INTERVIEWER 1: You recorded your videos together, sort of
are partners.
ANDREA DESROSIERS: Yeah.
INTERVIEWER 1: Are you excited, nervous?
ANDREA DESROSIERS: You're excited.
I can tell.
He was all bouncy when he came in.
INTERVIEWER 1: Really?
What was the hardest part about the class?
Or maybe about making the projects.
ANDREA DESROSIERS: So I'll go first.
For me, it was a lot of psychological barriers.
First of all, being on camera.
And I think you have shared that as well.
And then just channeling the rusty, disused, artistic part
of my brain, which really only comes to the fore
when I'm under extreme pressure and I
know I have 24 hours to get something done.
But that's when I felt the most creative.
It had to be a lot of pressure though.
INTERVIEWER 1: Nathan, how did it
feel doing the second cut this time?
NATHAN HERNANDEZ: The second cut I thought I had a better chance
to fix the little things and work on putting the finishing
touches, I guess.
INTERVIEWER 1: Do you feel different-- better, worse--
about being in front of the camera?
Same?
NATHAN HERNANDEZ: Probably the same.
INTERVIEWER 1: Probably the same.
NATHAN HERNANDEZ: I don't think it got any worse, at the very
least.
INTERVIEWER 1: That's good.
INTERVIEWER 2: How are you feeling right now?
INTERVIEWER 1: Yeah, like you guys
are being super natural right now, totally on camera.
NATHAN HERNANDEZ: I have my nervous leg [LAUGHTER] shake.
INTERVIEWER 1: But, I don't know.
I feel like a lot of people were selling themselves short,
thinking that they were not good on camera.
But you guys were on camera the entire time
the class was going on.
And everyone's very compelling.
Everyone's very natural.
What piece of advice would you give
to people who would be interested in making
educational videos?
NATHAN HERNANDEZ: I guess it would
be to try not to worry too much about the actual part
where you're on camera because it's painful,
but if you keep doing it enough times,
eventually you'll get a cut where you say something
all right.
INTERVIEWER 1: So this class was super high-paced,
very condensed.
Do you think it would work as a semester-long class?
Or do you prefer it as sort of this [INAUDIBLE]?
ANDREA DESROSIERS: Oh, I would love it
as a semester-long class, in particular because learning
editing, more advanced editing techniques, learning more about
animation, which I think for an educational video is
really critical to convey the ideas that you want to.
And I know that's one thing I didn't really have time to do.
And that made me sad.
Oh well.
INTERVIEWER 1: How about you, Nathan?
NATHAN HERNANDEZ: More or less the same feeling.
I feel like there's things that could be expanded on.
But I also do like the idea that you just have three weeks,
and at the end you've got something out
of it, which is also cool.
