WEBVTT

00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:00.971
SPEAKER: All right.

00:00:00.971 --> 00:00:06.840
So day two-- yeah, a
lot happened today.

00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:10.630
So we had the sixth graders
come in and critique our ideas.

00:00:10.630 --> 00:00:13.296
And I'd say the main
thing that came out

00:00:13.296 --> 00:00:18.670
of that was I realized a lot
about what I wanted to do.

00:00:18.670 --> 00:00:20.785
Kind of the moment
that you said,

00:00:20.785 --> 00:00:23.160
you're going to have to tell
your ideas to sixth graders,

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.900
I had this dread because
I knew my main idea just

00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:29.510
wasn't somewhere that was going
to be of any interest to them.

00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:34.240
And talking to them,
it wasn't just at all.

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.830
There was nothing that
interested them at all.

00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:40.090
And I know it's part
of the issue of framing

00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:41.190
and the issue's so big.

00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:43.970
And I didn't have a
narrative that made it better

00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:47.400
and this contrasts one
of my backup ideas.

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:51.930
The nuggets was something I
did this past semester on how

00:00:51.930 --> 00:00:56.660
to find magma
chambers underground,

00:00:56.660 --> 00:01:02.240
which is really cool
and yeah-- but honestly

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.410
wasn't what I wanted
to do a video on.

00:01:05.410 --> 00:01:08.270
And so I'm not exactly
sure what I'm doing yet

00:01:08.270 --> 00:01:12.160
but I think I'm going to stick
with the decomposition of food.

00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.840
I'm going to make it-- I think
that it has a lot of potential,

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.330
especially once you get
to the visual aspect

00:01:18.330 --> 00:01:20.670
because there are
a lot of people

00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:24.700
who look at these videos
of McDonald's decomposing

00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:31.310
or I think-- there's just a
lot of really high-quality film

00:01:31.310 --> 00:01:33.530
time lapses of things
decomposing on YouTube

00:01:33.530 --> 00:01:36.510
but there's not an
explanation or anything.

00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:38.920
And I think that's why
there's room for it.

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.420
And if I really work
on how to do it,

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:44.040
I think I can make
a good video out

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.380
of decomposition and rotting.

00:01:47.380 --> 00:01:50.372
But it definitely
caught me off guard

00:01:50.372 --> 00:01:52.830
when they said we're going to
have to talk to sixth graders

00:01:52.830 --> 00:01:55.880
because that really just
made me realize that it's

00:01:55.880 --> 00:02:01.210
very important what we want
to do here to make something.

00:02:01.210 --> 00:02:06.900
And that something-- it's
going to be geared to a very

00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:09.410
different audience than myself.

00:02:09.410 --> 00:02:13.840
I would be probably OK watching
an educational video about all

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.020
of the ways decomposition
and the specifics

00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:23.670
but I guess that's
not for everyone

00:02:23.670 --> 00:02:25.290
in the most basic sense.

00:02:25.290 --> 00:02:29.456
So you have to pitch
it in a way and I'll

00:02:29.456 --> 00:02:30.860
have figure out how to do that.

00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:35.050
So yeah, that was today.

00:02:35.050 --> 00:02:39.710
I thought that Natalie's
Intelius talk was actually

00:02:39.710 --> 00:02:43.360
really interesting
because like you said,

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.220
she talked about a
lot of the mistakes

00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:49.910
she made and I can see how some
of those might come up for me.

00:02:49.910 --> 00:02:52.600
And aside from the
fact that Parabola just

00:02:52.600 --> 00:02:54.350
seems like something
awesome that actually

00:02:54.350 --> 00:02:56.400
one of my teachers are
in touch with still

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.320
and they're probably
forwarding along to him

00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:00.945
because he's always looking for
cool things to do in the class.

00:03:00.945 --> 00:03:06.960
But yeah, all in all, a
pretty good day-- lots of work

00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.540
to do on my script
since I have no script.

00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:12.250
So yeah, bye.
