Gender Swap App (Who Wore it Better?)

This is going to produce some, yes, self-driving anime cars. It's a big old video that we've been working on for a few weeks and we're already doing rnd and now it's finally time to film and film, so that makes me a little nervous. You may have heard about this app called Face App, it will make you old, it will make you a member of the opposite sex. I think it would be really fun to see who wears it the best and who looks the best with these ridiculous filters. are applied to someone's face, I'm pretty sure it's all like machine learning, like neural network stuff, so it does a really good job of matching your hair color and adapting everything to your face, obviously, I'm going to win all the categories in which we have your face. smile, make me smile oh no, no, okay, that was kind of really weird, it's super weird though, it's weird, she's a stupid woman, oh god, oh wow, I like having an ugly thing like Tyler, like I didn't know I cleaned it. so kindly always looking up oh, that would actually be really cute if he saw that he wouldn't be able to hold on, yeah, and move your smile lines like your cheeks and push them up, that's weird, it actually looks like my teeth, I wouldn't do it.

I could tell if I saw that cold rain, let's see, okay, that's pretty good, Hollywood, you gave me a girly five o'clock shadow, you cut your pretty look like a young princess, Leia, yeah, you went a little elf-like . man, one that also makes you look more manly friend, what is that more manly? You just look like a red manly man like Jake, let's do this, okay, wow, this is going to produce something, yeah, oh god, it's creepy because I'm so dead in the eye on this. Photo also that it's like you're doing the armor smile you're like I feel less bad that's why I still have bags under my eyes wow danny a little bit you're like a little bit yes I need a little concealer the manly filter just makes you look like Jacob Can we make a manly filter with me?

Wow, buddy, what happened to me? It seemed like you were that tough. My face got like that because it's like, wait, he's a man now, damn, I'm looking to the side, dude. nick smiling oh no oh yeah they like tea that would be so big I don't know they also like to add crooked teeth I think I worked on mine because I have clearly defined lines uh here wait they just say it on the camera oh my camera did it oh man no this video anime driverless cars it's a very challenging video because it's big it's a big old video we have a seven and a half page script we've been working on it for a few weeks I'm already doing rmd and now it's finally time to filming and filming the actual video, as you guys have seen, there is a lot in preparation for this video and I don't want to let anyone down, so this is actually the first anime video I'm doing.

I only directed alone, the others, Nico basically took most of the directing work, the concept itself of driverless endurance racing, it was an idea that I was mulling over for a long time, so I think there is a bit of learning to do my. What to do here because I know the script, the material is good, I know it will look great later with the previous one and the visual effects that we are doing, but it is going to fit the style, if this anime thing is going to work, could it? be too ridiculous like when you want to go overboard and silly when you want to play it seriously these are still the nuances that I have yet to discover so that makes me a little nervous normally I feel very comfortable going in The video is recorded now after so many years, but I like this one every night before I go to bed.

I'm fine, I imagine every take, like I'm going over it all in my head, over and over, over and over again. I'm really excited because everyone is here and it looks amazing so far, the costumes are coming together well, however I'm really nervous because it's a really big video and we've documented every stage of the process so there's a lot. of anticipation I have a chance of success at about five percent yes, I must be afraid, I'm actually very excited for one small reason, Eric from vsauce lent me his uh rico theta, which is a 360 degree camera.

I want to see what I just did using this, yes what I was able to do was take a high quality HDR and use it to render this image. This image, the only lighting in the scene comes from this photo that you are seeing in the back. Here, that not only provides reflections but it provides lighting. There are shots we're going to take tonight where the 3D cars are rendered in a real environment. We're going to use this camera to basically take an HDR image of the scene. that we can use the actual lighting of the scene to influence the rendering of the car in theory.

I hope we see if it really works in practice to record this video. We have to divide it into a couple of parts. a lot of things at the starting line of the race, we have to do all that, it's at night which makes this really challenging, because this is an anime video, we have to get tons and tons and tons and tons of shots that we can. I don't shoot this like a normal video, so I can go out and film as cover, okay, I'm just acting out the scene here, but I'm not going to use that, that's more for the actors to get into the scene and understand the dynamics of their lines.

What I know in the end here, when we edit it, I'm going to need four shots of them talking at all angles, constantly showing new shots trying to repeat shots as little as possible because when you're doing anime-style storytelling on video you want one specific shot to stand out from the crowd. suddenly and people say, "oh, that's an important moment", there are a lot of important moments in this piece, so I need to create a lot of important shots and different looking shots for these moments so that that way they stand out and get in your face, they feel like they're more like I'm illustrating it, not just pointing a camera and hoping things work, it's basically just picking up the tripod and the camera, the battery and that's it. first priority and then I'll have these guys turn this thing on, so with tripod or boom we'll do the first shots of the dolly shots.

My character's name is Racer Z, which I think is the best possible name. You could have him as a runner because if your name has an x ​​or a z, you're automatically like three steps ahead. Clinton Jones, The Punisher, stars the guy. Clint is still fun to work with, not only does he like anime, but he understands the genre. He's a lot of fun to work with on set. He's an amazing guy, so goofy and friendly. I intend to honor my father's legacy. I can't let him win this race. Obviously, he has to be in this video.

A couple of people have it. He mentioned that, oh, he always gets cast as bad guys in the anime videos of him. He has that natural personality, although he loves to dress like many blacks, that kind of theatrical presentation that an anime bad boy should have. You know, he's like he's kind of a model. own personal style after anime villains, ideally your villains are as cool as your heroes impossible action. I've studied that code for years, it's perfect and then we're going to go straight to the lens of you screaming in his face in the same shot, so we start here and then do separate setups.

We beat her and brought her. but my name is Anna and I play Angela in this session and Angela is a very loving girlfriend and she takes the passenger seat in Z's racing career, but she actually has her PhD and she is a doctor, a real doctor from there she met to a doctor. in medical school she doesn't know who her parents are they left her as a baby in a bundle on the moon gate the dog is there because it has weird black eyes they are there they seem to have a disease Man, this is what they look like , it's been months, yes, you have to work on that strength, okay, let's do this, who do you think?

You look like that actor, yes, you look like some actor, Mr. Patrick Stewart, I have a photo of the man. Patrick Stewart with his hair on my phone, right? All of that is random. It's not so normal. You don't keep a photo of Patrick Stewart with his hair on your phone, so they weren't sure they could turn on a TV. show with a bald actor so they try to give him a wig test lazy nick woman why does he always give you you're the next sam he's been out here he met her on that phone for quite some time ready to transcend you ready to be a woman okay? perfect, oh actually, that's pretty salty, that's not bad, oh my god, dude, I look like a bum, what does the woman Sam look like?

Yeah, it's a little gross, oh my god, dude, don't get too excited, oh yeah, man, you're okay. I'm going to blow your mind oh hey, that's exactly the same thing. Can we compare them? Yes, that's me yesterday. That's much

better

. Oh my gosh, okay. I'm going to blow your mind once again. This is my little brother. Wow, no way, okay. come on woman a woman a wow gabe wonderful magnificent game okay karma what which one is too much of that bottle of green juice what's your face slenderman man look at that what's happening to your lips what did he do I didn't know what to do with the beard is that my teeth come out of the back of his mouth.

I didn't know what to do there. A big tube was like where I put my teeth. If you could tell us who uses it best. It would be great, we would love for your opinions to validate ours. Danny gets really sad. What do you say of me? Telling me he's pretty. Then we'll also have our green screen day where we film all the characters in the car driving nicely sitting in the cars. watching the race from inside the car is a big part of the video. Well, first of all, we use real cars, not imaginary self-driving cars, so why is it a challenge in my fictional version of this world that self-driving cars don't have? steering wheels, but unfortunately we're using Clint's car and his car actually has a steering wheel, how are we going to get rid of it?

It's actually dumb and very simple, there's no steering wheel on this side, wow mate, did I just blow your mind? I'm going to film in the passenger city all day. We'll flip all the footage 180 degrees and it will look like you're sitting on the right side of the car. Really wait. Yes, you have to act backwards and then we will flip it. Oh, shoot, buddy, I gotta do it. Write these lines backwards man, in the movie Titanic, they actually had to do this, apparently they built the entire exterior set of the Titanic with the starboard side of the ship facing port, which is incorrect, that's why it's called the starboard side. port side, starboard side, so they were very wrong. bad, so in all those exterior shots of the Titanic when they're running towards the boat and all they had to turn them 180 degrees, that means they would go through and paint all the signs backwards, all the words backwards, to make sure that everything Everyone's costumes were changed and it was a big headache, luckily we're in a much easier situation, but I got a little inspiration from that little film lesson, so for our green screen day we're trying to figure out if there's any way . to avoid having the green screen in every shot because that will add a lot of vfx manpower later, honestly the vfx itself isn't that hard, put a green screen key on the green, put a plate on there, but it looks like We're going to have dozens of them if we go that route and we already have at least two minutes of full CG car racing, so two options immediately emerged: a TV or a projector.

My prediction is that the sad truth is that none of these will actually work. The problem right now is that this projector we need to at least compete with these lights, so I don't know if this will be good for a background situation where we are just projecting it on something or if we can actually, maybe I just like it Clean like street lights, it is a good projector, but these are the problems we are competing for with these LED aperture lights that are very bright. I highly recommend them, but they are just turning off the projector.

Yes, they just will. just turn off the enemy line of the projector so it's like you're not watching a projector in a bright room, yes you can, it's impossible. Wren wants to just take a giant LED TV screen and put it behind the window and just play anime lines on it. Now we don't have to do a green screen, the pros and cons of a TV, it's very bright, we'll have light surrounding its shiny reflective helmet and it'll actually look very realistic because it's real, so what we're going to have. What we have to do is have two people, like hold it with a cable connected to a laptop that shows what's on the screen, like what happens when I need to move the camera.

I mean, at that rate, we'll basically hire two people. for half a day just to hold this TV and it's a little bit to the left okay stop moving stop moving it guys like you know it's like I don't see that being practical is a little extreme okay I like the appearance, yes. yeah, the projector doesn't work, the TV doesn't work, I think it was time to go old fashioned and just move those damn lights, I mean, at the end of the day,Ultimately we're just trying to get the street lights effect. and some flashing lights move past the card to imply movement, what are you doing?

Yes, Ren has very good upper body strength and endurance. That's the scene. That's the whole scene. And I was like, there you go. This is how I know you rocked it right at the end of the day, everything went very well, the footage looks beautiful, something else is happening, although in the very near future, as much as I want to be here and finish this video, keep editing it and do it perfect. and I work in visual effects, there is actually a time bomb living in my house right now and his name is my son here on the set of Flinch Fight, these videos would not be possible without our sponsors, thank you richard linder and rory pitt , jason emog and andrew d avencino that shot was for you this stretch is for you taylor dunbar you complete me thank you james bailey and thank you glitch cube you mean a lot to us shout out to brian antosik thank you couldn't do this without you man can Don't forget my boy Richard Blackburn, thanks man once again, thanks for our sponsors.
