Literally a square route (Patreon)

Thanks for all the great comments on my recent “How to find a square root” video. When I realised the square root approximation from my pi day video was getting so much attention I wanted to release the rest of the root footage on my main channel.But I didn’t want to just release it as-is. To justify putting out footage which was already online (albeit only on the second channel) I wanted to add something new and fun. This is why I filmed the intro and conclusion of the video in a forest and a square. I filmed both bits yesterday and released the video a few hours later.There is a bit of debate in the comments about if my trip on the tree root as I say “found the root” was deliberate or an accident. I can confirm it was very deliberate and I went to a forest to get exactly that shot. I knew I wasn’t adding any maths in the intro so I had to add some kind of elaborate joke.To plan it out I started standing on the root and walked the other way while talking through roughly what I was going to say. I then turned around and filmed myself walking back to the root. What you see in the final video is the second take. The first take I got to the root too quickly so the second time I started a bit further back and managed to hit the timing.The conclusion to the video is filmed in Trafalgar Square in London. I thought that going from a root to a square would be a nice structure for the video and plenty of comments picked up  on that.But sometimes I put in extra jokes just for myself that I don’t think any one else would ever bother spotting.  Which I did this time and thought you fine patreon supporters might enjoy.In the background of the Trafalgar Square shot you can see two of the roads which border the square and there are the classic red London busses driving along those roads. I picked that shot so the background would be the bus route for Trafalgar Square. Those busses are literally on a square route.I’ll see myself out.
