  Speaker 2: You know, it's a shame. I heard about Kim Air.

  Speaker 5: to follow the industry trend. What's popular.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was. We had to reshoot.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: We had to do a bunch of reshoots because these
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: chairs were ginormous, which is great.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: And then they made them.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Like that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: You could do that because you think something like that
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: would be a more permanent thing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Clim is amazing, She's great to work with. Kim Air
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: is coming.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: It's a luxury branded airline, and the commercials are fantastic,
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: and the safety videos are more fantastic.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I would say, well.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about it. I mean, let's talk about
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: what it's like to work in the flight safety industry.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: We all have very important corner stoned flight safety videos,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: and we are a community. I mean, we all watch
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: each other's. We all know what's going on. It is,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We're very up to date on what's going on. I mean,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: how do you get into it? How did you guys
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: get into this?
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll say, I have to give it up to you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, Donald, I have to.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Give it up to you. Donald.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: I loved your video so much. I thought it was
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: so cutting edge for shut the fuck up. I'm not
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: going to I'm not going to take the praise, take
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: the praise. It opened up a door for me, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: I was working with a lot of music videos. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: was doing a lot of avant garde stuff. I took
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: a flight from New Mexico, Albuquerque to New York. When
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: the plane started, I thought we were going down because
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: of your video.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Where I thought this is art. It was amazing.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you so much. I mean, it was really fun.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I never meant to be in the industry. I didn't
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: grow up wanting to make plane videos, you know what
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I mean. I don't think anybody did anybody here want to.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Do that what I did a little bit. But I
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: understand where that comes from. Sure, No, I just love
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I love so much the rules of the plane. For me,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: the show is the video, and then what happens after that,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: which is the flight, is the encore.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: So incredible analogy.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I love that thinking, because why do we go onto
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: a plane. We go onto a plane to be explained
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the rules.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: No, I get on a plane to go somewhere.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Else exactly, I go on a plane.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, bitch, wow, wow, Prason, I didn't call you am
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: a bit.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: What a missip happening?
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: What a comedy ror? Whoa wow? Wow?
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: A lot is going on in the listen. This is
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: just a difference of opinion, I believe. Look, I what
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I value. I love being feeling like I am in
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: good hands. And that is what an artful flight safety
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: video does is tell someone that they are in good hands,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: that this is actually not scary, that we are up
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: in the sky and we're gonna get back down in
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: a very safe way. My videos have a very distinct style.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I have been praised for how thoroughly I explain the rules.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: So most flight safety videos are about thirty seconds to
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: forty five seconds long. Mine are about an hour.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: So now what if I'm going from LA to Nevada, Well,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: you would sit in the lax tarmac and you would
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: have a wonderful experience where you are whisked away to
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: a world of explanation, of magic, of creativity, and then
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: you get on.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: The plane and thirteen minutes later you are in Las Vegas.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard that all the airlines that show yours
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: your your flight time is bumped up.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: That's why it's cheaper, because it's longer.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, and many people don't know that, right. They get
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: on a plane and it is proportional to the trip
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: you're taking. Right, So if you're flying LA to Vegas,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you add an hour. But if you're going onto a
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: longer flight with more risks, if you are flying LA
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: to London, you add three hours.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Right, because the film is three hours.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: There are more risks when you go over the Atlantic Ocean,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: so there's more we have to cover. And that also
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: means that our pilots have to go through more character
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: arcs and more people, and they meet more characters and
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: have more experiences along the way.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Where are you from?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: What does everybody's favorite flight rule?
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I love to talk about this because there's so many
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: different ways, there's so many rules. We all know the rules.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: We call them the Bible, right, we know the Bible.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: We know what the deal is. Yeah, everyone, I can
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: tell I could probably guess everyone's favorite, but I want
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: to hear you say it, because everyone favors a certain
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: rule more.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Oh right, Mine has got to be you must put
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: your mask, your oxygen mask on first before you help another.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: That I love so much.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Because it's the direct opposite of the Bible. It is
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: serve yourself first, then other seconds.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And that resonates with you, Barbara, because you're selfish.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, Because.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, I'm a selfish woman, and I think a woman
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: in Hollywood is only successful if she's self Hell.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, And I love to hear that energy. That's great.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: I do love to hear that energy.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, you just gotta put yourself first, guys. I
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: mean I've been telling my kids, Sorry, I'm not gonna
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: pay for your student loans because I'm putting myself first,
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: all right, I mean, come on now, but I will
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: tell you I I I miss I really miss dialogue
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: because in my videos we don't have any dialogue.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: It's when I work.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: I have a huge residency with Ikea and we.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: It's just like they.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Think Got with DJ has a residency at maybe Britney
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: Spears in Vegas.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: I am their director.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Oh fabulous, I love that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I do miss sound.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I'm miss working with sounds because all of IKEA's videos
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: it's too uh two models, one pushing in something, the
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: other and then we have an illustrator who's working, who
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: then draws the models moving and it's a lot of
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: slow mo shot. But I have to say my favorite
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: flight safety rule is fix yours first.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: And then the others.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: The instructional videos are just the instructions in a video form.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: They don't really it's not it's not physical. It's just
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: the drawings.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's the drawings come to life.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: So because they were having trouble, like if you're if
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: you're putting together a dresser and you need to move
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: the you need to move the bolt to the right
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: instead of using arrows, we found that it's more successful
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: to get a video of someone doing that, or get
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: somebody else helping the person put the drawer in if
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: it's a two man job. So Ikea has been involved evolving.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: It's a part of their app now because Ikea has
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: an app.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Everything has an app nowadays.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: It absolutely bonkers. I mean, the American Airlines app blew
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: us all out of the water.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: We should talk about that. That app is incredible.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: It's amazing, and we're not competing with it per se.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: But I feel jealous sometimes everything relating to an airline.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I fig sometimes I feel I was peting with the snacks.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Everyone's favorite part of the videos. Yeah we heard yours. Yours?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yours is the mask.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Put yours on before another yours?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Little ash you're sweet boy.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not that sweet.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: I'm not a little boy. I'm five ten. That's very average.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: I'm just wearing large in style clothing.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I just feel like you're in a snow globe. When
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I look at you, I know it's a little doll.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: I want to shake you up.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I look at both of your pupils and they're both
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: little strawberry shortcakes.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, well, thank you all. Take it as a compliment.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, what's your favorite part.
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: My favorite part is the life jacket under the seat.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: I find it's almost a mystery box, a black box,
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: if you will. The audience doesn't know what's in there.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's very Atlice in Wonderland.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: And I love when we do those videos. I love
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: making sure the audience feels like there's something in there.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: What is it dangerous?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Is it safety? You never know? I saw yours.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: You add a heart beat, a slow zoom and a
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: heartbeat in weathery're.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Crying in the back, Yes, but just a couple of
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: light stuff. Thank you. You know what I love.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I love that big ramp, the big floating floating ramp,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the slide. I mean, come on, is that fun or what?
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: It's full of whimsy.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: It's very exciting.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: It was fun for all of our videos. Your video
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: it was not fun.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Mine was verified.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: It didn't effect where it looked endless. And then at
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the bottom of it there was a big sea monster
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: because that's supposed to be used in some sort of
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: seed landing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: So it was interesting. It was almost like you've been
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: safe for now.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: That's what I think, exactly exactly. I mean, look, it's scary.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Flying is scary, and we wanted to make sure people
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: knew that it was important for me. And you know,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I got this idea. I was at this club in
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the Lower East Side. I was on asseid, I was
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: losing my mind. And I walked down to the basement
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: of a club and I said, what if this never ended?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: And I said, oh my god. And they gave me
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: an idea. Oh my god, what if I was in
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: an airplane and this is this is my escape? You know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: like there is no escape? And I and I and
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I sobered up and I woke up, and I said,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: all the fear left me with the idea stayed there.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Like my brain was a sketchbook and I had one
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: note in it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: You are so fascinating to me because I'm in a
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: safety video.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Fear has no place, sure, And I'm so inspired.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: By the fact that you use what we are directly
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: working against.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: And can you speak to.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: How you think that's productive and how you think that's helpful.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we build safety videos because of fear. Right, we
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: build safety videos to cause an ease of fear. Right,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: don't be scared. This is this is the known. You know,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: we're scared of the unknown, and so this is the
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: known and so that's what we're doing here. But the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: thing is is that I don't ever want anyone to
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: think that they know enough. I don't even to get cocky.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I don't want anyone to zone out of the video
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: because if you zone it on a video, then what's
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: the point of having the video. And I think we've
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: all been on a flight, a Southwest flight, an American flight,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: where those poor stupid flight attendants are standing center and
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: they're performing, but they're not giving anything their life.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, they talk about this, they never give it anything.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Why do you think the videos had to start is
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: because these people have no presence.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: It's because we are not auditioning flight attendants anymore.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: No, And that's what happened once they remember that that
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: time in the eighties when they had actors do that job.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, the performances were stellar, but my god, these
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: flight attendants were booking out and we're leaving for an audition.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And the drinks they were getting were too strong, too.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Strong, and those peanut bags were empty.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: They were empty. They were snacking on peanuts because they
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: were so.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Stressed that broke bitches were eating.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: They were memorizing lines for their terms of endearment, audition
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: or whatever the fuck, and so.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: We had to go to non actors. And that's when
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: the whole thing fell apart, because not only are you
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: competing with the video and people's air pods, they're listening
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: to another podcast while they're watching the flights against. Mark
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Marron is my enemy.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: He is my enemy. He is.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Mark Marren is the devil because he creates a podcast
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: that is so interesting. The interviews are so candid that
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: people are not watching the flight safety videos. They are
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: simply listening to him. Say yes and tell me more
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: about that. That's all the kids are doing now. If
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I ever meet him in real life, I will tell
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: him this to his face.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Where are you from?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I want to know from everybody what airlines do you
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: work for? I know you work for Kim Kardashian, I.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Work for I work for a lot of airlines.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, said you did American too. That's a huge book
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: anc Yes.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I do, big B thank you, thank you.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: They saw a lot of my music videos. I was
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: a surfer filmer. I used to film surfers and they
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: saw my surf footage, so they hired me. That's why
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: a lot of my plane videos have waves in them like.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, this a surfer is going down the
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: aisle of this plane putting a seatbelt on.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Horrible.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: What it's not adorable.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: What would you surf? What would you surf on the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: bottom of a canna beans?
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: That's impossible. Cut the bottom of a cannob beans.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: There's nothing than a canna pentel beans, the bottom of
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: the cans.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I work for air Flugan.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Do you live in Flugen?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: So my airline is very it's very compassionate and they
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: let me tell the stories I.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Want to tell I've heard.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Is great to work with.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: They're great because they have absolutely no allegiance to the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: times which people want to travel, right. They have no
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: sense of urgency or speed. When you get into an
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: air Flugan flight, you don't care where you're going. It
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: is the number one airline for people who don't have
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: anywhere to be, for people who do not have a
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: business conference to go to.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: And that is so American.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: When you see air Flugen in the airport, it just
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: says flight departing three point fifteen arriving question mark question mark.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Question is it is the number one airline with the
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: most on Wii. I mean everyone going on that, they're
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: all looking for themselves. It's all artists, it's all writers.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's really hard to sit on that air
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: flugen a terminal because everyone's on their freaking laptops and
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: all the plugs are full because they're all charging. I mean,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: it's like a Starbucks on the sky.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: I think I heard it referred to as the e
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: prey love airlines where you get on their find yourself,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: not find your destination.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Exactly what you do.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Many people find love. We are a greater we have
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: a higher proportion of matches than E Harmony itself. Wow,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Because you know, they watch my movie, they watch my
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: flight safety video, they see the captain fall in love,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: they see two people fighting over who should be in
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: the emergency exit chair for hours before they do it themselves.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: So there is a sense of we've all been in
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: this together.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Absolutely incredible.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: It makes sense that your videos are so long because
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: nobody has anywhere to go. They're happy to watch a video.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: It's wonderful, I am. And because I've worked with other
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: airlines and there's been some problems.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Oh are you kidding?
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I think allegian they're all full of sexual harassers.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Woow, heavy, heavyarm ill saying love.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Me way, I'm being selfish tonight.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I love that accuse somewhat of sexual harassment.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Treat yourself.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: It's a me day, which means, oh no, for you,
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: I'm making big old claims.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: That gives me into a really interesting question I have
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: for you guys. When you get notes, what do you
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: guys do with your notes? Because you know, we don't
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: have a lot of the freedom, the artistic freedom we
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: have to deal with giant online corporations and also the
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: flight and safety offices of the United States of America.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Right, we have a different overhead. Right, And let's be
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: honest too, let's talk about our budgets. I mean, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: mean I I don't know what you guys are spending
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: on them, but for me, I gotta spend five ten
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars tops on these. These are these are these
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: are very very very shoe string budgets because they're I've
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: seen this movies, but we see those movies were the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: artists where the creators or the dreamers of dreams. So
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: we have to do this kind of stuff. Of course
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: it's difficult because I like to say that if it's
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: if it looks good, we're doing it, you know, and
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: that that causes me to go out of pocket for
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. I end up spending twenty thirty
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars in my own money, Oh my god, because
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I care about that.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: You get your visuals though, right I don't, not yet,
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I'm I literally I have. I have figured out a
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: password that was used on the YouTube account that posted
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: this fight safety video, and I got really close and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: then there was two factor of authentication. I got the
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: last four digits of a number and I've been looking
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna find the person who has that phone
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: number because I need to because they owe me money.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I know they're making money off of this YouTube.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the funniest YouTube video. I mean,
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: it's the funniest one that and a going down the
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: slip and slot.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: And I know it's funny, and I know it was
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: scary in the time that I'm I'm not. I'm not
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: a fool. I know that it's funny.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: It's campy.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I love camp. Camp is fun. You know. I made
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of training videos for burger King as well
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: that people love. There was a song that we used
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: about how to address a burger and and people love
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: it nowadays still and they still watch it all again.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: You gotta get the bun, you gotta put it on
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the counter, and get the meat, and get the lenis
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: and get the onion and get that sense bigger king
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Mia And that's for you.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, I get so poppy at the end.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: I just love it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: My favorite moment of nineteen ninety eight.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: They do that's incredible.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: In the industry, we all knew it, you know, of
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: course industry of industrials, but otherwise, and now they know
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: it on YouTube and I'm and that's a different So
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: the phone number for the airline video is two one
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: three four, and then the phone number for the whoever
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: posted the cheeseburger one is six five eight four. So
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: if you know the four at the end, yes, that's
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: one thing. And I've and I'm checked to see if
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: that's related.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: You're a regular.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Sure, I try, Thank you. I try. I'm not getting anywhere,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: but I try.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: I mean to answer your question, Asher, it's I directed
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: one episode of Gilmore Girls.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: And that was the highlight of my career.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: And that is when I think I realized, oh real,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I'm so sorry.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Not real.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Other directors, yes, thank you.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Other directors get so much wiggle room.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: And the biggest wall I kept hitting in terms of
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: getting notes is that we cannot change the dialogue.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: We have literal lives dependent on the dialogue.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: I was working with an actor when we had the
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: line about the seat belt double click. It was like
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: something about like double click to undo, click to do,
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: and he couldn't get it in his mouth.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: Well, you're also notorious for letting improv fly exactly exactly.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: And this poor guy, I think his name was Paul
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Yan Paulian couldn't get that line in his mouth.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: And I said, Paul, just say whatever feels good. What
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: did he end up saying, put the seatbelt under your leg?
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Interesting, that's wrong.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: And that's what happened. Yes, And then we had to
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: go back. We had to do reshoots.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: Thank god we did them. I'm thankful for the lives
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: that have been saved. When we did that reshoot. We
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: had three hundred dollars for that reshoot.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of money in this industry. That's a
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: lot of money.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Of money's a lot of money.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: So I'm that is a great question, and I think
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: we all live by these notes are important because lives
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: are at stay.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: It's true.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It's true. Our movies do kill people or keep them alive. Absolutely,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: and I believe that my videos also keep people alive
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: in the soul, you know, because if a person is
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: crashing in the ocean and they know how to put
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: on a safety vest sure, Okay, so now you have
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: the safety vest on. Does that mean you're living? Or
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: are you just alive? Holy moly, are you actually experiencing
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: things and challenging yourself as you're in the ocean. Are
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: you falling in love? Or are you just somebody with
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: a heartbeat?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Chice? You just blew my fucking brain.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, oh my god. You should be a pastor.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: And I plan to what what?
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Where?
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Would you do it?
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Where?
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Like your hometown? Yes, I will do it in my hometown.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Have a wonderful church. So what I want to talk
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: about is how we can teach future directors. What would
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: you give? What advice would you give to other industrial directors?
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: That is so good.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: If they're leaving this interview with anything, it should be
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: some advice for our industry.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, well for me, I guess.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Just thinking out loud.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: It's amazing.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: You keep floating off of your chair the more you
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: think I don't know what you're talking about.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: It's like I'm seeing a little speech bubble that goes
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: under you and you lift up in your own thoughts
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: like you're in some little dream land.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: And it's absolutely incredible.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Right now as you're talking, it looks like each of
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: your eyelashes is honey bunches of oats.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: That makes what serial? Is that a cute thing?
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Every lash of every lash of a candle? It is cute,
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: and so is honey.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Don't very well respected our tour? Our tour?
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: You're so cute in our door?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Do you say ward or two?
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, I have to ask.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: A question to you. Ask you because I want to
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: hear your advice, but I would love to get advice.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: How do you command respect on a set? Because I
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: can imagine that that you're fighting over the sound of
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: an air conditioning.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: No, I'm not, I'm not people really well, I do
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: have to have a megaphone that's attached to another megaphone, and.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I have a very very big, intimidating a d.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: That's the ticket.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: Oh, we his name was. His name is Bulldog and
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: he runs set. He will yell if you step out
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: of line. So I usually give the actors direction and
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: Bulldog really enforces it. But my, my, my advice to
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: young and aspiring director listen in, guy, lean close to
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: miss this, lean.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Close and cuddle up.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: My voice is very loud, but if you could silence
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: your phones, that would be nice right now for me,
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: because I've heard them. My voice is very quiet.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: And I bet it gets titty when there's when the
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: phones are too close to your voice, it.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Gets very titty. I get so many titties. Is that
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: what you said?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: No titty like interfer it?
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I do get titties.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: Your mouth says titty.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: That's adorable.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: Your mouth looks like it's it's hot.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: It's hot, and it's grody.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I bet you're a sweet lover.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: I'm I am.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I knew it.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Finally he agrees on something that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Finally the little angel.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, Asher, give us your freaking advice.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Bother, oh, bother, my, this always happened.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: The frequency of honey, yes, honey, bunches of no.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: I promise, I'm a very etchy director. Oh here we
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: go again.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, he's quoting Disney characters as he's frustrated.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: To a tiny pee? What would you? Would you be
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: able to sing it to?
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Song?
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: Sing you is as.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Cute a questions.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: You would you sing to a pe?
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: I love this question.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: I actually don't want any advice from you as I
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: want you. I want to know if you would sing
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: to the p or the be.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: In this situation. I have no idea, but I guess
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: so no ge oh my, oh golly, I don't know.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: I guess that I would sing to the P. I
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: would want to.
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: I would love a second to talk about my art,
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: but I'm getting the signal.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: We need to move home.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: What's your advice, god zeus?
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: My advice would be to find the storytelling point in
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: into each instruction. What does each instruction telling? Because each
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: instruction within a flight safety video exists in a different genre.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: You brought up putting someone else's mask on before you
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: put your own mask on. That is a children's movie.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: That is a children's TV show, so that area must
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: be filmed in very bright colors with big mascots. On
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: the other hand, water landing, We're all probably going to die.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: That is a horror film.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: So my advice to young directors don't be a flight
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: afraid to play with genre.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Wow, what's your favorite genre to play with?
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: My favorite genre to play with is the rom com.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: Oh we all grew.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Up with rom coms for sure.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: That's a girl, Yes, yes, where'd you grow up?
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: So?
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: What a rum com does for a flight safety video
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: is the part where you are where where where we're
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: we're talking about the role of the flight attendant and
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: how you can call them using the call button. Now
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: that is explained. I like to plant pay homage with
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: a forty five minute reenactment of the scene in Love
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Actually where they're holding the cards above the heads.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Seven at forty five minute homage maybe five times as
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: long as the actual moment I would say, I would
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: say ten, maybe ten. I would say that to you.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: That's probably a minute thirty tops that month.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Could you imagine that would be longer than your flight?
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I Actually, Love Actually did come after me a
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: little bit because they said I was ruining the legacy
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: of the film.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Gosh, you don't want to Love actually to come after
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: that's a lot of people. That's a home to fifteen.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Love actually came after my cousin for fraud. My god,
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: it was scary and he's still in legal hell.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: It's crazy what that movie did because get to clarify,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the studio did.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Not come after me.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: The General distribution company did not come after me. It
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: was the movie itself.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: How many different storylines. It felt like it was just
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: an ip grab at that point.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they just try to make that movie to grab
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: as many iyep's as they could.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: They really did. It was really, really tough, incredible.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: I think my advice to anyone doing flight safety videos
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: or industrial videos of any kind would be I want
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: you to strap up, get a cup of selfish tea,
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: and I want you to slurp, slurp so that tea,
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: and be the most selfish person you can in this industry. Now,
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: I want to correct myself earlier today I said to
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: be a woman in Hollywood you have to be selfish.
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: I think to be a human in Hollywood you have
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: to be selfish, and that means picking yourself at all
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: hours of the day.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Have I ever considered running for office?
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Never for you, but it might be as a joke,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: so sweet if I got joke boats.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: So I feel like you're talking a lot about selfishness
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: in a broad sense. What do you find selfish?
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: I say, put yourself first. Fuck yourself first. I love
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: that for you, Bob, I'm having trouble keeping.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: A husband because I'm selfish in the bedroom. Okay, but
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: I just mean put yourself first. If Ikia wants you
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: to hurry it up because they just want to take
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: visuals of someone putting in a lazy boy chair and
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: putting the legs on it, you tell them fuck off.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Buddy. It's my moment.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I love that. I love that. If I had to
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: give you one piece of advice, I would say, look,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: make it scary, make it funny, make it sad, make
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: it spooky, make it romantic, make it wonderful. But for
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: God's sakes, make it interesting.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: That is.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Just so good. So what can I say?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: What can I say? I try my hardest. I try.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: We all have to try our hardest. But we have
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: to do something that makes us interesting. We have to
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: do something that spikes our interest, makes it get just going.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. Can I ask you what
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: you do?
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: What do I do? Now? Yeah?
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I run this little bar. I run this little bar
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: in No Ho, North Hollywood. It's called Fuckies, and we
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: do a lot of fun little stuff in there, and
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: we have different theme nights and it's basically like a
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: high school theme night every night of the week. You know,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: it's like a like you remember Pep Brows, Remember you
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: see it ready for Pep Browns. We had nerd Day,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: we had Hawaiian Shirt Day, all that kind of stuff.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: I love.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: You're the last remaining carpeted bar in No Hope.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I am this carpets and bars.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I love carpets, and I won't get rid of this carpet.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: This carpet was actually bought by Jahagabor in nineteen seventy six.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: Absolutely incredible.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: It is amazing. And the stories carpet tells. Hardwood floorers
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: don't keep any stories. Time I was walking around, I
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: was walking around and I looked in and there was
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: something in the carpet. It was one of Ron Jeremy's
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: pubic hairs.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, how did you know? It was absolutely incredible.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I can spot a puba care on any person, any
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: any single person. Show me pubic care. I can tell
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: you who.
