Hello All!

This is the bonus footage from my i^i video: https://youtu.be/9tlHQOKMHGA

It's a quick video this week (but the video next week is going to be something special). So here is a behind the scenes angle of me recording the video with my quick-turnaround set-up.

This is also going up four or so hours early before the main video goes live. So if you spot any critical mistakes: tell me fast!

For your i's only

This is the behind-the-scenes Patreon video for my video about i^i. https://youtu.be/9tlHQOKMHGA From this Patreon post:

Ahhhh, complex numbers, I guess I will have to "imagine" I understood it all ^^. Also, are you planning a jurasic park video with this t-rex finger ?

Matt Parker

Yes, it is a bit of a complex video! (And no, the toe is not for a video; I'm just a big fan.)

Valkhiya

You know, since i is a quarter circle it could be even cooler to have a factor of 1/4 in there somehow

Matt Parker

That would be cool but I just don't think there is a way…

Matt: I know you are not a convert, but you know you should have used Tau, right?

Rachel

Huh. Neat. I never really thought about it much, but always assumed that with this sort of thing, you (or other creators) were just kind of gesticulating at the air in appropriate places and then having the animations done afterwards to match your gesticulations. The actual way of doing it is much more elegant and makes much more sense.

Christopher Perman

I agree with Patrick W. Gilmore. E to the i*tau equals one. Glorious.

Cubase Academy

Yes, I agree with Rachel, neat. Would you mind sharing what software you are using? I currently use Adobe Captivate to record my screens for my Cubase Academy channel, but I'd like to do more with green screen and chroma-keying.

"The solution here, when it comes to this problem is... Don't worry about it." Classic Matt Parker.

Matt Parker

Yes, but e^iτ = 1 is just a case of x^0 = 1 which I think loses some of the magic.

Matt Parker

Often I will do everything in the air and then render the animations to match after. But that takes loads of time. I had actually made the slides ages ago and never had time to record the video. I wanted to get this video out before the next one, so I switch to this method where I advance the slides with a foot pedal and capture it as I go.

Matt Parker

I use keynote to make and display the slides on a pure #00FF00 green background. Then I capture with iShowU and use Final Cut to chroma-key the green out and put it on the footage.

Cubase Academy

Thanks Matt. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Pavel Lishin

Do you need me to up my Patreon support level so you can paint the rest of that room? I worry.
