So let's take a look at factoring quadratic expressions. Before we go too much further, we'll start out by observing that factoring is the hardest easy problem in mathematics. It's easy to explain what the problem is, but often it's very difficult to actually solve the problem. Now, your prior experience with factoring suggests that this might not be true, but the reality is it only seems easy, because we've only ever asked to solve easy problems. So you might have been asked to do something like factor 12, and you've never been asked to do something much harder, like factor 3,891. And that means that in general, trying to factor something is hard, and so we'll try to make it a little bit easier. To keep things simple, we'll limit ourselves to rational factors, polynomial factors whose coefficients are rational numbers. So if we write x squared minus 4 equals x minus 2 times x plus 2, this is a factorization, and all of its factors have rational coefficients. Likewise, 6x squared minus 5x plus 1 can be written as 6 times x minus 1-3 times x minus 1-2, this is a factorization, and all of our factors have rational coefficients. x squared minus 2 can be written as x minus square root 2 times x plus square root 2. Well, this is a factorization, but the factors do not have rational coefficients. If a polynomial can be written as a product of rational factors, we say it is factorable. So these two are factorable. Otherwise, we say that the polynomial is unfactorable. So this is a factorization, but it's not a rational factorization, and so this is unfactorable. Well, maybe. Maybe we just haven't found the factorization. So let's think about this a little bit. Suppose we could write a quadratic expression as a product of two linear factors. So x squared plus bx plus c, maybe I can write that as x minus p times x minus q. With that in mind, let's consider the equation x squared plus bx plus c equals 0. How would we solve this type of equation? Well, equals means replaceable. If x squared plus bx plus c is equal to x minus p times x minus q, then every place I see x squared plus bx plus c, I can replace it with x minus p times x minus q. So I can change my equation into a different equation, and now the equation is in the form product equals 0. And I know that if I have two things that multiply to 0, one of them has to be 0. So either x minus p is 0 or x minus q is 0. Well, I can solve both equations, and I get the solutions x equals p, x equals q. And the thing to notice here is that our solutions, x equals p, x equals q, correspond to the factors x minus p, x minus q. And so this is an example of what's known as the root theorem. Let x be any polynomial in x. If x equals a is a solution to polynomial equals 0, then x minus a is a factor of our polynomial. So let's say we want to factor x squared minus x minus 12. So the root theorem guarantees that if I can solve polynomial equal to 0, I can factor. So to find the factors, we'll solve the equation x squared minus x minus 12 equals 0. If only we had a good way to solve any quadratic equation we were confronted with, oh, wait a minute. Since this is a quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula. So we'll substitute the values of our coefficients into the quadratic formula. And when we evaluate the quadratic formula, we'll have our solutions. x equals 4 or x equals negative 3. If it's not written down, it didn't happen. So let's summarize our results. The solutions to x squared minus x minus 12 equals 0 are x equals 4 or x equals negative 3. So two factors are x minus 4 or x minus negative 3. Or maybe we don't like that minus a negative. We could say the factors are x minus 4 or x plus 3. Now in general, the root theorem will give us some factors. But we want all factors. So let's think about that a little bit more. In x squared minus x minus 12, we found two factors, x minus 4 and x plus 3. Since x squared minus x minus 12 is a second degree polynomial, it can only have two linear factors. And what this suggests is that x squared minus x minus 12 has to be x minus 4 times x plus 3. And if we multiply out the right-hand side, we can verify that this is in fact true. And we have factored x squared minus x minus 12. And this gives us a good way to factor quadratic expressions. So let's factor x squared minus 9x plus 20. To find the factors, we'll solve the equation x squared minus 9x plus 20 equals 0. So we'll use the quadratic formula, which gives us the solutions 5 or 4. And so the factors of x squared minus 9x plus 20 are x minus 5 and x minus 4. And so we can write our polynomial as a product. There's one very important idea to keep in mind, which appears with the factorization of something like 6x squared minus 5x minus 6. So we find our equation 6x squared minus 5x minus 6 equals 0 has solutions, x equals 3 halves, or x equals minus 2 thirds. And as before, we might write down our factors, x minus 3 halves, x minus negative x plus 2 thirds. But this is wrong. The problem is that when we expand x minus 3 halves times x plus 2 thirds, the very first thing we get is an x squared, but we want to get a 6x squared. So what can we do? Well, here it's useful to keep in mind an important idea. It doesn't matter what you write down first, fix things as you go along. And so the problem here is that I get an x squared, but I want a 6x squared. And so we can fix this by including a factor of 6. So in our factorization, we'll want to include that factor of 6, and that fixes our problem. Now, of course, I've had many years of experience in doing factorization, so I was able to come up with this factor of 6 very quickly and very easily, if only there are some easy and obvious ways of figuring out where that factor of 6 comes from. Well, actually, there is. When we find our factors this way, we always get factors in the form x minus something or x plus something, which means that when we expand, we always get an x squared as our leading coefficient. So if we want an x squared as our leading coefficient, we're done. If we want anything else, we'll have to include a factor that's equal to our leading coefficient. So let's say I want to factor 2x squared minus 15x plus 18. We'll begin by solving 2x squared minus 15x plus 18 equals 0. So we'll drop that into the quadratic formula. We'll get solutions of 6 or 3 halves, which says that we have factors x minus 6x minus 3 halves. But since I want a leading coefficient of 2, I'll need to include a factor of 2 as well.


Good morning, John. It's Wednesday. What am I doing here? It's Wednesday. That's not how this works. It's weird. Okay, it's gonna get weirder. John, you know that I love documentary films, and I know that you do because we're nerds. But I think they have a problem because we're busy. Not just with work and stuff, but with all of the distractions that I'm gesturing toward my computer right now. There's a giant crisis looming around every corner, and if we don't want to look at that, and we want to look at like cute or funny stuff, there's always a place to go look for that. You can do that really fast and have like a 15 second thing, or a 15 minute thing, and documentaries though, they're long. They're often much more slowly paced than a lot of our media these days, which is like, ah, I gotta be doing stuff all the time. Even if it is like a really efficient way to learn something, we don't feel like it is. They're one of the most effective tools for giving us insight into our humanity and into the lives of other people or other animals. Documentary film is fantastic, but more and more I feel like there isn't a good place for it. There's not a good like, okay, it's time now to have this kind of experience, which is why we were pretty excited when YouTube Red came to us and were like, we have this idea. They had recently acquired the rights to this new award-winning documentary that everybody's talking about, and they wanted to make it available to YouTube Red subscribers. But YouTube is weird.  You can't just create a new channel every time you have a new documentary. So they asked us to watch the documentary, which we did, and we both loved it, and then if we did like it, maybe we could talk about it on the vlogbrothers channel and then upload it here for YouTube Red subscribers. Now I am aware that not everybody has YouTube Red or can get YouTube Red, though there is a free trial available right now. It's only available in some countries, and not everybody has 10 bucks a month to spare. I understand that. But if you do, the film is either now available or will very shortly be available on the vlogbrothers channel. It's really good. It's got like a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a good thing. It's a movie about street cats in Istanbul. It turns out that Istanbul has a really interesting relationship with its cats. They're cared for by the humans of Istanbul, but they don't tend to be owned by any one person. Look, I'm a cat person, and there's something magical about them.  Because that's one of the great services that cats provide. They get in your way. They say, hey, stop what you're doing. Me, I'm beautiful and soft.  They lead by example, showing us that it is okay to sometimes just exist. And that is what this film, which Variety called quietly magical, asks of us to just exist for a little while. I was able to spend a little bit of time talking to the makers of this film, Sada Twerun and Charlie Wepperman. And Sada said something in that chat that I thought was really lovely and poignant, that the relationship between people and cats is one of the only relationship for the other species that people don't dominate. Cats exist with people of their own accord, you know? And looking at myself through a cat's eyes gives me a perspective that I think is really hard to find other ways, and I think that it's really well discovered and shared in this movie. I hope that everybody who can will join me in watching this film. John, you will see me for my regularly scheduled video on Friday.


Heidi, what is this? It's a voiceover. I feel like I haven't done voiceovers in ages. So it's that time of year where all my voiceover videos are probably gonna start coming out pretty frequently. So I have my Cedar Fair prediction video and Six Flags prediction video coming out next week. Hopefully fingers crossed, I am so far behind on content. I have probably like a hundred videos that could be released on my laptop, ready to go of various things. It's crazy. I've never had this much content in my life, but it's absolutely amazing. I am so sorry I'm falling behind. Greg and I have just been filming things left, right, and center, and certain videos obviously have to go out before others, even if they're kind of boring videos or something that not everyone on this channel wants to watch. But some exciting news. We are gonna be at Great Adventure next weekend. So Sunday, the 28th, Monday, the 29th, and then we're going to Hershey Park on the 30th. I couldn't be more excited. That's gonna be an amazing trip. And Kenny Wood on August 6th. So for those of you who have been like, why are you only at Canada's Wonderland? There are a ton of parks coming up and a ton of content. And we will release that as soon as we film it pretty much. So don't worry, there is some various content coming, but that's not why you're here. You're here to learn about what is this video? Why did we randomly post this video? What does it mean? What am I trying to get at? And I'm gonna explain. So Timber Wolf Escape is not the name of our new attraction. That is just something that I've heard before and I think it fits well, but it is not a confirmed name. Don't worry, if you don't like it, it's not a confirmed name, it's just a name. But what is Timber Wolf Escape? Why is there a mock double launch right next to Yukon Stryker? And why is the year 2021 in the thumbnail? Well, I'm here to talk about a couple of those things mentioned. So Timber Wolf Escape is a mock double launch that Eastern thrills or Inside Great Adventure on Instagram created and the station by Ryan Roller Coaster on Instagram. It is kind of what I think is coming to Canada's Wonderland next. It's one of two options that are coming next. It's either gonna be a Wing Coaster or a mock double launch. And personally I think a mock double launch is probably already purchased and sitting and waiting to be built. There's a couple of reasons why and we have some confirmed reasons. So a lot of you know my video that I made a while back about Yukon Stryker being delayed and Val Raven took our place, our Coaster year and that is confirmed. It is true, it has been confirmed by the park. 2016 Yukon Stryker was supposed to be built. So if you look at the equation for Canada's Wonderland, Canada's Wonderland's supposed to get a Coaster about every two years. It looks like we fluctuate from a big Coaster and then they go to a smaller Coaster.  So yes, this is not coming in 2021, I'm sorry. Maybe, I mean, there are a couple of reasons that someone could argue. So again, we were delayed.  We also know that Canada's Wonderland is outperforming expectations this season. So I can't wait for you guys to hear the stockholders' call because it's some really exciting news. Canada's Wonderland is outperforming in a lot of categories, fast lane sales, sales in general, out of town visits and the average guest visit on their season pass. However you want to word that. They're outperforming in every category and that's a good sign. That is what companies look for when they're investing in a part.  That is essentially what pays off a coaster and we do know that Canada's Wonderland is typically that part that pays off coasters and we know that Canada's Wonderland needs investments. It is one of those paramount parks that was neglected. Again, not Cedar Fair's fault. They are doing absolutely amazing. UConn Stryker is a huge hit, but it's one of those parks that needs investments and it needs investments now. The farm fields just north of the park are being sold and turned into massive subdivisions. So you're gonna have a huge influx of guests over the next five to 10 years coming to this park and this chain needs to invest in this park's infrastructure and lineup to better account for those increase in attendance that's about to come through those gates. So a mock double launch is perfect. It has a really low height requirement and this park is one of those parks that needs rides that have lower height requirements. We're not gonna be that park that builds the top fill dragster or the insane world record Intamin coasters. We're gonna be that park that builds stuff like this. You know, those mock family launch coasters, maybe even a mock family spinning coaster. So again, it could be a mock family spinning coaster similar to Silver Dollar City that we could be seeing. It's definitely gonna be mock in my opinion as our next coaster and I think Timber Wolf is on the chopping block and I think that would complete Frontier Canada. Again, I don't think Minebuster is going to be RMC'd anymore. I know I used to think that but I think it sits in the way of a lot of land for a Splashworks expansion and I think a Splashworks expansion is very close in our future and that's just something that they'll either choose to keep as a wooden coaster and build around or they're going to bulldoze it and use it as a Splashworks expansion. But yes, nonetheless, 2021 is either going to be a small family coaster or kid coaster in Planet Snoopy or it could very well be a mock double launch or a coaster depending on how Cedar Fair is looking at the investments. Typically if you build something like Yukon Stryker you can sit on yourself for one to two to three years without having to reinvest in something. But again, this is a park and we know that that is in line for expansions and investments for multitude of reasons. They're very well aware that there are a ton of people moving into the park. Again, every time we speak to park officials this is something that comes up. The park is increasing in attendance and they need to build infrastructure and rides and attractions to better account for those number increases. So I definitely want to hear from you guys. What do you think could possibly be coming to Canada's Wonderland in 2021 or 2023? Those are the two years that you're going to be wanting to look at for a coaster. Again, the proof is in the pudding. It seems to be every two years Wonderland gets some sort of coaster and they usually go from a big coaster to a smaller family friendly coaster. I do know from speaking to park officials as well that Canada's Wonderland is going to be one of those parks going after world records moving forward. So that does help figure a few things out. Anyways, hope you really enjoyed this video on what I think could be coming to Canada's Wonderland and hopefully this helped answer a few questions. If you still have questions about the future at Canada's Wonderland, comment down below. I will try and respond and answer everyone's questions. Thanks for watching guys. Hopefully you had an amazing weekend. Bye.


Yet another Blender conference. So excited My name is Rik Schutte. I'm the lead animator at the Blender studio I started working at Blender during the production of Sprite Frite and Had the privilege to direct the latest open movie called Wing It, which is amazing But for today's talk, I would love to dive into facial animation We'll go over some of the fundamental rules guidelines in theory But I want to jump into Blender as soon as possible But just to give you guys some some context on on what to keep in mind when starting to animate a face So facial animation talk about structure motion appeal First look at that beautiful drawing Facial structure Obviously we have to take an account the skull and this really depends on what kind of style you're working with if you work on a project That's very cartoony get more liberty With with squash and stretch with deformation or if you're animating a squid, you know But when you work with more realistic animation, it's very important to keep in mind that there is a skull So also for the rigors out here, whenever you animate Sorry rig a brow, for example That it actually slides and this is fancy I know but slides over the skull itself and Maintains the the structure of of the actual bones underneath On top of that we have the muscles and the facial muscles All have fancy Latin names and we don't go too deep into that But the most important thing is that these muscles are that you know kind of how they work and also Are aware that they work together Muscles tend to pull They all pull For example the frontalis the big brown muscle it pulls it up But as you can see the angle of that big muscle is slightly tilted This means that whenever you animate a brow it not it's not going straight down, but it always goes in this Angle and it's not working on its own. It's working together with the Corrigator, which is the part that goes in and make a beautiful frown There's the orbicularis oculi Which is basically the big ring muscle around the eyes and when you work with a very realistic Rig it's when you squint your eyes. It's not only squinting up and down, but it's also squinting inwards now Those let's go down a little bit the corrugator These two guys they work together with the Leviter lobby superior is a lick Nasi So some scientists wanted his whole family there, but so these these muscles wanted to These muscles are actually connected to the Let's call it leviter, okay to the leviter so the corrugator if you put your fingers here and you snare you actually feel them pull Down and this is something to that. It's really trying to find those connections and Emulate that once you start posing and animating your face Well, these kind of things I'm not going over all of them one of them is the jaws the mass eater eating mass and Yeah, so so just to cover that keep in mind when animating to have a bit of an anatomical Context of what you're animating if you're animating a squid it might be different, but In animation language, we mostly talk about just the eye mask and the mouth And keep that consistent, but underneath that is the facial structure So when we raise one brow up the actual corrugator also fires a part of the other brow, which means that we get this connected shape on top of the Muscles is the fat and volume is something that we need to take in account as well, which is Volume retention in that sense. So when we smile We the the lips spread and get thinner when we push them in we get the volume never goes away So we want to emulate that As well and the same goes for the cheek when we smile it pushes up the The the cheeks and the eyes will be influenced It's pushing up everything and that's how you connect the the mouth with a smile a smile expression to the eyes when you have It depends on the the let's say the fat percentage of your character if you have a more skinny character That's older It tends to translate into creases and hopefully that's all built into your rig Otherwise you have to sculpt everything yourself That is those those three things are important to taking account when you talk about the anatomy anatomy of the face So let's talk a bit about the face and I Have to manually look this. Okay. Let's talk about the eyes. I was saying the eyes Quickest muscle in a body Generally animate on one frame like a dart One or two frame movements When you go slower than that it starts to become very floaty and it's hard for people to recognize Where where a character is looking at for example? So I start even if I go from up to down slowly it will always stagger it's always trying to focus on Yeah, the steps in between Unless we're tracking a moving object Now one thing to keep in mind also is something I try to Point out with this test when the the eye is looking left and right let the eye is not perfectly round It's always have this bulge on the part of the iris and when we move that around the eyelids are also shaping towards that So if the eye looks left the shape of the eye Changes and this also adds to the appeal of of a character animation and I direction is always a tricky one especially When you look at through the camera It is always in kind of an optical illusion. You try to pose the eyes Even though physically they're not exactly looking at it. It's always something to Graphically pose so they look at the right target and not be wall-eyed or cross-eyed Browse can be quick slower than the eyes Usually between three to ten frame range between expression changes The inner part always moves more than the outer parts. That's where the Muscle structure comes back like these muscles are these strings are shorter than the inner part and The brows are a big part of any expression and They're very delicate a little bit of change on the inner brow Curling them up already gets this more worried Expression and that's something to To really be careful about Then the mouth is I'm really covering the in it in a nutshell because I want to jump into Blender, but just to give you a bit of Inside here insides Lip sync can be fast and blend between phonemes. We don't have to say every phoneme Because that becomes very chattery and that's not how we tend to talk we always blend in between phonemes a Couple of them the M the B and the P. They always need a bit more attention. They also I Always tend to Hook up the lip sync to these phonemes because they are very Poppy and very distinct out of other phonemes so They at least need two frames to be able to read them but also need a bit of preparation before you actually hear the sound you need to close the mouth and then Have that Sound hit the right the right audio the right time So let's talk a bit about appeal. It's not Attractive like appealing is not attractive. It's more about readability about Creating a more dynamic pose so you can even have a ugly character, but still be appealing It's really about conveying that character in that moment and trying to pose it in a way that it feels believable, but also Communicates the right so it's more like aligning with the character itself a symmetry symmetry and easy symmetry Symmetry is generally Something that will happen with involuntary expressions, which means scare or being angry. That's always more similar symmetrical As for if you want to impress somebody you want to raise one eyebrow up It becomes more voluntary and therefore we we have more Yeah flexibility with with the expression so Creating a bit of offset and there's connectivity So when we open up the mouth even with cartoony characters like the cat We have a big mouth and it it's the illusion of pushing up the eyelids of the cat on the side and creating this this Line of action which has been drawn on the upper the alley character Trying to create extra support for for the storytelling Let's start animating Okay so I would love to go back in time and open up the Spring rig and the reason for that I have a couple of reasons one of them is when I saw spring for the first time I was really inspired by the Blender team and it got me, you know starting to open up lender and trying things out It really felt like a high-end character No, I was that I always thought like if there's a chance to to play with it I would love to to try it and now it's the time So we open up the rig Another reason for it and let me zoom in a little bit here As you can see it has a lot of bones It is what somewhat older rig somewhat older techniques But I think it's fun to to jump into a rig like this because you're not always working with the beautiful Disney Pre-shaped rigs this rig takes a bit more manual labor that To to make it appealing With that said I'm working in blender 4.1 and with that version. There is a new Body oh, sorry body a new bone collection system and with that it's and I'm not familiar with the older bone layer system, but in this version I can easily add new layers and have them turned on and off very Yeah easily now This character For the use of of of making my shot I did modify it quite a bit. I found the Yeah, the proportion of the eyes a bit too big, but that's a great thing with a very flexible rig you're actually able to Shape the eyes and this is all used by controls to to get a new character basically and having fun with that for for any animation test. So I am I am Only using the main bones for blocking this and the first thing what I try when when When exploring a character is To try a couple of extreme expressions just to see where are the bones at and what can I do with it? So Let's jump in here and I want to Secondary, okay. So this is usually what I use for blocking for blocking my My poses and the first thing I try is a squint so Actually, I'm now not I'm also using My secondary bones just because I need that for my expression So remember that a squint for example is not only the eyebrows. It's not only the eyes It's also the mouth and it's all pushing that together So one thing regarding closing the eyes When we close the eyes and we get this you shape it always tends to translate as relaxed It's like at peace or sleeping dreaming, but when we refer that curve Get a bit more like this it becomes more intense or worried or you know closing your eyes because Of a bad monster approaching you So that's something I want to because especially with the squint I want to create that reverse curve to emphasize the pressure being put on on the face mask, so I Tend to mainly use the the bigger bones first and this is something where you can see the Let me double-check Orientation yet set to local the orientation of the bone is straight down if I would give feedback to the rigor I would say let's tilt it already. So it's easier. It gives me already that muscle muscular angle that we covered earlier but Some some manual labor going on here. It's all fine And as you can see as I rotate the eyebrow there some Shape key being triggered. You see that there is a bit of deformation happening on the inner I'm pushing it down here right around there and These guys is the corrugator Fires more inwards now I Cannot go too far with it as you can see the rotation of this bone is a bit Yeah, so so but we'll work with it and first quints Anytime there's pressure. I want to work with quick shapes. So no Curvy shapes that always tends to look more Relaxed or distorted. So really try to to pose it so it's instantly reading as a as a squint here So this one up a little bit that and Then I believe if I scale this in X I get a bit of Not much but get a bit of that frown lines in there. I Just figured out yesterday. It was a thing And then I'll move on to the cheeks Down here Now if you work with more advanced rigs, you would also get an eye socket control which Controls the actual outer line of your or yeah, the of your eye socket to be able to shape that as well Luckily, I don't have to Pushing this up a little bit. Okay. Now for the mouth. It has a little bit of an interesting take on it It has all things combined into one bone. So if I move this around it's actually Opening but even rotating so it's it's an interesting setup, but let's try to create that So again, it's very important when you start with a new rig to Explore it see what the controls do because every week is different unless you work at a studio for a long time You get the same like setup, but And I don't it's fun. It's fun to explore rigs to see what they're capable of push in lips a little bit and what I also want to do is add a bit of Bulge Okay, then there's this main bone. I always love this one. This one kind of like moves the whole thing around I can Up even further, but it will also influence a little bit of the of the nose And this is kind of like Finding the balance with the style that you're working in I would say this is a structured like anatomical cracked character But quite stylized so I am able to push those Yeah, those those elements like pushing the nose up a little bit even though there is a bone, right or like hard structure and Then there are these inner bones And then obviously there's some more that one Trying to this is actually not the right bone, but Anyway, I already got them made I Made a bunch of poses for the post library and let's see what I how far I got Yeah, so that's way more pushed. You can see This one is from the new post library also in blender for I believe so pushing it even further get that refer shape on the on the eyebrows and Creating a bit more bulge even I think I even moved the yeah and Really try to to Support with with the squash and stretch of the of the face to to to Yeah Get the expression as much as possible And the great thing with the post library and that's what I'm about to show next is just that you're able to slide in Some of these things and even being able to when you have your selection sets made which I did Select only the browse for example, and I want to dial in a little bit of You know So that's something that I heavily would recommend when you work on on any animation project To get a post library because that gives the animator Jumping start jump start to start combining poses together and quickly get to something that Already looks appealing and as it has been approved by the director these expressions would be something to to get bound by and and have And not worried about the tiny little controls that Yeah, that could go easily off model. Let's say So bunch of these as well So what I want to do now Is Well first off, let me quickly this has been brought up by the actual the blender Animation team At the dailies last week. There was this one shot in in spring in spring. Let me actually open up the still of it There yeah They had been struggling with the shots quite a bit to get the smile working and the the face working and it always felt a bit Off even though I look I like the shot and I didn't even notice it the first time One thing to notice when you have a character in a relaxed state is to have the upper eyelids rest on top of the iris that always gives it a More relaxed state if if you have more eye whites around it It will become more intense. So even when you smile it becomes like I'm on Red Bull, which I'm actually But that's where a Smile gets more relaxed. So that's something to to take in account and again with with with the original design It has those big eyes. So it's quite Something that needs to be covered from one expression to another. That's also a reason why I modified it a little bit Where are we 3d viewport? Okay, so what are we about to do? Let me play it and I already made some some marks in here for the timing So we don't have to spend too much time on it. What I want to do is have the character react to a Suzanne hat popping out of the box But what is important when animating a face and animating a character is to show every little process that goes in In the mind of of a character that means that sub beats are very important before that a character does an action You actually do some internal thinking before you Decide or the character decide to do something. So I want to create that sub beat in there So I want to first let her do something else a character To keep keep it alive, it's actually doing something else So she will be looking on her phone screen right and then when the box comes up something in there in The corner of her eye comes up. So she noticed it then the thing comes out.  So that's what we're trying to do here I have to keep track of the time. So first off, let me go back to Fault here And I'll pose so also for the body. I only turn on the bones that I want and By default, I want to relax those shoulders a little bit turn around Oh For these shots I always and this is a personal charge maybe but I don't want to counter animate on every single motion Your head is kind of like a gimbal. So I want to keep full control over that and that to not counter animate every single adjustment that I do So looking down I was I want to see a little bit of the neck here just to get the silhouette right, maybe do a bit of chest as well This Something like that Just key all my bones. I'm a messy here. I Don't organize my keys. I like Monica's when I opened up your shot on sprite, right? It was collared and everything or I was like, oh my gosh Okay, so moving these eyes down That's and maybe because it's something closer. I tend to just get a bit of cross-eye in there So it's yeah, the closer you look and Then adjusting the eyelids to it so we get a bit more of a relaxed Look to it and she's looking at Instagram and she's smiling a little bit there now with the smile Whenever you move your corners Your lips are actually translating a lot over your Over your teeth. It's it's never like and that's a thing you need to connect the whole mouth to a smile So whenever I do this, this is always looking a bit strange. So whenever I post it and I This Sorry, I can only do one thing at a time. All right only animating so pushing it slightly up But also straighten out lips a bit and Then for the sake of asymmetry moving this now also these are free-floating bones and As an animator that's something One of the few things we want to lock But only if the the bone does Well, I don't want to go to technical but if it's connected to actual blend shapes it will maintain along the Along the the mesh which actually the more more modern rigs at Blender have But in order to create a little bit of a How do you call it a little bit of a gap to get get a bit of shadow on the on the On the corner there just pushing it in a little bit Okay Key a little bit Then comes up And I'll just put it with one pose and we'll in between and and caution it later I just work with the key poser right now, but I do take in account any overlap. So when I rotate the head I Don't do it on one axis. It's always a weird. We try to Rotate but also Open it up a little bit With that also I try to incorporate some of the body in there So when that's too much Let's scale that back shift e blend to neighbor just Tweaking that a little bit and then adjusting the eyes Now here becomes a tricky part because we need to give the illusion that she's looking at The thing that just popped up. I want to Just push this one over There's a bit of that but she just notices something and she doesn't know what it is. So it's not like Keeping that relaxed state will will open up her eyes There her lids a little bit here and as this my eyes would moved over I tend to just get that apex Adjusts a little bit there not too much because this character Especially with female characters their their eyes are quite delicate. They have this specific almond shape for this in this example for example in this example for example, it has the Yeah, very Let's say a Disney kind of way of opposing the eye. So you keep that structure More than you would do with more cartoony characters, for example and then just So we're looking over Well, I just the eyebrow so a little bit and then Okay, we'll revisit that one at least we got and then the thing pops up now with the reaction Timing is key You don't want to do it too quick if it's on the same time You either don't notice the pop of the of the the monkey coming out If you do it too late, it becomes fake, right? It's not a real reaction so generally I try to Maintain a delay of around six frames. That's where you know It enters the brain and it processes and it goes back to the the expression so When the thing pops up here, I tend to Roughly six frames before we do the big reaction and it will probably cushion a bit earlier into it But this is where we start to jump up. So We rotate their body and jump back a little bit actually not this way. I Want to keep her like this but really It's like a Initial reaction to cover cover your your body with your hand, right and and to move away from whatever is is scaring you so at least for me it's This arm and also great a bit of an angle to to the line of action. So her shoulders are pointing a little bit towards the Towards the monkey, but her face is fully engaged. So we rotate her face and Let's just dial in So one thing I always do when I create poses for post libraries I never include the eyes because you're always Working with the character you're blocking it out and then suddenly you want to apply a pose and it's like looking the other way Which is also Includes the hinge. You never include that into a pose because you want to maintain your actual body animation And I I lie most of the times. So that's what I don't include in there Full frame here and let me see if we As you can see since we were looking From the side and one eye is moving further away. The eyes are now looking wall eyes. So we have to correct this move one of them Here and then this guy. It's now actually looking a little bit past it So I'll just rotate the head a little bit So you see me looking for bones quite a bit. So I am very much looking forward to any bone picker And this will be my extreme And what I now try to do is get a bit of energy in the whole body. I want her to react There's an extreme and then a saddle. It's almost like a jump Like this. So that's what I try to block out in in the torso bone here, I'll just go a couple of frames past it and just Even back and then here. Okay. So now the mouth is quite I would say generic. It's there's no Directionality to it So let's design that a little bit and what I mean with it is just Giving it a little bit of an Angle And I'm fighting the bones here a little bit because I want to keep this straight line It's a it's a quite an intense expression anytime that it's curved. It becomes more relaxed so I want to Keep that tension going on. So that's why I want this these straight lines in there And on the other side, this is more of a 2d approach to it to create a more graphical shape. It's it's Faking faking Yeah How do you say a shape that only looks great from from the camera, which is Credit creating that reverse angle and as you can see I'm struggling to get this smooth Moving them back a little bit now teeth This also really depends on the show that you're a project you're working on I Worked at Sony image works and when you're working on a very cartoony show the teeth are also being heavily deformed one way of doing it is is Not having that straight line and it's actually complimenting your your Your mouth shape One of the reason one of the ways to do it. It's just whenever you have it I would say when you're rigging teeth get some extra bones in there for the animator so they can make nice Yeah, make nice mouth shapes with teeth included. So I'm just pushing down these corners a little bit.  It's kind of like the way I used to work still working So push these guys up. Oh, what did I do? Here So Scared Realization this is a subbeat before we start to you know get annoyed by Her little broader, you know annoying her So I want to be subtle with it and live within the facial pose, but do a slight adjustment to to the eyebrows So I select the eyebrows only and just dial in something from the angry face here and Probably in between we'll do a bit of eye darting like registering what just happened and Then the brows come in but that's that's a second pass of blocking I would say then on the Realization the face that's relaxed a little bit more because the realization is also oh, it's just a Prank this down and get a bit more aroundness back into Generally on the first pass I little things can be Notes for myself for later on if I put in that like root bone and just ski it like that It gives me like already some sense I know I'm gonna revisit it later and flesh it out more, but at least I have the scaffolding like set up There's a bit of and and we do the same thing with the body It's tends to relax a little bit and maybe turn back and then I want to Get into the response so Around here rotate back engaging There's no threat anymore and Really putting the the shoulders down. It's really like ha. Oh, I slipped in both. I want to rotate the hat the other way So it's always great to shoot reference But we don't have time to go into that. There will be a talk. I think later this afternoon regarding referencing Done by healthy, which is awesome For this this time frame, I think it's fine to just wing it Okay, so now I'm doing the same thing I do a combination of different faces that I already have Which is I mask which covers the eyebrows and the eyes together Actually just the eyes Jill But also and since since this is more of a Voluntary expression. It's really like communicating. I don't like this. We can go a bit more Asymmetrical so we push this one up a little bit and Make sure the eye line when she leans forward. It's also looking at posing eyelids with these kind of These kind of expressions I always have a rule of thumb to not go over half of the Iris because if you go too low, it becomes very sleepy it can work actually it's not bad, but No, I tend to like cover one-third and you get you get the right spot usually You get a bit of asymmetry here lower face And that's where the squint where I want to Okay So we're missing a beat here But so I'm gonna just key everything Post this on the saddle because what is in between I want a bit of Closing the eyes going up and then jump into it. It's really Almost like a sigh. It's like breathe in and then settle to it so And as you can see like having a post library It's so quick to try out these multiple ways of combining compress expressions. It's really It will help you later on and When you're working with a team of animators, it's even you know, it speeds up. What was I doing? I blend the rotation So I shift E which is my shortcut for plan to neighbor and then hit R and it will only blend the rotation So I get a bit of a and I think Yeah, I do the same thing. I just Want the gist of it?  I wish I had a pose for that as well, but hey can be only so lazy and Go I would say 80% and then bring it back a little bit of this I know this is these are things that I Don't really think about but it's It's probably a theory about it. Let's see from the beginning Okay, so now I'll Just innovate the root bone for this last section because I want to her to drift Into it a little bit and I will Say so we have We're almost on time are we almost out of time? Okay now Guys luckily I already did a pass on the shot So as you can see it's a bit different, but it's really trying to add those in-betweens and Change the timing on when she settles when the mouse settles and play with that. That's also something I want to do in In the blogging stage, it's that scaffolding that I want to flesh out later I don't want to figure out overlap and Change offsets later on I want to especially when I show to a director. I want to make sure that it's it's all there So this would be a Something Yeah, I would be happy with Okay, so that's about it quick thing can we do questions Who's in charge? Yeah, I have one more minute. So if there's anybody Nagging question charge. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yes, that's a good question. It's It is parallel to oh Yes, of course. So the question is when you ever you were animating a realistic character What rules who apply different from a character like this for example that deforming the teeth for a certain shape? So regarding that What I mentioned before it's more constrained to to attend anatomy so the skull is more important but also yeah, like the teeth and Hopefully the character will also be lit in a more realistic way So you get more ambient inclusion inside the mouth. So you have less of a Graphic shape that is needed But definitely you you will be more constrained and to the actual Yeah style of of rig that you're working with but with that rig for example the rigor also already put in those constraints So they work with blend shapes that only go so far that are based on on Scopes and that already is the canvas that we as animators can work with So that's that's a back-and-forth between either rigging or lighting and see what pops out. Yeah, I Think that's it


We are lo- Is it two o'clock already? Tis. Tis two. Tis two. So don't forget you gotta speak up but I'm going to be as awesome as possible at reminding you since we're on old school style videos on phone in and around the area. What's up y'all? Well we've got 34 right beyond I've been hand talking for quite a while as you know. So today we are going to put together another dust-free zone but we want to do it with you guys so you can see how we put it together, what we use. I've already linked everything in our amazon store which is down in the bottom in the description box. Just click on the amazon link and you can find out what we use if you just want it. If you want to buy it from there you can if you just want to see what it looks like it's cool. It's there. Judy! Thank you Sherry. I hope your surgery goes well Susan. ATD life Maggie. Oh thanks Sherry. I'm so excited that you're picking up A1 pigments. I have some in-house. I just haven't gotten a chance to review all of them yet. I'm sure they're bananas. Be on your way to study for your final. What's up? What's up? I have to dust free my entire house. Well it would be difficult for us since I'm on my phone. I can give you guys a little tour. This is our entryway for everybody that hasn't seen it. Artwork. Dust free racks. This is where Jeff airbrushes. This is where Mu is. Muwe. I'm sorry Mona. Bar. Super messy kitchen. Living room. Bedroom. And this is the area that you guys usually see. Hoodies. Just got some rounds in. This is the other side. This is where we're usually at. This is the paint stock that we've got in. Remarkably I'm still out of some colors. I don't know how. Debbie tell Lulu we said what's up. Kujo's inspecting the vacuum cleaner rounds. Back to doing important things. 2400. We're gonna go. We're just gonna kind of show you everything that we do to get ready for this. Just showing you how to. I'm gonna show you how to plastic on this. How to put together these shelves. They're super easy. All you need is a hammer. Literally that's it. But this is a wood. These are the little planks that come with these shelves. 24 by 48 pieces. We wanted to put the base together but we're gonna show you how to put the other stuff. It's the same as the rest of it. Hi Tia. Randy this place is dual zone for business and residential. So what's up. HDX plastic from Home Depot. You can order it on Amazon or go to Home Depot or Lowe's or three foot by 50 foot. I like using this three foot because it's literally it's only three foot wide but 50 feet long so when you when you want to measure something out you just measure it however long you need it and then you don't have a lot of excess if you get like the 10 foot bike I don't know higher foot rolls. What we normally get for the black the black tarps. Gotcha. This is just it saves you time saves you supplies. So I just cut it out put it on this board and this stuff resin will not stick to at all. Right resin doesn't stick to this. Just tape this put it to the edge there. Tape all these important spots down first a little over the edge so just in case resin does go over the edge. So you're not pulling this very tight. Yeah because you're you're not want to because then when you're over here this is where you're going to start.  It's already down just a little bit you know putting a lot of pressure on there. Hi Diane if you don't forget you got to talk up. No one said anything but just a reminder. There's also apparently some kind of contact paper that you can use that we're going to try out on another shelf. We ordered it hasn't gotten in yet. So you just stick it down. I think Tyvek has something similar as well. If you ever put a canvas together they tell you you know don't sit there and tack the canvas down left all the way around right all the way around you kind of do it in corners.  I mean you can do it sideways if you want. Make sure you have the good scotch tape this like this general purpose. Like tightening a drum. Yes. Yes it will this stuff does not stick well very this is good for like if you want to put stuff like if you're painting and you need to put a picture out the reference use this because it doesn't stick very well so it'll come off your wall real easy and and the reference photo. Senior helpers Jeff's preferred color kit is live on the website right now. There are only 10 of those. It's kind of one of those things where I just wanted to see what people thought you guys asked for it so and I know it's a lot easier for people that you know don't know what colors to get or just get frustrated looking at all the colors like I do so I would just rather we just want to go here just give me these and then next month we'll have a whole new set of colors. She actually hasn't put hers out yet so that will be out probably the next day or so so we'll have a another set of different colors maybe some tents. Hey y'all. I'm not really pulling really hard on this I'm just kind of you know get a good grip and pull it around the edge as you can see is slowly but surely tightening and all these little wrinkles are going away and the more you do that the more you get in these smaller areas it's just going to be super smooth. So I'm going to do it down here. Hi Nita. Yes senior helpers it's on the website I will find out what section it's under but it's on there if you search color club in the search bar on the website it should bring it up. I should do that to my face. There are people that tape their neck so that if they have like a saggy under their jaw I guess chin area they like take it and tape and pull it around and pinch right here. Is that what you're going to do? You're silly. Hi Lucy Amelian. Hi Sandy. My pleasure senior helpers. The more you do this the smoother it'll get. These pieces here these are kind of annoying you don't like it. Dora says I remember your old old dust-free zone you had a hole cut out so you could peek through instead of opening it. Yeah well this one we're going to put with um something velcro so he's just working his way around on opposite side so that not one side is pulled more than the other and this will work down your wrinkles all the way around. This is just how I do it you don't have to do that you can just put this down put one big piece of tape around it do that anyways I'll do these small ones. Yes France absolutely. I'm just making it all one. Hi Clara. Hi Jerry. I'll last you for a while as long as you as long as you keep taking your your excess you know your little drips if you have it on something we normally just put a flat down on here so that we don't get the drips you don't have to sand all that off you just have a little bit maybe a little runoff a little easier to do. Um France we're on the other side of our studio our filming areas around the corner. These are old. You can always tell where we film because it has this laminate flooring um I will check vamp you could skate on that plastic you might could. Hi Sherry. This is how this is what I use to do the melting the waterfall pour and it's always worth it doing this don't don't skimp on this just take the time and do it you'll be super happy that you do it this way we can lay the paintings down and just pick them up instead of having to work with all the drips always make sure your board is flat if you're using an old piece of wood sand those old resin dots down or even if it's a little bit up it'll make your canvas wobble which colors would y'all pick for three basic primary just resin nonluster paste well they don't have three basic nonluster colors I know for sure when you say okay so they don't have a nonluster yellow and they only have one nonluster red which is carmine and they only have one nonluster blue that I know of which is the turquoise well the teal are also nonluster hi Emily my shelf is all rusty can I still use it I don't see why not just clean it just wipe it down all right this is what I'm gonna do hold off on the questions for a minute I'm gonna basically show you how to put this together I've already put most of this together but this these are what these are these are the extenders to where you can add the second shelf on or we can just sit it right next to it I'm just gonna show you how to put this on and then put it together which is basically putting this together as well so you're not missing anything I'm just showing you I'm just kind of skipping to this part which sometimes really sucks sometimes these things aren't made right so come over here and look at this what this is is this is an extender it goes right here come over here there's little slots in these things and you want to make sure actually you want to turn that up so these little slots are the top part of the slot so that there's somewhere to rest yes so you can hear that it's sitting right down on top of this piece it doesn't take a lot you just you know I wrap this hammer and it rags so that it's not loud so now this part this is basically this thing and you do the same thing but you just find a little slot get it get a good start you'll be able to hear it see you when it hits because this hits this hits and then it hits the floor so you're good right now this is like super the super easy part the one thing that what I want to do since I got the three foot so this is this is how wide this stuff comes three feet so what I want to do is make it this door and the wrap all the way around at three feet so what I'm going to do right is it it's longer than three feet I cut this off all right all right cut a new three feet right the difficulty the other three feet this is the lower band so I'm going to put the next level right here should we do that or should we put one in the middle then the next one here so that you can unwrap it and you can have two levels in there let's do that we'll have one level up here one halfway through yeah but there'll be one door okay um we're actually getting that silver musk in and the next shipment and these things here this is what I want to make sure these are the little lips that the wood sits on these little knobs here and always make sure when you put these in that the big hole goes first the little one drops down put come around over here these little guys go in here make sure it's nice snug and just tap that's it nice and sturdy I seen it basically Kenny says slots and racks is it late night already I almost bought a mini greenhouse as a desk free zone that wouldn't be a bad idea but this may be this is a more DIY version yeah Larry says this is definitely better than having to read IKEA instructions I think IKEA should do like video tutorials because their instructions make no sense at least half the time and also this is good thing when you're when you're put together try to put together your top rack or your second whoops your second top rack so that when you're putting the planks in it's it's really difficult when you have this all wrapped up to put the planks in and out because there's no room for the boards in there I don't know but that's what she said oh no because this is not going to be a rack uh-uh there'll be a rack right here all right next excuse me could you use PVC pipe you could um if you uh if something were to stay flat on it I don't know what you would use to stay flat Kenny I did not see that we forward that to me let's measure how how big you want the next rack I would say just halfway up no like yeah always have a yardstick handy do it to where if there's something here you're you're not you trying to really crouch underneath it and you can see so I would put the net I wouldn't do half I would probably do about right here so I would do if the one is up here I would come down to probably like 13 inches start the next one there so then that's high enough to where if you don't have to bend over get down in there so this one is by somebody eds al the one in this box is not the one he's putting together but it's the same brand this one in the box is just a smaller version I have linked that in our um Amazon link down in the bottom it's in the description box um Jeff you need a rubber mallet that he does we're working with what we got though so it looks wonky yeah um how much was this large version of shelf sometimes it's like 79 at wall at uh Home Depot Home Depot and I think that they have them at walmart I'm not sure vamp says too many that's what she says it's so many it really is a good price because this is basically like raw dine if you guys have like a cast iron skillet it's it feels like the same material heavy duty Margaret says Walmart does carry them I hope I'm not making you guys too dizzy by being mobile today it would have been way too hectic to move all the filming equipment in here so we went old school style the cell phone because this is how we always used to talk to y'all do it can I say yes to you we sell these galvanized shelving units at walmart for $13 um oh it's definitely like super sturdy like it takes two of us to move it without the shelves on it maybe hi Janie Daphne we used to have our that's for the small one so we used to have our dust-free zone under our poor table and as long as your table is bigger diametery circumference than 24 by 48 then you should be able to put this little joint under there you know what I mean so how much how tall are these like connectors do you know like if you want to put one of these under a table like this the I guess to oh that would be so as long as your table is taller than three feet and bigger around than 24 by 48 then you should be fine how are you making it dust-free well funny you should ask that we are going to show you the whole process Andrea the bun rack is amazing this is for like larger pieces we have two bun racks that are awesome for our classes they're on wheels this is what we use for our smaller pieces coasters and for our classes don't be bummed that's a good point definitely wipe everything off before you build it you know just wipe just make sure everything get the cleaner one of those spray cleaners for your keyboards and just wipe everything down put you know you know how stuff gets dusty and congrats Margaret you're putting on the top top okay I've finished you with my cheese boards taking longer than normal to cure to cold weather while transporting got dinged before you put the gun on the entire top one put your put your put your shelves in as you go there's another rack out there so before you put the face of it on yeah okay how can I fix this port it on sunday do I need to stand and pour um you poured them on sunday what's today Tuesday can you send me a picture Mallory even if you wanted you can just wrap this top one in plastic as well just so you know that there's not any dust that's going to come off there Maggie says you guys inspire me and make my heart warm you guys are lucky and love thanks Maggie it's hard work but worth it tomorrow's gonna come y'all that's our new thing just do it just get it done I'm gonna make my husband watch this so he can make me one of these if you wanted you could use this whole entire thing you could put coasters and paintings and paintings and coasters and nothing up top well we can use the top for like storage of boxes and we all need a she-shed right we're thinking about getting another space because we're going to start carrying another paint brand and we are running out of room so we're getting we're growing out I was wondering if you were just gonna hold on to that it's not all the way in the slot does that matter hi Sharon you got it all right so Mallory please send me an email with what it looks like and what you use and how cold it is where you are and we'll we'll figure it out together you need another space in your building just for supplies who you telling I completely agree if they cut me a deal we'll think about it otherwise we're just going to have to give up our living room I can't afford two places and this is also what you want to do before you put your plastic on this looks like we might have to raise this side up a little do that and what you could do what I would do y'all does not count as level yeah especially with resin or pour make sure that bubbles in the in the center just because it's within those two lines doesn't mean it's level because obviously it's closer to this side than this side so it needs to be as middle as possible as middle as middle as a scientific measurement what we're going to do you can use big ones or you can use small ones you go clay it's hdx you can take this out which is going to be a hassle that's why I say do all this before you put it all together but what you can do take popsicle sticks since you don't need them anymore because you use stir sticks exactly and just put them right here on this ledge they literally will fit right there what you do you just hold that you could and like I said if you want take it off and tape them on there or hot glue them or you know just put a couple on there see where you're at is that in the middle or is that in the middle mmm it's closer to middle jillie thank you so much all right so what we'll do is we'll take that there just add it what do you think boom level y'all that's what level is right there so so and and every now and again these little things will shift because moving opening moving just know where they're at and just kind of give a little push in just because you don't want them falling out you're not knowing that they fall out sounds good Mallory I'll check that as soon as we get off the live and now you do this way not level that side needs to come up a little bit this is where it gets tricky because sometimes those guys will want to fall out because you're lifting up this you could also use a silicone sticky things that's true you could use the bumpers but um I don't have any and we're using what we got so closer I guess what you could do also together once you know how many you need yeah so excited about meeting you guys Saturday we're excited too it's gonna be a good time what does that look like it's still off it's low let me go meet your phone Georgia don't buy the plastic rack from los they're useless this is why you do this are you being a helper miss that's good right there perfect it looks good y'all now what I would do just so you know let's do this let's pick this up put a piece of tape right there isn't that gonna change the no that's all it's flush with that see it look at it it's good just you're putting it right to the edge because see these things move like really simple push it push it down onto the wood and up where you can touch the side of the thing there and there you go there you have it kids pull the bar this one here that was way off well I was just still off is it still off as in it needs to yeah so still off oh it's this side it needs to come up sorry I guess Kujo's waiting for somebody waiting for somebody he is apparently expecting a delivery are you waiting for your sex what Uncle Buck should be coming on right it's a Christmas movie there you go all right let's look at it this way that changes it these guys here is what messes up here I'm sherry I would clear coat them in a non alcohol based spray varnish just to give it an extra seal of protection doors I don't have it completely put up and I want it to be full package so I don't know about today they're down that way thank you sherry where did that come from hi miyasa if I had it completed I would absolutely show you guys today what's that the new gallery I can't even tell because we got a little bit too much um wait it looks Kayla you're moving to Texas you have two of them still up here San Antonio not a bad place Jeff is only pro Dallas so I don't even know if he thinks like Frisco counts as Dallas looks bueno well did we're only an hour and a half from Texas from Texas yeah not from Dallas but from Texas looks good now for the fun part so that kind of is like painstaking but it's definitely worth it worth it so you don't have to worry about accidental waterfall pieces three hours from Dallas that's not bad why haven't you come to visit I know you're not feeling well right now I used to live in Ben Dara's so remember this stuff is three feet wide a kid to keep long so what you're going to do is measure basically wrap this around because when this opens up it'll drop from here to here gonna hand that to me back here I was just gonna take the end of it so I don't have to roll it with one hand why don't you just hand me that side I don't know because it's the struggle y'all you can just pull that now let's think here what you're gonna do is you're just gonna cut this off right here because you're gonna tape all this so you leave this open because you're gonna make your door right here so I'll hold this baby awesome Ramona Julie said if I live three hours away I'd be visiting the studio every week well if you end up in our area you're more than welcome to come visit it's not easy to do sorry y'all just three feet all right so if you're by yourself it's a little difficult but if you're by yourself always have tape on you so you can don't have to worry about ripping tape meow is she okay here I would I would I would tape it to this part right here to this section of it is there any particular okay it's nice and flat and you're not messing with this up here and it'll give you a nice flat surface to tape all of it traffic between anywhere in Dallas is terrible Julie's already booking a flight for February woo woo Clay we actually have been looking for our clamps for like two weeks no idea what happened to them clamps clamps your yellow things that you were like where are my clamps oh I found two of them wouldn't it be easier to buy heavy-duty plastic table cloths by the meter here's the thing that's everywhere else in the world's unit of measurement other than the US so um he likes to buy them already three feet long like this one is three feet by I don't know how many so he only has to measure one length of it which would be how far around instead of how far long unless you want to unless you want to get a 10 by you know 50 foot roll roll it out measure it you'd probably have to cut it again unless you you know want to wrap an entire shelf at once you would want you know the whole 10 foot one that's that's all up to you I like to do this because I know really using these two shelves y'all know when you're wrapping presents and you just cut a big area off you always end up with like weird pieces that you waste you know what I mean like there's always waste when you don't have exact measurement like pieces like this if we would have gotten a bigger one we'd have had to cut off this area probably or that area or whatever and I'm not sure what we would have done with it so since we knew we only needed three feet long that's what we went with you could use double-sided tape we'll visit you guys from Waco funny thing my husband calls you the death people yeah some people don't even like to say our name so they can just stick with ATD miyasa did they know what the problem was oh yeah moves guys a little allergies going on we're doing pup chilling cool this is what's gonna be fun getting up in there you're gonna have to go over there and I'm gonna swing this see that's why I should have taken all this out and just brought this out so it's easier to get to yeah but when we move it back here the floor may not be level so we would have to re level everything that's true I'm gonna have to do a couple because this is just that this line mm-hmm so just kind of go a little bit below the hold on what I'll do is I'll just hold this and you stick that side okay tension tension and Alyssa we're basically just making sure that the back side is sealed in kind of impossible if you can't get to it but extra sealed in for flavor oh again well this side is easier because it's up and over that I need to Sulu said me my husband be fighting and now and e6000 is the best glue on the planet sherry says I'm envious of the space you guys have I feel like I need more room we feel like we're about to lose our living room so that we can use it for art space divorce sells a lot of arguments and this is what I always thought if you leave these little gaps open you could take them shut if you want but if it's really cold in your studio and you have like a window little space heaters if you use one you could just put in the corner just a tiny one always be there when you have it on if you do this and that way the air can kind of go up and go through here and if you have stuff up here it would be keep it nice and warm but we've used the space here the little tiny one that we got for free I think from you line and then I use one of those cooking lamps where they have it like in the window where it keeps your food warm that thing works awesome you just put it up here in the corner just clamp it on and it keeps that area warm but always always be there when that's on don't use it if you just leave and those also have fail safes though too like if it gets too hot they'll turn off all right for the door if I were usually with kujo he would win 100 percent of the time I know this because we do argue and he does win do you want me to hold it so you can all right now so what we're going to do hi val oh sorry swinging a mess and make it go around a little bit get divorced and you can argue with your dogs doesn't work and makes dive cats there's two ways you can do this which I figured out the best way for us what's that man of panda I guess you could do just a whole strip of velcro one here one here and one here we've just done well I just used one here and one here one right here and here so you can just get to this if you want to look you know what I'm saying and then the other one was to here but it was taped off right here so you can get into it but I think that would be good if we did a whole just a whole strip here and a whole strip right here and just tape the bottom yeah sounds good let's make it happen where are you gonna velcro up lou says have you guys ever thought about creating the second level in your space with scaffolding yeah there's somebody who lives in this building she has an entire like second bedroom situation on a scaffolding second level and we got this one from walmart nope home depot but apparently you can get them from walmart you can also find them down in the description box in our amazon link if you want to see the packaging and all that well I feel like you want to keep up here sealed super good because if since we have event right there you don't want a dust particle to come out and fall through sherry says divorce lol just don't get married me and mine been together for 23 years if I decided to do that my mother would shoot me in the forehead yeah I had my zippered cover on my bone rack fall into my tray the other day I've had the plastic on that come in onto my artwork before that is not a fun time hi christie maybe but if I cut this then yeah we have to just re-tape that part because you're literally cutting the plastic as well hi sour cream is someone in your place or did I just see a ghost nope our friend Erica is here and she feels like being on a live feed I got my left boob ball in mine um just a smaller tape right here so we can give that uh the velcro something to hold on to here so then when the velcro goes on to here it'll it'll be a little bit more stable for this piece sherry if you could find a two foot by three foot greenhouse lining with a zipper go for that that'd be a great idea um you guys know what they have just zippers to a tarp just put a tarp together take the tape off put it down and you can make a zipper for the same if you want so what he just did is he cut off the plastic nope the uh tape that he put right here because this velcro will stick better to this than it will this tape so he just cut the a line down and retaped it leaving enough room for the velcro sticky part be careful when using exacto blades y'all they will cut your fingers and toes and ears anything you have it will cut it I like to use tape it's a different color than something I like to use black tape it makes it look cleaner um I would like to use that black plastic that's like this but if you use black and then you're trying to look in there without opening it you can't see anything with this gets light through and um you can see in there so if I were doing this I would have taken apart this so this is on here with both sides of the velcro so the backing he already stuck on there and the front of the velcro is on here as well I would have taken all of this off and tried to put it on my cover and then tried to line it up but Jeff's a genius and he just put it on here and what he's gonna do is take this off and attach it because that seems way more logical how long have y'all been live uh 58 minutes about a year now but what you can do put this up get a good it really doesn't matter now yes Jeff is OCD for sure so what are you using that tape for just gonna have just to hold it so line it up and hold it okay line this up why didn't he go all the way to the edges with the velcro I guess I just didn't think I needed to honestly didn't think I was gonna have enough then have to point that out wouldn't you I didn't point it out I know you did whoever did I'm just busting your bulls here okay all right that's a little bit off so then that way you can pull that out kind of see a little bit extra so it's not a bad thing when you put this on you just cut that off so you don't want it flapping in the wind this is one thing too I'm gonna drop this down just a little because velcro's gonna stick then you don't have anything down here for this to stick to we're gonna put tape on the bottom there'd be no point in velcroing the bottom because at no point would you start there and pick up to see what's in there so we're just gonna solid tape it if you staple a yardstick to the open end it will roll back nice hi Mary Jane do you guys have a separate area for your workshops um yes we do there's an atrium just out in the hallway it's not ours it's not ours we just use it it's building this awesome and they allow that kind of stuff what's up cat I'll show it to you um when we're done with all of this you guys don't forget stonecoats live tonight I'm sure they got something cooking up their sleeves Mike's always got something going on well he sent me pictures of his new place so I guess what we could do are you taking all of it off yeah well now he's got to adjust it's a good idea clay you are a DIYer this totally counts as DIYing um yeah this building was built like over 110 125 years ago yeah 125 years ago so um it's super dusty all the time in here and our windows are also from 125 years ago so there's always air coming through along with dust and bugs and things not big ones it's not crazy but definitely anything getting into your pork can be an issue so I'm so excited about this new door and that's one thing too you guys when you take time to make this always make sure to wipe your hands off just get a rag alcohol you know don't take it for granted that this is velcro and this and that because if you get if you get whoops if you get uh what do you call it resin on your hand and get it in here it's not going to stick and this will get all gooky and I'm probably going to make a little handle for this I'll probably make it to where I can just grab it and open it because this stuff is really sticky well that's why clay said to staple a yardstick to this side so that when you pull it off it's got a solid backing let this sit for about a day or so so that it gives it good nice and stick just wrap it you can just wrap this underneath y'all I'll give some extra some some well it won't give you so much to hold on to you know what I'm saying so this just hits this part it's not taking the whole thing so that's good that's good that this is three feet see I love doing stuff like this live so you guys experience it I'm not crazy and I'm not doing something behind y'all's back so now this whole area is sealed in come here up there and if you just want that's all you guys do if you have a little piece right here a whole thing of coasters or a nice what is that kind you can put 18 by 40 in here this is 48 wide 24d super stoked hit the velcro with a heat gun to melt the glue Cindy being a genius over there and if you want if you want to take it even a little further you put maybe one right here just so that see when you when you put that down you possibly could have something getting in there that's up to you though we normally put stuff in the bottom one just because there's so much more room but this is probably going to be the main party scene right here this right here yeah I could see that there you go because this is brand new but there you have it you cut out the excess if you want or tape it nope you don't tape it you won't be able to open it and remember always leave it I want to use some thicker tape on the bottom part always leave it closed is that way you don't get dog hair and dust in there while you're not even using it so it closes bad boy up till we do a pour the bottom is taped it's not velcroed no need to put velcro down there magnets would work too magnets would but that would be a lot of magnets because we don't want any even roll of magnet any gaps it's all filled your dust free zone thank you miss bouvier good dust free zoning time for a new one i just put this in there too bye christie absolutely barb it's like a resin incubator basically once we put the heat in it it will be out i wanted to show you guys where we do the classes come on miss let's go for adventure go for adventure so right out here is where we do our classrooms in the atrium area of south side just here this is where we have it right here i guess you could play um miss bouvier there's some kind of sliding thing with the super chat tip like that i'm not entirely sure but you just glided over and jeff can you ship one of those pre-made are you near the market we're near the farmers market yeah about a mile away if i ever had to rent again you guys have the perfect building we really do it's actually designed for artists well redesigned for artists because it used to be this year's distribution center way back in the day annie who he said i bet doors that i bet a lot of husbands are going to be shown this i hope so these are the alcohol links we've been playing in recently um yes i can show you what the plastic is called coming it is hdx well yardstick you can put on here not on here so if you keep one of these big popsicle sticks and tape it i'm gonna be even touch that and then you just do that yeah and i have a little handle yeah that's what might be our next product i'm not stocking these we'll just we'll just have this we'll just have it to where you just make this part thank you larry i don't have the room to stock that stuff yeah i appreciate that miss buvye thank you ma'am isn't that a great last name i think i'm gonna get some from her from christmas miss buvye yeah what i'm getting a gift from this buvye you're silly like she's fancy why didn't you cover and use all of the shelves hi larry paula the reason why is because this is kind of a little bit high and putting something in here would be very awkward um i'll probably end up tilting it and adjusting the design of it trying to get it just in this shelf area i wouldn't be able to like i'd have to be on my super tippy toes to look in here and see if it's doing okay it's just not effective and ready for a show where are those coming from oh your hand i thought you were just like spewing popsicle sticks so yeah this is just storage this will be storage and this will be storage just because of the awkward nature it would be to get something in those if you wanted to use them all but for our purposes it's just not useful time to rent a warehouse eat right melissa you got this bye clay have a good dinner your gq guy of the year award alayna your mystery box is gonna be amazing so y'all i don't have my i've got this thing y'all remember when we used to have this behind our videos a bit of this at artist to let that come to t's to else we have all jeff's new colors for december posted already she will have hers tonight right jeff has one of his good friends surprise birthday parties tonight that we're going

i'm live i'm here i want the heat gun um sulu we we didn't pay for them so i don't feel comfortable charging people so who would like first come first serve type thing when in biotechs yellows yeah we did this and we like like sealed this in with a matte polycrylic and this is in biotech so you can see a side-by-side real life it doesn't even look as yellow that's a better look it doesn't even look as yellow on here as it is in person yeah this is a little yellow i wonder why that's so bright because we sealed it with polycrylic it has an extra layer of uv but why is this yellow because it's because it's probably not 100 percent it's just a polycrylic it's not like absolutely lucy amylin i wanted to make it that flat because it looks like marble yeah anyways y'all don't forget the stonecoats live tonight at seven our time well light hit all of it because it was in the back of our car for a while nothing and we don't try to put stuff down or we don't try to uh just show you oh
