So why do you think voting matters? I come from a background of being an immigrant to the United States and I think with that perspective and not being able to vote for a long time until I became a citizen, it's really important to have your say.  Well, it's democracy, it's how we run the country, the state and the city, so it's important to weigh in. It's the people's voice and it really depends on who we elect and what not and who runs in the future. Things matter, things matter in general, what is happening in our city matters, all these decisions that are being made during this election will affect our lives in a number of different ways. I think that where we can have the most actionable impact is in our community and what's closest to us and then it really fractals out from there. So how are we showing up for the people who are around us and for our community? That should be the place where we start. I think voting is important because the right hasn't always been available for all populations so I think it's a real civic responsibility that we have the right to vote and we can use it and it's a way that every person can have a voice especially in local elections. Individual votes matter, especially in Burlington. And I think it's important because these are the people who form the policies that affect our lives and I also feel like if you don't vote then you shouldn't complain about what's going on in the government, even on a local level. It's not only important, it's a great privilege and right to be a United States citizen and vote. Notice I said United States citizen. Now I see where there's some people who want to allow non-citizens to vote and that to me is wrong. Vote early, vote often as they say. So I always go to the primaries, I always go to the local elections and I go to the November elections every time I get the chance to vote it's a right and a duty so I do it. It's one potential way to sort of level the playing field and ensure everybody has a seat at the table with a say about the community and the laws that govern us here. Because it's part of your community rather than part of being not part of your community and we all need more neighborly rather than this division that we have far too much of. I mean you gotta let your voice be heard, you know, I mean like we live in democratic society right so like not everybody has that privilege or opportunity to like make their voice count and you know have a say in what goes on in their local government. It's my civic duty and I feel like I can't really complain if I don't cast my ballot and vote for the issues. Can you just share why you came out to vote today? Well, partly it's these guys and I was trying to explain to them that it's just taking part in how our community makes decisions and there's cool stickers but beyond that it's democracy in action and all the little decisions that we make create the world we live in so that's mainly it. I always come out to vote, I love voting. Well it's town meeting day, I think Vermont is one of the most unique states in that front that you know we get to decide what happens with our town or cities and just like with our neighbors so I felt like it was appropriate for me to come and decide. Voting is a habit with me. It's important stuff so I voted. I had a long, I came from rural southern Vermont, New England, traditional New England town meeting, I miss it but I certainly gotten a habit of being a participant. It's our civic duty, same reason I attended my first ever town meeting and it was actually the last one until the one we had last night because of COVID and now here I am involved in local governments and I think everybody should reach out, find a position to volunteer for a committee or a commission and be involved in their community. Big thank you to all of our exit voices teams for going out to the polls this morning and braving the cold and talking to the folks in all of our communities around Chittenden County about why they vote and why it's important to them. Well good evening folks and welcome to town meeting TV's annual election night results show. This is the preview show. We'll be back at seven. I'm Emily Brewer and I'm joined by Shay Totten. Thanks for being here tonight. Thanks Emily. Absolutely. And together we'll be bringing you results from six Chittenden County municipalities, Burlington, South Burlington, Winooski, Williston, Essex and Colchester. For each of those towns we'll walk you through the ballot and provide analysis for the elections and issues that are covered on the ballot in each of those towns. We'll also have clips from our coverage and forum series as well as interviews with candidates coming into the studio live throughout the night to talk to us about their elections. Now town meeting is happening around the state and community media centers around the state were there both last night and today covering their meetings, providing hybrid support, live streaming and recording from four municipalities from St. Albans to Brattleboro. I'd also like to give a quick shout out to VCTV, Vermont Community Television for airing tonight's election results program on their statewide channel. You can check that out on Comcast channel 1070. Check them out for more public access content throughout Vermont. And Shay, it's shaping up to be a busy night. What do you think? It is. Well I think, you know, there's a lot of folks who are paying attention to Burlington. Burlington has not just a few contested city council elections which could determine the balance of power on the city council and the balance of power in the city itself. Democrats are hoping to sort of, you know, get a plurality on the council. Progressives are trying to hold ground that they've lost over the past couple of years. There's also going to be new faces on the city council in South Burlington as well as Williston. And you know, I think we're also going to be seeing some interesting ballot items coming out of Winooski, even in Colchester as well. But I mean, but the big story is really going to be, I think, watching Burlington. The charter changes that are being proposed in Burlington that were citizen led, you know, one which would allow for more direct citizen participation to sort of put items on the ballot and get things changed, get the charter changes put forward right that goes right to the legislature as opposed to going through the council as much. But the biggest one is really about a community control board and accountability of the police department. So there's definitely a lot to unpack tonight. And as those results roll in, we'll keep you updated as soon as we get them. We're also going to be hearing from candidates directly in our Studio B, where Bobby Lucia is standing by for live interviews. And right now with him, he has Tyler Barnes, who is running for the two year city council seat in South Burlington, which is a contested race. Bobby. I'll be with you tonight. As Emily mentioned, I'll be here in Studio B interviewing some of the candidates that folks weighed in on their ballots earlier today. And I'm joined right now by Tyler Barnes, who's running for the city council seat in South Burlington. Thanks so much, Tyler, for joining us. And I'm going to share just a little bit about why you ran and what you're hoping to accomplish on the city council. Sure. I mean, briefly, I'm just looking to give back to the city that's given me so much over the course of the last 35 years, first as a student and as a small child growing up, providing a warm, nurturing community that allowed me to thrive and become the person that I am today.  And with the departure of Thomas Chitenden and Matt Coda off of the city council this year, it just seemed like the right time and a tremendous opportunity. So what did you hear from voters during your campaign? You ran a contested campaign against a couple of other folks. And what did you hear from voters? I heard a lot of things. Fears the wrong word, but apprehension, I think, is fair. There are a lot of folks in South Burlington and throughout Chitenden County who are really struggling right now between inflation, the cost of housing. Folks are really nervous and that trepidation is creeping into their everyday lives. And they wanted to hear more about a lot of the proposals that are being put forth and how that's going to impact them and their everyday lives. And you mentioned the stepping down of Matt Coda and Thomas Chitenden and the opportunity for a couple of new faces to contribute to the work of the city council. What do you think is the opportunity there for some new perspectives to contribute to the work? And what does that mean for South Burlington? Yeah, well, for me personally, I'm a huge fan of Matt and of Thomas. I think they both are exceptional people and I think they've done a tremendous job giving folks in the community who haven't given them a voice and make. So for me, I'm hoping to continue that and I'm hoping to provide the same sort of steady, even keel, really open minded leadership that they've both brought to the table. And so it's less about replacing them and more about continuing the tradition and the hard work that they've put forth. That's what I'm really excited about. Tyler Barnes, candidate for South Burlington City Council. Thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for having me, Bobby. Back to you guys in Studio A. Emily and Shea. Thank you so much, Bobby. We're looking forward to hearing more from you throughout the night. Now, let's take a closer look at what to expect from Burlington and some of the surrounding communities tonight. What are some of the big storylines you're looking out for? Yeah, I mean, aside from Burlington, which I think we talked about, like one of the things I do want to mention is like, I think this has gotten some coverage, but Just Cause Eviction is on the ballot, both in Essex and in Manuski. It's also in Brattleboro too. So statewide, there's three communities looking at this. This is an initiative that passed in Burlington a couple years ago as a charter change. The governor vetoed it and the legislature couldn't override the veto, so it died. The other thing that I'm looking forward to sort of hearing more about too is to sort of see how folks in Burlington vote on the all residents voting, which would allow basically all residents, whether they're U.S. citizens or not to vote. This is something that Manuski and Montpelier have passed as charter changes a couple years ago. Again, those were vetoed by the governor, but the legislature overrode those vetoes later than the Republican National Committee sued those communities, saying it violated the Constitution to let folks who aren't U.S. citizens vote, but the Constitution does allow for that in local elections and even state elections. And so the Vermont Supreme Court upheld those. So, Burlington's on pretty solid ground now to actually have that passed. And there's about 2,700 folks in Burlington who would fit that, you know, who would be potentially eligible to vote in a community election. So for school board budgets and city council races. But speaking of city council, so there's going to be at least three new members tonight on the city council after this election, about eight candidates seeking election. We've got three, there's going to be potentially four, but there's three, all four of the district council seats are up for election. Only one is uncontested. That's Mark Barlow in the New North End, the North District, all the other three districts are contested. Plus, there's a special election for ward eight because Ali House stepped down a while back. And so this is the opportunity to fill that seat. So this is really going to sort of the races themselves are going to really sort of demonstrate like what kind of policies get put forward by the city council. And one of those policies is actually on the ballot as a citizen led initiative, which would create a police accountability board separate and distinct from the police commission. And that actually was approved by the council by a seven to five vote, the mayor then vetoed it. And the progressives who were leading that could not find an eighth vote to override the veto. So that initiative died, but then citizens who were supporting it gathered enough petition signatures to put it on the ballot. And that's where it is now. So that's that's the one that we've seen the most yard signs about the most front porch forum posts about the most heated discussions, you know, at coffee shops and street corners and, you know, NPA meetings. So I think that's going to be the one that I think a lot of people are going to be watching. But Broglie's has also got a number of other things you've got the school, you know, it used to be like the school budget was the thing that everybody focused on. But, you know, with with eight ballot items plus a budget, there's a lot of other things that people are paying attention to. There certainly is. And I when I went to vote today, I was I was surprised by the the the length of my my ballot and over in Ward three, just because there are so many ballot initiatives that folks have to have to vote on. And when it comes to this, particularly article number seven and article number eight, those are both, you mentioned it, citizen created charter changes. Can you tell us a little bit about how that's different from the other articles? Sure. Well, a lot of a lot of the articles that show up in town meetings, either a city council or a select board in other communities can put those on there before voters. And a lot of them times those would be led by discussions are happening on those boards. But just like in other communities, citizens, if you gather, you know, at least five percent of the eligible voters like sign a petition to put something on there, you can petition the city council to put it on there. Now the city council doesn't have to. The city council can also reject it and they can tweak the language if they feel like it violates, you know, legally, it wouldn't be, you know, legit to put it on the ballot. But they can take a review of that. So they just, the council decided to let this go forward to the voters. And so those, and that's the same thing with with the ballot number eight, which is called prop zero, which is known as, which would also be allow for the citizen led charter change initiatives to sort of come right from, you know, to have those happen right from the citizenry. Because and this is not uncommon throughout Vermont, where people can can make changes, you know, sometimes through floor vote, even at sort of old school town meetings to make changes. So this is sort of, this is sort of not too controversial. I mean, I think the main concern there is I could special interest, like we see in California, you know, fund propositions that could change charter or do things. And so I think that's like probably not going to happen here, but I think that's one of the concerns. So then, you know, then it could be, you know, maybe items that don't align with sort of the population, it could potentially be lobbied to be put on. So I think that's some of the concerns. But but those are all because they're put on the ballot by a petition from the, you know, petition gathered from the community, as opposed to sort of the council putting it on there. Gotcha. Well, thank you for that excellent, excuse me, explanation. And so we've talked, we've talked a lot about Burlington, but let's, let's do a quick overview of some of the contested races that we'll see throughout the rest of the communities. Sure. Well, as we saw in Studio B, you know, we've got contested, you know, contested races in South Burlington, as well as at least one school board in Winooski, as well as a select board seat in in Williston. And in fact, I was in preparing for the show as watching the town, the community, the forum you did with the two candidates there. Ellie Beckett and Mark. Mike Isham. Mike, Mike, Mike. That's right. So, yeah, so I was really interested in hearing that because it it senses like they're both coming at the coming out, like what the growth for Winooski or what Williston needs, but it was really sort of like there's slight generational shift, which you can obviously see. But, you know, so that'll be interesting to see how that race shakes shakes out because you have the Isham family, which is a long standing family of Williston. I think, you know, I think as Mike said, like his, his, his family was like one of the founding families of Williston.  So, but it'll be so that's going to be an interesting one to watch to sort of see. Doesn't seem like it'll change the dynamics on the select board much, but I think the, you know, the perspective of like the need for housing and still the need for conservation and open space, as well as trying to promote local businesses in Williston as opposed to sort of just being, I think, what people think of Williston as big box stores. Right, exactly, especially now as they're as they continue to develop that Taft Corners area. And that'll be interesting to see how that that election shakes out, considering they're both two well-known names in, in the Williston community. So also in Williston, there's two uncontested races for the select board there. Terry McCague, current select board chair is running uncontested for another, I believe, three years. And Jean Jensen will also be is running uncontested for the Wilson select board. So those are those races there. And let's let's move over to Winooski and chat a little bit about those races. So that contested race there is between is for the school school board, the two-year seat, between Jordan Matt, who ran for state representative in the 2022 general election, and Robert Miller, who was on the school board and city council previously. So there you have like someone who's just been running for office and has like, has like a good network of people, even though they weren't successful in, you know, in the legislative race. But now you have also someone like Robert is has been on multiple part has been in the community for a long time and doing that. So again, it's going to be interesting, interesting to see. But I think, you know, the story out of Winooski, too, will will be just cause eviction to see if that does pass, because I feel like that's that's something that that Winooski with Winooski Essex and Brattleboro, I mean, there's been a lot of, you know, a lot of funded opposition to that, you know, a lot from landlord associations. And so, you know, the governor's not doesn't approve of that, you know, that kind of effort to sort of like keep, give more power to renters to sort of not be especially in this hot housing market, not to be sort of, you know, kicked out of the housing because of exorbitant rent increases, which I think, you know, is really the experience for a lot of folks who are renting has been the case. So aside from that, I think that's going to be something I'm interested to sort of see what does happen in Winooski with with that in particular, given the given the attention from outside the community. Well, we'll definitely be keeping a close eye on that article to see how that see how people in Winooski vote. And we also will be covering the Colchester elections. So in Colchester, there's all the seats there for the school board and select board uncontested. So not very interesting races there. Really, it's the it's the ballot items in Colchester that have people's eye. Right. Right. And I think that the one that is getting the most attention is really the Rec Center, which, you know, will be funded. My understanding is from from the local from local option taxes that are being assessed, so wouldn't be coming sort of out of property taxes. But I think that's fascinating for a community sort of to think about investing and creating a town rec center. It's been on it's been discussed for a long time. It sounds like it's going to have a lot of community rooms and spaces beyond just being a fitness center, like into our walking track and an all purpose gym. So yeah, I mean, good for Colchester. I mean, it's tries to try to promote itself as like a recreation destination being on Mouth Bay. So here's just one more one more reason, I guess, to go and recreate Colchester. Exactly. They're trying to hope for. Yeah. And as you know, as I was doing some research, it is made pretty clear that, you know, no property taxes will be used to build it or run it. And so again, could you maybe tell us a little bit about the local options tax and what what that means? Yeah, well communities, communities can have local option taxes like Broington has its own has has a tax like that. I can't remember how many other communities in Vermont have that, but but it allows them to assess like an extra like in Brogdon, it's an extra sales tax, so an extra portion.  And that's what it goes to. It's an option. It's an extra option tax that's out there. So I'm not sure I have to look into looking a little bit more. But but for Colchester will have the same thing they can they can levy these extra option these extra fees. And with additional businesses coming in and more activity coming in, you can you hopefully gain extra taxes, taxing come off the new generation of something like this creating more revenue in town for businesses. So you can collect that and then it helps to pay down the bonds. And it seems like growth and building community is definitely a through line and a lot of these ballot items like in particular South Burlington, some of their ballot items, the article number four city centered tax increment financing that tiff bond for really making South Burlington have a downtown city center. That's a big one. It is a big one. Yeah. You know, we talk about the contestor races in South Burlington, but I'm just fascinated by how many bond items and budget items are up in South Burlington, both on the school side and the city side. I mean, there's a there's a lot there's a lot of money there. But I mean, South Burlington is really trying to invest in some of the infrastructure to kind of help continue to grow because it needs to supply more housing and you see more housing going up now. You know, this downtown city center, which has been an idea, you know, for more than a decade, you know, it's finally sort of you can sort of start seeing it take shape now. And so I think, you know, this extra money, I think potentially, you know, because it's through a tiff through a tiff district bond, which is a little bit different than what we were just talking about because it really it's about the growth in the property taxes that come from the new construction in that area that's the tiff district is supposed to then help pay for the infrastructure that goes in. So again, so it doesn't come out of existing tax money. It comes out of like future anticipated new money coming in. All these things that counties come up with. But but but that's sort of that's sort of part of it. But you know, so it'll be interesting to sort of see because I mean, South Burlington has been pretty generous with with trying to create this identity to have in actually creating a city center for itself because it hasn't really had one. It's sort of it's very scattered. So but actually creating a downtown for itself. I think people started to see it take shape. So I feel like it's probably going to get go and be supported. But it'll be interesting to sort of see because you know, as we all know the economy is still touching go for a lot of folks. Inflation has been pretty hard on folks this past year, including what we see what we're seeing in city and school budgets. Inflation is definitely a driving factor. And these increases that we're going to be seeing around town meeting tonight. And let's let's talk a little bit more about that across the board. All of these towns are seeing budget increases. And you know, like we just mentioned with Sel Burlington, it's not just the budget that voters are voting on. That's there's a lot of money here to to be considered. So what do you think voters are going to feel? I think they're going to tell us how they're going to feel. I mean, this is the thing. I mean, I think this is going to be a real indicator for how much capacity. How are people feeling about their own economy and their own sort of situation right now? And how much of that is going to play out? We always think this is the big question every year is like, is this the year when all the school budgets get voted down because people just can't take any more increases. And we generally don't see that pattern. I mean, people tend to tend to be more angry at the federal government for spending than they do for their local governments. Not always. But I mean, that tends to be the general case. So but if you look at the budgets, I mean, most of them are within the inflationary sort of like the inflation for the country. So they're sort of staying within budget. Like they're like they're not going up any more than inflation. There's a couple that there are. And what's driving it is mostly health care costs, inflationary pressure across the board for goods and services that the government has to buy just like we do on labor contracts, you know, cost of living increases for for staff. So certainly a lot for voters in all of the towns to consider here tonight. Before we close our preview show, just maybe just another recap of those contested races or ballot items that you really think are going to be hot hot ticket items tonight. Yeah, I mean, I think top top of mind is really the contested the contested city council races in Burlington along with the ballot item number seven in Burlington, which is the police accountability board. I think those are those are the ones I'm most watching. And after that, I'm really fascinated to sort of see how things go just cause eviction, both in Essex and Winooski, because Essex is not a place you would think that would that would show up and pop up. But so I'm surprised, but I'll be interested to sort of see what happens with Essex as well as what happens in Winooski.  There's plenty to go around.  And make sure you stay tuned for our results show at 7 p.m. Where we will be bringing you results as soon as we get them from the town clerks, we've got a really dedicated group of volunteers and folks at the polls in our results room, aggregating and putting those results into our modules so that folks can can see who was elected and what ballot items passed as soon as soon as the polls closed. That's right. And if you haven't voted yet, you still have an hour left a little more than an hour. Definitely still go out and vote if you can set polls closed at seven at all the locations. And it'll be, you know, it'll be interesting to see when we get results for particularly Burlington because Burlington did mail all registered voters absentee ballots. And from what we heard from some of the poll workers during our exit voices today is you know, overall numbers are are down, but a lot of those a lot of the votes that were cast were absentee and so it'll it'll take a bit for those to come in, but we'll keep you updated as soon as we get them. That's right. That's right. It's going to it might be it might be a long night to get some of those to get some of those close races tallied. Exactly. But we'll be keeping our eye on it and we'll keep you updated. And so thank you for tuning in to our preview show. We make sure to tune back in at seven o'clock. Shane, I'll be here looking at the results and bringing them to you as soon as we get them. And before we close here, we will take a look at one more exit voices from voters at the polls.  We live in democratic society, right. So like not everybody has that privilege or opportunity to like make their voice count and, you know, have a say in what goes on in their local government. So yeah, I feel like it's my duty as a citizen. It would be a slap in the face of my female ancestors and grandmother who were suffragettes to not come out here and vote.  Sorry for the language, but you can't complain. They kick your feet when you're not part of the decision. One of the things I love is just seeing people help make this whole democracy work right here today, doing all this work to make sure we can vote.


Hey guys, Thundee here and welcome to my super unscientific speaker test and this time I have a plethora of devices for you guys here It's been a while since I've had this many devices do a speaker test I'm talking about the iPhone 11 Pro Max the Galaxy S20 Ultra the LG V60 Thank you the Oppo Fine X2 Pro the Huawei P40 Pro as well as the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro yes a ton of devices now what's quite interesting is that this is probably one of the few times or at least this year we've got a ton of devices that I have Dolby Atmos I'm talking about the OnePlus is the OnePlus 8 8 Pro the Huawei P40 Pro the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Fine X2 Pro all have Dolby Atmos so they activated for this video while the LG has a 3D sound engine which is activated as well now we're gonna see of course using our DB meter to measure of course which is the loudest I put in a position that I like to use some of you might not agree but hey that's what it is and then we'll figure out which one actually sounds the best so let's go ahead and start measuring now those were some very interesting numbers and let's start with the lowest to the highest at the lowest in terms of decibel sounds is the LG V60 Thank you at one oh one point six decibels LG used to be a big winner in this category they've gone away from boom sound and what they've done wasn't has not been too impressive at least for me next up is the OnePlus 8 there's actually a difference at least for me for what I see between the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro OnePlus 8 comes in at 102.1 decibels next up is the Galaxy S20 Ultra at 103.7 decibels which is kind of similar to what we've seen in the past next after that is the iPhone at 104 decibels then right after that is the OnePlus 8 Pro with 105.3 decibels so it's a bit louder for the pro at least in our test here then we now have some surprises the Oppo Find X2 Pro comes in at 107 decibels which is pretty nice and loud and also came out quite clear as well but the biggest surprise is the Huawei P40 Pro at 111.8 decibels yes and this thing has a mono speaker so which of all these smartphones actually sound the best to you now the sounds I did like I did like what the P40 Pro but but it's still a mono sound I could hear that but it was loud enough it was clear so I give that a nice qualifier though I think for me it's between the the OnePlus 8 Pro the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone still has that really nice sound I would say if I were to rank those at my top three I would give it more to the OnePlus is up probably gonna be my number one pick the OnePlus 8 Pro this time for best speaker because it just sounded a little bit more balanced with the high mids and lows at least for the track that we tested it in here now guys what do you think which of these phones sounded the best we know who has the loudest which of course is the Huawei P40 Pro but who actually sounded the best in terms of audio leave your thoughts down below don't forget to like share hopefully you enjoyed this video check out more comparison videos from us on the channel and always enjoy your entertainment


Next question is from Soraya Graham. I want to add running to my weightlifting routine. I was thinking of running a mile or ten minutes prior to lifting. My goal is to keep and improve on gains but also weave in some endurance training. Or is it better to run after weights or run on my days off? Help! After weights or days off. Yeah, well it depends. Okay, so we're splitting hairs a bit because you're not running a ton, you're running a mile. That's a good point. Here's the deal. What's more important to you? The endurance or the strength? If endurance is more important than you run before you work out, if strength is more important than you run after you work out, the best answer is on the days off, in my opinion. On the days off, when you're not lifting, then you don't have these kind of competing signals. But if it's on the same day, studies will show, whatever you do first, you tend to improve the most in your workout. By the way, this is true for exercises too. So whatever your exercises you do at the beginning of your workout, tend to be the ones you get the most improvement in. And the ones at the end of the workout, you tend to get the least improvement. But again, we are splitting hairs here. You're only running one mile, so it's not going to make a huge difference either way. I feel like we address this all the time. And I feel like, too, because everybody is so inactive and sedentary in general, I think even having a pursuit to jog, run, do whatever, like to acquire more steps throughout your day is something everybody should consider even. If you're sitting all the time, just to gain more activity in general, I mean, there's a lot of other ways to accomplish that in which I tend to prefer like the neat method where we're just like focusing on just being up and being active and, you know, being more productive and using that time, you know, to accomplish things within your house or work or whatever, versus just like running on a treadmill like a hamster. But, you know, if this is something that you really enjoy to do, you know, I see no problem in incorporating that, but yeah, I would definitely put at the end of your workouts if the priority right now is strength. I love this right after a workout, especially a mile. Less than 10 minutes. Yeah. You know, even if you have a relatively slow mile, you're doing that in 10 minutes. You're just cruising. Yeah, that's cruising. And if you do it every single day, you will build some endurance. You'll get at it relatively quick. So, and I like that. This is actually the place that I kind of go back to. Like, if I haven't ran in a while, this has been actually on my mind because I haven't in a while, is I like to just make sure I can run a mile. And my logic behind that is I'll probably never have to in my life run longer than a mile. You know what I'm saying? That's probably the most I'll ever have to. So, I want to be pretty good at it. I want to be able to, if I got to go take off with my son or do something where I got to run for a straight eight minutes or so, I'm pretty efficient at it. I don't have any desire to run 5, 10, 15 beyond that. I want to catch a burglar. And because it's such a, because it's... Exactly. Right. If a guy steals from you, he's not getting very far. He's not getting longer than a mile. You know what I'm saying? So, to me, if you're only running that short of a duration, it's not that conflicting of a signal to build muscle at the same time. You're talking about a very short window. It's not... I mean, it's almost a warm-up, honestly. It is. If your endurance is decent, if I ran a mile before, it wouldn't be a warm-up. It'd be a hard workout. But if someone else did, and if your endurance is okay, it's kind of a warm-up. So, I'm glad you brought that up, because this is what I would do during... When I was competing, I would actually run a mile before I started working out. And it was like a warm-up. It was like, I'm just going to do that.  You're not lifting heavy anyway. Yeah, I'm not lifting. I'm not training really heavy. All my gains were done in the off season. Now it's time to shred, peel down. So, I just want to burn. And so, I'm going to burn as many calories before going into the workout. Then I'm really going to burn when I'm getting into my workout. And then sometimes I'd even walk for 10 or 15 minutes afterwards. So, yeah, that's sort of a duration. I think you could do every single day and be totally fine and make great gains. Excellent.


Hello and welcome everyone. My name is Zahra Engelizian. I'm the head of consumer industries and the future of consumption platform at the World Economic Forum. I would like to provide you with a brief context about the future of consumption platform and why we are hosting a session on resetting consumption for a sustainable future. It is the mission of our platform to advance responsible consumption for the benefit of business and society. To realize this mission, one of our key goals is to accelerate environmentally sustainable consumption. Why is this critical? At current consumption level, almost three planets would be required to sustain a population that is poised to reach 9.6 billion people in 2050. We also know that consumers, especially younger consumers, are becoming more aware of the issues associated with the health of our planet. Increasingly, they are seeking products that are produced and consumed sustainably. The key question is, how do we meet consumer demand to transition the consumer value chain to a state that is more responsible? By illuminating a fresh set of solutions and perspectives today, we are inviting key stakeholders to join forces through collaborative ecosystems to address the challenges that lie ahead. We are fortunate to have Tim Davy, the director general of the BBC, to moderate an esteemed panel. After 30 minutes, the livestream will end and we will transition to a deeper dive regarding the topic of sustainable consumption between the panelists and forum partners. Let's get started. Tim, over to you. Thank you, Zahra, and thank you for the introduction. And welcome, everybody. I appreciate everyone joining this session. I think that in some ways topics like positive transformation, sustainability, responsible consumerism are all now topics that are so at the mainstream and so much of a given the debate now moves into, for all of us as leaders, the how, not the what. And today, I think, is a really interesting chance for us to discuss that in the context of two industries. Actually, I know, well, having worked both Procter & Gamble and in the drinks business with PepsiCo, when you've got businesses that are well established, sustained actually brilliantly since the 1800s, but now facing these enormous times of change. And we've got an incredible panel to talk through for the next 30 minutes. And I'll be talking to them to understand this whole topic of how do we truly get to a consumption that is a pattern which is sustainable and responsibly managed. So we've got David Taylor, and we've got a real global panel. I should say David Taylor joining us from Cincinnati. David is chairman of the board, president and CEO of Procter & Gamble. Welcome, David. We've got Tak Ninami, who is joining us from Tokyo. Welcome, Tak. Good to see you. And you're president and CEO of Santori Holdings. And then Jennifer Morris, a world expert as CEO of the Nature Conservancy, and joining us from Washington, DC. So welcome to all of you. It's fantastic to have everyone linked up from various corners of the globe. Let me start, and we're going to have an open discussion on these topics before we go to the close session on Q&A. But let me just start, Jennifer, with you. And I said at the beginning in my words, this is now a question of how and getting on with it. What's your take in terms of this whole area of consumerism and how much we're using as a planet and the readiness of established businesses to transform their models? Great. Yeah, thanks so much, Tim. And thanks. Good morning. Good afternoon to everyone. It's great to be here with this incredible panel. So you're absolutely right. I mean, look, the pandemic has been an accelerator for so many things in our lives, right? Now we need it to really accelerate the transformation to more sustainable production and consumption. Because the first time really, I think, and certainly in our generation, we're actually recognizing the connections between human health and planetary health in really profound ways. And so I'm excited to talk about the ways that companies, governments, consumers can really lead on this very important topic of sustainable consumption. Look, as society rebuilds, there is a real sense of renewed opportunities for companies and governments to put investments and consumptions through a carbon neutral and biodiversity lens. And at the Nation Conservancy, that's what we're focused on. We're focused on ensuring that healthy oceans, freshwater and lands tackle the climate emergency and that we protect the most important lands and ocean systems and freshwater on which all life depends. And responsible production and consumption is absolutely critical to this work. Food systems in particular are critical for this. We're using, as Zara said in her intro, we're using so much of our planet up that we're not going to have anything left for our children. So right now we're seeing a real convergence of agriculture and environment for the first time not being seen as a zero-sum game, but really being able to connect the two in very profound ways. We actually know now that it doesn't have to be that we produce food that depletes the planet. We know now that it is possible to shift our food system in an effort to actually restore nature instead of just depleting it. And it's not just about environmental NGOs saying this. Consumers are saying this. Companies are saying this. The Nation Conservancy just did a recent survey with Edelman consulting to actually survey consumers and companies, beverage companies, all sorts of consumer goods companies. And the majority response was that it's not just about doing no harm. That people, businesses, and consumers want to see sustainability that actually requires doing good for the planet. Not just doing no harm. So it's not just about CSR or ESG. As you said, Tim, in your intro, the companies in the long term that will succeed are those that make this about DNA. And that's really what the Nation Conservancy is excited about working with these companies who recognize this and then are willing to do the hard work to make it happen on the ground. And I just want to celebrate the companies here, Procter & Gamble, Centauri, Walmart, so many syngentists, so many companies that are attending this today. They have taken the first bold step to set targets. And now the hard work comes in to actually work on the ground, working with governments to provide the right incentives, both financial and policy incentives that will require that change to happen. And that's what I look forward to discussing today. Thanks, Jennifer. Great. And coming to David, I think Jennifer mentioned a new DNA. It's easier when you're forming a new company, but when you've got something of the success and that DNA of Procter & Gamble. Talk to me a little bit about, David, the scale of change. We've talked about constructive disruption, which is, I like the term, is how much change you need to drive through the business to get this done? Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody. And Tim, absolutely, we have to constructively disrupt almost everything we do. And those forms are important, because disruption can destroy what we find, what we need is a way to constructively create a new reality. Because you're right, we have to change the way we consume many of the products, frankly, that we make and many other companies make. There's lots of disruption in its accelerating, but in areas of sustainability, it means that we're looking to constructively disrupt everything we do. We start with our operations. We made a commitment to advance a portfolio of natural climate solutions that would generate a carbon benefit equal, the cumulative emissions through 2030. This will effectively make our manufacturing operations carbon neutral for the decade and deliver an estimated carbon benefit of 30 million tons. But it's more than that. We have to work with whether it's wonderful farms like the Nature Conservancy or Conservation International, World Wildlife Fund, or many others or other companies to advance a number of projects that protect, improve, and restore critical landscapes around the world. And we know we have to do more than that. We have to make products in a way that consume less energy, that have less waste, that consume less water. And we can do that. We can use our scientific capability to change the way we formulate our products. And it even goes to how consumers consume the products. If we even change our supply chain and our manufacturing operations, that's not enough. We have to help work with consumers that ultimately use our products to consume them in a way that has lower impact. And one of the best examples is when you wash dishes, 80% of a washing machine's energy consumption comes from getting the water. We can design formulas that can take the water temperature way down. We can save the vast majority. We're even working on a technology that eliminates water completely, reducing the need for plastic bottles, millions of gallons of water required to make pack and ship. All of these are examples where we're looking across our entire business model and what can we disrupt the way we do to help really reset consumption. Thank you, David. And I'm going to move to Tackett just like with the same question really, which is what we're hearing is across the board, which is this idea that this is a whole cell change of how we do business across all fronts as opposed to the kind of CSR or bits on the side of the business. It really becomes something fundamental to survival and re-engineering all of what we do and how we work. Tackett, from a perspective from Tokyo here, what's your sense of the scale of change you've got to undertake as an organization? Great to be here. Thank you very much for having me. First of all, we've been working on the sustainability things as well as the giving back to society almost for 122 years since we found it. And we know growing for good means a lot. And that is educated to every employee, spending a lot of resources. So that means our people know how important giving back to society means that gives a trust from society, that gives us a license to operate. But the key thing is how to take our know-how to those countries in carrying lots of issues like I'll say on countries, for example, those who need their resources. So from Tokyo, we have lots of businesses with the Asian countries, including China. David knows quite a lot. There are so many issues. So should we be only staying in a country where we have lots of solutions? How to take those solutions to other countries to solve problems? So that's the issue we are talking about now. That is a huge, huge change. Let me pick up with you guys a few of the kind of specific issues and I'll kind of touch on different things. But firstly, David, one of the obvious things, and I remember from my days, is the whole packaging question and just how far we can go to. We've looked at recyclability, more sustainable production. I mean, again, I'm really interested for this audience to hear the scale of changes you are feeling you need to make to make the business sustainable in this way. Talk to me a bit about packaging and how far we need to go. I think one we need to dramatically change what happens today. If you just take plastic, as an example, you mentioned that 70 percent of plastic is captured, but only 10 to 15 percent is recycled. In a world like that, and with the number of bottles and other plastic items being produced, we have to change it. But I think solutions can come. One of the most exciting ones that I see, and additionally, what we're doing is a company. And we, like many companies, have committed to having 100 percent of our packaging recyclable, reusable, but reducing the amount of virgin petroleum plastic we use by 50 percent over the next decade. But we need to do more than that, much more. And we're part of a coalition of over 50 companies that have come together across the entire value chain. It's part of the alliance to end plastic waste. We've all voluntarily agreed to put up a billion and a half dollars over the next five years in order to develop sustainable models. And the key right now we need is sustainable, scalable, circular solutions. And to do that, we've got everything from the people that make plastic to people that make plastic packaging. We're working with the plastic recyclers and others to develop pilot programs that can capture it, process it, and turn it into a second life. Because the issue is the waste. We want nothing going into oceans, nothing going into the environment. Capture it. We use it in a way. Where we can, we eliminate plastic and find better solutions. It may be paper solutions or others. But where we need plastic is the best alternative. Let's develop these scalable, circular solutions. And to me, I'm excited about the fact that we now have pilot programs going in Jumbrana, Indonesia, where you pay people to collect it, process it, and give it a second life. Because the issue many companies are making very bold claims on the use of post-consumer use resin. The issue is there's not enough of it available today. So we've got to find ways to capture it, process it, and reuse it in addition to working to eliminate it everywhere we can. Fascinating. And what you were saying about targets is really interesting as well. I think, Tak, I wouldn't mind just the other resource packaging that water in your business, huge in terms of another sustainability question globally. Talk to me a little bit about that as well, in terms of a lot of these businesses using a lot of, I mean, we talked about it earlier in terms of dishwashing and washing machines and water in that regard. But in your production, I mean, talk to me about that a little bit in terms of sustainability of supply. Is that something that's occupying your mind? Sure. As a beverage company, that relies on the blessing of natural water. We, Santori, is committed to ensuring the natural water is passed on to the next generation to come. To achieve that, we need to take a system-wide approach. As a company, our aim is to achieve net positive water usage by 2050. We are also engaging in broad activities that go beyond our organization to drive water conservation. For example, we partner with local communities and the universities to nurture healthy forests with the vast biodiversity, very rich, that can generate abundant groundwater, focusing on the areas where we have operation. In Japan, we have already reached out the goal to cultivate double the amount of the water we use in production. Our efforts have expanded beyond Japan to the United States and Europe. And we are now planning to go to the ASEAN countries as well. And another uniqueness I want to talk about is education for children. We are sending instructors to teach our children about how blessing the natural water is, as well as how natural water is generated for many years, going through many soils. And then they will teach adults the importance of natural water. So we are sending instructors to not only Japan, but also Vietnam, Japan, and ASEAN countries. Because that kind of children will become ambassadors in the future. So this is a unique approach, but it takes a lot of time. But they will be playing a key role to the world. And as well as they will work on ocean litter things as well. Thank you, Tim. I want to say this voice in water is to think about what's going on. Both our companies use a lot of water, but there's an exciting multi-stakeholder project called the 50-Liter Home. This is a good example. Many of the folks probably on this call are involved in this project because there's many companies that are working, as well as WEF and many others. And the ideas in the developed world, we on average use 500 liters a day of water. What if we could still have the same quality of life at 50 liters? Take 90% out, but still use the products you love. What would we need to do in terms of designing products differently? Capture water use from any one task? Clarify it? Come back? What do we need to use from an appliance standpoint? Think about if we could design it. This is the example of the kind of things that multi-stakeholders working with outstanding NGOs, with companies, and in some cases with governments, can develop solutions. Because if we can do that, we don't sacrifice quality of life, but we do develop sustainable circular solutions. Right. I think that's fascinating. And also you're working with competitors as well, which is an industry group, which is a different muscle to flex as well. Jennifer, I want to move to you, because it's really interesting listening to very senior CEOs here. And if you look at that, listen to the level of detail they have on this. This doesn't sound like CSR anymore. This sounds like listening to this conversation. This is the meaning of life, the level of targets, the level of detail. And I'm not trying to say everything's perfect, but I'll tell you one thing. This is a different conversation to even a year ago, two years ago, in terms of what it means to be a CEO of a consumer goods company. What's your sense of how people are doing, generally, the whole value chain, decarbonizing, the whole operation? It's a bit getting back to the question at the top, but where do you think the area is that we need to push the corporate world a bit harder on and where you'd like to see more progress? Yeah, great. Thanks for that question, Tim. So first of all, I agree that the efforts that have been made on plastic waste and water are phenomenal. We've still got a long way to go, but this sort of systems approach recognizing that it's not just about your own company and your own waste. It's about the consumer and how they're using their products as well as everything that's happening throughout a very complex supply chain. So that's to be plotted where I think that we need to do, quite frankly, a lot more work is around deforestation. And this is an area that's extremely difficult. There's been a lot of big targets that were made by companies many years ago that unfortunately have not been achieved. So if we could take that same approach, that systems approach that we're doing with waste and water and focus it in on deforestation, which has, of course, biodiversity benefits if we can eliminate it, but also, of course, has extreme climate benefits, 11% of global emissions are coming from the destruction of forests in particular, tropical forests. If we could actually take that same approach, we would really be winning on both biodiversity and on climate change, and of course, helping so many people throughout the world. So it's really important, I think, that we think about the fact that there are some moves being made. The UK, the EU are getting ready to introduce legislation that will stop imported deforestation into those jurisdictions. That's terrific. But at the end of the day, it's going to take hard work by companies like the ones here, as well as NGOs, partners, communities, indigenous groups, etc., to really figure out how do we change the incentives? How do we flip the script from destruction and making money from forests that are torn down, versus how do we ensure that we're bringing life back to land and restoring and bringing income back to those communities? That's where the hard work starts. And I applaud the efforts that have made so far, but we've still got a long way to go. That's really clear. And actually, by the way, I would add media companies like mine to the list, because we saw with programming like Blue Planet, which is one of our big natural history landmarks, a noticeable change in attitudes to plastics. I think there's a role in communication of these things that's very profound. I'm going to ask just Tak and David on one question around, I want to probe a little bit more of this working together across the industry. And then, as ever, it's unfair to do all this topic in half an hour, because we could be here some time. But then we'll begin to wrap up in some of the key takeouts. But it's fascinating to hear you all. Why don't we start, Tak, in terms of working with, I remember in my days of PepsiCo, I remember who the enemy were. Do you feel these are industry solutions, or are they sources of company competitive advantage? How's the balance that going to work? That's a great question, because this is, to be honest, the strategic move as well, not the CSR. Having said that, but it's not our turf for competition, as a matter of fact. And plus, affordability for consumers is very important. Cost matters, eventually, because not every consumer is green, consumer. So definitely to achieve a certain level of economy scale, definitely we have to work together with the industry partners as well as across the industry, taking hands with our computers even, so that we achieve the goal. Because we want to achieve the license to operate it together in this turf, definitely. So we work with the Koch in Japan, for example. See, this is the new age. That's good.  And that can be sometimes only achieved even however big the company is by working across the boundaries. How active is that in your sector, and how well is that working? Very active. And it's working well. And we recognize in certain areas, and good examples are the area of equality and the area of sustainability. We will not get solutions unless we work across the entire, not only the business community, but working with outstanding NGOs as well. These multi-stakeholders, the systems approach, as Jennifer says, I think is absolutely right. An example in the industry is the Consumer Goods Forum, which has hundreds of consumer products companies around the world are working together and have very active work going on in forestry, in water, in plastics, in many of these areas, food safety, many other areas. Because if we don't restore trust back for consumers, it's damaging for all. And we recognize consumers rightfully care more and more about the environment. They want sustainable solutions.  And they expect companies to step up and invest in solutions. And this is one where this problem is this challenge is bigger than all of us. But collectively, we do believe we can address it, which is why we work with partners across whether it's the Alliance Team Plastic Waste, and it's the value chain of plastics or whether it's the Consumer Goods Forum or whether it's the World Economic Forum. These are multi-stakeholder reforms, which to me are the solution. And we all need to put our resources, our funds, our technological capabilities, as well as leadership in this if we're going to address it. Yeah. Very good. Jennifer, when you just respond, it's interesting, isn't it? I mean, to think about this in terms of just the scale of change required. I'm interested from your point of view as you help industry, you're in your own role as well. What do you think are the key barriers here? Because too many of these sessions are just looking at the problems. I find this session actually quite motivating to hear the scale of change going on some of the companies. But what are the real challenges here that you're seeing to make this happen at the speed it needs to? Yeah. I mean, first of all, I was just sitting here listening and going, this is such as you said, Tim, this is such a different approach where we have Pepsi and Coke and Centauri and competitors actually sitting down together to solve some of our biggest institutional global challenges. That's amazing. However, I will say that I think those are often the companies that are already doing the right things that are sitting down together, which is amazing. However, I think we need to really make sure that policy drives the laggards to change as well. Because at the end of the day, we'll just have a lot of great examples of volunteerism of those companies who get it. But if we don't have real policy changes that incentivize and incentivize good behavior and de-incentivize bad behavior and reduce harmful subsidies for things that we know are not good for the planet and for people, then we're never going to have real systemic change. So that's where I feel like the gaps are that we now need to continue with this amazing collective action by the best companies, but then drive change across the sectors through policy and financial incentives. Great. Very clear. And that's an intriguing other session actually in terms of where regulation stops and starts. We've only got three minutes left, so as I could go for some time here. So I'm going to give you all a minute just to leave us with some thoughts in terms of, for the next few years, what is the really big priority in this area? Where do you want to leave your businesses in three to five years' time in terms of this space? And just leave us with a thought. Tak, do you want to just close with something in terms of your vision for Santori in this space? First of all, we're talking about the partnership. Yes, partner. Q, technology. There are so many entrepreneurs in the Santori, Pepsi, Nidhiva, big guys. We want to work with the entrepreneurs with technology. Technology matters a lot. So guys from Silicon Valley and lots of places, they have an idea. We have to shake hands with them. Technology matters. Great. Thank you, Tak. David, any closing thoughts? Yeah, two things. One, it starts at home. We're responsible as a company to develop technologies and solutions that make a difference. We've got a great example, PureCycle, a technology that takes contaminated polypropylene and can turn it into a very high quality use that then has much greater value so it can be collected and processed. We're licensing that out so it can be scaled fast. On the other hand, in addition to doing our own work, as Jennifer said, we have to be part of the bigger solution, putting people and money, resources and money into these collective multi-stakeholder system solutions. It's one of the reasons why I've been involved in this Alliance 10 Plastic Waste. I'm now serving as the chair of that. And the Consumer Goods Forum, being part of organizations like that, working with the Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, World Wildlife Fund, WEF, and many others, absent doing both. Each company making a difference in their supply chain, their products, and the usage of their products, and being part of system solutions that address the broader problems, we won't address it. The good news is both of those are happening, and they're happening at a greater and greater scale faster and faster, which gives me confidence that collectively we can address this. Thank you, David. Jennifer, your final reflections on the, I think we've heard today a little bit of the scale of the reset. It's a challenge for all of us, but it was fascinating to hear what the panel said. What's your final thoughts for us in terms of a challenge, I think? Well, I guess my big challenge, first of all, would be that all the CEOs that are here need to talk to the political leaders to push this change, so that you're not the only ones that are sticking your neck out on sustainability. If we could switch and we could flip the script on subsidies, right now $500 billion a year is spent on farming, forestry, and fishery subsidies that degrade the planet. If we could change even a percentage of that, and who are they going to listen to? They'll listen to us, but they're really going to listen to the CEOs. So if you guys could work more proactively with policymakers to create the incentives for change at scale so that the entire sector will change with you, that for me would be a success. Thank you very much. You've given everyone their homework, so I enjoyed that. So very good. I wanted to thank everyone for firstly attending the session to thank David and Jennifer for sharing so openly some of the best practice. I found it really fascinating the practicalities of this, which was what I was hoping for.


Welcome back to another FNA and today is part two of Animation Demo Real Tips and Tricks and last time was all about the best shot first and general tips and today's all about demorial structure, how to present it, what to include in the length of it and all that good stuff. So first of all a few general tips about your demorial structure and just the content of it. As mentioned in part one whatever you do the content has to fit the company you're sending your reel to. Before you do even anything you got to consider that so if you do anything super cartoony and you send that to a VFX company it's probably not going to be the best idea. Generally content wise just avoid anything about politics and sexual jokes and racial stuff anything that's just offensive and clearly not the content that the company wants to see or wants to be associated with. Also super obvious don't include work from other people don't steal other people's shot it's a small industry chances are whoever's going to watch this is going to go wait I know this shot this is from this and this and this person this is not yours and your toast. Also don't include shots you're not allowed to show maybe you're working on the movie and that movie hasn't been released yet so you're not allowed to put this online unless it's been shown in the behind the scenes or it's a trailer shot but then it has been approved by PR and all the marketing department for everybody to see as general consumption so you can put that on your reel other than that if the movie hasn't been released or anything else that hasn't been released yet you should not show it on your reel especially online if you put it online if you send it to a company maybe if you have permission and you got to put it behind a password wall then maybe but generally when you put things on your reel that have been released on DVD Blu-ray streaming video on the man and so on which also implies that if the movie hasn't come out yet how are you in possession of those shots did you steal that from the company server another big no no don't do that. Now in terms of demoral structure presentation you want to keep your shots clean so only show geometry so don't do anything with controllers or your grid or anything that's distracting you just want to show something very clean yes this can be just a play blast and it doesn't have to be a render unless your shot is 100 awesome and then the render will help but generally if your shot is not 100 awesome and you add lighting it's a bit why did you do this to spend more time on your animation and don't go all that way down to you know all the sound effects and and renders and all that stuff just focus on animation and keep it clean visually. Now only include your best work that's super important you might like this shot that you did 10 years ago and you have good phone memory and all that good stuff but you're going to be judged by the worst shot that's on your reel so only the good stuff in terms of structure your best shot has to come first and I talked about that in part one so generally a shorter reel that's awesome is better than a long one that's kind of eh you want your reel to also be one or two minutes long I think two minutes is stretching it personally if you've seen everything after 30 seconds in a way I mean you don't have to pad it it's a three minute to five minute reel if you just dump everything that you've ever done on it it's kind of it's very boring so keep it to one maybe two minutes I would say one minute is okay shot wise you can even just have three shots on it I've seen a reel and it was pretty cool I gotta find it and it was three shots that person got into blue sky and it showed it was a good variety it was just enough two shots it's kind of short one shot it's kind of arrogant I don't know I want to see a reel that has one shot and that person got a job maybe somewhere but I would say at least three shots and around a minute maximum two minutes because the thing is if you have a reel that's over minute chances are you're going to repeat yourself in in terms of the content of your shots if you have an awesome creature shot or awesome weight assignment shot or awesome lip-sync emotional shot why have two or three of them you're already shown that you can do it so why repeat yourself and make extra long chances are people will be bored and will turn off your reel and miss something awesome that you might have at the end of the reel speaking of ends the end has to end as strongly as the beginning I mean generally your whole reel has to be fantastic right but I would say the best shot first the second best shot at the end and still awesome awesomeness in the middle now you might have shots where you've done the camera where you might have done only the background or you might have done just certain elements so what you could include is the shot explanation meaning that you have either symbols or by text saying camera only all animation or foreground characters and camera or only background so you could include that either text or with icons but the thing is then people are going to be distracted and look up and down so it would be better if you're a shot just everything in the shot is something that you did it will be easier to watch and for the flow it won't be as distracting but of course that is not the reality you might have done just the background so then you just kind of have to let people know through text or icon whatever you want to do you might also include a shot before and after for context maybe it's really important to be seen like that so what I would do is if your shot is not yours just gray it out just have a gray and yours is all poppy with full colors and everything and the next one for context is gray you can always note for context only now speaking of text if you do have your title card or explanations of what it is like a tiny shot real breakdown type of thing right spell check make sure everything is written if you have your name and then animation is misspelled I mean I know it's not the end of the world and you're going to be judged by the content of your reel but still just take the extra time it will show that you just made an effort just check spell check so and speaking of title cards you want to start with maybe I can three second beginning intro card meaning it's your name and character animator the title that you're applying to and potentially even the year like demo reel 2019 but we'll keep it short it's just okay this is who I am let's go and you want to show the shots don't make it 10 15 seconds and no flying logos or stuff coming in or anything that's just boring and I want to get to the reel right away that being said at the end of the reel then I will make it 10 or 15 seconds where you have your name your title and all the contact information and then keep that long just in case someone goes well I gotta write this down a little type it on my phone or whatever sound you make because you type it right but you want to give people time to like okay well let's write this down well that's the link for this and so on and so on but I will keep that at the end and not the beginning because again you want to go straight into your awesome shots the cleanest thing of course would be your name title maybe the year and responsible for all animation and then just the real starts and you got no logos you got no icons or no text you can just focus on your shots that's the ideal thing now you might want to add music so I would just add music that fits the reel so if you have something where it's like an emotional acting shot and you in the background you got some crazy music in the background that's going to be a weird contrast and distract from your shots so if you already add music make sure it adds to the shot it complements the shot it could have high energy or something more quiet worst case just no music now speaking of something loud also make sure that your sound levels are even throughout the reel so if you have your intro whatever and then you have your first shot a certain level and the second shot is really quiet you're like oh I can't I can't hear I missed something in a dialogue if you're in a hurry they might not rewind and they're gonna miss what you just did and the next shot is suddenly super loud like chaos pandemonium and it might turn off the reel I'm exaggerating but anyway keep your shots really at each level has to be the same so for music and dialogue and everything just make sure that everything flows and also sounds consistent now structurized in terms of what you're presenting it's okay to show professional work and personal work it doesn't have to be all separate but maybe your professional work is not always the best thing you've ever done depending on you know feedback and how the shot ends up being so you can add things that you did in your spare time it also shows that you took time to do something that's even better you just want to flesh out your reel it just shows you extra commitment so it's not bad to mix all that and speak of mixing and to me I think it's okay to mix the variety and the order meaning it's not here's a block of all creature here's a block of all lip sync here's a block of all pantomime it might that might also flow in a kind of a boring way where it's just too structured I think mixing it up and kind of showing this and then this and then that it might just you know give it a certain energy to the reel now you might have a shot that's really long where maybe two-thirds are okay maybe the middle part or the ending is not the best just cut it out just show the best part and if everything is awesome but it's a 15 second long shot then maybe show if you can if it's cuttable into beats maybe show one moment then other shots then another moment other shots and then that last moment of that one long shot just always think about how is the flow are people interested or is it is their moment where things become a bit boring now this is all in terms of acting and pantomime and just creature stuff where it's kind of 8 to b but what if you do have cycles I think cycles are okay depending on where you want to send it to I would not have shots where there's a cycle front view and then you repeat that couple times and then a cycle side view will be a couple times in and the top view like it gets really really long so I would just present everything into one shot cycle the couple times so it's not just 15 frames and you missed it but don't make it a minute long but I would show you know a side front three-quarter and maybe a top if needed just gets maybe too busy but definitely a three-quarter or if you want to make it super clean just have the cycle and then it just turns I mean there's the turntable or the camera turns however you want to structure it but so you can see kind of every view but that might again be too long so it might just be one size the three-quarter and maybe a front and side split up in the other half now you might have worked something where you use reference either yourself or reference for creature work or whatever you do I think and I haven't seen this too much but this is just my personal opinion you could show just your actual shot within the reel and when the whole thing is done and you show your title card with your contact information you can always say at the end additional material at the end in terms of like a behind the scenes or how I did it so after that information you show the creature shot whatever you have with a picture in picture with your reference and maybe it shows multiple footage pieces you put together into one block and then you took all this and made this one awesome animation shot it could be cool to see how you went from reference to final animation I'm not sure if you want to show this in the main reel again it's very subjective I will probably just keep the clean shot in the middle and at the very end you can show hey this is what I did and this is the reference that I use them now speaking of the end you might have done a short movie but you know chances are not every shot is awesome or not every shot is a demo reel shot sometimes you have a shot that's very static that works as a story point or a storytelling thing or for contrast but as a single shot on your reel maybe not that good so what I would do is take the best shot from your short put that in your reel and then at the end you can say here's the link if you want to see the full short or maybe even add the full short at the end of the reel if people have time to watch it I'm not sure but that could be something either at the end of the reel or show a link where people can go and they can watch the whole thing that's kind of it those are my two cents to demo real structure I probably forgot things I got a list here but that's kind of what I was thinking about if you have other things that I missed obviously in the comments you can let me know and I can always add that and maybe at the very end of these series I can do kind of a wrap up and kind of add things that I forgot or people suggest it so comments are open of course and that's it for now for part two as always if you watch this till the very end I really do appreciate it if you're gonna like this you can hit like you're gonna subscribe you can hit subscribe and hit that bell button because I do upload a lot so you get all the vacations and as always if you find that all this is helpful you want to apply this to your shots but you want to want to want feedback I do have workshops they're always open you can sign up link in the description the emails and all that good stuff let me know I am always ready for workshops so there you go thanks again for watching and I will see you in my next clip


If the Great Pyramid is indeed a construction to harmonize creation, wherein lies the code to such a great power?


Warning, this game continues jump scares, flashing lights, scary and disturbing content.  Realistic Gaming News. Today we are here on Red Mist. Now if you guys don't know what Red Mist, it's a creepypasta based on Squidward. Red Mist is an alternate character version of Squidward in SpongeBob which pertains in Random Land. Which SpongeBob does visit in one of the episodes. And if you did not know what Red Mist Squidward looks like, he looks a little something like this. Yeah, he looks pretty terrifying right? Alright so with that being said, let's go ahead and jump straight into this and let's see how it goes. Story On 7th January 2000, Squidward was found dead in his house by his friend SpongeBob and Patrick. The Bikini Bottom Police started an investigation but could not find any evidence of a possible murderer and assumed it was a suicide as the gun was in one of Squidward's hands. A few days later, SpongeBob and Patrick were reported missing, lasting entering Squidward's house in the middle of the night. As the Bikini Bottom Police continued the investigations, a secret cellar door was unveiled in Squidward's house. Oh man, that is one quite terrifying story and it says you play as one of the police officers of Bikini Bottom Police. You have to enter the cellar, will you unveil the truth? I don't know man, I don't know if I want to get mixed up in this business. It just damnin' is limited and used it when needed. Well, thanks for the hint. Okay, oh okay, so now we're in Squidward's cellar. It appears like... Okay, let's hope it's all these cans. Why is there so many cans? Is it like canned beans or something? Okay, that is the way we came in.  Dude, it's so dark down here. I do not want to be down here man. Why did they assign me to this? Come on. Okay, dude, it's so dark. Okay, let's just keep on walking and it did say to save your stamina. So let's not try to waste it because we will be needing it later. Okay, can we turn our light off? We can't. Okay, so on the top right it says item zero out of seven. Okay, what is this? A record? Playing some scary music. That's not scary but this is like some creepy vibes, especially being down here by yourself. Okay, so we're supposed to find seven items but what the heck are we supposed to find man? All right, I don't see anything over here. There has to be something in lane here. I mean we do have to find seven things. Okay, maybe behind here. Oh, oh it's that, it's that painting. Okay, so we found one out of seven. Okay, so far so good. We just need six more. Hopefully there's no jump scares. Oh, what is that? Dude, is that SpongeBob's leg? What happened to SpongeBob? Oh, SpongeBob? Okay, so it did say that SpongeBob and Patrick came down here to the cellar and they were never seen again. So it seems like we kind of have an idea of what happened to SpongeBob. That's his leg, it's just there, it's on the ground man, it's covered in blood. Oh no, poor SpongeBob. I wonder what he got himself into. Oh, is this a clarinet? Dude, is this Squidward's clarinet? It was a clarinet. Okay, so now we have two out of seven items. Oh man, okay, we need five more. Dude, is this cellar humongous? So much space down here. Okay, there's so many boxes. How are we feeling? There might be something here. Maybe not. I don't know, we better not get jump scared though. Okay, nothing. Oh, what's this? A spatula. Oh, okay, we got a nice spatula. Is that SpongeBob's spatula? Might be, might not. Who knows? Okay, there it is. Okay, left to right, left to right. Let's go left and then we'll come back this way. He was, he was what? He was who?  It kind of looks like it was Squidward. Dude, is that SpongeBob? He was wrong?  Oh, there's a shell. Okay, we got four items now. Dude, my boy. Oh my God. Man, SpongeBob needs some milk, bro. My God, he literally tore off his leg and his arms. But as we know, Red Miss Squidward is not joking around and he will murder you if you get the chance. All right, well, it was nice knowing you, SpongeBob. It feels so bad for him. He was such a great guy. He was always jolly and happy. Oh, what is that? I hear like, dude, I see a shadow. That looks like Squidward. Oh, Squidward. He disappeared. SB129. Oh, what the heck was that? Okay, I don't know what that was, but that was freaking dude. Okay, so, oh, like SpongeBob's hat or might be Squidward's hat. Dude, there's a pot of blood here. SB129. What is that? Is that like SpongeBob Episode 129 or something? What is that for? I don't know. I'm just making things up right now. Hopefully, we don't get tracked down by Squidward and he slaughters us. All right, we need two more items. Dude, what's up with all this shelving here? Okay, there might be something here. Let's look at the shelves because we don't want to miss an item. Is that? Dude, I think that's Patrick, like one of his limbs. Oh, we found SpongeBob. Now we found Patrick. And yes, that is definitely Patrick. Dude, it's his head.  Oh, man. All right, let's keep on going. What's up with these cans? I don't know, dude. I feel like they might... Oh, it made a noise. Why did the can make a noise? Okay, maybe you have to click the cans and maybe it's like an Easter egg or something. Oh, what's down here? Oh, there's a jellyfish net. I wonder who that belongs to. Okay, we have six items, dude. We need one more. Okay, there's a hallway down here. Oh, my God. Freaking jumpscare. Oh, Patrick. Stop. Dude, what happened to Patrick? He legit nailed him up here and he cut off his head as we seen it back there. Oh, and this is the last item, six out of seven. Okay, is there anything else back here? How are you feeling these cans have something, bro?  You see it did a noise again. What if it's a reference to the canned beans? I don't know, man. It's just an assumption, you know. Okay, we have all our items, though. Poor Patrick. So I guess we turn back and we go towards that hallway. Here goes nothing, man. Wait, I see some writing on the wall. Truth is near. All right, it seems like we're about to find out the truth. And what happened down here? Just as soon as we get out... Oh, my God. Soon as we get out of here. Dude, that red misquit really looks freaky, yo. It kind of looks like Slenderman. Oh, what the heck is that? No, no. Oh, my stamina's gone. No, I'm dead, yo. I'm dead, I'm dead. I must've wasted my stamina. Without even realizing. Death editing. After you have not returned from the basement, the Bikini Bottom Police decided to send a special force of police officers into the basement. They found the bodies of SpongeBob, Patrick, and you in a devastating condition. An investigation was started to explain the deaths, but no clues were found to what really happened. The case was closed a few months later, and the deaths remain a mystery to this day. Man, I wasted my stamina without even knowing. I'm gonna retry to do it because I did collect all the things, and this is death ending. So there might be multiple endings from what it seems like. Alright, so before I got to this part again, I was clicking all the cans, and I think it was a total of three cans that made a noise. When you click on them, so I don't know what that means. Oh, yes, and we're back to this part when we get chased by the red misquitward giant floating head. Yep, there he is. Run, run, run. Come on, this is where you'd use all your stamina. Dude, come on. Oh, dude, that thing is freaky. Come on, dude, do not stop. Oh, I see the ladder. That is our way out. Come on. Oh, and yes, we made it. Oh, please stand by. Wait, what? We're back in the hallway. Okay, this is strange. Oh, I see something. It's like a door. Mr. Krabs did it. Oh, man, what's up with that music? Okay, so SB 129. Bro, what the heck is this? Past, present. SB 129 ending. When you entered SB 129, you were teleported on the day of the Squidward assassination. You caught Mr. Krabs in the act when he tried to shoot Squidward. You overpowered and arrested Mr. Krabs. He was sentenced to prison for attempted murder for 25 years. To be continued.  Like, what's the reason behind that? Who am I? Oh, did you hear that music? That's some creepy pasta music right there. So it says to be continued. So there might be more to this like a part two explaining why Mr. Krabs tried to kill Squidward. I don't know, man. Just kind of leaves us there like wondering what the heck happened. All right. So I guess that is it. Yep. Okay, that's that's the end of the game. All right, you guys. Well, that was Red Mist. Let me know what your favorite creepy pasta is down in the comments below because I know there is a lot of creepy pasta as there's like SCPs and all that stuff. All right, you guys. Well, thank you guys for watching. Thank you guys for making support. If you guys enjoyed the video, make sure to slap the like button, subscribe and turn that notification bell on.

So section 10.3 is made up of three theorems and then we're going to do a couple of example problems So this video goes over two of the arcs and chords theorems And then we'll do two more videos with two practice problems on each All right So what you need to do on your note sheet is first of all copy down this picture what you want to do is show a chord of AB another chord of CD and You should make them look like they're about congruent because the first arcs and chords theorem is what's written here? If two chords are congruent then their corresponding arcs are congruent Okay, so what we're looking at here when we draw this picture is that AB and CD are congruent chords and So that's where this part comes from right here if chord AB is congruent to chord CD Then what has to be true? Well from this theorem what has to be true is that arc? AB has to be congruent to arc CD So not only are the two chords congruent, but their arcs must be now this theorem works both ways So if I told you that the arcs were congruent you would be able to tell me that the chords are congruent So for this first theorem make sure you copy the picture Make sure you copy the theorem and then fill in that if the Segments or the chords AB and CD are congruent then their arcs are congruent Okay for arcs and chords theorem number two again I'm gonna need you to copy down a couple of things on your note sheet first of all I want you to draw this picture So look at what we have here. We have a diameter going from A to B right through the center of the circle And then we have a chord this chord which goes from V to T and Intersects the Diameter at Y so we have diameter AB Chord VT and the chord and the diameter intersect at this point Y Now what I want you to also do is copy down what theorem number two is it says that if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord So let's stop for a second and also put on our picture a 90-degree angle So if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord which we have here the diameter AB perpendicular to the chord VT then it bisects the chord and It's arc So what just happened is? this diameter bisected so cut in half VT and The arc VT so what's happened is we know that v y has to be congruent to T y and arc VB has to be congruent to arc TB So let's go ahead and write or fill in the rest of this statement if BA is remember this symbol is perpendicular right here perpendicular So if BA the diameter is perpendicular to TV the chord then two things are true Vy Which is a chord is? congruent to T y which is also a chord and VB Which is an arc is? congruent to Tb Which is an arc? Now remember the order of these letters don't matter so you could have written v y and y t or b v and b t but the these two theorems Make up what we're going to use for the first set of practice problems so the next video We're going to use these theorems to help us answer some questions


Hi friends, welcome to this problem solving session on polynomials and the question is find the zeros of the quadratic polynomial x square plus 7x plus 12, this is a quadratic polynomial given and you have to verify the relation between the zeros and its coefficients, ok. So, how to solve such kind of problems? Now, let us say Bx is this given polynomial, you can clearly see it is a quadratic polynomial, it is mentioned also that is the quadratic polynomial, ok. And you have to first thing is find the zeros, what is the zero of a polynomial? So, you know a zero of a polynomial is that value of x which makes the polynomial equals to 0. So, Bx will become 0 for such values of x. So, those x values are called the zeros of the polynomial. So, how to find out the zero? So, equate the polynomial to zero and try to solve the quadratic equation you get, ok. So, now you have to find out those values of x for which the entire this value becomes 0, ok. So, we will adopt this writing the middle term and if you see I can write this as x square plus 3x plus 4x plus 12 is equal to 0, isn't it? Now, x can be taken common from the first two terms and it can be written as x into x plus 3 plus 4 times x plus 3 and this is equals to 0. So, hence it is x plus 3 times x plus 4 equals 0, right. Now, product of two factors is 0, we know how to deal with such cases. So, we know that either x plus 3 is 0, ok or x plus 4 is 0. So, this would imply x is equal to minus 3 or this will imply x is equal to minus 4. So, these are the two values of x or these are the zeros of the given polynomial, ok. Now, we have to verify the relationship between the zeros and the coefficients. So, we know that if alpha and beta are basically sum of zeros, sum of zeros is given by I think but minus b upon a, right.  So, a is the coefficient of x square and b is the coefficient of x. So, sum of zeros should be equal to and our given polynomial was what x square plus 7x plus 12, isn't it. Now, clearly a is equal to 1 and b is equal to 7.  Now, the zeros which we have found here minus 3 and minus 4 if you add both of them. So, minus 3 plus minus 4 is also equal to minus 7. So, if you see both are equal, isn't it. So, hence sum of 0 is minus b by a is verified, verified. Now, product of 0 product of product of zeros product of zeros for a quadratic polynomial is given by c upon a. Now, what is c here? c is clearly 12. So, c upon a is 12 upon 1 which is 12 and the product of zeros over minus minus 3 into minus 4 which is equal to 12 again. So, this is verified again. So, both sum of the roots and product of the roots are verified.
