- supernova87a 4y agoDoes he? I hadn't noticed. And do you think that's something people do notice and draws them in to watch?
- throwup 4y agoHe's always been the "one take" guy for me. And it's not as easy as it looks--he'll spend 10 minutes wandering seemingly-aimlessly around London, and pass by a certain landmark within 5 seconds of mentioning it in his script (which he also memorized). It's bananas and I don't think many people even consciously notice. That's why he's so happy when he nails it. I think it's cute! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgRRFRaMFcc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgRRFRaMFcc
- pifm_guy 4y agoWith a bit of practice, you can nail this too. The trick is to have a few seconds you can add or remove with some comment/fact which you can leave out for timing. You'll often do it in regular conversation with people - if you're in a hurry for some reason, you can explain something to someone quicker by leaving out some less important details.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoDoes he still record in one take? I'm pretty sure that's changed over the last few years as his production has changed from "guy with phone camera" to "actually having a semblance of a a crew". There's also changes in camera angle, cuts to other views, etc.
