It's not perfect, since I was doing everything myself, but I'm pretty proud of it! 1) I had to cut away from the kid to Tyler's line about Kandahar because I saying the kid's last line again since I THOUGHT there was a cut, so I couldn't keep the angle on him. 2) Then, on Tyler's last angle, I didn't have the closeup they did (by pushing in on a dolly, presumably) since I did every shot on a tripod, and I didn't want to zoom in on the angle I had that matched because my eye light on Tyler was awful, so I used the best angle for the performance, rather than match the visual. that was my little actor conceit. :-) ~Trav ~~~~

THIS was a tough one. I saw "Extraction" while I was living in Japan and loved this still, quiet scene so much when I saw it that I wanted to recreate it. It's the HARDEST thing I've ever shot by myself. There were something like 4 different angles per character, plus I had to grow out my beard (remember THAT video??) and then shave between setups. The lighting is ok, but I really am disappointed that I didn't give myself an eye light when I was playing Tyler. You can't see what's going on there at all.
A COUPLE NOTES: I flipped the original scene horizontally because if I shot it as it was in the original, my Bells Palsy side would have been lit, and nobody wants that.
Also, the shot of Tyler being most emotional I used a take that didn't match the original, as you'll see in the side-by-side comparison I'll post tomorrow. ~~~~

End screen music by Mike Barnett, used with permission ~~~~ So I stopped at a Jack in the Box on the way here. And the girl behind the counter said, “Hiya! Are you having an awesome day!” Not, “How are you doing today?” No. “Are you having an awesome day?” Which is pretty shitty because it puts the onus on me to disagree with her, like if I’m not having an “awesome day” suddenly I’m the negative one.
Usually when people ask how I’m doing, the real answer is I’m doing shitty, but I can’t say I’m doing shitty because I don’t have a good reason to be doing shitty. So if I say, “I’m doing shitty,” then they say, “why? What’s wrong?” And I have to be like, “I don’t know, all of it?” So instead when people ask how I’m doing, I usually say, “I am doing so great.”
But when this girl at the Jack in the Box asked me if I was having an awesome day, I thought, well, today I’m actually allowed to feel shitty. Today I have a good reason. So I said to her, “Well, my mom died.” And she immediately burst into tears. So now I have to comfort her, which is annoying, and meanwhile there’s a line of people forming behind me, who are all giving me these real judgy looks because I made the Jack in the Box girl cry. And she’s bawling, and she’s saying, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” and I’m like, “it’s fine. It’s fine. I mean, it’s not fine, but, you know, it’s...fine. And I would like to order a Double Jack Meal, and I’ve kind of got somewhere to be, so maybe less with the crying and more with the frying, huh?” And the girl apologizes, again, and she offers me a free churro with my meal. And as I’m leaving, I think, “I just got a free churro because my mom died.”
No one ever tells you when your mom dies, you get a free churro. ~~~~

I always thought it was odd that I got flack for not being "gay enough" in my content, while other Youtubers like Michael Buckley and Tyler Oakley would be criticized for being "too gay." So I wrote a sketch about it and put Sia in it. :-)
