If you want to make animated overlays for Ecamm Live without buying any software, then this video is for you. Hello and welcome to Take One Tech, my name's Alec and today we're going to be talking about making overlays and specifically animated overlays for Ecamm Live. And if you are using Ecamm Live then you must be on a Mac and one of the pieces of software that you can get for free on a Mac is Apple's Keynote.  Much like Microsoft PowerPoint, it's a presentation software, but the inbuilt animation features that it has in it make it ideal for making overlays for Ecamm Live or your video editor of choice. So that's what we're going to be talking about today. There are obviously plenty of other programs specifically for creating animated overlays, animation in video and things like that. But there is a learning curve to those and so the reason why I use Keynote is it's something that I'm familiar with and so it's quite easy and straightforward for me to use it. But I also think that if you are starting from zero then it is also a pretty easy package to pick up and not so complex as some of the other video editing packages. So with that said, let me just now talk about exactly what we mean by animated overlays just so that we're all on the same page. So that would be the sort of thing like I had for my title sequence intro. In fact, if I just play that again, you will see that this is obviously an animation and it's over the top of the video. So you can see that as it fades out, it is over the top of the picture. And then just down there you can see obviously my lower third has just popped in and that is laid over the top of the camera feed that you're seeing in Ecam Live as well. Now I did do a little video which I'll post up into the top corner which was kind of more like an introduction to overlays and the different kinds of overlays that there are in Ecam. But here we're just going to talk about the specifically animated overlays and building them in Keynote. So another example of an animated overlay would be something like this where I'm going to be doing sort of top 5s, top 10s and things like that in my video series in my channel, excuse me. And so yes, having these things just sort of break those videos up and make it clear when you're scrubbing through the video to see where number 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is and so on. And so I made these little animations in Keynote. And so I thought perhaps a good place to start to show you how to make these animations would be if we actually just went ahead and made one of these animations. It's a little bit less complicated than the intro one, but I will do a second video about animations on perhaps the sort of more complex animations that you can do in there as well. So to start with I'm going to flick over to my screen, share my screen rather. And here you can see I've opened up Keynote and it's asking me to choose a theme. Well, we're going to build out our own. You could use this, by the way, if you want to get some ideas for overlays. I mean, these are not specifically intended to be overlays, but you can still nevertheless get some design ideas from here. They've got plenty of different styles to choose from. And so you might want to use those as a base. However, we're just going to start from scratch and design something ourselves. So we're going to select the blank theme, sorry, the black blank theme, but it doesn't really matter the color because we're actually going to make the background transparent. One thing to note before you actually create your image, your file rather, is to make sure that you have the setting here as wide. So that just means it's going to be the same aspect ratio that 16 by 9 is the called the aspect ratio. That's the ratio of the length to the height of the video. And so that will be basically the same as the output that we've got from Ecamm Live or like a 1920 by 1080 high definition screen. So the other option that you have in there is standard 4 by 3 and that would be more of sort of square shape. So we're going to use this wide one because I'm actually going to be making a full screen animation. And then we'll go down and click on create and that will open up a new file. So it will be blank like this. Now actually when you open it up, if you've only just installed the program, it will probably be like this. You won't have any of these inspectors as they called at the side. And so we've just got basically a blank sheet. Now let's have a look first of all at something that we need to do to make sure that the background is transparent. And just so that you understand what I mean by that, if I flick back over to my main screen and then as I play this thing out, let's say we're going to build out the number 10 countdown in our example. You can see how you can see through that number 10 at different times. You can see how it starts off as transparent and you can see my face through it. And then as it fades back out, it zooms out again and you can see through it again. So we need to have that transparency in the video because what we're actually doing in Keynote is we're creating the animation. We're going to export that as a video with that transparency. And then we're going to import that into ECAM live as an overlay and we want to retain that transparency. Now the way that we do that is quite simple. If I go back over to my screen again in Keynote is if we go to the format here, we can see that this is the format of the slide that we're looking at. So what we want to do now is we want to go down to here. You can see the background and you can see that we've got a color fill. Well, we can change that to no fill. Now, incidentally, what you may want to do if you are going to be creating multiple slides is rather than just change it on that one slide that you're looking at there. You could click on this edit slide master here. And when you click on that, you'll see that in fact I've just cropped off the bottom of the screen, which is not very helpful for you. So let me move that up a bit. There we go. So now you can see that edit slide master here at the bottom. That means that you're editing the actual master slide rather than any one particular slide. And there we can go over and change this background to fill and change that to no fill. And that now, once we click on done, will mean that any extra slides that we add into this will also have that transparency switched on. So that's something that's quite important. And one thing to note as well is when you look at the slide, it looks no different because we've got a black background when we've got the background. And if we have no fill, it just shows it as black as well. So it's not easy to see at first glance whether it's transparent or not. You do have to come into this format and the background. So make sure you check that so that you don't go and export it and then only realize afterwards that you have lost that transparency. Okay, so that's the first point to note. Now what we're going to do is let's just go and have a look at what we're actually trying to build. So let me come back and play that animation again. I think it would be useful to just see exactly what the actions are. So first of all, as you see it come in, we've got these two blue panels that move in from the side. There is a sort of yellow background that fades in, but you can see through the number. And that bit's actually a little bit tricky. It's not hard, but it's just something that isn't intuitive inside of Keynote. In fact, it has to be done outside of Keynote, but I'll show you how to do that. It's not difficult at all. So once the yellow and the number has faded in, you can see that there's also like a sort of building out animation of that number. Some sort of little animation of as the number appears. And then after it's stayed on screen for a second or two, then you can see that there's then another animation as the side panels, the blue panels move out to the side, and then the number sort of zooms back out and then fades out into nothingness. So that is what we're trying to achieve. So let's go back to my screen share and I'll show you how we're going to do that. So we've got a text here. If this was blank, then we could simply just go up to here to add some text. But seems how we've got it there. Let's just click in this and we're going to do the number 10, let's say. Let's take this one out because we don't need that. We've only got one number. And now let's just resize this a little bit. I'm just going to bring the edges in just so that it's easier to manage with. So we'll move that there and you can see how as I move it into the center of the screen, it will notify as it will show us where we're on the center. So now that's dead centered in the screen. It's a little bit small though. So let's go over and adjust the text size. So we'll just go into style and then we'll go into text in this top little panel. And once again, there are different panels that you can have in here. So there's either the format palette, the animate or document. So if I switch between those, you can see that these all change down below. So we want to make sure that we're in the format because we're changing the formatting. So there we go. We've got the font picker and the text size. So let's just make that. Let's try 700. Is that going to be a bit too big? I might have to resize the box. There we go. It still looks a little bit on the small side perhaps. So I'll try and change that again. Let's make that 900. There we go. We'll have that like that. And I'm just going to change the font because the font I've been using is this one. In fact, is it? Maybe not. Let's leave it like that then. It doesn't really matter for this demonstration. So there we go. We've got our number and let's just center that in the middle again. Right now, what you'll notice actually is although the sort of bounding box of the text is centered on the page, you can see that the text itself is actually slightly lower down. So although that looks to be centered, because we've got that little horizontal yellow line showing up, it isn't actually centered in terms of the text itself. So I'm just going to move that up slightly. Now, the color of that that I had was that blue color, wasn't it? For the same color as the rest of my sort of theme, if you like, for all of my overlays, which by the way is another important point. If you are going to have a sort of create overlays and things like that for your videos, it's always good to try and have some sort of consistent theme running through them or basically consistent with your brand as well. So now we're going to change the color. Now one thing to note about changing the color, if you're on the text and you see you're in the style page up here, then you might see this fill and think that that is what you need to do to change the color. But actually changing this will just change the fill color of the bounding box that's containing that text. So that's not the one we want. We want to actually go to the rather than the fill here. Let's change that back to no fill. We want to be in the text tab and then I'm going to change that to, this should bring up the color picker. I'm going to change that to this one. Now next thing we need to add is we want to add in our background color because we've got that yellow color. Now if I just zoom out a little bit, which is command shift and the sort of less than sign will zoom out. So if I zoom out there and what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to add a shape into the background. There we go, that one. I'm going to add a rectangle. And if I just pop that up into the top corner and drag it down until it's covering the page. That should be about covering all of the page. It doesn't actually matter if you go outside to be honest. So it's better that you don't have any gaps around the edge. So it doesn't matter if you go outside because when you export it as video, it will only export what is in the actual window itself, the actual frame rather of the slide. So now I'm going to change the color of this one. So now we don't want text color because this is obviously a shape. So we want to go back to the style again and I'm going to change that to the yellow color that I use. Now what you'll see is that obviously we've got the text behind the yellow, which is not what we want. A simple way to change that if I just come out of here is to right click and then you can click send to back and then that will move that thing to the back. Another way that you can arrange things when you start having more complex compositions with more layers in is if you go up to the view menu and then what we want to do is go to show one second. Where has it gone now? It's somewhere in here. Show object list, that's the one. I knew it was there somewhere. So what that will do is it will show you the things that you've got. So we've got the number and we've got the rectangle. And it's useful to have this down the side because it means that you can just flick between things even if you can't see them because sometimes with more complicated animations you may have things that are sort of hidden from view when you're working on it. So you want to be able to select them. Now these are quite obviously quite clear what they are but it's also possible to name these things. So it is a good thing to get into the habit of naming them. Again, not so much with simple things like this but when you start making things that are more complex it makes it easy to see the objects that you're looking at. So that's obviously quite obvious that that's the yellow rectangle. The next shape that I'm going to add in is those sort of triangular sections that come in from the side and the easiest way to do those is actually just to scroll down here just grab one of these shapes and make sure it is as high as the... as tall as the frame and then we can just move it out of the way. We've got there our shape. We don't need to spend the time to actually draw it exactly to the shape we need it because this does the job perfectly well and the bit that's off the screen you don't see anyway. So next I'm going to change the color of that to be our sort of blue. Is it blue? Is it green? Bluey green I'm not sure but that color anyway and then I'm going to move copy another one of those so by the way just so that you know I'm pressing down alt on the keyboard and dragging and it will make a copy of that so any time you hold down the alt and drag it will... or the option it will duplicate the shape. So there we go that is something like we've got in that animated overlay that I showed you. Now there is actually another little problem that we've got here because if we have a look at that animation once again you'll see that the number in the middle is transparent at some point and in fact although we can make items transparent I could click in the... let me go back here so you can see what I'm doing I could click in this number and I could go to the color fill and I could select the color and then I could change the transparency of it so as you can see I'm fading it out because it is becoming more and more transparent but if I make that transparent we've still got the yellow background behind it and one thing that you cannot do in Keynote as yet is do a... it's called a layer mask and actually it's an inverts mask because what we need to do is we want to tell the yellow background to have a gap essentially where this... the number 10 is what you can do in here in terms of masking is you can create a shape so I could create any shape like this and I could actually take a photograph and drop it into that shape and it would automatically mask the photograph to be that shape so that's great for an overlay for example a static overlay where maybe I don't know if you want to have your picture in or whatever it is related to your channel or whatever you're producing and you want to fix that into a particular shape you can do that that way but you can't say that I want to sort of cut this shape out from what's behind it you can't do that reversing of the mask like you could in something like Photoshop or something like that so there is a little way that we can get around this though and first of all what we need to do is we actually need to make a image of the background with that number 10 missing from it and there's an easy way that you can do that again which is free and what I'll need to do for this though I should have probably done this before adding in these two shapes if I just move those out of the way slightly because we don't want those getting in the way what I'm going to do now is I'm going to export this as an image so the way we do that is we go to file export export to image and we want to just we've only got one slide if you had multiple slides you would select this specific slide that you had and we want to create an image and specifically it needs to be a PNG file because PNGs you can have a transparency whereas you can't with JPEGs so we'll select PNG and we don't need to worry about that because we haven't got actually got any transparency in there just yet we would use that if we did have some transparency so first of all we just need to export this and so I'm just going to export this now to I should have a little pop-up that's come so if I just drop that into my desktop rather and I'll just call that 10 simple so I'll export that as number 10 and now what I can do is I can open that up in preview if I come over to my desktop it's right on the other side of one of my other screens here so if I open that up in preview one second and I'll drag it across over onto your visible screen okay so there we go that is now opened up in the preview window make that a little bit smaller so that you can see it properly and so what we want to do is we want to tell it to get rid of this number 10 so that we can see through it and there is actually a simple tool that we can use to do that which is in the markup tools at the top here so this is just preview when you when you download the or export the picture rather when you open it open it in Apple's preview you may have something else as a default but preview is the default if you're just on a Mac and haven't selected otherwise so then we go up to here and it's this little instant alpha so alpha is basically the transparency so you'll sometimes see if you look for images on the web for example if you search for alpha images with transparency then you can find ones that have got transparency in them but we're going to do it ourselves so we're going to click in the in the place that we want to make transparent and then I'm holding down the mouse button and I'm going to drag and you can see how it shaded that area red that is the area that it will make transparent now if you've got sort of more complicated things where you haven't got something that's quite so strikingly different between the two colors you may need to click and hold and drag until it highlights all of the area that you want to remove and if I keep dragging with my button my fingers still on the mouse it does actually select the whole area so basically the amount that you drag is kind of I suppose like the sensitivity of what it's going to actually remove so there we go I've highlighted the number one and if I just press delete now it's actually removed that and it looks black behind but that's actually just the background of the window because it is now transparent so if I do the same on the other one like that then we've now got a picture of a background with a transparent number 10 so now I'm going to close this one down and save it and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to drag this image into my presentation so I'll just drop that in there so now we've got a number 10 in there and if I just move it around like this you can see how it's it's the number 10 with a transparency in it so now that I've got that in there I actually don't need this rectangle anymore so I'm just going to delete it for the purposes of this particular animation at least so we've got in our viewer at the side you can see we've got our number 10 background and we've got let's just call this it's obvious what it is isn't it but let's just at least put it like this because you'll see when we come to do the animations it will make it more obvious exactly what it is and then we've got our two parallelograms here so now can you see how that's behind it and before I showed you how you can do center front or center back so you can also move them forwards or backwards or things like that but actually if you've got this view open at the side this is also the order as they are stacked up if you like as layers on the image so we can just drag this down here because we want this right at the back and then now you can see it's disappeared behind this parallelogram because that is now on the very bottom of the stack which is where we want it so now I'll drag this other parallelogram in from the other side just like that and get it about where we want it and what we could do as well is just so that it's clear which one's which we've just got them both called the same because it's just the default name given to that particular shape so let's call this one left and then let's call this one right because now it will be very clear when we come to do our animation which one is which so the first thing that we're going to do is begin by just bringing in the doing the sort of the intro part of the animation now the animation is all done again using a palette up at the top so we're going to change from the format to the animate palette so if I click on that one now now we have got a different set of controls here and we're going to use this to add different effects now if I click on a particular shape what we've got is basically there are three types of effect that we can add or groups of effects they're either building in transitions so something that's going to bring that shape from from out of the scene into the scene then we've got an action that can be performed on it whilst it is in the scene and then we've got a build out so you can only have one build in transition per particular object that you've got in your file you can only have one build out because it can only obviously come in once and go out once but you can have multiple actions in the scene itself so we'll come on to some of the actions that you do within the scene when I do the second video which is about a bit more slightly more complex animations but for now we only need to build this in and then build it out so if you think about the animation that we had before I'll just show you what we need to do first I'll just come over to that one and you can see that what's going to happen is we need those two sides to come in we need the yellow background to fade in and we've got that little animation of the number actually building out as well so let's have a little look at how we do that so let's do the number first because that one looked probably look the most complex didn't it but in actual fact it's just as easy as all of the other parts because what I'm going to do now is I'm going to having selected the number you can see I've selected the number then you can see it's selected from this side as well just click on add an effect when you click on add an effect you've got all of these different types of effects that you can use and if you click preview it will show you what it's going to do so that one just appears that's a bit boring you could have something blurring in or compressing there's all these different effects so go through and play around and you'll get an idea of what those all do but what we're going to do here is actually one there's some by the way that are specific to text that you might not get with other ones so I think that some of these ones where the text sort of drops in from above some of them are a little bit cheesy and so we don't want to go overboard with animations you can get carried away with seeing all of these different things you can do and yeah it's very easy to get carried away maybe I have already who knows you can let me know in the comments if you think that I've gone a bit too far with any of mine but I'm going to use this one so it's just a simple function that is built in so there's no sort of extra work required and it just has this effect of building out the number in that way and I think that looks quite nice without being too over the top so we can preview it here by clicking on the button on the side but then we can just when we've decided that's the one we want we just click on it like that and it then appears this then opens up this window which has a few extra controls so we can control things like the speed of it so if I want to make it a bit quicker which I think I do because it's taking two seconds it's probably a bit long so let's change that to one second and preview so there we go you can see how long that takes to build out and then you can also change the direction of it as well if you want preview that in fact I don't think that does a huge amount for that one maybe if it had more text it would but in any case so that is the first animation and then we also want that background to fade in and the side panels to move in so let's do the side panels first and I'm going to do again just add an effect and these ones we want them to move in from the side so that one is doing what we wanted straight out of the box let's click that I'm going to make that a little bit quicker so I'll make that half a second instead of a second and then this bounce thing is just to do with when it finishes its move or when it starts its move you'll see it better on the move out actually but it just has a bit of a bounce in the opposite direction before it moves so I'm going to take that off for this one and then here we're going to do the same move in but what you'll see here is moving in from the opposite side whereas I want this to move in right I want it right to left so now you can see that that is moving in next we are going to take that bounce off next we're going to have the background move in as well and what we want to do for that is I just want that to fade in so here we have an action called dissolve and that is basically just it just fades in which is what we want so I'm going to select that and change the time to half a second and then now what we can see is if I go and sort of preview this in fact let me just bring up another window which will help with this if I go to window sorry view, thank you pardon and then if we go to one second ah there we go it's already shown that's why I'm having difficulty looking for it it's shown somewhere on my desktop but I can't quite see where it is in build order ah there it is it was hiding underneath so in a similar way to the way we've got the layers down the side then this one is the build order now what I'll do is I'll just I'll hide this one down the side here this is just the slide so if you've got multiple slides they'll appear here but we're only using one at the moment so I can change that from here to slide only and then I'll just drag this over this way a little bit so then we can put the build order because this is basically the order of things happening in the animation itself so this is going to be useful in terms of setting up our animation a little bit better because what you'll see is if I preview the whole animation so in the same way before that we could preview for individual components of the animation here I can preview for the whole thing and what you'll see is it does one bit then it does the next bit and then it does the next bit which is not what we want we want it all to happen together now what you can do is when you select a any part of the animation can you see also here the reason why it's useful to name your objects in the left-hand column because then when you create your animation the name will be here as well so it just makes it easier to see which part you're looking at if you have got them all properly named so what we want to do is we've got the first bit here which is the number 10 that's all fine I've set the time of it and everything's okay with that but this one here we want it to happen at the same time well down at the bottom you can see that we have this action start and at the moment it's set to on click now what that means is if you are doing this in a presentation using Keynote as a presentation software which is what it's intended for then you would have liked a little clicker or do it with a mouse click to move to the next slide or in this case to the next part of the animation well what we want is we want this to all happen with the previous action so I can click in here and change that to with build 1 so each of these steps by the way is called a build so you can see they're numbered build 1, 2, 3 and 4 and so we want build 2 to happen with build 1 and similarly number 3 we want that to happen with build 1 as well we could have it to start immediately after number 2 but we want it to happen instead of on click but we want it to happen with build 1 and the same for that background so now we've got all of those happening together and so if I preview that you can see that everything is happening together now don't be put off by the fact that we seem to have some black in the background because bear in mind that anything that you're seeing as black at the moment will actually be transparent when we export the video so that should all work as we want it to do having had everything build in is we then want it to wait a little bit and then all build out and basically as it builds out it's going to do more or less the same as it did to build in I'm just checking to make sure I've got the right things here so the first one we want to do is we want to build out that background so we've already got the build in action but now I'm going to click on to build out and add an effect and I basically want that to just fade away much as it appeared in the first place in fact this should be the number that I'm talking about that's the one that I want to fade out so let's build out that one and I'm going to have that to dissolve like this because if you remember from the animation it the number fades away so it becomes transparent and then the whole number zooms towards us so let's just have another quick look sorry to keep going back to this I hope it just makes it a lot easier to understand what we're trying to achieve so you saw the last little part there that number five came sort of zooming out of the screen so that's what I'm going to replicate now in my in my animation so we've got the dissolve for the number and again on the timing I'm just going to put that as half a second in fact that one's going to be a second I'm going to have the others move out a little bit quicker so next we want to do the left and right and we want those to move out so let's build out add an effect, move out like that and can you see that little sort of jump it does before it starts to move out that was the bounce thing that I was mentioning earlier so I'm going to take that off and then the next one we're going to do is the left side and build out, add an effect move out again and we want that to go the other way so we'll change that right to left notice how you can also have it going any which way you want, up, top to bottom, left right, whichever as you can have it going down or wherever but obviously I'm using right to left take that bounce off I'm going to drop the time of those down a little bit zero point three seconds zero point three seconds these may not sound like long times in terms of talking about fractions every second about getting into more complicated animations just bear in mind you don't want things to take too long we're not trying to create a feature length animation so there's a balance between having some level of action and activity and overdoing it I think so these ones we want to all happen together as well so I'm going to have the right happen with that dissolving of the number so with build number five with build number five as well and then the last one is that we're going to have that zooming effect so I'm going to just add in here a build out and this is actually something which is called scale so you can see that is basically just scaling slightly before disappearing so it's scaling and fading at the same time again play around with these there's other slightly different scaling one that's even bigger but you can play around with those and see which ones you like and again on the timing I'm just going to have that so it's happening second with the other things if I change that to one second here so basically the number and the actual scaling thing happen in a second whereas the other two happen slightly slower than that slightly quicker than that and the background zoom feature we want to happen with build five as well now the part that I've missed out is the start time of this build here because we want this to happen after the background but we actually want them to be a delay because we want it to stay on screen for a certain amount of time so here we'll click on start after build four and then we're just going to put a delay in here of let's say 1.5 seconds and now if I play the whole thing what you'll see is we've pretty much got something that looks like what you saw earlier now the only thing is I just noticed that yeah those two didn't quite come in at the same speed so I'm just going to change that to 0.5 seconds as well and now it should look a little bit more balanced when those two slide in and that is animation created so the next thing we need to do is get that into Ecamm live and so what we need to do is we need to export that as a movie so just as we did with an image we'll go to file in the top here file export to and then we should have a movie so click on movie now I'm just going to change this because when you start keynote as a default what you'll find in the movie settings is down here at the bottom you have a compression type h264 and that's fine for most things however you can't have a transparent background using that setting so one thing we need to make sure we change is this one this is the most important thing to get right in terms of this video otherwise the whole transparency won't work and just come down and select this one the apple pro res 444 so we click on that one and now you can see that we can toggle this one on and off and we want to export with transparency so leave that checkbox on in terms of the resolution I'm using 1920x1080 which is the same as the video that I'm using in Ecamm and then also the frame rate 30 frames per second but you can change that to whatever frame rate you want to match your settings just coming back up to the top there is a couple of other settings to be aware of we do want this self-playing because we want obviously all of those animations to play on their own we also want the slides we've only got one slide so it doesn't matter that we've got all selected but bear in mind if you were making multiple different videos within the same file each on its own sort of slide then you would want to make sure you specify the exact slide that you want to export the next two components are go to next slide after so that would be if you did have a series of slides you could have a pause built in for the transitions between slides bearing in mind that the whole use of this software is intended for creating presentations you can see how you might want to if you created a presentation in Keynote and you wanted to export that as a video to play as a presentation then you might want to build in the sort of pauses between flicking from one information slide to the next similarly, if you've got multiple builds where normally you would operate them with a clicker of some form or a mouse click then you can actually build that into here as well now we don't need any of that because we've set all of our timings up exactly as we want the only thing to bear in mind is this last one here go to next build after or go to next slide after rather will mean that once the animation has finished playing it will pause for that many seconds before going on to the next slide or in our case as we only have one slide before ending the video so we want that set to zero because we want our animation our video animation to finish at the time that our animated sequence finishes so if we just set both of those to zero that's the last thing we need to do so just to recap checking that you've got these to zero and also make sure you have this one set with transparent backgrounds and now we'll export that so click ok or next and then we'll just call that ten as well and there we go for this example that's fine now I'm saving these to my desktop just for this demonstration but one thing to bear in mind is when you actually come to import these from into Ecamm Live which I'll show you shortly is the path to the video is where Ecamm Live is going to look for that overlay any time it needs to use it so it's good to have a folder on your computer somewhere where you keep all of your animated overlays and you always know that that's where they are and Ecamm will always just point to that location if I put this file on my desktop and then I go and move it somewhere else the link with Ecamm will be lost it won't sort of track where it's been moved to so it's important to make sure you always keep your resources and assets and things like that for your productions in a sort of organized manner and somewhere where you always know where they are and where you're not likely to accidentally move them tidy them up or anything like that and yeah definitely best not keep them all on your desktop since I use my desktop as kind of my desktop working space so it's just sort of things that I'm doing generally day-to-day then I'm putting it there for the moment just temporarily while I give you this demonstration so if I come over to my Ecamm Live what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to move my whole Ecamm Live setup I've got it on my large monitor and I want to move it somewhere where it's going to be easier for you to see so just bear with me while I do this by the way I'll make all of these videos as you can tell with no editing and I do them all sort of like on the fly as I go along so it means that there's points in them like this where I'm sort of tidying stuff up and I'll be really interested to know what you think about these sort of videos do you think that it is better to have heavily edited all of the gaps and things like that moved sort of faster paced videos or is it okay to have some little bits like this where people are just actually showing you the reality of getting things done be really interested to hear fingers crossed I don't have to do much editing because it's not something I enjoy but there we go we're really interested to hear about that so incidentally that would be a great point wouldn't it to say if you have got any comments and you've liked what you've seen so far then don't forget to ask any questions leave any comments in the video and then also don't forget to give it a like and subscribe I'll be making a whole series of videos specifically about Ecamm I've already made a few and I'll be making some more because it is a piece of software that I'm using quite heavily at the moment for not just this channel but for some other production work that I'm doing as well so yeah it'd be if you're interested in this sort of content then click that subscribe button and you'll get notified whenever I make any more have you done it yet I'll be back great excellent so that was a bit cheesy wasn't it so anyway what I'm going to do now is I'm going to show you my whole screen one second I'm going to find the right button on my stream back I moved it around earlier and that has meant that I've forgotten exactly where it is so now you can see in my stream this is in my Ecamm Live you can see I've got my scenes down one side and I've actually made mine all as my countdown time is here all as individual scenes and that's not necessarily the only way to do it there is another way but I shall explain why a little bit later so what I'm going to show you now is how do we get our scene overlay into Ecamm Live and it's really easy it's not difficult at all so let me just take this is my main view I'm just going to duplicate this one because it's just a simple scene with a oops let's do that one let me just take that one off I'll do my main scene so I'll take this one and I'll just drag this down here I'm just going to work with this one and I'll stick this at the bottom down here right so what we want to do is we've got a scene with my camera and image in and what we want to do is we want to put that overlay over the top of it I've done another video specifically about overlays but just to recap in case you haven't seen that in the overlays window which by the way is this toggle here and that basically shows and hides that window and so if we show that window then what you can see is down at the bottom you've got different kinds of overlays so we've got either picture overlays video animated overlays which is the one we're going to use text overlays which are things like text so like if I wanted to add in things like my website link which might be a good place to drop that one in a bit of a cheeky excuse really to do that isn't it so yeah my website is take one tech.io and that is basically just a text overlay then we've got a countdown if I use that one in my live stream so it just sort of counts down to when the start of the live stream edge is I've got some widget overlays which are basically you can link to things like series just decided to activate herself for some reason beg your pardon so widget overlays are things like this one I could put my by me a coffee link so that is that's the background I made but this link over the top here you can see if I just come out of demo mode this is a link at the bottom that support me at by me a coffee slash take one tech is just an html piece of code that goes in there from by me a coffee and it puts that widget into the bottom corner of the screen and in fact if I was on a live stream as well and somebody did actually go to by me a coffee and bought me a coffee coffee cups empty then that would pop up over the top of the screen there as well so that is another type of overlay so if I come back into the demo mode at second one away now and we've also got a folder that you can add I'm sorry beg your pardon there's also camera overlay so you can add other camera feeds over the top of the screen and then we've got folders so that you can organize them so I just sort of tend to group things together and make it a bit easier to sort of navigate around but in any case what we're looking to do is add a video overlay so I'm going to go down to the bottom and click on this one that looks like a little picture with the whoosh marks behind it so I'm going to click on that and that will bring me up that's actually my desktop so there we go that is the movie that we made so I'll click on open and you can see it's actually just dropped in automatically at the right size and what we need to do now is we just need to check here this little play button sometimes you've got these other so I've got control here for the camera that I'm looking at and then I've got some other controls but this one with the play button that's actually the play button for that movie because bear in mind that overlay is just simply a movie. There's some different actions that you can have on that so you can make sure it's selected to auto play because in this case what we're doing is building this out as a scene so that when it comes to this scene it plays automatically but then when it finishes there's some different options such as hide it but we've built in the hidden feature really because it actually hides as part of the video so otherwise it would stay on the sort of last scene of it or we could loop it if it's something you just want running continuously as a sort of something in the corner little animated logo or something like that you could select that to loop and it would just constantly be looping in the bottom corner but we're going to select do nothing now what we've done is we've got this scene so here I'll just call that Countdown 10 and what you'll see is if I just click back to my main scene which looks exactly the same you won't notice any different but we don't have the Countdown in there if I click on to the main scene now double click then what should happen is one second I changed it from auto play that had me stumped there for a moment so remember I said don't forget to make sure you have auto play checked then I must have unchecked that by mistake so let me try that again this is where editing would come in really useful isn't it so I'm going to go down here and I'll double click on the Countdown and now there you go it comes in automatically so the reason why I have these set up so you can see now in my scenes down this side here you can see that I can sort of flick between them and I can scroll between them I actually have these all linked on my stream deck so I did a whole video about how I used my stream deck with Ecamm live so I'll link to that in the top corner but basically I have buttons assigned to each of these scenes and that's how I go between them one thing you could do is rather than have a scene where the the number the animation plays automatically as part of the scene I could equally just have them set up as an overlay because what you'll see is if I go back to that scene in fact you can see that that overlay is just in my list here and it's set to play with that scene but one thing I could do is I could just do much like I'd done with the Buy Me a Coffee link for example you could just have the overlay being activated by stream deck so it would play that video whenever you press the button and that might be more appropriate for if you're just wanting to do something like for example you know a don't forget to like and subscribe thing over the top you just want it to play over the top because that way you could have it play in any scene in fact that's much like I've got with if I come out of my demo mode a second you can see that I've got that one and then I've also got my lower third for example so I can activate that overlay from any particular place so what's the reason why I have them set up on individual scenes well that's because for this use case these are sort of countdowns and I actually always want it to revert to the full frame shot so basically if I demo a piece of software or something like that and then I want to go on to the next piece then when I press the countdown I want it to come back to the full on shot of me I've made a video all about how you can use stream deck to activate these overlays and scenes so I'll leave a link to that up in the top corner but in the meantime if you have found this video useful then please do go and leave any comments down in the box below and don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel and then yeah I shall be posting the next video about doing some slightly more advanced animations in e-cam live shortly I've got a whole series as I say about e-cam live specifically and another whole series about stream deck how you can use those in other areas of your work and life as well but for the time being I hope you found that useful and don't forget to check out those other videos up there and I'll see you in the next one have a great day everyone


We watched it in 3D. Can we do that, please? No. Is this a 3D file? No. It's not anymore. The white screen is curved, so that's sort of 3D. I demand 2D. If this is the 3D one, you know there's going to be like, really hidden things. We're like, things go to the screen. Oh, God. Josh, you're white. I want to look up how many things fly towards the screen. I want Milozovich to throw a scythe at the screen. Jay, do the intro this time. Hello, we're going to all dive.   Kara5. Kara5? Okay. Right. It's the final car, and that's what it is. Is there a three-year gap between all of them, then, or? Three-year gap between all of them, yeah. And so they called this one, Fyldeves is the final destination for. Did they reboot, and we got to the fourth one of those already? Every reboot where you just put the... Or if they're already, you remove them. That's how it's done.  Yeah, final destination, final destinations, then final destination three. So here we are. The adventure continues. Prometheus. We've seen lots of deaths at this point. Little many left, because it only gets more excessive from what I remember. Oh, wow. Now, I think I've seen this one, because I remember the big event thing that kills everybody, and several of the deaths in this one. So I'm pretty sure I saw it when it came out. But I hope they don't end up being worse than three. I hope that we're in a Resident Evil situation where we circle back around. That's a big hope. Yeah, but what if they like... I'm hoping we can entertain them value better, you know? Just, I'm hoping. Yeah, I know I've seen both of the next films. And something concerns me about the fact that I remember very little about both of them. Yeah, it's the same for me. I have never seen this one, so... Well, excitement. Let's find out. Only one way to reignite our memories. I'm so sorry. Go! This is from the same director as the second film. Oh, good. Oh, good. It's like on a planet. Oh, good. Great. What is that? We've got a ladder.  Oh, are those 3D? Is the logo going to be in 3D? Oh, right, yeah. They're already doing it. They're already doing the 3D. They're already doing the 3D. Okay, sometimes I want to escape my boring 2D life and watch a 3D film, okay? Have some respect. Oh, jeez. 2D is... Ooh, a race? It's going to be... Whoa, this is hard. Rock and metal. Extreme. Thank you. Go fast or left. Genuine question.  What would it be? Um... I'll get back to you.   What? Mass shooting? I don't know. VLC, you just close to me. The file isn't doing anymore. I don't know if mass shooting would work because it requires an actual person to be doing it. You want to try and do it from the beginning? On tariff and everything? On tariff and everything? But usual rags has no idea what's happened. What? I'm just going to... I'm just going to... I swear to God I can make a montage at this point. Were we loud cars in the movie? Yeah, we're loud cars, but so many people were talking rags about stuff that wasn't due with cars. And everyone else heard it. My cars were loud. Really loud. So you can get the volume on your computer. Yeah, I did. But I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss any of the details of the film. So he cranks the volume of the film up and just talks because he doesn't care about what anyone else said. No, I can hear it. I heard YMS's shooty thingy. No, I can hear it. Sink my mouth. Sink my mouth behavior. My rags ain't got time for our commentary. I mean gaslet. Wait, one minute. One minute. And one minute and zero seconds. Just a second. I have to... There's a space between 59 and 02. I got to... Start at 59, press play, and then press pop. I know I did. I did that. I'm waiting now. I'm really appreciative that Yves could give you these clues as to... That's how I die. 59 seconds of something. I could have reset the movie further than one minute by now. Vroom. Vroom, vroom, zoomies. Yeah, they're saying like... Look at all these zoomers. Shift up, shift down. Head stop.  Is the cargo going to crash into the stands? You know what? I'd be interested in seeing a movie about loads of different racing drivers, because I imagine they're probably an interesting set of characters. My guess is it's going to be a lot of audience members who get killed by a car flying into them. That's Butch's wife. Something I've just noticed is that this film feels distinctly late 2000s compared to the rest of them. It is 2009. Also, 2009 is what I'm saying is I'm saying like, even the third one feels more like earlier than later, this feels like it's not with the rest of them. He got so many Pepsi, he broke the seat. Too much Beppis. That's where you get dying. Yeah, that's 2009. It was probably out of every single year, the year that they pushed 3D the hardest. Like this was the same year as Avatar, right? Avatar, that's right. The further away you get from 2009, the less 3D there is that they're trying to push. What you're saying is that this film is going to look as good as Avatar? Is the car going to fly directly towards the screen? Wait, wait, wait. So it's not about the racers. They're just going to, it's just going to hit a crowd of people. We don't know. You know what? We don't know what's going to happen. The racers don't matter. That could be, could be they subvert us and this is just a happy day out and then they go home and get killed. The racers all survive. Is that a dolphin?  My hand is a dolphin. I don't think they let dolphins on tracks anymore. Not ever since that one time. Would you like me to move down a bit? Would you mind? Big glad to. Thank you. What a nice guy. He was nice. See, that guy was nice. He's going to get the horrific death. Well, no, he might have been saved because of that.  Yeah, maybe. Or he moved into the path of some horrible, terrible fate.  But these ends, he can't hear the screams. We need that. It's a point in every child's life where they have to say, oh, mom, not tampons. Oh my God. I thought those were earplugs at first. I was going to say this. Well, mom, thanks. I can't see now.  I mean, yeah, you know, if you just stand up now. Yeah, you should know what you're doing. There goes the neighborhood. Oh, because of the security. Oh, my God. Whoa. Wow. He bought way too much Pepsi. Yeah. The sugar is getting in between the cracks of the granite. Yeah. It's sadding. So the whistling man is credited on IMDB as racist. I was trying that out. In this movie? That is his character, you see. Oh, no. I don't recognize him from the signal. That is goo. That's annoying. That is racist. That's a lot of oil in there.  Oh my God. It's way too much oil in there. Oh, it is. No one noticed that. Damn. Oh. Oh. It's another dolphin. That was another dolphin sound. That was definitely a dolphin. Yeah. 2009 was a time for experimentation. 100%. That was just. Those are just straight up. Yeah. It looks like death is cheating about what he's like.  I get a few. Come on. That's the eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. One eight. Two. So, look at what we got. We have the three. One eight. Two. One eight. Two eight. Three. Three. One eight. One eight. That would be, like, more than 30 for us. We have the five. Um, Oh, it's actually on TV. Wouldn't it be a deal, Wision seeing our lives in terms of I would be very difficult.跑 would have been hard.  Any question? Shitty. T-shirt. Runaway. Hi. There are some things, like, that's concerning. Man, does it get cold here?  No, I think you would have just said wind right not like something touched me Don't feel the death chilies death putting his willy on people. Oh, wow. Good job guys Way to go Thanks, Melvin You Melvin all the screw driver to get all leather All his fault Whoa 3d That one like light in my face for real in real life We just came from a rat creating a horrific subway That's no good He's fine.  This is from the director of the second So every terrible final destination film has directed a good one What happened?    I don't think I've seen this one I don't know, but I guess someone's just talking about how cheap this one might have been that might explain why I think that Let's look up the budget because I do Most money this one really Okay, hence why they made if you were able to charge three dollars more per ticket Does anyone ever have a premonition of just like going to the bathroom and everything's fine All the time By the way be really funny That was a Oh, is it gonna be instant what yep, there it is My racist How we don't know if the wife is raised Oh Look look it's a recap I'm sorry Adam you mentioned that that guy was credited as racist on IMDB You've not mentioned that the second credited character is just credited as milk Oh The CGI in these so they thought this was the last one then when they made this Unless she's including Subway or the show any from the first one. I think yeah, it was one or two which one's that one I guess when 3d was hyped this would have been cool I Like the idea though that all eight of us were in the cinema when this first came out We're all just booing and throwing popcorn at the screen Why does it say it's coming on the fucking table Man they have rushed the just the I don't know the fun of the opening Remember like how they used to be billed up You've seen it before To know people face they're supposed to give us characters who the fuck roll these people and I don't know if it's just me But it's like the quality of the filming like this looks like a TV episode This looks like an episode of like There's just no passion in the series anymore. We lost all the passion. Yeah, where did the love go? Filmmaking Anybody care to make any guesses about the budgets I will tell you that No, I won't tell you anything. What was the budget of the first one any guesses 20 million? 30 million 40 million. All right. It was 23 million. What was the budget of the second one 30 million 30 million Have we had that since 26 million only three million dollar difference The third film Actually, no stick to 30 because of inflation Imagine you were like it is exactly 25 million What is the budget of this current film we're watching? I'm gonna go with 20 It is 40 million 25 million and this one's just the budgets like almost double You actually if you're doing like native 3d filming it actually is complicated and expensive I don't think they did the 3d in post I think they probably actually shot it in 3d and that has its own set of challenges and makes your film look worse even Highest budget literally and worse looking True This one definitely doesn't look because the other ones had that late 90s early 2000s look them in terms of the film and now this one is like modern, but it's Yeah Yeah, it was shot in 3d Wow, he is a racist He has a whole Nazi tattoo on his arm. Did you see it in the beginning and he's a hook neck already He believes in fish hook theory your time's coming Expression of racism I've ever seen the hard are to Like calm down Oh my god, I don't know guys.  Oh?  I actually have I honestly don't remember how the people die in this except for I somehow remember the fifth I'd be more than I remember this There's just a good book I just I always wish you'd listen to a song was just like I just found out where he lives oh god, how do you know what I feel like I've missed something Is he gonna go kill the black guy? I guess he blames a security guard for his wife being dead I'm pretty sure he's just gonna carry it on his back like Jesus Speak to the person who made this Going the extra mile We'd be friends right now Oh my god That makes a bet as much sense is like the special edition DVD where they just walked into the weightlifting the gym He just died Can we just agree these films definitely got worse like It'd be funny on the news if they said he's expected to make a full recovery in the house Daniels I shouldn't say that I should say racist. Yeah They won't remember his name.  Can we can't remember what it was. He had a name the black guys existed.   There's a particular death. I am waiting for A I mentioned it in our first recording, but hopefully everyone's forgotten by now. What are we wagering waffle? Oh, oh no a stone. He's gonna run over it With this mower and hit someone in the head remember the cigarette They're starting on the death's way Yeah, we are This is the shortest runtime so far.  Isn't that terrible? Someone got dragged on the street on fire doesn't mean you can't go to work That man made the ultimate sacrifice so a lot of people can have the day off. He cleared those goddamn streets, okay I just want to know how he's gonna follow through with the cross burning He seemed to I don't know what his plan was like you need to do a lot more than just like digging for to someone's head Do you have chloroform like how are you gonna get him up there by yourself? I think you have involved multiple people. What if she clippers the whole face off? Oh my god, we're we're seriously doing the trying to make you scared of haircuts See This is funny like dentists made sense because there's already anxiety associate Nobody's like nobody's like this about haircuts, right? I couldn't even walk the dentist scene as long as we get some zooms in of like the scissors and different things We'll freak everyone out. Oh, she's got a tinfoil hat so that the brainwaves from the government don't control her mind Nice See the stuff to zoom in on stuff and it makes you go What's with the noise 3d toe Move on to another toe.  You're going into space What if this thing cooks it? What is that?  Yeah, are there no building codes in this universe? Nope.  This is just america Is it slipping Someone's Water does that underneath like cups and yeah, it'll make the cup move across I guess we're in the wind just doing that from the fan What's a it was a glass Oh my god, that was a bad guy.   No, but I'm desperate for anything to be entertaining here.  I thought she was quite attractive. No, that's what I said I said she was Listen, I said I'm gonna have to disagree with you rags. That's it. No, I He was the milf of the movie rags over here like two 10 elbows to point I like Defensive Okay, I will not have my milfness turned against me My milfery milf and heim it's a shut up. They're talking about the story. No I want to talk about milf now. He's got a gamer chair. He's got a gamer chair.  I think we're all dying because this is all dying. Oh my god Just like those final destinations See that's what I would commit to the laziest they've ever been.  There you go. She saw somebody died right in front of her So did we yeah, and we're all freaked out. Okay, not me. I love death. That was dialogue I want to see it again. I don't know. I've died all the other time I've seen so many deaths lately because of these movies that if I saw someone get crushed of real life I'd be like uh three ten death You're insulting the CGI in the scene Yeah, CGI looks pretty bad. Oh, yeah, that's right. I have to go get laid. Also. I have to talk to janet Two birds one stone A one bird and one bird in two stones. Well, yeah one three birds one nail gun Oh That looks oh that looks so bad So like the new gimmick for final destination four is just you get like Just many visions that are really clear of the objects that will be involved There's some other funny credits on imdb. There's a racist's wife. I knew it. I knew it Milf's husband Not mr. Milf No Dillf Oh cowboy is credited as cowboy. That's cool. Okay, you can tell he's a cowboy because of his hat Oh, they're doing this pot. All right. Well, I guess you go. I was so observant Wait, come on. Come on. Are they really doing this? It was the most observant person there You're thinking about it. I know exactly the order everyone died in It was shot like a movie. Do you guys remember the reason um, he found out in the first one was because he followed the destruction of the plane to the seats Like that's how he figured it out. Not because he remembered exactly how everyone died Yeah, there was a premonition was like in a movie perspective.  They experience it in the way that we are watching the film I guess So does that mean that he only got to enjoy the delicious taste of pepsi in his vision but not in reality True. Wait, that means that if he wasn't there with his pepsis that he couldn't have broken them. Oh my god All four of them nice Oh my god, that looks terrible. Are we learning from this? You want to check out how these people died and what were like that's where that guy in the mechanic jacket died Wait, so he sold that then Did he see all of these? How does it give him that peer?  Yeah, we don't really care about his cowboy cowboy.  Would you know like of a premonition of He felt the pole go through Yeah, oh, yeah, I guess. Yeah, what if it came suddenly from behind? Hey, maybe if we can stop this mechanic from getting killed we can break the chain And the rest of us will be safe He just jumped to the conclusion that yeah Yeah, they don't even they're not even trying they just rely on the audience Also, it's very convenient for the series that anyone who gets a premonition is always the last person to Die in this event, right? Like what if they were the first and they wouldn't have any memory of anybody The last one from their point of view, right? Well, but they've never made it so that anyone died But I mean like that's I don't know even on the airplane and that's a call back to the first final destination The SS yeah, that's true. The listing always resets with that person who had the premonition I was the last person that died that day in this specific death. It's like wow. You really think you're that special, huh? Cause imagine if you had How about let's stay away from dangerous places. Oh, hi, man. I'm sorry for being blunt, but Your life's in danger, and I think you're gonna die Nobody would ever believe you nobody. Oh my god. Oh my god. In what content look at all the fire on his shirt That is very fiery. Oh, that's a clue.  He's gonna die wearing clothes They should be taking photographs right now. Yeah, yeah Oh I know that's not a thing anymore We forget that thing. We're doing a different thing now We could talk. We don't have to talk through the fence Someone's gonna die through that fence. Yeah, I mean like it's structured really. Yeah, look at it. It's pretty It almost looks like something that someone's gonna get sliced on trying to do a character thing in this movie Yeah, yeah, yeah, kill this wife and his son because he was driving really weird. It's like made of I know It's not a normal fence It's like an apple chopper or something like an apple dicer and it's so weird that they're talking to each other like this, you know It seems a bit foreboding Someone's getting Yeah, he's getting diced. He's gonna get yeah, he like points forward a little like I just caught myself on this sharp fence right now up Oh fake out All your jinx did Oh How bad it looks it takes me out of like enjoying it because it's Could have been really cool if they used practical effects for it Yeah, I don't even believe that that fence was like there was enough pressure on him to push him through that fence. Yeah And it was a pretty bouncy fence too bones and everything Yeah, I cut through them all.  Why are we forgetting about cowboy? He's not All right, this is one I remember. Yeah, I didn't mean whatever. No, I didn't mean that well whatever This I remember. Fuck. Yeah. Oh, yeah Yeah, hello people People's gotta do some motion tracking on those titties. Yeah, people's got a lot of work to do with this one at the last one Just people sweating Really? Yeah, this is really the first sex in a final destination. It's in 3d And you can see I can see those boobs in 3d titties Because the audience never will otherwise wait, I feel for a second that she only had the bra. She was just walking She forgot. I thought he was just gonna walk into the pool Well, dude, you just like does he not have post nut clarity ever? He's charged back up and ready to go must have been. Yeah, he was No, don't do something nice in this movie. Don't do it. No. No. No. No. No. No. Don't do something nice He'll hit you. Oh, he's got a dog That's how you get people to give you money.    Is the film saying that or not? I don't know I'm confused that like it's trying to say like homeless people in 2009 would throw away pennies, you know That's it adds up. I don't need this money. There's a store right behind him Oh god, they're really doing this fast aren't they they're like you're scared of hairdressers now You're scared of lawn mowers now. You're scared of car washes now You know at least they're not making us suffer We are halfway through You're scared of these fences. You've never seen before in real life come to the pool to get wet.   Oh god, he really is angry.  Yeah You're already dry It's a principle. It's a code of honor Oh my god, he's happy with his plastic. Now you're wet in the pool That that noise Okay, now I'm on his side now. I'm on his side. I'm not waterproof phones Yeah, that's true. Oh, but like I don't know Bring a bathing suit with your phone in your pocket brain pool on This is a brain pool It should have just said water Yeah, we're gonna drain the pool now Water all That's a weird diva there Oh, he's good at the coin thing. Yeah, that's good. Actually, he's not very good at it That's pretty good. That's why he practices guys He wants to be able to do it while he's boning some milk. You're right So, um, this is one I very much remember Yeah, what this is a very powerful drain pool. Yes.  You know people actually have died from that. I'm not kidding Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like like drains and hot tubs or pools like they can catch your hair in them and like How did you manage that?  Isn't that crazy? It's very it's not as common as uh playing crash Wait, you're saying that happened iRL for for real. Yeah, yeah, literally Really? Isn't that crazy? Yeah, I'm like it's like they catch people's hair, but you're like drown them It almost sounds like you're smiling as you say it. I'm not sure I believe you No, no, no, I've heard the story before I know what he's talking about. I'm glad she was like an urban myth or something Wait, she was gonna go into the car wash without knowing I'll fact check us right now.  She was able to close the also. Is she getting a whole car wash for some bird poo? Yep on the windshield. Wow Just go to a gas station and wipe it off. Maybe maybe she just needed to wash anyway though The bots wash. Oh my god. I don't know your ariels antenna down fool Oh Sorry, they left an electrical box open while all the water is going Yeah, don't you expose electricity everywhere Lean electricity is good electricity. I'm curious how she's gonna die It's it's not only a thing that's happened, but the art the most common article was another one that happened more recently Oh, a young girl got her intestines sucked out at the bottom of the pool.  But what's supposed to kill her here? I guess I'm curious Why are you trying to get out to cause her to die? Maybe she has intense claustrophobia. It's almost like I'm just She'll get a heart attack.     She's roll your windows down now right now. She's literally crawl out.  Even if imagine pitching this thing. All right, so a woman drowns in a car wash Yeah, again, we're getting so much further removed from like relatable possibilities. Like nobody's scared of this happening People are just getting dumber Wait a minute. I could open my car door. I can roll my window down.   Did she even try rolling down her windows? Did she even try at any point? No This is too far.   I was gonna say could you close your eyes and make it? I assume you could I assume you could you close your eyes and Just get a really clean face those blades. They just had they they they have decapitating power mohler. Oh, no So they have they have absolutely no context for anything that's happening And they just decided to do this. Is he saving her? Yes Apparently Dude if you saw this It's like don't judge me.  Yeah, that would have just saved it. Yeah, I would have saved her I would have Oh, okay Nobody nobody looks on the water apparently it's been an hour You can see through or so it's clear He's very the pressure is rising It's falling a lot too Your colon would be gone. Well This was the death. I yeah, I'm I'm noticing that people just do not die in any way that's related to their personalities or their behavior You know There's no writing effort Oh Oh, yeah, what if it what if it was brown? Oh, okay The coin landing like that it almost feels like the makers of this thing I like see he got his comeuppance. It was like, wait, what? Also, like just cut to the blood, but we didn't even see like hit like we didn't see him Yeah, we should have gotten a shot at the at the bottom of the pool or something It was a great opportunity to have a like a little, you know, puppety thing just crumbling.  It's really lazy way You shouldn't be able to just be an audience member and everybody immediately being like, oh, why didn't they do that?  Yeah, I thought he was gonna put in the drink as well Yeah, I thought he was Yeah, I don't know why he didn't Man, I'm very vested in his Alcoholic progression of you know, I stay sober buddy glass of wine not like like vodka Oh, I guess he's just like No, he was Stop small he's he's edging I think that refers to something like that. You're right.  Well, do you remember in the first film? He had like a cupboard full of sharp things It opened up and I killed it That also happened in the second film.  What is there the most successful one? I'm really guys be quiet. I'm really invested in their relationship. Could you please stop talking through the movie?  Do you think this is what is death? Like all the players don't care and almost want to kill themselves. So death's like no, no, no, no, no You can win.  So he didn't drink it This is a different employee death card. This is a different guy He likes giving people more of a chance. Maybe satan's appreciating death's work And he's like, I love what you did with the racist and death's like, no, it wasn't me. That was Something else.  I'm just trying to give god what I thought he wanted. I've been trying to kill myself all day Oh my god This is the director of the second one Yes Same director same ideas. Yeah, the writers are For the rest of the year When they try to grab him he was like stop it.   There's a cowboy still Remember the cowboy. All right. Oh wait. Oh, we are boring main characters Are we actually stuck all the way to be the main character? Like do they think they're fine because they saved the girl? Yes, god dammit We're stuck further back than like the first the first film didn't even make a mistake. We did it We made it. We're very confident about this.  I agree Oh, this poor peter parker, uh went with gwen. Oh, yeah, we're back flips And the taxi comes through the window Alfred melina in this Let's have a wholesome conversation that suddenly something horrible happens. Did they say how long this time jump was? One day Ten minutes later, it's actually like six in the morning. Yeah Look out. Hi. Haha. Where's cowboy? No, we're happy This is we're not even at the hour mark What are it? What's this post? Yeah? Oh, no, no, this part usually happens like much later Yeah, this is the fake out that we've done it sort of thing already Yeah Oh, jeez. Oh noisest 3d Pipe Say that Oh my god, honestly, that was a uh The snake around the metal is actually a medical alert bracelet symbol Hey, what's in the rubble? So someone's gonna get a peanut allergy. He was in the rubble the whole time and they never found him I love the we often call characters by silly names because we don't know their names And then when they do it in universe it gets a little like Oh Yeah, the cowboy guy hates cowboys. See they like really despises cowboy. He just happens to really like the hats You feeling okay, mr. Suvi? Why do you care?   So he's the movie thinks he is racist. No, he's just angry. Yeah, he probably has a full name He's upset. The other guy had a full name. They just never used it Here, I'll just forget about this. Asians were smart It was almost full when you left. What is this normal? Somebody help help It's just like korea all over again Wait, I like it. Is that room gonna fill up with water? There's no way it can because there's a door.  Oh That stuff's really unsatisfying when it's like the only thing you expect them to do the obvious thing Then it's just like lull no because water and electricity. It's every one of these No, sometimes it's a hydraulic thing that sends you into You don't want to get the electricity wet. That's bad.   Yeah, I hope there's no man with hooks in this elevator Yeah, that would be bad. Oh no Oh this poor guy I gotta get back to my cattle ranch help He's gonna go through the floor rumbling. Oh, they're just gonna Uh He survived in the rubble for presumably days goes the hospital immediately dies That mean that death had nothing to do with the car filling up with water It happened. Well, I think the idea was they saved her and then oh now this is the order and the cowboy guy was next Then they just didn't realize the cowboy guy have always have been next Watch out. It's really sharp or something weird. Oh Yeah, because cowboy guy originally died, but then he Oh mega tech someone was wearing that t-shirt at the thing. Remember? Oh, no, it's a spaceship We're getting invaded Oh, I love this No How how would someone get killed by that? It falls and it crushes It's kind of obvious I don't understand it.  Oh, I like how neither of them looked where they were going and the guy the ambulance didn't slow down No, it's just and then he I didn't make any noise. That was a really unsatisfying reveal. Yeah.  No build up.  What?  Yeah, I mean put aside their differences Wait, oh male gun again. That's who you've done this. It's a pigeon killer Everyone's wearing their hard hats though. They're indestructible. Yep.  What are you doing? Yeah, I guess the relay snapping would probably be what happens. Also. Yeah, I don't see how But also like Oh no death There's a movie theater in a mall in vancouver And I think it's like china town mall and the escalator there is like honestly I freak out every time i'm on it because it's so high up and it does not look properly constructed And then every time there's a film festival they pack like hundreds of people on this escalator at the same time Movie I was done the story. I was trying to flirt it out as fast as possible though Okay, what yep Typhoon, yeah All right now we're doing this Essentially the writers are like, how could we make people scared as they're watching the movie?   It's like that could happen You don't know Yeah, what if there's a crazy man in the white house that just presses the button? Till death do we pop?  So it's like Like your flashlight isn't any brighter than the light that's just there already You really just get rid of it. Dude. This is the longest this part of the movie that we've ever had You know where they yeah, they think it's over. Like this whole fake out. We thought we solved it It's a weird pacing Cool Like how she's just ignored that.  It's like, I think yeah, right They really should give up and just have death walk up to people and shoot them with revolvers.   Did you guys see some of the shit? I did in the third one God, everyone wants to see the love plays dying is like the best movie ever Yeah, it's made more money than the titanic in this universe. Yeah.   Oh, he's gone now. Okay.  I don't know That's too depressing. Hey guys, do you think pepsi sponsors? All the pepsi, I'll look at all the pepsi logos are always It's in the same room.   What george is dead Fontaniously combustible. It'll be funny if she was like Oh, she's so dead. She's refusing to leave. They're both nuts. Okay. What's gonna cost her death and in russia I'm not even kidding I was meant to see this move Fontanious combustion What's gonna happen? Wait, what is that? It's real I like how there were extra nails wait till the construction site was on the other side of the movie screen.  Wow. Wow. That's really an emergency. Yeah. Wow.   Yeah, he's not doing anything really It's on day.  That doesn't mean Yeah, what is your leg have to do with bleeding at your mouth? That's weird I mean, it's deja vu.   He saw the premonition omnisciently He definitely did. Yeah Well, he should have known that that was empty.  Why would you do that? Why did you do that? Oh, yeah, I'll use my feet My my feet the flame retardant. Oh the winds. Oh, no. This is death again Oh 3d. Oh, come on. Don't stop it. More sawdust. Oh my god. It's inevitable.  Don't hide me.  It wouldn't even pierce your skin from that distance. No, it's not that powerful The timing doesn't work, but okay Not okay This is funny to see like the problem with these movies is death could just be like nah, the sprinkles don't work well Yeah, yeah, like any random bullshit Oh, no, I can't do it It's so wibbly wobbly get good It hit Oh, it's you're done. It's over. Yes. No, it's also got time.  What did you manage to do? Oh, okay. That's hard. That's the hero. It's not over. You know, it's not over two weeks later I want I want to know what happened later that I want to hear him explaining this to whoever found him like I want to see that scene. Hey, man, excuse me Is this thing supposed to be this way? Isn't it supposed to be screwed tighter? I want to see somebody show up there and be like, oh look, it's like screw it tight, buddy Face to be safe, man.   How do you do it in a coffee shop like way?    It doesn't matter Yes, I'm a hero. Thank you. I'm psychic. Yep Are you the mark guy? Thanks, dude. Are you in the right to give me some change didn't you like kind of Exclusive barrels by glasses That homeless man Partially responsible for death. What's going through that window? Yeah, the shot looks like the window's gonna smash I hope it's gonna be it is it is a weird framing. It's foreboding Oh references to every of the way everyone died around him. Oh, no reason. That's a thing. Why is that a thing? Why is it a thing?  This card never plays in a coffee shop. Shut up I already forgot the NASCAR with the opening thing Honestly, it felt like it had nothing to do with the movie like I already forgot it was a NASCAR thing I forgot this movie already It's here Hey, uh space today. You want to come back down to earth?  Uh-oh the shot again. What is it? What is it? Where's spider-man? What are you talking about like left things way they all look like they're on a green screen. They don't look real right now Why is it not believing him at this point? Yeah, I know What? I believe everything this dude says at this point. Oh, so they all die Fatality This really is bullcum. Oh my god Why?   Oh god.  Oh, I look up to operate Yeah, can we get a flashback to the quote? I hope it doesn't get much worse than the third film I hope they don't end up being worse than three. I hope that we're in a resonable situation with me I think I laughed more this one than the third one though. I think so. Yeah. Yeah, the third one was more Aggressive in how irritating it was The most profitable final destination film, isn't that insane? And at that point grossing as the creators you've learned like the audience just want to see people die. It's really weird But that's it.   Just make depth cool All they had to do was just have characters and then you can kill him. Yeah. Yeah exactly Also, adam was right when he said uh, when he said, um, the 310 for the other one because it can get worse It did get worse. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.  I don't know. No, this is not a trust me. There's room The rule for us is that generally one means you've broken space and time It just doesn't make sense. One means like barely barely functions as a movie Yeah, like it's not even a film. Yeah, the continuity is completely bored. Fundamentally in here. Nothing means anything essentially This is good old-fashioned too. Space and time didn't break, but everything else.  Oh, wow Something happened. The CGI though. Oh my god. It was awful. A lot of these were Crazy crazy downgrade just in every way pretty much. I it's fascinating how The technology theoretically in real life gets better for these Films in computer animation, but it looks so much worse as thing as time goes along and the budget was high It was like almost twice as much as any of the other films because of the idea The thing movies it's like it's kind of like that. Oh, yeah, three and four which was worse Which was better three this was worse, but more funny bad. I I agree. Yeah. Well, it was it was yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I think it's also like I don't know like I say more funny bad, but it's like at the same time I know I watched this when I was younger and I forgot everything about it I'm worried that I'm going to have that exact same thing happen again Are you worried you'll forget this movie between the beginning of the movie in the end of the movie I already forgot that there was a NASCAR scene. That's bad I remember the NASCAR thing. This movie is short. Yeah, it's short, but there was and also I think that's what Not even an hour and a half. There was a lot of dull boring crap like Yeah, between the occasional funny parts We did a couple of deaths and one person got saved and our team assumed it's over And then the rest of them died all at once so quickly And I think this is the most removed of all the the films were The second one connected to the first because they referenced it. The third one even was like Hey, I heard about the da-da-da-da-da. So those were connected and this one It had like references with the amusement park in the car in the 180 But yeah in the 180 other than that this could have been a total standalone Thing like it didn't connect to the others in any way So the way that the characters quote unquote figured out what they were supposed to do Was total horseshit more so than normal Like there wasn't a system or a rule to this one.  It's just here's the thing Yeah, yeah, you know, there wasn't any cleverness or any attempt No attempt at cleverness.  It looks so much better Yeah, they have like even though that's like kind of goofy still looks there's a bit more thought put into it And that's the same director like what happened. I guess it was a different guy on his team that made that happen I don't know It could be the fact that it was 3d. It might be so they focused everything was done in cg 3d was such a fad But it made it so much more difficult to shoot if you're shooting a native 3d because he can't actually frame things properly In a way that's like, oh, yeah I have like a proper vision for how things are going to be framed you you have more or less of like a um More of a wide range of what you're going to capture But then you have to like shrink it down for like eyes It's complicated, but like it makes the cinematography a lot worse I don't know. I still feel like even if you do shoot it in 3d with those restrictions in that complication This was still Unbearably lazy. They still did terribly. Yeah.  But that's the most everything Don't forget I'm like Every part of this movie it doesn't feel like there's continuity in this film It's like it almost feels like it could have been in a different movie Which is crazy because then that a film that I saw like a year ago This and that aspect the whole like they're just deaths.  They made the actual like um decision to like Soundtrack that with funny just fun music. Yeah, and I think that was the right call. It's like, yeah Sets the tone in a way. Uh, it sets the tone. Now. I'm like, you don't need to worry about this.  Yeah, that's gonna explode somehow even though it's pulling him on a chain. He's gonna explode It's it's funny because I I mentioned earlier that I was confused as to Which scenes in my memory were from four and which were from five And now it makes sense because just watching this film in continuity. It's so Like like there's no real continuity to it Like we watched an entire film, but each scene might as well just belong in a different movie Yeah, you could change it with other final destinations.  They're just like independent scenes Especially when you don't have characters to latch on to and it's just the death Yeah, exactly They're not yeah in my memory. I didn't know which characters were experiencing those deaths It was just the setting not the characters in it Like everybody in these things have like generic dialogue trees of we're in trouble. We should get out of here I don't believe this is happening. You should because Derek died Hmm, and then he gets killed. It's like well. Yep. One of the guys was an alcoholic who killed his daughter Wife at some point that he got hit by a car. I was like, okay He tried to kill himself all day I wanted to see that you would have seen that sequence. That would have been cool That would have been the whole film You're gonna make the shortest final destination film at like an hour and 20 minutes Give us a 10 minute scene of that guy trying to kill himself all day. That sounds fun When the rope just breaks, it's so funny. Yeah, you know what like go the comedy route final destination Make one where the main character is like that guy where he's trying to kill himself and he can't And he keeps seeing all the dudes who's dying.  There's a movie.  Shoot me. No, I can't do it I can't do it He could attack a cop or maybe that could happen early He attacks a cop but the cop tasers him instead of shooting him and he goes to prison That's the end of the film He just gets the genuinely nicest cop of all time. He's like, man, are you attacking me? I don't please stop it He just taser him. That's the thing We made a much better movie And like I said earlier It is a failure from the filmmakers When people watch your film and immediately just watch scenes It's like this would have been better and everybody just agrees like okay Like that's a failure of the filmmakers. Yeah, you should be as writers And directors you should be thinking about these things ahead of time. Maybe you don't have to agree with what we're saying Oh god, like you made something that most people would be like, okay, there's better ways to do this. That's lazy. Come on. Hello. Yeah So lazy. Hello. We can hear you.  Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Wow.    It's something like that too You know show something It's the whole and I think reason we're here. Okay.  That's embarrassing We had to see the wine cork in 3d. That's where the movies That was scary. That scared me weren't you scared when the most expensive part of the movie It's not only the most annoying part But it it just doesn't stand the test of time because like 3d has died out even on home video Like it's not just 3d theaters that are like dying. Yeah, like it's also home video So all we see is just annoying. Hey, this is moving towards the camera and we have to piece it Oh, this is so people saw it in 3d. How cool, you know, like what was the last what was the last movie you saw in 3d Oh, that's a great question. Well, I mean like actually with the glasses on watching it in the proper I actually I don't know if I could give an answer to that because I wasn't like Hyper aware when the fed died out might have been a marvel. Maybe I don't know Is that still going on like early marvel? I think was probably happening Really? Yeah, I'm pretty sure vengeance was yeah, I mean there there's still some showings that are 3d today Not all but it's not being pushed as hard Yeah, it's it happens because the last movie that I saw in 3d was the rise of skywalker It was an accident. I didn't I saw the pinata cut Yeah, I didn't mean to I but I guess the when I got the tickets online Something whatever and I got a ticket for a 3d one and I had to see it for the podcast So I'm like, well I'm clenching my butthole and we're watching the rise of skywalker in 3d I saw there was a stupid normally I never sit there with fucking glasses on my head But I guess I had to do it for this movie So it is awful because in 2009 there were showings where it was like impossible to catch one in 2d Where it was like 3d was the one that you had to get If you have an eye problem or something I don't know if you have like one eye it's like I'm just paying extra money for nothing Do any of you wear glasses?  Well, yeah, because he wasn't even he didn't even get dialogue He was just he was just like, oh remember that guy. He's dead now. He like oh, okay Yeah, it was weird when you find out who the character is after they die like that's weird You have to yeah, you have to do that. You have to work towards like a reveal scenario Not just oh, that's that guy Moving on And I can't believe they find that we predicted like cowboy guy was the nicest guy And he gets like the cruelest ending. We didn't even get to know him at all. He was just in the background Yeah, he was just there to die. We just find out he's in pain was a very Lazy film in all aspects. They did not cry and they made the most money So we rewarded them for not trying way to go final destination for only one left And this feels a little bit more chore-ish at this point, doesn't it? Yeah, but there's only one left five Yes, there's only one left It's almost into the line, yeah Bye-bye We're almost at our final destination. See you for I presume Halloween of 2022 Oh I gotta pee real bad your time's coming. I like
