okay, go ahead, Luis. Sorry.
00:26:33.990 --> 00:26:39.070
<v Luis>Well, the asterisk is that, you know, it's, it's something that as a producer,
00:26:39.070 --> 00:26:42.590
<v Luis>once you have a run of show and you produce it,
00:26:42.710 --> 00:26:48.990
<v Luis>maybe let's say 110 times, like we have with the flow, you actually tend to
00:26:48.990 --> 00:26:54.230
<v Luis>have a flow already with the process, which is almost like driving a car.
00:26:54.230 --> 00:26:57.810
<v Luis>You know, like where you could just hop in and you already know what you're doing.
00:26:57.950 --> 00:27:00.210
<v Luis>You know, you just need to get to your destination.
00:27:01.050 --> 00:27:10.250
<v Luis>But at the same time, for me, I wake up or say like I start getting done like early and I wake up to.
00:27:11.709 --> 00:27:14.829
<v Luis>I do comedy. That's just what I do.
00:27:14.949 --> 00:27:21.029
<v Luis>I listen to audio comedy, and I wait for a track to actually,
00:27:21.029 --> 00:27:24.989
<v Luis>like, really get the tears coming out of my eyes.
00:27:25.109 --> 00:27:29.769
<v Luis>And once that happens, I actually shut it down so that I can resonate in that
00:27:29.769 --> 00:27:34.509
<v Luis>high, like, like, high energy, fun vibration.
00:27:34.909 --> 00:27:38.449
<v Luis>Because a lot of times what's happened to me is that I listen to another joke
00:27:38.449 --> 00:27:42.009
<v Luis>that's not as funny afterwards. and it kind of brings you down.
00:27:42.169 --> 00:27:45.829
<v Luis>So I kind of just get the RPMs high and just leave them there.
00:27:46.009 --> 00:27:51.249
<v Luis>And that's what I do on my productions and also my own live streams just to keep it more lively.
00:27:52.189 --> 00:27:56.729
<v Doc>That's super good. That's super good. I like the idea of getting into the flow.
00:27:56.929 --> 00:28:05.229
<v Doc>I normally just drink coffee, but, you know, there's zero to a hundred.
00:28:05.569 --> 00:28:08.609
<v Doc>However you do it is up to you. However you do it is up to you.
00:28:08.749 --> 00:28:12.969
<v Doc>This is super cool. Okay, so wait, Paul is in Melanotion, Melanotion,
00:28:13.229 --> 00:28:16.589
<v Doc>that is the weirdest thing I've ever said, Melanotion.
00:28:16.989 --> 00:28:19.749
<v Doc>Paul is in Melanote moving things around while I'm trying to talk,
00:28:19.889 --> 00:28:20.789
<v Doc>like stop messing with that.
00:28:21.829 --> 00:28:26.669
<v Doc>I looked over and I seen a little mouse go Paul right across the screen.
00:28:27.429 --> 00:28:31.389
<v Doc>Yeah, so that's one of the things that's cool about Melanote and Notion is that
00:28:31.389 --> 00:28:33.229
<v Doc>Mary Lou and I can work in it together.
00:28:33.229 --> 00:28:36.449
<v Doc>And in the middle of note we have myself paul louise
00:28:36.449 --> 00:28:43.029
<v Doc>katie um uh i believe jill or yeah but we're all in here just sort of moving
00:28:43.029 --> 00:28:47.069
<v Doc>things around which is super cool all right let's get into sort of the file
00:28:47.069 --> 00:28:50.169
<v Doc>management part because this is what blows people oh you can leave it there
00:28:50.169 --> 00:28:53.309
<v Doc>go ahead let's talk about this real quick so you see paul is in there well hold.
00:28:53.309 --> 00:28:53.669
<v Luis>On let me
00:28:53.669 --> 00:28:57.669
<v Doc>This is just our running show did you just substitute my whole face for a screen.
00:28:59.329 --> 00:29:04.409
<v Luis>No that's what i was trying to bring up the millenote but apparently that scene
00:29:04.409 --> 00:29:06.129
<v Luis>got messed up so we'll continue
00:29:06.129 --> 00:29:11.149
<v Doc>All right don't worry i have tutorials on millenote if not we could do a whole
00:29:11.149 --> 00:29:17.169
<v Doc>show on how we do it um because it is kind of a deeper conversation but that's
00:29:17.169 --> 00:29:21.549
<v Doc>super funny uh paul got me thinking about secret squirrel now i always used
00:29:21.549 --> 00:29:24.269
<v Doc>to say that oh my god that was one of my favorite thing.
00:29:24.389 --> 00:29:26.789
<v Doc>Stop moving them cursing around, Paul Deming. You're messing with me.
00:29:29.569 --> 00:29:33.129
<v Doc>One of the other things that's really big about this is the file management,
00:29:33.269 --> 00:29:34.889
<v Doc>bro. You're going to generate some files.
00:29:35.269 --> 00:29:38.489
<v Doc>Yesterday, I'm having a conversation with Brandon, right?
00:29:39.029 --> 00:29:47.269
<v Doc>As you know, he's one of our newest sort of Ecamm fam, and he's big into producing things.
00:29:47.409 --> 00:29:50.249
<v Doc>And so I was just showing him some things in zoom like
00:29:50.249 --> 00:29:54.549
<v Doc>how he can level his show up and which is crazy because his show is top level
00:29:54.549 --> 00:30:00.489
<v Doc>like it's kind of top level but brandon is like me it's each one teach one the
00:30:00.489 --> 00:30:05.469
<v Doc>next one got to be doper than the last and we were on the phone for on the zoom
00:30:05.469 --> 00:30:09.549
<v Doc>for about an hour and let's say 15 minutes.
00:30:10.773 --> 00:30:16.693
<v Doc>And I opened the Zoom file after, yo, that sucker was 40-something gigs because
00:30:16.693 --> 00:30:21.533
<v Doc>I was showing him how to do, you know, Zoom speaker switching and much cameras
00:30:21.533 --> 00:30:25.613
<v Doc>can come through, things of that nature. So it can get a little crazy.
00:30:25.813 --> 00:30:30.673
<v Doc>I'm going to give you two crazy suggestions if you have a smaller system but
00:30:30.673 --> 00:30:32.313
<v Doc>you want to keep these files on deck.
00:30:32.713 --> 00:30:39.633
<v Doc>After you finish your edit, I drag all of the OGs and the output that went to
00:30:39.633 --> 00:30:43.573
<v Doc>zoom into something called a shutter encoder.
00:30:44.273 --> 00:30:49.313
<v Doc>And I just say shutter encoder shrink these suckers, make them small because
00:30:49.313 --> 00:30:56.773
<v Doc>it will compress the files and maintain the majority of their original quality.
00:30:56.973 --> 00:31:02.273
<v Doc>But when I compressed that file that started out at 24 gigs for one particular
00:31:02.273 --> 00:31:05.153
<v Doc>file in general, when I was done with it, it was two.
00:31:05.913 --> 00:31:10.193
<v Doc>And I looked at them side by side and they're pretty good. So that's good enough
00:31:10.193 --> 00:31:13.273
<v Doc>for doing clips, good enough for doing social, things of that nature.
00:31:14.673 --> 00:31:18.693
<v Doc>So that's what I do when I get something like that, that kind of gets out of hand.
00:31:19.433 --> 00:31:25.893
<v Doc>You can easily make it smaller. If you're a set app user and you have permute,
00:31:26.213 --> 00:31:33.133
<v Doc>you can do almost as well just with compressing it to like an Apple TV format.
00:31:33.213 --> 00:31:37.613
<v Doc>I know what I'll do. I'll probably make a tutorial on how to do it in Setapp
00:31:37.613 --> 00:31:42.153
<v Doc>and throw it up on my channel because Shutter Encoder is a little bit more involved
00:31:42.153 --> 00:31:46.213
<v Doc>and you can get smaller, smaller, smaller, but Setapp can handle this bacon.
00:31:46.553 --> 00:31:50.633
<v Doc>Like, I mean, the Permute that comes with Setapp can handle it pretty good.
00:31:50.633 --> 00:31:52.533
<v Doc>It's just not as good as Shutter Encoder.
00:31:52.673 --> 00:31:56.793
<v Doc>But I'll show you how to do that because if you want to keep your files,
00:31:56.973 --> 00:31:59.973
<v Doc>but you just can't be filling up all these hard drives,
00:31:59.973 --> 00:32:02.673
<v Doc>just just set up a little script that on
00:32:02.673 --> 00:32:06.093
<v Doc>sunday when you ain't doing nothing it just goes through the folder and
00:32:06.093 --> 00:32:09.373
<v Doc>just chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp and then you know you're good to go throw
00:32:09.373 --> 00:32:14.893
<v Doc>the rest in the trash so that's one thing that i do um do you do anything differently
00:32:14.893 --> 00:32:23.493
<v Doc>as far as like getting your files prepped or storing them for future reference well.
00:32:23.493 --> 00:32:28.053
<v Luis>The prepping thing i need to start doing that shutter encoder fact,
00:32:28.233 --> 00:32:30.273
<v Luis>because that's for my own stuff.
00:32:30.713 --> 00:32:35.713
<v Luis>I actually have that program and should be using it. So that's just a great tip.
00:32:36.093 --> 00:32:39.793
<v Luis>But luckily when it comes to this production here on the flow,
00:32:40.013 --> 00:32:45.833
<v Luis>we also use another program or application called box and box is kind of like
00:32:45.833 --> 00:32:50.253
<v Luis>Dropbox or iCloud or another form of storage.
00:32:50.253 --> 00:32:54.733
<v Luis>But through Ecamm, we have a substantial amount.
00:32:55.333 --> 00:32:58.553
<v Luis>Unlimited, I believe. Yes, of course. And because of that,
00:32:59.529 --> 00:33:05.589
<v Luis>I haven't been dealing a lot with the compressing before I kind of like offload
00:33:05.589 --> 00:33:08.769
<v Luis>those files from my computer into box.
00:33:09.149 --> 00:33:16.369
<v Luis>But I do it kind of fast, so to speak, because as soon as I get those files
00:33:16.369 --> 00:33:21.669
<v Luis>and as a producer, another asterisk, 50 gigabytes of data.
00:33:22.249 --> 00:33:29.509
<v Luis>It's usually like my weekly, um, amount of consumption and data per show per week.
00:33:29.689 --> 00:33:33.829
<v Luis>So even if we're not sharing anything, when it comes to the files that I get
00:33:33.829 --> 00:33:38.509
<v Luis>from doc that are created here, standalone, the ones that I get from Katie or
00:33:38.509 --> 00:33:43.169
<v Luis>a guest 50 gigabytes of data weekly is like average.
00:33:43.369 --> 00:33:48.369
<v Luis>So once I've compiled all that, and then I take the files that I'm going to
00:33:48.369 --> 00:33:51.589
<v Luis>use. and I put them into the editor, my case, Final Cut Pro,
00:33:52.309 --> 00:33:56.289
<v Luis>Final Cut actually creates another copy of the original files.
00:33:56.429 --> 00:33:59.989
<v Luis>And that's the way that I have it set up so that I don't have to kind of be
00:33:59.989 --> 00:34:04.649
<v Luis>going back and forth. Or if I need to, you know, like move that project onto
00:34:04.649 --> 00:34:07.889
<v Luis>another computer, I'm taking everything that I need with it.
00:34:08.009 --> 00:34:12.089
<v Luis>And I don't need to rely on the original files on the computer.
00:34:12.309 --> 00:34:17.409
<v Luis>As soon as that happens, I don't need that extra 50 gigabytes on my machine.
00:34:17.409 --> 00:34:22.269
<v Luis>So I take it and I throw it right into box, you know, organized so that it's
00:34:22.269 --> 00:34:25.829
<v Luis>stored away and I just like offload it as soon as possible.
00:34:26.069 --> 00:34:31.129
<v Luis>So the time that I would use to kind of compress it to then upload,
00:34:31.289 --> 00:34:38.049
<v Luis>I'm just using it to upload directly to box because unlimited is just easier in that aspect.
00:34:38.269 --> 00:34:43.189
<v Luis>So that's what I've been doing. But for my own stuff, I need to definitely start
00:34:43.189 --> 00:34:48.029
<v Luis>using the Shudder Compressor because no Shudder Encoder to compress those files.
00:34:48.529 --> 00:34:54.989
<v Doc>And crazy, I just added another 18 terabyte drive to the Synology.
00:34:56.136 --> 00:35:01.916
<v Doc>Um, so I have more space and the funny man, it takes three days for that sucker to process.
00:35:02.436 --> 00:35:06.396
<v Doc>And I was leaving and I was like, I stuck it in and didn't grow yet.
00:35:06.636 --> 00:35:08.236
<v Doc>It is like, it has to do the calculation.
00:35:08.636 --> 00:35:14.416
<v Doc>And as full as that sucker is like over 50 terabytes, it took three days for
00:35:14.416 --> 00:35:17.096
<v Doc>it to process, but now I got more space and I'm good to go.
00:35:17.316 --> 00:35:20.136
<v Doc>And I think I'm going to buy one more just to make it faster.
00:35:20.516 --> 00:35:24.376
<v Doc>Um, the crazy thing is I did something that I'm a little terrified of,
00:35:24.476 --> 00:35:28.896
<v Doc>but I'm like, you know what i'm a risk taker i actually tried a renewed one
00:35:28.896 --> 00:35:32.796
<v Doc>because it was what was in stock but the renewed one came with a five-year warranty
00:35:32.796 --> 00:35:37.956
<v Doc>so i'm like all right all right western digital feed don't feel me now i ordered
00:35:37.956 --> 00:35:43.016
<v Doc>it direct from western digital though so that that made me feel a little better but.
00:35:43.016 --> 00:35:47.976
<v Luis>Here's another thing that you're putting it into a nas now yes we're using a
00:35:47.976 --> 00:35:51.976
<v Luis>like a refurb and it's the only drive yeah i don't
00:35:51.976 --> 00:35:55.376
<v Doc>Recommend that's why that's That's why I did it. I'm like, it comes from Western Digital.
00:35:56.176 --> 00:36:01.076
<v Doc>And what they said they did, right, is sometimes when you build a drive,
00:36:01.236 --> 00:36:02.276
<v Doc>I do understand circuitry.
00:36:02.416 --> 00:36:05.356
<v Doc>Sometimes you can get a bad circuit board. The platters passed all inspections.
00:36:05.616 --> 00:36:07.736
<v Doc>The circuit board was messed up. They just swapped the circuit board,
00:36:07.816 --> 00:36:11.976
<v Doc>which is actually easy to do. You can do it yourself with a little bit of solid skills.
00:36:11.976 --> 00:36:12.796
<v Luis>I have done it.
00:36:12.936 --> 00:36:15.556
<v Doc>Yeah, so with a little solid skills, you can do it yourself.
00:36:16.196 --> 00:36:18.256
<v Doc>But they say all they did was swap the circuit board.
00:36:18.356 --> 00:36:20.896
<v Doc>All right, cool, five-year warranty bet. I ordered it straight from Western
00:36:20.896 --> 00:36:27.116
<v Doc>Digital, and I got an 18-terabyte drive for $219 and some changes.
00:36:27.116 --> 00:36:27.816
<v Luis>Oh, that's good.
00:36:27.936 --> 00:36:31.156
<v Doc>It's right, Hollaback, young and what? So I said, all right, I'm going to risk it.
00:36:31.256 --> 00:36:32.296
<v Luis>Yeah, because that's the price of eight gigs.
00:36:32.556 --> 00:36:35.896
<v Doc>Right? So I'm going to let it see what goes, and then I'm going to throw it
00:36:35.896 --> 00:36:39.376
<v Doc>back, get an X-Wing, and put it in there just for speed. Because when you have
00:36:39.376 --> 00:36:40.876
<v Doc>more space, your NAS moves quicker.
00:36:41.176 --> 00:36:46.296
<v Doc>But, yeah, I do store a majority of my things on the NAS, and you will generate some files.
00:36:46.376 --> 00:36:49.436
<v Doc>Let's get that straight. it's a matter of if you're comfortable with
00:36:49.436 --> 00:36:52.696
<v Doc>re-downloading your source directly from youtube then you
00:36:52.696 --> 00:36:55.656
<v Doc>can throw it away when you're done some of us weirdos keep it
00:36:55.656 --> 00:36:58.316
<v Doc>all like i got all of the zoom calls all of
00:36:58.316 --> 00:37:01.736
<v Doc>the video joints from the very very beginning
00:37:01.736 --> 00:37:04.696
<v Doc>of doing this my show like five years
00:37:04.696 --> 00:37:07.696
<v Doc>ago so it's kind of crazy i should probably go
00:37:07.696 --> 00:37:10.616
<v Doc>back digital hoarders yeah i should go back and chop off
00:37:10.616 --> 00:37:14.056
<v Doc>the last three years and only keep the last two um which
00:37:14.056 --> 00:37:17.096
<v Doc>i started doing for more of the zoom stuff but the ecamm
00:37:17.096 --> 00:37:20.196
<v Doc>recordings i don't know there's something about something about mary that's
00:37:20.196 --> 00:37:26.356
<v Doc>got that going all right so let's talk about something real quick um what is
00:37:26.356 --> 00:37:32.576
<v Doc>it like being a producer like how does how that's so silly silly question but
00:37:32.576 --> 00:37:35.416
<v Doc>it makes sense in my head how does it make you feel.
00:37:37.078 --> 00:37:40.438
<v Luis>Well, that's funny because you said it's a silly question, but it's probably
00:37:40.438 --> 00:37:46.258
<v Luis>maybe my favorite so far because I absolutely love this, right?
00:37:46.438 --> 00:37:51.518
<v Luis>Like if I had nothing to do and I had all the time in the world,
00:37:51.578 --> 00:37:53.038
<v Luis>this is what I'd be doing.
00:37:53.218 --> 00:37:59.718
<v Luis>I'd be messing with this type of tech and just learning and nerding out because it's what I love to do.
00:37:59.718 --> 00:38:05.698
<v Luis>And I'm very lucky that I also get to make money doing the thing that I love,
00:38:05.838 --> 00:38:09.718
<v Luis>which is like they say, if you do what you love, you don't work a day in your life.
00:38:10.238 --> 00:38:15.738
<v Luis>And it seems a little funny, but that's how I feel when it comes to these productions,
00:38:15.778 --> 00:38:22.718
<v Luis>because like I said, I take my time and I start prepping hours ahead of time
00:38:22.718 --> 00:38:25.158
<v Luis>of the actual production because I love it.
00:38:25.158 --> 00:38:28.738
<v Luis>I would love to be in front of it and I'm doing all these little new ones and
00:38:28.738 --> 00:38:33.858
<v Luis>nine times out of 10, I'm switching something that nobody's even going to notice,
00:38:33.858 --> 00:38:36.118
<v Luis>but that's what I love about it. Right.
00:38:36.238 --> 00:38:40.978
<v Luis>And the fact that I get to do this and then produce a high quality production
00:38:40.978 --> 00:38:44.158
<v Luis>for somebody else and have them like,
00:38:44.318 --> 00:38:50.118
<v Luis>not only enjoy it, but enjoy the experience and the final product is something
00:38:50.118 --> 00:38:51.578
<v Luis>that's, you know, very viable.
00:38:52.058 --> 00:38:56.498
<v Luis>That's what makes it like the best for me. And that's why I'm like,
00:38:56.498 --> 00:38:59.918
<v Luis>they say a pig in mud because I'm really in my element.
00:39:00.238 --> 00:39:03.338
<v Doc>You know, I, I just met, uh, not just met.
00:39:03.498 --> 00:39:06.958
<v Doc>I saw again, I met her like maybe three or four conferences ago,
00:39:06.958 --> 00:39:12.118
<v Doc>but I met this lady, Maribel, uh, Puerto Rican girl, of course.
00:39:12.378 --> 00:39:17.478
<v Doc>Um, and her and her husband do a show on the fricking golf channel.
00:39:17.478 --> 00:39:20.538
<v Doc>And she's Louise for this show on the golf channel.
00:39:21.778 --> 00:39:29.018
<v Doc>And like it's when you see somebody who's like podcast producer on like the
00:39:29.018 --> 00:39:33.658
<v Doc>large scale I'm like yo there's a lot of space in this part people are looking
00:39:33.658 --> 00:39:38.838
<v Doc>for that lane and I had mentioned something in a video a couple days ago on
00:39:38.838 --> 00:39:40.278
<v Doc>my channel where I was talking about,
00:39:41.198 --> 00:39:46.938
<v Doc>maybe you come to grips of I don't have as much time to be in front of the camera
00:39:46.938 --> 00:39:49.718
<v Doc>but I'm super, super dope behind the camera.
00:39:49.898 --> 00:39:53.818
<v Doc>If you're an editor, if you're a planner, if you're a writer,
00:39:54.098 --> 00:39:57.758
<v Doc>if you're a producer, if you're an executive producer like Paul,
00:39:57.998 --> 00:40:02.878
<v Doc>who can get that ClickUp, Paul is like a freaking chef with ClickUp.
00:40:03.178 --> 00:40:09.238
<v Doc>I don't give Paul credit for much, but when it comes to ClickUp, he's like, sit down.
00:40:09.398 --> 00:40:11.758
<v Doc>Let me show y'all this. Blah, blah, blah, blah, boom, done.
00:40:12.018 --> 00:40:14.098
<v Doc>I present you ClickUp a la raunch.
00:40:14.438 --> 00:40:17.058
<v Doc>Like he got everything. Everything, the databases are insane.
00:40:17.838 --> 00:40:24.278
<v Doc>There's space for everybody out here, even if you like, I can't do the on camera
00:40:24.278 --> 00:40:25.718
<v Doc>thing. Like I can't talk.
00:40:26.278 --> 00:40:31.438
<v Doc>So there's space. And if you were to go into the LinkedIn event,
00:40:31.878 --> 00:40:33.598
<v Doc>there's choke people looking for you.
00:40:34.684 --> 00:40:39.144
<v Doc>And it's funny because I get, I'm going to, John, I'm not picking on you.
00:40:39.244 --> 00:40:42.024
<v Doc>I know you're brand new. You just maybe didn't think it was worth 15 bucks,
00:40:42.024 --> 00:40:45.184
<v Doc>but I want to say, maybe you have somebody like John that's saying,
00:40:45.184 --> 00:40:46.244
<v Doc>I want to do this. I want to do this.
00:40:46.324 --> 00:40:48.944
<v Doc>I want to do this, but it's going to cost me like 40 bucks a month.
00:40:49.624 --> 00:40:53.264
<v Doc>If you're really good at the graphics part, yo, you can make five,
00:40:53.404 --> 00:40:55.124
<v Doc>$600 a month, just making thumbnails.
00:40:55.924 --> 00:41:02.444
<v Doc>So that way you can add that 50 to your show and get down with the get down.
00:41:03.324 --> 00:41:07.744
<v Doc>Right. There's people like Paul who would be guest management,
00:41:08.024 --> 00:41:12.644
<v Doc>sending out emails, making sure it's called the Wrangler in production.
00:41:13.724 --> 00:41:17.544
<v Doc>Paul would be a good Wrangler. He's going to get the guest. He's going to call
00:41:17.544 --> 00:41:21.404
<v Doc>Chris and make sure that Chris and Jim show up 15 minutes ahead of time.
00:41:21.524 --> 00:41:26.184
<v Doc>He's going to email Chris and Jim on Wednesday and do the tech check and make
00:41:26.184 --> 00:41:28.584
<v Doc>sure that the Internet is good. Now, Jim lives in Atlanta.
00:41:28.804 --> 00:41:31.624
<v Doc>He got like 5,000 by 5,000 AT&T.
00:41:32.524 --> 00:41:36.824
<v Doc>Chris is in Georgia, but he got Peach Wireless. I don't know what he got,
00:41:36.984 --> 00:41:38.404
<v Doc>but it ain't the same as what Jim got.
00:41:39.564 --> 00:41:41.904
<v Doc>So Paul would call them, get them
00:41:41.904 --> 00:41:45.424
<v Doc>on the behind the scenes, make sure everything is like flowing, right?
00:41:45.624 --> 00:41:49.324
<v Doc>Check if they got any links. If the deal casters book tour is happening,
00:41:49.644 --> 00:41:51.144
<v Doc>he'll have all of that stuff, right?
00:41:51.244 --> 00:41:55.744
<v Doc>He's going to prep everything, get it together. And then he's going to pass that off to Luis.
00:41:55.964 --> 00:42:00.204
<v Doc>He's going to send the Lolo to say Katie and I.
00:42:00.824 --> 00:42:04.584
<v Doc>And he was going to be like, okay, this week when they come on,
00:42:04.704 --> 00:42:05.784
<v Doc>it's going to be Chris's birthday.
00:42:06.084 --> 00:42:10.044
<v Doc>You know, make sure you give him a shout out. And it turns out that Chris really
00:42:10.044 --> 00:42:11.124
<v Doc>loves the Detroit Lions.
00:42:11.264 --> 00:42:14.564
<v Doc>So if you want to throw that in there some kind of way, blah,
00:42:14.704 --> 00:42:18.284
<v Doc>blah, blah. Like why he liked Detroit Lions, I don't know. But whatever.
00:42:18.624 --> 00:42:22.624
<v Doc>Honolulu Blue, I'm going to let him have it. You know, so that's what somebody
00:42:22.624 --> 00:42:25.964
<v Doc>like Paul the Wrangler would do. There's a whole space for that.
00:42:26.284 --> 00:42:30.864
<v Doc>Like legit, there just is. I watch the people that do it for other people that kick conference.
00:42:31.064 --> 00:42:34.904
<v Doc>And we're talking like the big time. I know who the Paul is for Pat Flynn.
00:42:35.924 --> 00:42:41.484
<v Doc>I know who the Paul is for, um, for Nathan from, from kid.
00:42:41.764 --> 00:42:47.244
<v Doc>I know who the Paul is for Jay Klaus and for, you know, some of the other people that we work with.
00:42:48.024 --> 00:42:51.864
<v Doc>Right. So the biggest players, they have people like that.
00:42:51.964 --> 00:42:54.904
<v Doc>So if you're good at that type of stuff, put your folio together,
00:42:54.904 --> 00:42:58.564
<v Doc>you know, knock yourself out. There's a lot of room in this podcasting space
00:42:58.564 --> 00:43:00.404
<v Doc>that doesn't necessarily have to be in the front.
00:43:00.544 --> 00:43:05.144
<v Doc>And I would tell you, call Luis and like, you know, buy a session with him and
00:43:05.144 --> 00:43:08.884
<v Doc>have him show you how to remote produce because, yo, it's the money to be made.
00:43:09.224 --> 00:43:12.704
<v Doc>Like, if you got the time for it and the patience, well, I don't have the patience.
00:43:13.464 --> 00:43:19.064
<v Doc>Somebody just called me yesterday and was like, I got like 10 grand for you
00:43:19.064 --> 00:43:24.784
<v Doc>to produce half a season of these podcasts.
00:43:25.304 --> 00:43:27.524
<v Doc>I'm like, I can't do it. I ain't got the time.
00:43:28.364 --> 00:43:29.164
<v Doc>I wish I did.
00:43:30.644 --> 00:43:31.544
<v Luis>Send them my link.
00:43:31.784 --> 00:43:37.044
<v Doc>They want you to be here, unfortunately, because they don't understand how remote production works.
00:43:37.724 --> 00:43:40.244
<v Doc>And the other part is you're going to have to get your polale.
00:43:44.084 --> 00:43:47.844
<v Doc>I don't speak fluent Hawaiian, but I understand enough so I can handle it.
00:43:48.384 --> 00:43:51.544
<v Doc>But, you know, I'm telling you, it's out here. It is out here.
00:43:51.624 --> 00:43:53.364
<v Doc>I legit just had this conversation yesterday.
00:43:53.784 --> 00:43:55.964
<v Doc>I'm going to have to put them up with Brad because, you know,
00:43:56.044 --> 00:43:58.544
<v Doc>Brad got a new kid to feed now. So that's cool.
00:43:59.704 --> 00:44:07.184
<v Luis>Yeah, but anybody could understand this from the aspect of going to a concert, right?
00:44:07.364 --> 00:44:12.024
<v Luis>Anyone who's ever been to a concert, you go there for the talent on stage,
00:44:12.024 --> 00:44:16.884
<v Luis>which is the reason what brought you out of the house to go to this venue.
00:44:16.884 --> 00:44:22.244
<v Luis>But the thing is that there are so many people right there behind the scenes,
00:44:22.484 --> 00:44:25.484
<v Luis>the audio mixer and sound engineers,
00:44:26.224 --> 00:44:31.544
<v Luis>lighting, the grip crew, so many things that need to be done correctly behind
00:44:31.544 --> 00:44:34.964
<v Luis>the scenes so that you can get that high quality production.
00:44:34.964 --> 00:44:38.044
<v Luis>And they are just as important
00:44:38.044 --> 00:44:41.404
<v Luis>not more or less but just as important
00:44:41.404 --> 00:44:44.544
<v Luis>as the talent on stage that
00:44:44.544 --> 00:44:49.584
<v Luis>you're there paying the ticket for and if they were to not do their job it is
00:44:49.584 --> 00:44:54.624
<v Luis>like the lead singer you know trying to sing with like strep throat it is like
00:44:54.624 --> 00:44:59.904
<v Luis>it's not gonna happen and they're just as important except you will never know
00:44:59.904 --> 00:45:03.964
<v Luis>their names and those are the behind the scenes producers like myself.
00:45:04.204 --> 00:45:11.424
<v Doc>If I was going to go to see Taylor or Beehive, I would show up early and just
00:45:11.424 --> 00:45:13.364
<v Doc>like scope out all of the tech.
00:45:13.544 --> 00:45:16.564
<v Doc>I'd be scoping out the sound boxes, the whole nine yards.
00:45:16.724 --> 00:45:20.184
<v Doc>I'd be seeing how many flyers they have. You know, when they build a speaker
00:45:20.184 --> 00:45:23.124
<v Doc>array that hangs from the ceiling, those are called flyers.
00:45:23.324 --> 00:45:27.004
<v Doc>I'd be scoping out the flyers. I'd be talking to the guys about what type of
00:45:27.004 --> 00:45:28.664
<v Doc>wireless monitoring systems you're using.
00:45:28.844 --> 00:45:31.304
<v Doc>Like I would scope out the whole thing. And during the show,
00:45:31.504 --> 00:45:35.664
<v Doc>when you're supposed to be watching Tay do her thing, I'll be looking at the sound man.
00:45:35.864 --> 00:45:38.784
<v Doc>Be like, what he doing? Oh, he got an SSL? That's incredible.
00:45:39.044 --> 00:45:42.004
<v Doc>You know, that's what I would do because I've done it before.
00:45:42.684 --> 00:45:48.324
<v Doc>So I know for a fact when I'm going to go see Sumo here, I'm watching what the
00:45:48.324 --> 00:45:50.204
<v Doc>camera guys are doing because they're basically invisible.
00:45:50.724 --> 00:45:54.644
<v Doc>But they're getting these great shots for the overhead and I'm looking at how
00:45:54.644 --> 00:45:58.604
<v Doc>they're doing it and it's a Fujianon box lens, you know, 50 mil.
00:45:59.464 --> 00:46:02.564
<v Doc>It's just, anyway, Anyway, yeah, a hundred percent, so Louisa is on point there.
00:46:02.904 --> 00:46:06.304
<v Doc>All right, gang, we're gonna crack open some Q&A so you can get on.
00:46:06.964 --> 00:46:13.584
<v Doc>And I'll start with Patrick, because Patrick said, which headphones are you using, Doc?
00:46:14.164 --> 00:46:17.404
<v Doc>Patrick, are you related to Rich? Where's Rich?
00:46:19.204 --> 00:46:26.664
<v Doc>Anyway, I am using these. Paul put the link in the chat maybe, but these are just,
00:46:28.419 --> 00:46:33.459
<v Doc>generic KB ear. There you go. They're like 20 bones on Amazon.
00:46:33.939 --> 00:46:39.899
<v Doc>These are absolutely the best. Um, and I, I keep backup copies.
00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:44.799
<v Doc>There you go. Uh, no relation, rich, rich and Patrick are not related,
00:46:44.799 --> 00:46:47.939
<v Doc>but yeah, these are really good. Amazon 20 bucks.
00:46:48.219 --> 00:46:53.939
<v Doc>These are particular KB ears, but they're also sold to CBA, uh, CAA, sorry, CCA.
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:58.619
<v Doc>Thank you. Let me get this straight. KB ear, CCA, uh, Lensoul,
00:46:59.419 --> 00:47:07.899
<v Doc>KZ, ZSN, they're all the same basic one driver, one base driver,
00:47:08.799 --> 00:47:11.179
<v Doc>sub $25 in-ear monitors.
00:47:11.399 --> 00:47:16.639
<v Doc>They're all good. They're basically the same, just probably two families that
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:21.199
<v Doc>make like 60 different brands, but they're phenomenal and they're so cheap.
00:47:21.319 --> 00:47:24.319
<v Doc>And my favorite thing about these is the cables is replaceable.
00:47:24.319 --> 00:47:28.959
<v Doc>So if you do have a dog or cat or something that does something crazy to your
00:47:28.959 --> 00:47:32.279
<v Doc>doohickey, you can just pop it off, get a new cable.
00:47:32.419 --> 00:47:35.519
<v Doc>As a matter of fact, I have a new cable because this cable is starting to oxidize.
00:47:36.299 --> 00:47:41.039
<v Doc>And I just found out they came out with a brand new purple cable.
00:47:42.879 --> 00:47:47.379
<v Doc>It's like 30 bones. The cable costs more than the headset, but I'm that dude.
00:47:47.379 --> 00:47:50.819
<v Doc>So I'm fixing to buy the new purple cable because it's dope.
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:56.659
<v Doc>I have backup ones back here yeah they're just incredible go ahead.
00:47:57.799 --> 00:48:01.039
<v Luis>Well i wanted to add to that because that is ideal
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:03.959
<v Luis>when it comes to production to have a wired setup
00:48:03.959 --> 00:48:11.219
<v Luis>now me as a producer just asterisk these are wireless headphones but i'm using
00:48:11.219 --> 00:48:17.679
<v Luis>them in a wired manner so even though they're the apple airpods these are my
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:22.019
<v Luis>older set that are actually not connected to any of my iCloud setups.
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:26.839
<v Luis>They're only connected to this little transmitter that I have here that just
00:48:26.839 --> 00:48:31.999
<v Luis>has a standard, you know, um, headphone jack, and that's what I have connected.
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:35.859
<v Luis>So anything that I connect that to goes directly to these wireless,
00:48:36.139 --> 00:48:39.479
<v Luis>which is just a feature that I have to cater to my son.
00:48:39.699 --> 00:48:45.099
<v Luis>But if it wasn't for that case, I'd be using a wired headset because that's
00:48:45.099 --> 00:48:49.779
<v Luis>what's ideal when it comes to being a guest and also your own productions.
00:48:50.099 --> 00:48:54.199
<v Doc>Yeah. And one thing that's bad about AirPods is beautiful as they are and as good as they sound.
00:48:54.931 --> 00:48:58.411
<v Doc>All you need to do is be in the middle of your show and like your kid come in
00:48:58.411 --> 00:49:01.351
<v Doc>and pick up your phone and it just jumped over to your phone.
00:49:01.611 --> 00:49:05.271
<v Doc>You know what I mean? Or, you know, maybe you hit the mouse and accidentally
00:49:05.271 --> 00:49:09.791
<v Doc>wake up your secondary computer or your iPad or something and the sound would jump over there.
00:49:09.991 --> 00:49:13.071
<v Doc>Then you're like absolutely lost. So yeah, I don't normally recommend it,
00:49:13.091 --> 00:49:18.171
<v Doc>but that thing that Luis has, I actually have in my, I have in my alpaca, my day pack,
00:49:18.411 --> 00:49:22.431
<v Doc>because when I fly, I just plug that sucker into the back of the headset so
00:49:22.431 --> 00:49:26.651
<v Doc>I can listen to whatever's on the back of the airplane seat if i don't you know
00:49:26.651 --> 00:49:29.491
<v Doc>in the beginning stages where you can't get your ipad out or it's up in the
00:49:29.491 --> 00:49:30.731
<v Doc>ceiling or something yeah and.
00:49:30.731 --> 00:49:35.491
<v Luis>Just to clarify like these airpods are not connected to any other device so
00:49:35.491 --> 00:49:40.351
<v Luis>they won't automatically jump to anything they only have like eyes or communication
00:49:40.351 --> 00:49:45.671
<v Luis>for that device that's why i use it because the only communication is to that
00:49:45.671 --> 00:49:48.691
<v Luis>dongle yeah that's the way that i bypass it
00:49:48.691 --> 00:49:52.351
<v Doc>100 percent now um while we waiting for your questions, I do want to remind
00:49:52.351 --> 00:49:56.511
<v Doc>you, we do have a free podcasting course. Paul did put the link in the chat.
00:49:56.731 --> 00:49:59.831
<v Doc>Make sure you go and check that out. If you're just getting started,
00:50:00.531 --> 00:50:04.431
<v Doc>we're going to, it's a living course. So we're constantly updated when something
00:50:04.431 --> 00:50:07.111
<v Doc>fresh and new comes out, like we go to town with that.
00:50:07.291 --> 00:50:12.271
<v Doc>And it's, it's really, it's, it's weird to say this, but it's good.
00:50:14.251 --> 00:50:18.351
<v Doc>It's weird to say that about something that you made, but it really is good.
00:50:18.351 --> 00:50:21.051
<v Doc>And I like the fact that it's a living course.
00:50:21.191 --> 00:50:26.131
<v Doc>So that does allow us to constantly update it so we can keep you going on what's going on.
00:50:26.331 --> 00:50:30.111
<v Doc>And then again, open for questions. Now, if you have any questions,
00:50:30.271 --> 00:50:31.071
<v Doc>please throw them in the chat.
00:50:31.511 --> 00:50:36.611
<v Doc>I think another thing that's just really important to suss out is how important
00:50:36.611 --> 00:50:39.751
<v Doc>doing your podcast on YouTube is right now.
00:50:41.022 --> 00:50:48.662
<v Doc>It's, it's phenomenal. Like more and more and more, I go into those search boxy
00:50:48.662 --> 00:50:55.042
<v Doc>there and whether it's Gemini or, you know, Google's new AI search or perplexity,
00:50:55.262 --> 00:51:00.022
<v Doc>it's snatching these results basically from content that's produced.
00:51:00.922 --> 00:51:08.082
<v Doc>It's, it's really, really helpful. And so if you are an expert like our buddy
00:51:08.082 --> 00:51:12.902
<v Doc>rich graham is an expert at getting say premiums for your business right and
00:51:12.902 --> 00:51:17.942
<v Doc>so we're doing you know we're buying stuff for camp right now so paul katie jill,
00:51:18.662 --> 00:51:22.582
<v Doc>caleb and i we've been looking at various things right like say you wanted to buy,
00:51:23.422 --> 00:51:28.162
<v Doc>a bunch of branded bottles like this hydrate spark with the little led that
00:51:28.162 --> 00:51:32.162
<v Doc>reminds you when to drink and you're like, I want to get, you know,
00:51:32.302 --> 00:51:33.782
<v Doc>XYZ premiums or whatever.
00:51:34.002 --> 00:51:41.022
<v Doc>All of that content that Rich produces now is a larger portion of the search
00:51:41.022 --> 00:51:42.762
<v Doc>diaspora than ever before.
00:51:43.262 --> 00:51:51.082
<v Doc>So because he's producing video content and shorts on his, on his Instagram,
00:51:52.242 --> 00:51:55.022
<v Doc>it's funny. Is this still Instagram when it's Rich Graham?
00:51:56.302 --> 00:52:00.282
<v Doc>Is it Instagram Graham? Is it a Graham Graham? Anyway, it's Insta Rich.
00:52:00.482 --> 00:52:02.682
<v Doc>It's Insta Rich. I wish I was.
00:52:04.922 --> 00:52:09.442
<v Doc>But those results are going to come up because Rich is actually doing that work.
00:52:09.642 --> 00:52:13.262
<v Doc>He's going to come up higher than some of the other people who still think that,
00:52:13.382 --> 00:52:16.962
<v Doc>oh, I don't need to do social media because I don't like social media because it's too political.
00:52:17.322 --> 00:52:22.062
<v Doc>Like those guys are going to get smoked. So your feelings about the current
00:52:22.062 --> 00:52:24.922
<v Doc>administration or the former ain't got nothing to do with it.
00:52:24.922 --> 00:52:28.342
<v Doc>But if you're not out here producing because you quote unquote don't like social
00:52:28.342 --> 00:52:31.542
<v Doc>media, which is weird because YouTube is not really a social media,
00:52:31.762 --> 00:52:36.602
<v Doc>you're missing opportunity that's incredible.
00:52:36.842 --> 00:52:41.242
<v Doc>I was looking for stuff yesterday and I'm surprised at how many times it shows
00:52:41.242 --> 00:52:45.402
<v Doc>me a YouTube video as the source for where that answer came from.
00:52:45.822 --> 00:52:51.342
<v Doc>It's kind of incredible, like incredible, super cool.
00:52:52.142 --> 00:52:58.362
<v Doc>And I'm just comparing Kotopaxi backpacks because I need a new pack for travel
00:52:58.362 --> 00:53:02.462
<v Doc>for Japan because my tech bag is just getting a little bit heavy.
00:53:03.619 --> 00:53:06.259
<v Doc>And I was like, let me go check out these new Cotopaxi ones because they're
00:53:06.259 --> 00:53:07.899
<v Doc>just made out of recyclable materials.
00:53:08.139 --> 00:53:11.859
<v Doc>And, you know, me, I'm also all in on Merino stuff. So I'm seeing if anybody,
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:15.319
<v Doc>you know, recently has stepped up to Unbound because Unbound is expensive,
00:53:15.339 --> 00:53:17.779
<v Doc>but it's the best. I'm like, anybody can step to that.
00:53:18.399 --> 00:53:22.299
<v Doc>So I did a little Google search and gave me some stuff and it got Quince got
00:53:22.299 --> 00:53:25.399
<v Doc>high praises and Quince shirts of 40 bucks instead of 100.
00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:28.579
<v Doc>So I tried them and they're good.
00:53:29.379 --> 00:53:33.399
<v Doc>They're not Unbound. So I'm going to stick to the 100 because I ain't that broke.
00:53:33.619 --> 00:53:37.479
<v Doc>But if you need a way to slide in, yo, actually I am that broke,
00:53:37.619 --> 00:53:38.719
<v Doc>but I just like good stuff.
00:53:39.839 --> 00:53:42.919
<v Doc>If you like the way to slide in, Quince is a good, I can recommend,
00:53:42.959 --> 00:53:44.819
<v Doc>I can recommend to people Quince is dope.
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:48.019
<v Doc>I will always say to them that my Unbound is better. It's softer.
00:53:48.019 --> 00:53:50.259
<v Doc>It doesn't have that little shine to it.
00:53:50.619 --> 00:53:54.519
<v Doc>But if you needed a good travel shirt that you could wear like three days and
00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:59.039
<v Doc>not stink, no matter how funky you are, I can tell you Quince is good for 40 bucks.
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:04.919
<v Doc>Actually, yeah, it was $38. So let's call it 40. Like these results are coming
00:54:04.919 --> 00:54:06.499
<v Doc>from the content that people made.
00:54:08.579 --> 00:54:10.539
<v Luis>So you got to make this content,
00:54:10.739 --> 00:54:16.159
<v Doc>Fam. Like you are missing the boat, like still tripping on stuff that ain't
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:17.139
<v Doc>got nothing to do with you.
00:54:17.319 --> 00:54:19.579
<v Doc>I don't like the sound of my voice.
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.019
<v Doc>We don't like the sound of your voice neither, but I need the info you got.
00:54:23.419 --> 00:54:25.699
<v Doc>How about that? How about that? Let me come hard.
00:54:26.939 --> 00:54:30.939
<v Luis>I bet you didn't like the sound of all of your teachers' voices growing up in
00:54:30.939 --> 00:54:34.119
<v Luis>school. I bet you some of them got on your phone. I'll tell you right now, when I be trying to add
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:38.699
<v Doc>Up these charts, I got, I'm like, Miss Rosen, you finally came through with your coffee breath.
00:54:39.479 --> 00:54:42.919
<v Doc>Now I need her. Before I was mad, like, I don't need to learn this mess.
00:54:43.299 --> 00:54:47.579
<v Doc>You know, I'm over here calculating spatial distances or whatever and shipping
00:54:47.579 --> 00:54:51.099
<v Doc>containers and all this other mess I needed to do in order to do my Doc Pops.
00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:56.379
<v Doc>And when I started calculating, you know, like the shapes and sizes of microphones,
00:54:56.599 --> 00:55:00.179
<v Doc>I could smell Miss Rosen's coffee and cool mouths all up in my face.
00:55:00.179 --> 00:55:03.319
<v Doc>But it works you know what i mean with ecamm
00:55:03.319 --> 00:55:06.179
<v Doc>for with ecamm for
00:55:06.179 --> 00:55:10.759
<v Doc>does it generate zoom links to email to show guests i think you meant for ecamm
00:55:10.759 --> 00:55:14.119
<v Doc>for zoom gary you can't be missing words with like you know your boy can't read
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:19.419
<v Doc>all right i got you gary um you when you're in i can't do it right now because
00:55:19.419 --> 00:55:24.579
<v Doc>we're live but in the zoom box on ecamm when you say generate a meeting,
00:55:25.139 --> 00:55:29.339
<v Doc>it will generate the zoom link and then you can text or email that to your guests.
00:55:29.479 --> 00:55:34.959
<v Doc>You can also schedule your meetings on the zoom.com where you normally would
00:55:34.959 --> 00:55:40.839
<v Doc>do your scheduling. And then that auto populates the third button in Ecamm that says, okay.
00:55:42.635 --> 00:55:47.615
<v Doc>Schedule. I had to think about it because I always forget to look there.
00:55:47.895 --> 00:55:51.695
<v Doc>Me and Paul, we'd be laughing last week, right? Last week, I was just about
00:55:51.695 --> 00:55:53.535
<v Doc>to text Paul, Paul, where's the hell the link to the thing?
00:55:53.795 --> 00:55:56.275
<v Doc>And then Paul was about to text me, where's the link to the thing?
00:55:56.495 --> 00:55:59.535
<v Doc>And both of us realized all you can do is press schedule.
00:56:00.335 --> 00:56:05.455
<v Doc>It's right there. When you click on the schedule box, it populates from the
00:56:05.455 --> 00:56:08.155
<v Doc>meetings that you set up on zoom.com.
00:56:08.495 --> 00:56:12.715
<v Doc>And we both forgot about it because normally the two meetings that we do,
00:56:12.935 --> 00:56:18.195
<v Doc>which is one coming up in about 60 minutes, it was my Tuesday stream and my Saturday stream.
00:56:18.335 --> 00:56:22.875
<v Doc>Those links don't change. So we have those set up and then the one that we use for class.
00:56:23.875 --> 00:56:28.295
<v Doc>And so we were doing a Ecamm Tech Talk and it had been a minute because I've
00:56:28.295 --> 00:56:30.935
<v Doc>been traveling and both of us kind of forgot what the link is,
00:56:31.155 --> 00:56:32.375
<v Doc>but it's in the schedule button.
00:56:32.575 --> 00:56:37.695
<v Doc>So Gary, absolutely just go to schedule them how you normally schedule them
00:56:37.695 --> 00:56:41.355
<v Doc>with the website, or if you just want to do an ad hoc meeting,
00:56:41.575 --> 00:56:44.635
<v Doc>you can click on new meeting and it just opens.
00:56:44.835 --> 00:56:48.915
<v Doc>And then I, I tell you what, that's how I do my calls nowadays.
00:56:49.295 --> 00:56:51.655
<v Doc>When people say, Hey, you want to jump in a real car to do something quick,
00:56:51.755 --> 00:56:54.715
<v Doc>quick. I hit the, he can't presume open new meeting.
00:56:54.855 --> 00:56:57.655
<v Doc>And I send them a link like super simple.
00:56:58.155 --> 00:57:00.615
<v Doc>Brandon is just like, Hey man, I want to check out something with my sound.
00:57:00.775 --> 00:57:02.675
<v Doc>I need to understand how the sound flow works.
00:57:02.855 --> 00:57:05.795
<v Doc>Boom. Here you go and in seconds he calls
00:57:05.795 --> 00:57:08.595
<v Doc>in and then we were like wait a minute this is backwards in order
00:57:08.595 --> 00:57:11.515
<v Doc>for you to hear this you should send me the link okay okay we
00:57:11.515 --> 00:57:14.775
<v Doc>hung up real quick he says me a link we jump on and then
00:57:14.775 --> 00:57:18.135
<v Doc>we just knock it out and i showed him how to do some sort of production stuff
00:57:18.135 --> 00:57:22.755
<v Doc>this is like it's really good i do all of my calls but you can't presume now
00:57:22.755 --> 00:57:28.335
<v Doc>gary so uh first of all fantastic question and definitely just go to town have
00:57:28.335 --> 00:57:31.555
<v Doc>fun one thing i must say before i forget,
00:57:32.275 --> 00:57:35.875
<v Doc>But people, I'm going to go Island Ivers here for a moment.
00:57:36.115 --> 00:57:38.955
<v Doc>The most important part of this, practice.
00:57:39.395 --> 00:57:41.215
<v Doc>We talking about practice.
00:57:43.355 --> 00:57:48.555
<v Doc>Send a link to Chris or Rich or Luis or somebody and practice.
00:57:48.815 --> 00:57:54.075
<v Doc>And Luis mentioned it earlier. You need to know what it feels like on both sides of the equation.
00:57:54.155 --> 00:57:58.755
<v Doc>You need to know what it feels like for you to be running that Zoom call,
00:57:58.895 --> 00:58:02.995
<v Doc>producing that show. You also need to know what it feels like to be a guest at that show.
00:58:03.675 --> 00:58:08.295
<v Doc>If you want, you can just put a link in the community and be like,
00:58:08.395 --> 00:58:11.515
<v Doc>hey, fam, I want to practice hosting guests in Zoom.
00:58:12.135 --> 00:58:15.435
<v Doc>Here's a link. Just post it up. Sit back and relax.
00:58:15.895 --> 00:58:19.215
<v Doc>And within a couple of minutes, somebody like Matt would be like,
00:58:19.395 --> 00:58:21.755
<v Doc>I ain't got nothing to do. Let's come through. Right.
00:58:22.135 --> 00:58:26.515
<v Doc>And then vice versa. I need to feel like what it feels like to guest.
00:58:26.655 --> 00:58:29.215
<v Doc>Can one of you guys fire up a meeting and send me a link?
00:58:29.795 --> 00:58:33.215
<v Doc>Yo, Matt's going to come through. He's going to have these little sticks like this.
00:58:34.215 --> 00:58:35.495
<v Doc>And then you're going to be like.
00:58:38.278 --> 00:58:43.878
<v Doc>So, you know, like it's so simple, family, the ECAM community. This is why we love them.
00:58:44.118 --> 00:58:48.878
<v Doc>Everybody is so willing to help. If you just said, hey, I got some time on Saturday
00:58:48.878 --> 00:58:50.058
<v Doc>from this time to this time.
00:58:50.258 --> 00:58:53.618
<v Doc>I need to practice my Zoom. People would be like, bet, let's go.
00:58:54.598 --> 00:58:59.118
<v Doc>Paul and Brand Joe have been doing the random practice sessions in the Facebook group.
00:58:59.938 --> 00:59:02.978
<v Doc>So just reach out if you need some practice, fam. You really,
00:59:03.118 --> 00:59:04.958
<v Doc>really, you really, really got to do it.
00:59:05.958 --> 00:59:07.878
<v Doc>And Matt would be like, hey, Matt, we need your help. I went,
00:59:08.038 --> 00:59:10.058
<v Doc>okay, I ain't finished a sentence yet.
00:59:11.258 --> 00:59:14.538
<v Doc>This legit happened last week, by the way. Hey, Matt, we need your help.
00:59:14.638 --> 00:59:16.578
<v Doc>Okay, whatever you want. Wait a minute, what do you want?
00:59:17.298 --> 00:59:21.458
<v Doc>That was exactly what happened, and Katie will prove it. Katie has my back.
00:59:21.858 --> 00:59:23.758
<v Doc>Matt's like, I'm down. I was like, Matt, you didn't even know.
00:59:23.818 --> 00:59:24.998
<v Doc>We could have told you to stole a car.
00:59:25.178 --> 00:59:27.978
<v Doc>He was like, whatever, Ecamm needs my help. I'm there. He was like,
00:59:28.198 --> 00:59:30.178
<v Doc>Matt Man. Hi, I'm Matt Man.
00:59:32.938 --> 00:59:36.498
<v Doc>That one could be used. Thank you, Matt. That one, I like that one. Thank you, Matt.
00:59:36.658 --> 00:59:41.318
<v Doc>I love you, bro. But yeah, like legit, that's how the ECAM community is.
00:59:41.738 --> 00:59:44.838
<v Doc>Matt, Mike, Ridge, Paul, like everybody who's hanging out.
00:59:44.918 --> 00:59:48.718
<v Doc>If you guys got questions, if you're new to this, just reach in the community
00:59:48.718 --> 00:59:51.318
<v Doc>and be like, fam, I need, I throw up the Matt signal.
00:59:52.378 --> 00:59:54.138
<v Doc>I'm going to beat this pun to death, yo.
00:59:55.940 --> 01:00:00.500
<v Doc>To the Matt-mobile. Let's go. Sorry, Matt. I'm going to leave you alone.
01:00:00.720 --> 01:00:02.080
<v Luis>Those are all good.
01:00:02.300 --> 01:00:07.600
<v Doc>Sorry, Matt. I'm going to stop. I can't believe I'm spouting DC stuff because I'm Marvel all day.
01:00:07.740 --> 01:00:11.340
<v Doc>I hate DC, but it's for Matt. So I'll just let the love go.
01:00:13.120 --> 01:00:16.780
<v Doc>Is that make sure we got everything. No, always waiting until at least 30 seconds
01:00:16.780 --> 01:00:18.020
<v Doc>to the show is much better.
01:00:18.580 --> 01:00:21.820
<v Doc>Aaron, what'd you say? What are you telling Paul? Aaron, you scared me.
01:00:23.620 --> 01:00:27.300
<v Doc>Thank you. Thank you, Gary. I appreciate you, bro. If you have any questions
01:00:27.300 --> 01:00:30.640
<v Doc>at all, please people just drop your, drop your questions in.
01:00:31.040 --> 01:00:35.680
<v Doc>Um, we're down to help this video podcast and stuff does not have to be scary.
01:00:35.860 --> 01:00:38.920
<v Doc>It does not have to be complicated. And Chris mentioned something way up in
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:42.640
<v Doc>the chat talking about, um, he said, just being smart.
01:00:43.100 --> 01:00:46.480
<v Doc>Uh, Chris mentioned something way up in the chat talking about these headphones.
01:00:46.500 --> 01:00:50.200
<v Doc>It's really about clarity and doesn't have to be expensive.
01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:53.440
<v Doc>And I say, that's the same thing about doing a podcast in
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:56.640
<v Doc>general uh chris is right with decent
01:00:56.640 --> 01:00:59.640
<v Doc>lighting in your phone you can produce something cool
01:00:59.640 --> 01:01:02.660
<v Doc>so don't overthink it you kind
01:01:02.660 --> 01:01:07.160
<v Doc>of have to just press buttons and see where you are all the rest of this stuff
01:01:07.160 --> 01:01:12.540
<v Doc>is learnable but overthinking it doesn't learn you anything except for how to
01:01:12.540 --> 01:01:17.720
<v Doc>take ibuprofen from the headache that's about it that's literally about it because
01:01:17.720 --> 01:01:20.340
<v Doc>all of that pent up frustration just becomes a headache.
01:01:20.600 --> 01:01:23.260
<v Doc>And so just avoid the headache and just make something instead.
01:01:23.740 --> 01:01:28.460
<v Doc>That's the answer. That is the answer. Okay, guys, I wanted to remind you that
01:01:28.460 --> 01:01:32.800
<v Doc>this show and pretty much the last couple of episodes have been sponsored by Shure.
01:01:32.980 --> 01:01:39.620
<v Doc>So make sure you go and check out Shure, S-H-U-R-E.com. That's S-H-U-R-E.com.
01:01:39.740 --> 01:01:41.540
<v Doc>We use them, all our microphones.
01:01:41.840 --> 01:01:46.120
<v Doc>Most of the E-C-A-M fam is rocking Shure microphones, and we just absolutely love it.
01:01:46.520 --> 01:01:48.660
<v Doc>And of course, if you want to reach out to us.

01:02:02.724 --> 01:02:07.044
<v Doc>And just a reminder, we do host this on Captivate. So go and check out the flow.
01:02:07.164 --> 01:02:09.784
<v Doc>You can leave us a guest request. You can ask questions.
01:02:10.084 --> 01:02:13.844
<v Doc>You can leave us voicemail, leave reviews. It's all there. And pretty soon,
01:02:13.864 --> 01:02:18.024
<v Doc>we're going to put the guest checklist so you can go and sign up to be a guest.
01:02:18.604 --> 01:02:24.384
<v Doc>That's cool. any last any last um any last minute things louise man i swear
01:02:24.384 --> 01:02:25.984
<v Doc>i speak english i promise you people.
01:02:26.724 --> 01:02:29.524
<v Luis>Because i i i want to
01:02:29.524 --> 01:02:34.304
<v Luis>add this in so that we don't make a third episode right of the production which
01:02:34.304 --> 01:02:40.124
<v Luis>is excuse me how we actually transfer our files now this is the last little
01:02:40.124 --> 01:02:47.204
<v Luis>nugget yes because uh doc introduced me to a new program that since has been
01:02:47.204 --> 01:02:49.364
<v Luis>my go-to and it's called blip
01:02:49.684 --> 01:02:55.324
<v Luis>Now blip is a like standalone program that works on your computer and it's allowed
01:02:55.324 --> 01:03:02.744
<v Luis>doc and Katie to transfer these big, massive files directly to my computer in a matter of minutes.
01:03:02.744 --> 01:03:09.064
<v Luis>It really tries to utilize your bandwidth and your high speed internet as much
01:03:09.064 --> 01:03:15.684
<v Luis>as possible. And I'm able to download a file from doc who's in Hawaii and around the half an hour.
01:03:16.224 --> 01:03:20.924
<v Luis>So he doesn't have to like upload it to another system like box.
01:03:21.064 --> 01:03:25.864
<v Luis>And then I have to then wait for it to process and then download it myself so
01:03:25.864 --> 01:03:28.184
<v Luis>that then I can start editing with blip.
01:03:28.344 --> 01:03:33.084
<v Luis>I'm getting these files directly on my computer in less than an hour.
01:03:33.284 --> 01:03:37.904
<v Luis>And I'm talking about 15 to 20 gigabytes files.
01:03:38.184 --> 01:03:42.364
<v Luis>And sometimes I've gotten them in minutes. So it depends on the internet,
01:03:42.364 --> 01:03:48.524
<v Luis>but I have to say, guys check it out it's super easy to use you just sign up
01:03:48.524 --> 01:03:52.404
<v Luis>with your email and pretty soon you'll be blipping files left and right
01:03:52.404 --> 01:03:55.344
<v Doc>Blipping is the new verb
01:03:55.344 --> 01:04:00.964
<v Doc>uh i think if i understand the way it works is when you're sending a file through
01:04:00.964 --> 01:04:04.204
<v Doc>something like dropbox or google drive or whatever you still have the overhead
01:04:04.204 --> 01:04:08.884
<v Doc>of the browser and the graphics and all of that http protocol it takes a little
01:04:08.884 --> 01:04:13.484
<v Doc>bit longer blip uses something that's known as nttp protocol it doesn't have
01:04:13.484 --> 01:04:15.124
<v Doc>any imagery is just raw numbers.
01:04:15.624 --> 01:04:20.164
<v Doc>So when you don't prettify the packets, it's quicker. So it just flies.
01:04:20.404 --> 01:04:24.584
<v Doc>It absolutely flies. Oh my God, it's so good. So go ahead and check out Blip.
01:04:24.744 --> 01:04:26.864
<v Doc>Not sponsored, but dope AF nonetheless.
01:04:27.564 --> 01:04:31.484
<v Doc>Autofocus. That's what AF means, autofocus. I forgot there's an Ecamm show.
01:04:35.484 --> 01:04:38.324
<v Doc>Matt said that's blipping awesome.
01:04:38.784 --> 01:04:45.244
<v Doc>See, he got the power of Madman and the jokes of Robin. Ha ha ha ha.
01:04:47.434 --> 01:04:51.494
<v Doc>Holy blipping, Batman. Wait, holy blipping, Batman.
01:04:53.434 --> 01:04:57.294
<v Doc>Oh, camp is going to be so fun. I'm buying this dude a cape and some glasses.
01:04:57.594 --> 01:05:00.694
<v Doc>We're going to have Matt walking around with a cape the whole time at camp.
01:05:01.634 --> 01:05:05.294
<v Doc>Wait, Paul, you need to throw up a link for camp just because y'all still got
01:05:05.294 --> 01:05:07.134
<v Doc>time to sign up. But y'all got a lot of time.
01:05:07.274 --> 01:05:10.314
<v Doc>Y'all need to stop clowning because I want to hear it. Nobody told me about
01:05:10.314 --> 01:05:12.054
<v Doc>camp. It seems so much fun.
01:05:12.274 --> 01:05:15.054
<v Doc>I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.
01:05:15.054 --> 01:05:22.354
<v Luis>And if Paul could drop the link to Daniel's course for live producers,
01:05:22.354 --> 01:05:26.914
<v Luis>because he just did it and you have availability to watch the replay.
01:05:27.134 --> 01:05:32.374
<v Luis>So that's something else that's also good. If you're looking to start being
01:05:32.374 --> 01:05:35.654
<v Luis>a remote producer for somebody else and you're looking to get into this,
01:05:35.754 --> 01:05:36.894
<v Luis>something good to check out.
01:05:37.134 --> 01:05:40.374
<v Doc>There you go. There you go. There you have it.
01:05:40.574 --> 01:05:45.314
<v Doc>Family, thank you for watching the flow. And you know what we say around here.
01:05:45.594 --> 01:05:49.114
<v Doc>I just, I answered you, Aaron. It only moves media. It does not cloud storage.
01:05:49.514 --> 01:05:53.514
<v Doc>So that's why it's free. Because otherwise it would be costly.
01:05:53.914 --> 01:05:57.474
<v Doc>But yeah, thank you guys for coming through. I appreciate all,
01:05:57.694 --> 01:06:02.394
<v Doc>all, all of the times you guys show up and help us, help you, help yourself.
01:06:04.354 --> 01:06:08.374
<v Doc>It sounded good for like a half a second. And then it just went all the way off the tracks.
01:06:09.474 --> 01:06:13.714
<v Doc>Thank you guys. You know what we say around here? Flow writers! Out!
01:06:14.640 --> 01:06:37.133
<v Music>
