And I do feel a little weird about it.
17:26
So, I mean, you started this with talking about Cain Parsons' stance against AI.
17:33
Cain grew up building and crafting worlds with his own two hands on his computer.
17:39
And the love of the craft is what drives him.
17:42
The love of making movies, collaborating with other artists is what drives so many people.
17:48
Um, that I work with and like, it's, it's what let obsession exist.

I was curious why you were interested in that nomenclature difference.
42:34
Do we do this the same way? And did you use After Effects to begin with? Or was that tape to tape? Or what did you do now?
42:40
Yeah.

So it started with obviously the sets and the production design and the lighting of how to create the movie version of this world where we're now actually seeing characters.
43:10
We're seeing people in this space We never saw people like faces and humans, actors in the YouTube series.
43:19
So very quickly we realized, whereas the original Backroom's image, it wasn't yellow walls.
