hey uh what are we making this week Oh how about something from farcry new dog all right what do you want to make from that how about the judge will do his mask all right sounds good that's awesome tell you what meet me in the shop I'll be in there in like five minutes I have a little more work to do ooh nice shot judge what what this video is brought to you by Skillshare hey there fellow maker welcome down to the shop bill here and today i'm making something from one of my favorite recent video games far cry new dawn boom it's the judges mask I've been playing the crap out of this game I leveled the judge all the way up and he shoots a ton of arrows it's amazing so I figured the mask would be a really fun project I could probably crank out in like a day or two I already have all the materials I need - why don't we just dive right in these reference images are actually from Ubisoft they released a whole character reference image pack I blew this up in Photoshop so it was the right size for my face and then I just traced the outline in sharpie to make it a little more obvious where everything is I've got a side view and a front view and that should be enough for us to be able to make a foam pattern out of it and yes I'm making this out of Eevee a foam it's gonna be all super old-school but we're gonna start with a different kind of foam this is insulation foam that I got from the hardware store down the street it comes in large sheets I just cut it down to a manageable size and I have two pieces I need to glue together the side view of my part is a little bit taller than one piece of foam hence the need for two of them so to glue them together I'm gonna grab some spray adhesive I'm gonna spray the adhesive on both sides then let it sit for about 30 seconds and then press them together one side down there's adhesive on both sides they've had plenty of time to dry about a minute and now I can just stick them together and press it down now that'll provide a pretty strong bond if this was gonna be permanent we'd let it dry for a lot longer but we're gonna start cutting this out now because we only really need this once we get our pattern then we can throw it away this line I use this to cut wood with a circular saw on the floor so there's a little line there but we're gonna chew through that don't worry about it the pattern just goes on there and I can trace it and this is just from the front view we'll use the side view later to figure out the depth and sort of contour but this will get us the primary front on shape of the mask there we go I want to cut out the perimeter here and I could totally use this handsaw and just sort of cut slices off but I'm gonna move this over to the bandsaw the next thing I'm going to do is drill out the eyes and I grabbed a spade bit because it's long enough to go all the way through our phone here so it turns out my drill press won't travel far enough to go all the way through so I have my hand drill and I'm just gonna finish it up by hand just making sure I'm staying as perpendicular to the surface as possible the plan is to use this spindle sander to clear out all of this but it's not quite tall enough I don't need all of this material so I'm gonna slice a little bit off we have a little bit less to work with let's do that on the bandsaw it's too big for the pants off too tall anyway though there's not enough clearance here so I'm gonna have to cut that by hand so we don't need all of this material up here we can lose a little more than an inch but I'm gonna leave some extra so I think I'll take an inch off of here and I can use my one two three block to mark that because it is an inch tall so I can just kind of go around like that and draw my line this is why even though I have several band saws I keep hand saws on hand they are very useful I'm just gonna trace that line until I get a good groove going and then I'll go through the whole thing tada this will be the back so I don't care that it's kind of kind of messed up there we go time to do some sanding [Music] our mask is cut out we got the front profile done but now we want to get the side profile I don't have a view of the top so I'm gonna have to eyeball that but I can take my side view and get a rough idea of what the profile oughta look like now this is probably a little a little higher than that since I rolled it over but I'll I'll figure it out as I trim it because obviously the bottom of the chin should go all the way down there so this might be more like that's the bottom there that may be more like that the good news is I can whittle my way down to the profile that I want kind of sneak up on it if you will now it's time to start hacking away at this to get it down to the form that we want and I have my saw again but it would be really great if I had like an electric version of this wait a minute what here we go that's pretty great that doesn't leave a lot of dusts I like it some hacking pieces off to kind of match this profile leaving plenty of extra so I have room to refine it later but this is really just harping away the bulk of it I don't have a top down view so I'm kind of guessing on the profile here this thing is working pretty well if you own a hot wire cutter this is a great application for that I don't have one so I'm going to go with the electric knife for the rest of the forming I'm gonna go with sandpaper this is 100 grit you could even go a little bit more aggressive than that but I'm not using any power tools this foam is really easy to dent with just a fingernail so like a file or something might just rip into it so I'm gonna do the rest by hand and again just sneak up on that last form concentrate on the on the side profile that I'm pretty confident about and then try and feather the rest of it together [Music] I didn't do anything perfectly clean the basic form of our mask is done and in fact you could finish this to be a wearable mask you could scoop out the back of it and seal it somehow but I'm gonna turn it into a pattern that we can then use on evey a foam and then that pattern can be reused in fact I'll link it down below so long as I don't goof it up in between now and then the first thing I want to do is wrap up my mask in plastic wrap you can use stuff from your kitchen I just happen to have this stuff here and this is gonna create a protective barrier between our mask and the duct tape we're gonna put on it in a little bit now that it's all wrapped up I can cover it in duct tape and this is the cheap stuff don't waste your good duct tape on this because we're just gonna end up growing it out and we'll re-register those eyes in a little bit here's our duct tape form just about ready to go I doubled up the duct tape in both directions just make it nice and durable so it doesn't fall apart when I peel it off I'm gonna start by cutting out a rough idea of where the eyeballs go will widen that as we kind of figure out where the edge is the next thing I need to do is figure out roughly where my seams need to go so I can cut this out and lay it flat and make our pattern thinking the obvious choice is right down the middle I'm thinking the other one will just be right across the eyes like so I'm not too worried about this not being symmetrical it's supposed to look like it's hand carved out of wood so I'm going to pattern both sides and if they're a little different that's that's Oh quite okay I also want to include some registration marks usually used to line everything up later I could also start labeling stuff too so like this seam here could be a maybe this seam here is B and so on I think I am going to start by trying to cut the whole mask off and again if this seam ends up being a little wobbly that just adds to the rustic charm of this hand-carved mask get rid of that and this hop right off oh look at that I can even wear it hey wait hold on I have no notice all my glasses I think this is gonna work now we can cut it apart this really does not want to lay flat probably because I use two layers of duct tape and it seems like the scissors are best way to cut it apart one down it's in two pieces now and it still doesn't want to lay flat so that's why we have the other scheme there now hopefully these want to lay flat but we may have to include some more darts yeah that's still not quite round enough so we may need to add a couple darts that's okay we'll figure that out in a minute because these won't lay flat I'm gonna cut a slit in them if this doesn't work I can tape it back together and try it in a different location but I I'm pretty confident it's gonna work also before I cut it I'm gonna add a couple of registration lines here then I'll help us stitch it back together just like that it weighs much flatter awesome so I'll do that to the rest of them and we'll be good to go these patterns will be transferred to paper but before I do that I'm gonna use this pattern notching tool to notch all of my registration marks that way I can transfer them to the paper these just take a little bite out of the edge there let's go a little notch I'm transferring my patterns to some thicker cardstock paper this is gonna be a lot easier to manage when I'm dealing with my foam have a nice flat pattern piece and making sure to trace all of these little notches that I added these are going to be critical later when I'm gluing my foam together to make sure that these seams are glued together nice and lined up and there we go I can transfer my notes and yeah let's do them all like that there we go my patterns are nice and flat and laid out I can cut them out so that I can use them to make my foam parts I will eventually go and trace this as a vector and have a downloadable file so you can follow along if you want but I wanted to showcase the whole says so that you could do this with literally any mass that you want this type of patterning is really common with things like well anything with a compound curve like a mask or a shoulder bell like shoulder armor that's kind of bell shaped this is totally how you would do that same exact way we will be making our mask out of UVA foam this piece is about 10 millimeters thick I would say half-inch ish and I can just chuck my patterns over there and trace them out for this dark foam I'm using a white marker these things are super useful for painting or drawing on foam and again I'm making sure to get those registration marks there so that when I put all this together it'll line up perfectly and there we go I'm gonna avoid drawing too much stuff on there so I don't have to remove it later but I'll keep this pattern as a reference first thing I'll do is cut this into some smaller pieces so it's a little easier to work with I've got my sharpener here and I'm gonna make sure my plate is super super sharp want to make sure these cuts are as clean as possible make sure the blade doesn't wander nice perpendicular cuts right along that line the dart here I'm using a smaller knife have a little more control sure I cut all the way down to the mat and then pull it all the way through nice and nice and slowly then we'll do the same thing on the other side over here there we go we glue that together it should help us make the the appropriate form I'm gonna cut the eye out but I'm leaving a little extra material once this is glued together I will use the rotary tool to clean that up the next thing I want to do is preform this a little bit get it closer to that rounded shape and I need heat to do that make this nice and soft I also put a piece of wood down so I don't melt my cutting mat and I also have a foam anvil this one's actually from evil Ted thanks Ted I'm going to use that to help round over the forms like this this will help give it that complex curb that we want when we glue the seams together that'll really kind of finish it off for us but this this helps it get closer to that sooner so this is what it looks like after that's what it looked like before we have just a little bit of pre curve in it and that's gonna help us out a ton later for the gluing I'll be using contact cement and I'm gonna start with all the darts so I'll do all the darts first and then I'll attach all the parts together I think I'm gonna brush two layers of contact cement on I'm making sure I cover everything but I also don't want to have any pooling so I can use a little foam scrap to help spread it and then in the gap right there I just want to make sure I don't have a big old pool of glue waiting for me so I'm gonna brush this one layer on give it about five minutes to dry and then brush the second layer on and while I'm doing all of it I'm gonna put on my respirator it's been about five minutes there's two layers of bars on here and now I can stick them together and this is when those registration marks come in handy cause I want to make sure that this seams goes together exactly the way it came apart just like that I can push really hard to get that seam to stick together and that's pretty good that's that's just about as clean as I could get a seam like that will have a way to hide that later I'll show you but for now I gotta get the rest of these stuck together just trying to make sure that the two sides come together at the same level as flush as possible yeah there we go our parts are almost ready to go they just need to get glued together along the other seam so I'm gonna do the same thing using my barge I'm gonna go over and brush all the edges that have registration marks on them those are the ones that are gonna get glued together just like before brush on two thin layers and then I can stick on my parts together and of course I'll be wearing my respirator that's the one hole let me finish the seam I'll just do this one seam okay fine I'll put it on I have two layers of barge and all my seams were ready to go I think I'm in attach the two sides and then attach those together that way I can make sure my eyes are nice and lined up I always really take my time when I'm putting seams together like this and the eyeball goes there and I really push those seams together there we go there is a cat hair that looks like a willow hair she's the fluffy one good I'm sure there's no more cat hair on this problem it's perfectly clean and we want to be able to make this seam vanish when we do our finishing work so we're gonna help ourselves out by really focusing and making sure that it's nice and even I'm really just kind of lining everything up right now it's sticking because I put two layers of bars on there but I'll come back once it's lined up and press it all together to form a more secure bond yeah so now I'll push it together I'll even push the seam in so that the top half of it this side compared to this side the top half will press together that's the side that matters if the back isn't perfectly lined up who cares we're never gonna see that at the top we want to look really nice this is what we have so far and this is what we were kind of going for obviously this needs to be shaped a little bit more I'll use the heat gun to warm it up and do more of the shaping but before I do that I want to give the seams a little bit more time to dry and I need to enlarge these eyes a little bit so I'm gonna grab my rotary tool start doing a little work on those fellows [Music] [Music] [Applause] more progress I use my rotary tool to clean up all the edges just sort of round them over so they're nice and smooth but I also did a little bit of sculpting around the eyes the reference here is fairly plain but we can see there's some some shading under the brow there so it should be a little bit contoured and I can sneak up on that a little bit more later but now is time to do a little more heat forming because the the profile of this isn't quite the same as our reference so I'm going to heat it up with heat gun do some more hand forming the jaw bottom part is much more slender like that and it may take a couple of tries I may have to heat it up a couple times but I'll get it there you do want to be careful the the glue seams are still fresh and that he can start splitting it out so if you heat it up too much your seams might fall apart just a little bit of a balancing act that's getting it's getting closer looks like the top needs to come in a little bit too while I'm working on that I'd like to take a moment to thank the sponsor of this video skill chair skill chair is an online learning

video and providing a valuable resource to creative types like Pete alright let's get back to the build a little bit thinner and I think we're there I think the next thing we need to do is think about all that wood grain for our wood grain I'm gonna draw it on freehand using my reference so first thing I'm gonna do is draw it on with a white marker and then we'll go use a wood burner to make the permanent changes this is there's some battle damage on there too and that's gonna have to be deeper I think so there's like this X here I'll just make it a little thicker on here so I know that needs to be deeper to add my wood grain I've got a wood burner or a soldering iron would work too one important thing you definitely don't want to breathe in the smoke coming off of burnt EBA foam obviously very well ventilated area we have a fan as well if you're doing this at home I recommend doing it outside [Music] [Music] [Music] you can already tell how much that texture adds to the the mask and I'm really excited with how it's turning out stick that there there we go so this area where I glued it is eventually where we're gonna put a strap some elastic or something to hold it on my head for now I have this on there so I can hold it and then once that's fully cured I can just cut this out and put my face in there it's finally time to tackle some of these seams now I did an okay job of hiding them but just to make sure that they go away completely I'm gonna fill them in with some quick seal there we go then I can just use a damp finger to level that out might take a couple layers but that'll that'll help us out a lot this will dry kind of shiny and if you were gonna just paint put paint right over it it would be really obvious that that's where you did some work we're gonna go over this with a sealant and that will make that the sort of shininess match so the this part will be shiny this part won't be but if we cover the whole thing in and Mod Podge then it'll all be the same the same shininess our quick seal is all dry I left it overnight just to make sure and it looks pretty good now it's time to seal it and for the sealing I've decided to go with Mod Podge any other PVA should work pretty well I chose this one specifically because it leaves brushstrokes which normally is not ideal but in this case I want to put the brushstrokes on in a way that follows the wood grain and hopefully add a little bit of texture first I just want to cover it and if you thinned this with a little bit of water it would it would cover better and probably not leave as many brushstrokes but I want that so I'm just going nutty I'm just gonna cover it make sure I get it down in the cracks there and I'm just covering it the best I can right now and then I'll go back over it and sort of even up brushstrokes what the ceiling does for us is it makes the surface of the foam nice and uniform it also makes it really good at grabbing onto paint a lot of times the cut edges of foam the sort of fuzzy edges will soak up the paint and it'll lead this the the paint finish really inconsistent and there's a lot of different ways to seal fault we have we have a handful of different videos this is also great because I don't need to work outside I'm not spraying anything it's all hand brushed so if you work in a small environment like a dorm room or a bedroom this is a really good option it's all hand brushed the layers I've already put on are starting to gel up a little bit and eventually it'll when I manipulate it it'll start pilling which I don't want but right now it's at this nice state where I can almost sculpt in these brushstrokes like they are what green but once it starts to kind of clump up as you brush it you're done you got to let it dry all right now whew I've thought about brushing it all up on the inside here but I need to glue some foam in there so that it's comfortable on my face and I need to glue straps and some cloth so I'm not gonna cover the inside of it I don't think that's necessary I've got a clamp on a stick and I will use that to hold it while it dries we let the Mod Podge dry for about an hour and it's looking great I love the texture on here so I don't think I need to put a second layer on the deeper parts haven't fully dried yet there's still some lighter Mod Podge in there I'm not too worried about it I'm just gonna move forward and start painting this I mean when has my impatience ever bit me in the face it should be fine that looks nice ooh look at that I did a poor job of sealing that the next thing I want to do then is to prime this so we have a nice even base coat of paint my primer is a little cold because it's just been sitting in the shop I'm gonna put it in a bucket of warm water to warm it up for about 10 minutes because remember friends don't let friends spray paint with paint that's too cold to to paint right okay good I love how this is turning out the primer did a pretty good job of covering everything the texture looks really nice so now it's time to do the painting and I'm gonna do it all by hand with a brush I have some acrylic paints here I like my heavy body ones these liquitex ones are great I don't have any white so I'm using this white here it should be just fine I don't want it to be pure white I want it to have a little bit of warmth so I'm mixing in a little bit of this was this raw Sienna just to darken it a little bit and I might do a couple of passes with a couple of different values to mix it up a little bit we'll see yeah that'll do I think this first pass and you can see just how much warmer that is then the base primer this first pass is really just to get coverage and make sure everything is got a layer of paint on it this is my second layer I think this will be enough there's a couple spots where the paint's a little thin so I'm just making sure I get everything nice and covered oh hi there the paint is mostly dry so I'm gonna move on and seal it with some varnish I wanted to do some weathering over this with more acrylic paints I want to make sure they don't interact with the paints I put down so a couple of good coats of varnish I like varnish because it stays flexible and also dries really fast it's time to do some weathering I really want to get some paint down into these crevasses that I did with the wood-burning tool and I have more of my acrylic paints ready to go nothing too crazy here just like black and brown I really just want to get that contrast and smudge this surface up a little bit do a quick little test here make sure it looks the way I want to look before I commit to the whole thing take a cloth and it's not all coming off so I'm gonna cloth all wet and that can wipe away any extra that I want and that's that's quite a lot there I might thin this a little bit more [Music] [Music] doing one more wash of much lighter brown just to lighten these lines even more fortunately all these layers we put on will mingle and help create a more complex finish I think it looks pretty great don't need this anymore and go away almost done just a couple more final touches you cannot see the judges eyes so I have some sheer black cloth now I can see through this just fine up close to me but you probably can't see in when it's in the mask I promise you won't be able to see in to help the hot glue stick to the foam I'm just gonna put some score marks around where the glue is gonna go this will let the glue seep into those cuts I'm doing and it will bond much better that way I can hit that with a heat gun and open it up just gonna attack one side down first let's get this kind of lined up alright now I can peel that back and it's not gonna run away on us and we can do the rest of it go man do you think very effective to cut out the extra eye bits I have my wood burner here and I can just trace around it and the good news about this is it should keep the ends the cut ends from fraying because they are melted hopefully it comes right out nice that was hot glue peeled up tada to attach this guy to my face I want to put a strap around it and I could just use elastic and I am still gonna use a little bit of elastic but I figured to make it look a little more authentic I could use some leather happen to have some right here I don't know what kind of leather this is but I'm not gonna condition under stain it or anything I'm just gonna go with this color I do want to attach it to the mask with a little bit of elastic so it's got some give hopefully to make it more comfortable the first thing I need to do is cut out some leather straps I have a buckle here and that's the width I'm gonna cut my straps this is set up for 3/4 inch wide straps so I've got it set here on my strap cutter I cut a little more than I would need to fit through so I can pull it this seems like a much easier way to do this oh look at that so just cut it to get it started then you can pull it through that looks great kind of makes me wish I had asked our buddy Bjorn a few more questions about this tool when we had him in the shop but I did learn a lot of other leather work and stuff in that project that's a good video too to attach the buckle to here I'm gonna punch a slot in it this will go around in there so right here is kind of where I want the slot to go and I have a slot punch you could just punch two holes and then connect them with a sharp knife but if you've got one of these things they are awfully handy perfect so that goes around there just like that perfect now I'll punch a hole in here and we can rivet that thing together this can go through like that I'm gonna double-check everything looks correct very good and then I'll put my cap on and set that in there this is domed so that's gonna go on the top once again we're gonna hit it with a hammer excellent so that's one side and then the other side we'll just cut a nice decorative end on it and punch some holes in it and then I'm just gonna make a mark every half inch or so give it a shot that would go in like that yeah that's exactly what we want all right I'll go punch the rest of them like an A win any awards with that hole punching but it'll get the job done now I can put that through there and tuck this through there and leave that now this gives me room to adjust it but I will fit this into the mask as it is so that it fits me very well but if someone else wants to wear it they could adjust it next step will be some elastic and I'm cutting an arbitrary length of it here more than I need so that I can trim it down later I'm gonna glue this in first and then we can attach the leather to it like so I've already scored that area with the knife hopefully that helps with hot glue stick a little nicer here we go I'm gonna stick that down and then I like to put hot glue around the edge of it to help keep it from peeling up and then across the back here so that hopefully it won't pull off this way to test this out I've got these little clips usually used for sewing I'm gonna use them to clip my leather to the elastic temporarily so I can do a little bit of a fitting let's see if it fits on this handsome gentleman that's actually very close I think I can attach it just like that like that like that this would be able to go through there no problem sure thing I don't think I can get in here with a hammer to do this rivet so Britt had an idea I'm gonna use these vise grips I'm also going to wrap a piece of leather around it so I don't totally ruin the surface finish on that rivet let's see how it goes that it actually worked really well it's a little dinged up but it's the post-apocalyptic world I think we can say that looks all right to protect my face got some nice squishy upholstery foam I'm just gonna cut off a hunk of this this can go in where my forehead goes so it doesn't need to be quite that long actually I'm going to put a little bevel on that and put a little bevel on that so that at all fit in there all nice and snug fitting number two nice and squishy thing for my face all right kind of comfortable my nose is touching but I may put some foam where my cheeks are too to push it away a tiny bit but overall that's pretty good stick guess this is us now that should do it all I have to do is put it on [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] there is the judge facemask build of course I just threw a sort of Harry Potter style cape that we had lying around on him but it looks pretty good and who knows maybe at some point in the future I'll build the rest of the costume it's not a promise it's a maybe it's a very solid maybe thanks so much for hanging out with the build if you want to try this one out the pattern that I made for this that'll be free on our website link will be down in the description you can download it and print it out and try and make it yourself but this is also a fairly good sort of generic mask shape so you could probably use it to build any number of other character faces or masks as always the tools and materials that we use for this project are linked down below in the description and of course I want to thank our sponsor again Skillshare it's a really fantastic website I go there to learn all sorts of wonderful stuff you can get free access for two months if you're one of the first 500 people to hit that link that's sk l dot sh /pun --is-- props that'll do it for this build today thank you so much for hanging out with me in the shop and I'll catch you in the next one time to do some weathering especially the deep parts I got with the wood burning tool burning Barney

it
skip
it
open
that
up
so
we
also
have
to
give
a
shout
out
to
young
yeah
I
got
a
lot
of
this
information
from
his
video
it
has
kept
me
in
loop
and
I'll
have
a
link
to
his
video
below
in
the
description
I
got
a
lot
of
the
information
from
him
I'm
a
subscriber
of
his
he
does
excellent
videos
and
if
it
wasn't
for
his
video
it
would
be
tough
to
get
a
lot
of
this
info
together
so
thank
you
very
much
young
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
give
credit
where
credit's
due
but
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
letting
making
me
even
aware
as
to
what
was
going
on
because
I've
been
busy
capturing
footage
for
my
iPhone
11
Pro
review
which
is
going
up
soon
don't
want
to
give
a
day
yet
because
I
still
got
a
lot
to
do
right
after
I
record
this
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
got
this
video
out
there
because
it
was
too
important
to
talk
about
so
there
are
protests
going
on
in
Hong
Kong
and
I'm
not
gonna
go
too
much
into
detail
because
I
also
don't
want
to
completely
turn
this
video
into
politics
but
this
is
from
BBC
News
the
story
in
a
hundred
words
as
to
what's
going
on
in
Hong
Kong
Hong
Kong
protests
started
in
June
against
proposals
to
allow
extradition
to
mainland
China
critics
fear
this
can
undermine
the
city's
judicial
independence
and
endanger
dissidents
a
former
British
colony
Hong
Kong
has
some
autonomy
and
more
rights
in
the
mainland
under
a
one
country
two
systems'
deal
city
leader
Carrie
Lam
agreed
to
suspend
the
bill
but
demonstrations
continued
and
developed
to
include
demands
for
full
democracy
and
an
inquiry
into
police
actions
the
bill
was
fully
withdrawn
in
September
clashes
between
police
and
activists
have
been
becoming
increasingly
with
police
using
tear
gas
and
activists
storming
Parliament
so
basically
there
you
go
in
a
nutshell
Hong
Kong
wants
to
keep
their
independence
from
mainland
China
because
China
is
a
communist
country
and
it's
they
have
like
a
social
tear
system
which
I've
talked
about
before
where
if
they
think
you're
talking
bad
about
the
Chinese
government
they
can
knock
you
down
on
the
social
social
tear
and
you
won't
be
able
to
you
go
on
airplanes
or
get
certain
jobs
so
on
and
so
forth
it's
really
like
Orwellian
like
real
Orwellian
crap
going
on
there
so
anyway
what
this
is
have
to
do
with
a
hearthstone
eSports
player
well
during
a
postgame
interview
blitz
Chung
was
being
interviewed
by
two
broadcasters
and
he
had
this
to
say
it's
in
Mandarin
I'll
tell
you
what
he
said
afterwards
take
a
look
judge
on
the
ballot
now
table
over
to
cheer
suomesta
made
up
a
ala
nah
it's
okay
guys
India
yeah
Tencent
Ava
hmm
it's
all
good
I'm
watching
Pokemon
to
follow
but
I
thought
now
from
what
I've
gathered
I
don't
speak
Mandarin
blitz
Chung
said
liberate
Hong
Kong
revolution
of
our
age
and
the
two
casters
who
ducked
down
towards
the
end
of
the
video
from
what
I've
also
gathered
were
in
on
it
they
weren't
just
innocent
bystanders
they
were
they
wanted
him
to
say
it
and
they
I
guess
they
pretended
like
oh
my
god
I
can't
believe
he
just
said
that
about
China
no
so
they
got
in
trouble
for
that
as
well
now
his
statement
seems
harmless
and
from
what
I've
gathered
with
what's
going
on
in
Hong
Kong
I
agree
with
the
people
there
you
know
mainland
China
it's
not
a
pretty
praised
place
to
live
in
terms
of
their
government
man
they
really
have
the
control
of
their
people
and
Hong
Kong
wants
nothing
to
do
with
it
and
it
wasn't
like
lits
Chung
was
trying
to
get
people
over
there
to
do
something
against
police
so
on
and
so
forth
he
was
just
saying
I
want
to
see
Hong
Kong
keep
it
keep
its
freedoms
that's
it
that's
all
he
said
and
because
of
that
he
actually
had
to
take
back
his
the
prize
money
he
went
during
a
hearthstone
competition
he
had
to
give
that
$10,000
back
and
he's
suspended
for
playing
for
a
year
because
Activision
Blizzard
is
afraid
of
the
Chinese
government
and
they
know
there's
a
lot
of
money
to
be
made
over
there
and
why
actually
be
ethical
when
there's
profit
to
be
made
the
poor
guy
did
nothing
wrong
and
he's
being
punished
for
it
it's
absolutely
unbelievable
and
again
the
casters
actually
wanted
blitz
Chun
to
say
this
that's
why
they
got
fired
so
that
there
was
some
mix-up
on
that
where
they
had
no
idea
it
was
going
on
and
that
made
Blizzard
seem
even
worse
because
it's
like
these
guys
had
no
idea
what
was
going
on
but
they
did
know
do
I
think
they
should
have
been
fired
either
no
I
don't
but
I'm
just
I
want
the
whole
story
out
there
and
also
daryl
morey
who
is
the
general
manager
of
the
Houston
Rockets
he
actually
showed
his
support
for
Hong
Kong
as
well
and
man
oh
man
were
his
Chinese
overlords
not
happy
the
NBA
makes
tons
of
money
from
China
and
when
Darryl
actually
posted
his
support
for
Hong
Kong
the
NBA
was
not
happy
with
him
and
he
cowardly
had
to
rescind
what
he
said
and
this
is
what
he
said
on
Twitter
I
did
not
intend
my
tweet
to
cause
any
offense
to
rockets
fans
and
friends
of
mine
in
China
I
was
merely
voicing
one
thought
based
on
one
interpretation
so
he's
even
like
taking
I
agree
with
the
Hong
Kong
protests
oh
well
like
he's
even
like
pretending
like
he's
I
was
wrong
I
didn't
understand
them
oh
my
god
it's
so
sad
of
one
complicated
event
I
have
had
a
lot
of
opportunities
since
that
tweet
to
hear
and
consider
other
perspectives
basically
saying
I'm
changing
my
opinion
because
we
make
way
too
much
money
over
there
I
have
always
appreciated
the
significant
support
of
our
Chinese
fans
and
sponsors
have
provided
and
I
would
hope
that
those
who
are
upset
will
know
that
offending
or
misunderstanding
them
was
not
my
intention
my
tweets
are
my
own
and
in
no
way
represent
the
Rockets
or
the
NBA
that's
so
that's
so
scary
that
someone
in
the
United
States
had
to
basically
bow
down
to
China
do
you
see
how
if
that
doesn't
freak
you
out
I
don't
know
money
is
too
powerful
man
money
is
way
too
powerful
but
anyway
let's
read
blizzards
Hearst
owned
grand
masters
asia-pacific
ruling
this
is
about
blitz
Cheung
and
this
is
why
they
chose
to
suspend
him
for
a
year
and
take
back
his
money
his
prized
earnings
you
son
of
a
[ __ ]
anyway
during
the
Asia
Pacific
grandmasters
broadcast
over
the
weekend
there
was
a
competition
rule
violation
during
the
post
match
interview
aka
we
make
too
much
money
in
China
and
we
don't
want
to
lose
that
money
so
we're
gonna
bow
down
to
them
involving
blitz
Cheung
and
two
casters
which
resulted
in
the
removal
of
the
match
video
on-demand
replay
upon
further
review
we
have
found
the
action
is
violated
the
2019
her
stone
grandmasters
official
competition
rules
section
6.1
and
is
individual
behavior
which
does
not
represent
Blizzard
or
hearthstone
eSports
is
found
below
doesn't
represent
you
people
wanting
people
to
have
freedom
why
do
people
not
be
able
to
be
extradited
to
mainland
China
so
they
they
don't
they're
not
ruled
by
their
iron
fist
Oh
anyway
this
is
the
rule
that
I
guess
blitz
Chung
violated
engaging
in
any
act
in
blizzards
sole
discretion
so
this
is
it's
a
blitz
a
bendable
pliable
rule
when
they
say
sole
discretion
so
they
didn't
have
to
do
this
okay
brings
you
into
public
disrepute
offends
a
portion
or
a
group
of
the
public
or
otherwise
damages
of
limit
Blizzard's
image
will
result
in
removal
from
grandmasters
and
reduction
of
the
players
prize
total
to
$0
in
addition
to
other
remedies
which
may
be
provided
from
under
the
handbook
and
blizzards
website
terms
I'm
reading
one
more
power
I'm
not
gonna
read
the
whole
thing
effective
immediately
blitz
Chung
is
removed
from
Grand
Master's
and
will
receive
no
prizing
for
Grandmaster
season
two
additionally
blitz
Chun
isn't
eligible
to
participate
in
hearthstone
eSports
for
twelve
months
beginning
from
October
5th
2019
and
extending
to
October
5th
2020
we
will
also
immediately
cease
working
with
both
casters
the
guy
did
nothing
wrong
he
just
wants
Hong
Kong
to
keep
their
rights
he
didn't
tell
people
to
go
into
the
streets
and
go
crazy
he
didn't
tell
anybody
to
do
anything
and
here
is
a
company
who's
who
they
they're
like
who
cares
about
morality
who
cares
about
the
rights
of
people
in
Hong
Kong
we
just
want
to
keep
China
because
it's
a
Billy
billions
upon
billions
of
dollars
are
over
there
screw
this
guy
he's
not
worth
enough
that's
what
they're
saying
and
this
is
what
bothers
me
about
corporations
is
if
there's
some
if
they
have
a
whether
it
be
a
small-time
youtuber
or
whatever
or
a
small-time
eSports
plan
on
saying
blitz
young
a
small-time
but
if
they
have
an
eSports
player
that
they're
just
not
worth
enough
they
will
dump
them
like
a
lot
of
[ __ ]
into
a
toilet
faster
than
it
like
this
but
it
if
someone
is
a
proven
horrible
person
which
I'm
just
about
to
prove
to
you
they
could
still
get
sponsors
so
the
moral
compass
is
it's
not
about
morality
it's
about
okay
they
sit
down
in
a
bore
meaning
they're
like
okay
XYZ
celebrity
eSports
player
blah-blah-blah-blah-blah
they
did
this
in
this
and
this
how
much
of
a
following
they
have
how
much
profit
can
we
make
from
him
should
we
drop
them
or
should
we
keep
them
that's
all
it
is
and
if
they
see
that
you're
still
profitable
you
could
be
a
terrible
person
terrible
person
with
you
could
be
a
convict
and
they'll
still
alright
throw
dollars
at
him
he'll
still
make
enough
money
who
cares
that
this
this
small
group
is
pissed
okay
let's
go
into
Floyd
Mayweather
Floyd
Mayweather
is
a
convicted
domestic
abuser
you
would
think
whoa
man
this
happened
in
2012
we
did
a
couple
months
in
jail
you
would
think
man
man
oh
man
this
guy
can't
get
any
sponsors
right
come
on
man
come
on
of
course
he
can
course
he
can
now
keep
in
mind
he
did
time
Mayweather
in
2012
domestic
abuse
especially
nowadays
man
oh
not
you
are
you
are
like
a
leper
but
Floyd
Mayweather
makes
two
every
fight
he
does
man
he
makes
too
much
money
Burger
King
in
2015
had
the
king
the
King
their
mascot
walk
out
with
Floyd
Mayweather
paid
a
million
dollars
to
have
the
King
walk
out
for
promotion
the
article
is
below
in
the
description
if
you
think
I'm
crazy
let's
keep
going
that's
one
that's
one
of
Mayweather
sponsors
the
next
one
is
Tecate
beer
in
2015
again
we
know
that
Mayweather
is
not
a
not
a
good
dude
Tecate
beer
paid
an
incredible
5.6
million
to
become
the
exclusive
beer
of
the
event
as
well
as
its
official
sponsor
if
you
remember
the
fight
Tecate
logo
was
plastered
in
almost
every
surface
possible
including
the
center
of
the
mat
and
the
ring
card
girls
but
you
see
though
how
the
moral
compass
just
goes
back
and
forth
Floyd
Mayweather
is
a
piece
of
crap
I
don't
think
I'm
not
saying
he's
a
bad
fighter
but
as
a
person
he's
terrible
but
there's
still
core
mutt
saying
yes
corporations
have
stopped
being
sponsors
of
his
so
on
and
so
forth
but
there's
still
big
ones
out
there
willing
to
work
with
them
they
don't
have
a
problem
who
cares
what
his
past
was
who
cares
a
crappy
of
a
dude
Mayweather
there's
money
to
be
made
we
don't
we
don't
have
them
our
morality
is
only
about
the
dollars
we
pretend
we're
a
corporation
we
pretend
to
be
moral
if
it'll
fit
will
appease
the
general
public
to
make
sure
we
keep
making
money
that's
all
they
care
about
now
obviously
there's
extreme
exceptions
to
this
rule
like
Jared
Followill
for
Subway
yeah
do
I
think
that
subway
should
take
it
back
what
he
gets
out
no
I
think
as
a
matter
of
fact
that
piece
of
garbage
should
have
had
a
life
sentence
after
what
he
did
like
obviously
there's
exceptions
and
I'm
not
saying
that
no
matter
what
someone
does
they
should
always
be
supported
he's
a
horrible
horrible
person
and
Jared
Fogle
should
the
key
should
be
thrown
away
and
he
should
be
locked
up
for
the
rest
of
his
life
and
just
up
through
food
throwing
through
the
bars
but
what
did
this
guy
Blitz
young
really
do
blizzard
what
did
he
do
he
wants
to
see
Hong
Kong
maintain
their
freedom
from
China
so
they
don't
go
under
complete
communist
rule
he
said
nothing
terrible
he
said
nothing
bad
and
you're
cowering
because
you
don't
want
the
Chinese
government
kicking
you
out
because
you
see
dollar
signs
there
and
it's
absolutely
disgusting
and
what
scares
me
is
how
much
power
a
government
can
have
and
how
much
influence
money
has
I've
known
this
before
I'm
not
naive
but
we
can't
just
let
things
like
this
slide
I
know
I'm
not
the
first
to
the
party
on
this
story
but
it
scares
the
hell
out
of
me
it
absolutely
does
and
blizzard
and
Activision
should
be
ashamed
of
themselves
and
I'm
glad
they're
seeing
the
backlash
because
of
this
because
bowing
down
to
totalitarian
governments
like
China
simply
because
you
want
to
make
a
buck
makes
you
look
like
spineless
greedy
cowards
and
I'm
so
happy
people
are
paying
attention
to
this
you
should
be
ashamed
of
yourselves
blizzard
this
is
rich
a
review
Tech
USA
signing
out
have
a
good
one

what's going on everybody today we're rattling off 37 tips or pieces of advice for junior software engineers and whenever you put together a list like this of course there's gonna be some exception so if you have some thoughts about my tips leave a comment let's have a discussion but before we throw 10 minutes on the clock and start going through this rapid-fire I got to think Squarespace for sponsoring today's video Squarespace is the all-in-one platform to create your website this can be your developer blog your developer portfolio maybe your advertising your contracting services Squarespace can take care of that for you and I get it we're developers right we want to build it ourselves what I found in my career is that I would rather spend my time building my own products my own projects then my personal website and Squarespace can take that all off your plate so if you don't already have a developer website go check out Squarespace comm / Shaun Allen for 10% off and thank you again Squarespace for sponsoring today's video all right let's throw 10 minutes on the clock and get right into this I got a list right in front of me and these are really in no particular order but number one don't worry about memorizing things right I think a lot of people think that they have to know how to build everything off the top of their head they just go there and type type type no even the most senior developers Google the most basic stuff all the time the key here you got to know where to find it whether that's previous projects or you know where to go in the documentation that's the name of the game know where to find it don't worry about memorizing number two you got to learn how to learn right this industry is constantly evolving technology is constantly changing the one thing that will be constant is that you're gonna have to learn new stuff all the time in this career so learn how you learn whether you're an audio learner you like to read books you like to watch videos figure out the best way you learn things and get really good at that because you're never gonna stop learning in his career in number 3 sticking with the learning topic repetition is key right you don't just learn one thing in programming and then you know it right you know it by doing it over and over and over and over again repetition is the key number four don't fall into the tutorial trap I think a lot of people when they're just learning do this tutorial do that tutorial they just do endless tutorials your learning will really take a leap when you start building your own projects when there's no cookie cutter recipe for you to follow you got to figure it out on your own that's when you're going to take the leap as a developer number five and this will help you get out of that tutorial trap is learn how to read the documentation for your language I understand not every languages documentation is created equal some are great some are not so great but that's what you got to work with and knowing how to read the documentation how to use the documentation as a resource again that gets you out of this tutorial trap you're not relying on other people's tutorials you can dive into the documentation and figure it out for yourself that is a vital skill number six this goes along the lines of once you're actually working on a project is learn to understand the cost-benefit analysis of your work a good way to think about that as each feature has like a spectrum of complexity right you may have an idea for a feature there may be a super simple easy to implement version of that it may not be as robust as you want it but again you got to manage how much time it's going to take you to build it versus the benefits you're going to get so along that spectrum of super simple basic version 2 really complex robust version there's a whole spectrum of versions in the middle so learning to balance that cost-benefit analysis of the time you're putting into it is key when you're building products number seven let's talk about the mio junior developer mid-level developer senior developer when can I call myself what I think that's an irrelevant question don't even worry about that you could ask ten different developers you're probably gonna get ten different answers it's very abstract very vague stop wasting your time thinking about that number eight find a mentor if you can whether you have somebody in person that you met at a meet-up or you know maybe build a relationship with somebody on Twitter finding a mental early on can make or break your career and along those lines number nine join Twitter developers hangout on Twitter it's where they talk and communicate it's an amazing place to network especially if you don't live in a development hub but use this as to build relationships over time like I consider Twitter probably the most powerful tool in my developer career just the people I've met the networking I've done I've gotten job interviews for DMing people I know on Twitter it's just it's amazing build your Twitter join the community be active be known it's one of the most important things in my opinion moving on to number 10 go to meetups if you can I understand you have to be in a bigger city to probably do this and Twitter is a good backup if you're not but if you can't go to in-person meetups so valuable your network is your net worth I mean so many career opportunities happen based on oh I met so-and-so how to Meetup and then I got a job like it's just it's real it happens go to meetups if you can number twelve might be the most important on this list and I genuinely believe in this but if you're a junior developer you have to create a very visual portfolio website you got to showcase your work which brings us back to today's sponsor Squarespace like I said in the beginning you may have the desire to build your own I'm of the opinion like let a site like Squarespace handle that it's super quick and easy to get something up the site's look beautiful it looks very professional you can host your blog on there which you should be creating content that's a little sneak peek at a future tip your portfolio which is huge again like pointing people to and get help with no pictures and people have to download and run your code like you need to give them pretty pictures to look at I know that sounds superficial but you got to pass that superficial eye test in order for people to take a deeper look at you and again building your site on Squarespace is an easy way to handle that your blog your portfolio again advertising your contracting services if you're looking for work it's got analytics built in and all the SEO built in as well you don't have to worry about that so if you're ready to get your developer website up and running head over to Squarespace com to start your free trial and then when you're ready to launch it go to Squarespace comm slash on Allen to get 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain and apparently I don't know how to account that was tip number 11 not number 12 off-by-one errors am i right anyway tip number 12 is to create smaller portfolio projects I believe you need to create a lot of smaller projects that can demonstrate a lot of different skills and showcase that on your portfolio don't get me wrong there's value in shipping a full product it's like actually completing it but at the same time if you do that you may only have one I think it's also good to show many different examples of what you can do moving on to tip number 13 now does your github repo Reedy's make them visual you know put in pictures of the website or app you're working on animated gifts are even better to show in action but it's pretty bad when you go to a github repo the readme is empty or if it's just a paragraph and then you got to dig in the code to figure out what it is having nice-looking pictures or animated gifs to see the project in action in the readme awesome do that and number 14 is along those lines and just in general but I think developers should have a basic level of design skills I'm not saying you need to be a professional designer but you should have some understanding of design in my opinion if you're making consumer products like apps or websites alright let's talk about some job stuff number 15 and this goes out to those that are trying to get that first developer job because is hard I get it but try to find the right fit not the first offer for your first job and I know like it's hard to get that first developer job so the first offer you get is amazing you're super pumped like hell yeah I'll take anything I'm gonna ask you to fight that a little bit because your very first job can either catapult you and launch you or hold you back because you learn bad habits and it's not a good experience it can really make a difference in the direction of your career number 16 is along those lines and it's maybe a controversial one I'm sure I'll get some pushback in the comments but take less money if you have to if it's the right fit just using some American maybe San Francisco numbers for junior developers say maybe a job is 75 thousand one offer but it's an amazing fit and another offers ninety thousand a year but it's kind of a crappy fit and it doesn't look great like yeah you know fifteen thousand dollars a year is a decent amount of money and difference but I'm telling you it will compound over time to take the less money for the much better team better product better fit that is going to outpace that extra fifteen grand by a mile in the long run all right number seventeen and I may get some pushback for this as well but I think you should spend an early chapter and again a chapter of your career in a major tech hub you know the San Francisco's Austin's London a big city with a lot of tech in it and you know of course there's pros and cons with that usually those are very expensive but the network you're gonna get living in a tech hub is amazing and again can compound over the whole course of your career so I understand people may not want to live in a large city like San Francisco because it's expensive but just do two three four years there and then move on and just like said the network you're gonna get and take with you for the rest of your career so worth it number 18 is a contracting freelancing kind of tip I would do a full time job first and start contracting and freelancing on the side as like a side hustle to kind of feel it out get used to it before jumping in full-time I think a lot of people want to start their careers as full-time remote contractors managing the project themselves that is the dream I understand why you'd want that again for the long-term health of your career I think it's very beneficial to start off at a company do the contracting as a side also for a little bit and then switch number 19 is just a general tip throughout your career and that is show initiative show that you care about the projects so if you're a junior developer on a project and you want to implement this one feature go to your senior developer and say hey you know I want to implement this feature I think it'd be really great I put a lot of thought into it I think we could do it this way this way this way what do you think even if they turn you down just showing the initiative is going to be valuable and just apply that to like all kinds of cases again throughout your whole career number twenty is another crazy important skill and just in life and that is learn to communicate better if you can as an engineer break down these complex engineering problems and explain that to either project managers or maybe the CEO if you're in a smaller start-up and making them understand like why this is taking so long or the trade-offs between solution a and solution B being able to explain that to engineers is one thing that's a you got to do that too but being able to break it down into you know layman's terms for non engineers and in helping them understand again that will make you so valuable to your company number 21 again when you're working on a team just show that you care and this kind of goes along with the showing the initiative but we all know that person you work with or have worked with in the past that you can tell they're here for the nine-to-five jobs they hate being here they're just here for the paycheck they don't care about what's going on like you've worked with that person hopefully you weren't that person but don't be that person because again your reputation will follow you through your whole career so if you are showing initiative you show that you're passionate about your work that's gonna go a long way for your career and along those lines number 22 impress everywhere you go like I just mentioned your reputation will follow you especially if you're in a tech hub like San Francisco or any other city it's a small community your reputation is a big deal so at every stop whether that's a contract or you know a company do your best to put your best foot forward and impress people number 23 is a common misconception you're not too old I started learning how to code at 32 years old I get questions from people all the time that are like 24 to think they're way too old and I had this misconception as well I thought you had to be a child math prodigy to be a computer programmer that is not the case and a lot of people were worried about like age discrimination in Silicon Valley I don't see that in fact a lot of the engineers I work with are late 20s early 30s 40s like it's it's I think it's stereotypical to think it's young people it's really not number 24 another beneficial thing you can do for your career if you can do it this one's not for everybody but that is to create content and build an online presence that can be many things that can be a blog that can be a podcast that can be YouTube videos you can just have a great Instagram profile having an online presence and kind of being known within your developer community whether that's Swift JavaScript whatever Android having that online presence and being known hopefully not in a good way again will benefit you it's another way to network you'll get a lot of opportunities if you become a known presence in your community number 25 if you're still learning or trying to get that first job be patient this is a long journey so many people ask how can I become a developer as fast as possible that's the wrong attitude to have this is a long journey but I promise you it's worth it at the end number26 let's talk about the 9090 rule some people call it the 80/20 rule this has been called many different things but the point remains the same when you're building software there's the first 90% and then there's the second 90% the first 90% is getting like most of the features done it feels like it's so close to being done the second 90% is all the air handling the polish you know adjusting for different screen sizes you think it's a lot of little nitpicky stuff but it really adds up into being like the second 90% of the project it's a lot and it really sneaks up on a lot of junior developers number 27 should you learn this language or that language it doesn't really matter to be honest with you if you do what you enjoy the most my example I enjoyed iOS development I like the iPhone so I wanted to build for that if you do what you enjoy you're gonna become good at it most likely if you ever have to switch languages learning that second language is infinitely easier than learning how to program for the first time so switching later on down the line could be relatively easy if you have to do that number 28 let's talk about getting job interviews don't go through the front door if you don't have to what is what is the front door that is going to Airbnb calm slash apply that's very hard to break through that way again back to networking on Twitter if you start to get to know engineers at these companies build a relationship with them DM them say hey can you refer me for a job most likely they'll say yes and that's pretty much a guaranteed interview and then it's up to you number 29 when you're learning I suggest completely immersing yourself watching YouTube videos subscribe newsletters subscribing to blogs just completely soak up everything you can and along with that number 30 let's talk about podcast podcasts are a great way to immerse yourself because you can multi-task with podcasts commuting to work throw on a developer podcast going out for a walk throw in a developer podcast so podcasts are a great way to immerse yourself number 31 when it comes to getting contracts when you're ready your more personal and professional network will be the best and by best I mean getting opportunities but also getting quality opportunities going on sites like up work you never know what you're gonna get you could get some really crappy projects but if you're recommended by a friend or a former coworker to another company those are gonna be quality contracts and that is how I've gotten all my contracts number 32 should you work at a small start-up or a big company as with any programming question it depends if you like to wear many hats you consider yourself a generalist you want to build the whole app or the whole website that's a small start-up if you want to work on a very large team on a large company and be very specialized that's a big company so your personal preference comes into play also obviously the larger company probably a larger paycheck but maybe more stressful smaller startup smaller paycheck could be less or more stressful it depends number 33 preparing for job interviews big tip it takes months to prepare for these data structures and algorithms questions practice practice practice practice what I've done in the past that is messed me up is two weeks before the interview I'm like okay I'll start studying that it's not enough time give yourself a couple months not a couple weeks number 34 remote work has its downsides right it's the dream to work wherever you want whenever you want remotely that sounds like the dream but and it is fun for like six months it's like the honeymoon period after doing it for a year or two it really starts to have its drawbacks to loneliness you're by yourself most of the time not working with people and again that may sound great but after a long time of that it starts to wear on you number 35 is a dev bootcamp worth it what I've found the knowledge you get no it's not worth that ten thousand dollars potentially however forcing you to do it every day for eight to 10 hours for X amount of weeks getting the experience of working with other people that is absolutely worth it so if you think you can be a good self-starter and learn on your own I think you should probably save the ten grand however if you like the extra push to force yourself to do it for eight to ten hours a day I think of bootcamp is worth it at number 36 after all these tips it gets easier like experience in this industry matters right this may have been an overwhelming video throwing a lot at you and I know you may be learning and it may feel overwhelming but before you know it you're gonna wake up and five years has gone by and you're like holy crap I know a lot of stuff now so it does get easier stick with it I promise and of course number 37 is to subscribe to this YouTube channel or any other developer YouTube channels again immerse yourself I put out iOS development content specifically but I do talk about general software engineering stuff a lot as well so those are my 37 quick tips I hope you got something out of this let me know in the comments if you disagreed with anything let's have a discussion we'll see you in the next


thank you to the great courses plus for sponsoring this video I'm mr. Beats and I have a big announcement to make I'm starting my own country I'm really excited about this you just need four things to start a country I'm sure you learned about this before population government sovereignty and territory population well that's easy my family and I will live in this new country governments and that one will also be easy because I'll be the government and I'm sure it will be easy to get other countries to recognize that and I even have a constitution already written up so it's great okay sovereignty sure of course I will have the authority to do this and I'm sure I can control my country as long as I find an area that is isolated enough speaking of which territory yes I do need a territory with defined boundaries hmm how about Antarctica [Music] wait a second can you actually create a country in Antarctica nope you can't the end now hold up it's not so simple maybe you can but before I explain how I wanted to let you know that this video is a collaboration with the alternate history hub that's right he just made a video about what would happen if a country decided to take over all of Antarctica make sure you watch his video after you're done watching this one so Antarctica yes that frozen continent at the bottom of the globe it's the highest driest coldest windiest and brightest of all the continents and it's probably bigger than most folks realize about the size of the United States and Mexico combined bigger than Europe and almost twice the size of Australia 90% of all ice on earth is in a giant ice sheet on Antarctica we're talking millions of years of snowfall piled up most which has never melted this ice is up to three miles I would raise sea levels worldwide by more than 200 feet if it ever melted so anyway why would I let alone anyone want a country in a frozen wasteland well for almost all of human history no one did the first documented discovery of the continent by humans was in 1820 when a Russian expedition spotted it the Russians were like heck with this place and for most of the rest of the century no one dared set foot there since it is such a hostile environment not only is it so cold there it is isolated surrounded by sea ice and those seas are also very rough finally on January 24th 1895 a team of Norwegians and one New Zealander were able to land on Antarctica several others would soon follow during what's known as the heroic age of Antarctic exploration of the late 1800s Early 1900s Belgium the United Kingdom Germany Sweden France Japan Norway Australia and New Zealand all led expeditions on the continent they were brutal 22 men died in total on these expeditions in 1911 Norway's Roald Amundsen and Britain's Robert Falcon Scott literally were in a race to be the first person to ever reach the South Pole Robinson got there first and tragically Scott ended up dying on his way back after getting there second in 1928 Hubert Wilkins and Ben Eielson made the first successful flight to Antarctica seven years later Lincoln Ellsworth and Herbert Pollock Kenyan made the first successful flight across the entire continent meanwhile by that time the United Kingdom France Norway and Germany had all claimed territory in Antarctica so you might be wondering when did people actually start living in Antarctica well there are no permanent residents there there are only temporary residents who have home countries elsewhere they only live there a few months or maybe a few years at a time actually Argentina was the first to send settlers to be there for longer periods way back in 1904 it set up a small base on one of the South Orkney Islands after purchasing a meteorological at servitor II even though the United Kingdom had claimed that area by the way that settlement is still there today Argentina and Chile were both worried about those aforementioned European countries and later Australia claiming territory in Antarctica and both set out to make as many claims and send as many people there as they could but then world war 2 happened and the whole imperialism dynamic quickly changed other countries started calling out these territorial claims by the UK Australia France Norway Argentina and Chile and tensions between those countries got a bit more tense in 1952 an Argentine team at Esperanza base fired machine guns over the heads of a British Antarctic Survey team unloading supplies from a ship the Argentine's later apologized saying there had been a misunderstanding but that's about as tense as it got and of course by this time the Americans were sending teams down there in the late 1950s a bunch of countries even some that normally hated each other started working together on the continent in the name of scientific progress tourists began arriving Americans built the amundsen-scott South Pole Station yep it really was built at the bottom of the globe and named after the aforementioned Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott who are the two who raced to be the first human to step foot on the South Pole and even though Americans built it later several countries used it it became a symbol for humanity uniting in the name of science what a wonderful thing except that amundsen-scott South Pole Station is the only place where humans have lived on land where there is essentially one really long day each year with six months of daylight followed by six months of night owing the temperature often gets below negative 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter that part doesn't seem too wonderful anyway all of this scientific cooperation ended up leading to the Antarctic Treaty which went into effect on June 23rd 1961 according to the treaty any land and ice shelves south of 60 degrees south latitude is a scientific preserve and cannot have any military activity it was the first arms control agreement of the Cold War and is often used as a great example of countries working together to prevent conflict before it develops 54 countries are now committed to the Antarctic Treaty in its related agreements which include things like no mining and no nuclear explosions there that Antarctic Treaty system said new territorial claims could not be made on the continent however it did not get rid of any previous territorial claims this made countries like the United States and Russia mad bro and they both say to this day they can make territorial claims in the future if they want to so the law is a bit shaky but overall those who signed the Antarctic Treaty and its related agreements are the ones who control it today most who live in Antarctica are either scientists or their support staff last year almost 52,000 tourists visited so say I am going to Antarctica first of all I should feel very lucky because according to my estimates less than half a million people have actually set foot on the continent if you wanted to go to Antarctica likely you would be going as a tourist if you are a citizen of one of the 54 in Arctic treaty countries you'll need permission from your government if you are not a citizen of one of the Antarctic Treaty countries you technically don't need a visa since no country owns Antarctica back to my original points say I do get to Antarctica and I want to start my own country could I well as long as I'm not around any people I could start my own country because technically no one owns Antarctica and at the same time everyone owns Antarctica sure there are territorial claims but according to this map I could carve a piece of unclaimed territory and claim it as mine in particular Marie Byrd land this six hundred and twenty thousand square mile portion that is so uninhabitable no country has been crazy enough to claim it and okay it might still be risky since I'd be breaking the Antarctic Treaty system but I doubt anyone would try to stop my crazy but from doing it ten countries break treaties all the time am i right hmm so I guess I can start my own country all I have to do is convince mrs. beach to move to Antarctica hey honey can we move to Antarctica one college-level learning without student loans curses to you student loans curses well how about the great courses plus a subscription on-demand video learning service with top-notch lectures and courses from Ivy League professors hey did you know there's a lecture about Antarctica why of

this video is brought to you by Warby Parker order 5 bears of glasses try them on for five days with no obligation to buy head to Warby Parker comm forward slash brain food to try your free home try on today more on them in a bit I Cola is a function of pigmentation both at the back of the iris iris pigment epithelium and in its stroma the Front's of the iris as well as the density of cells in the stroma in most cases these factors and hence eye color are determined by genetics with potentially as many as 15 different genes identifying to date seeming to affect the ultimate coloring in some way however contrary to what you might think blue and green pigments do not exist in the human ocular fluid or iris in fact only a couple of pigments are involved in eye color those are melanin brown and lip chrome that's yellow aside from potential extreme albinism cases all eyes have some amounts of melanin in the back of the iris although not all eyes have Lipa chrome for brown eyes there is a high concentration of melanin in the back of the iris as well as in the stroma the results is the melanin absorbing both short and long wavelengths of light from across the visible spectrum with the density of melanin in these two layers ultimately determining the shade of brown which in extreme cases can appear near black on top of the melanin amber eyes get their eye color from the added presence of liber chrome in the stroma as we said earlier blue and green pigments do not play a role in human eye color so how does anyone have blue or green eyes well the remaining human eye colors including blue and green are in part a trick of the light with blue eyes there is a fair amount of melanin in the back of the iris but relatively little melanin within the stroma making it translucent with light getting scattered around when it encounters this layer this scattering occurs more at the shorter wavelengths of light most relevant here being blue while longer wavelengths are typically passed through and ultimately absorbed by the melanin at the back of the iris the net result is the eye appearing blue even though if you were to dissect the iron question you'd see that the person physically had brown eyes this same type of thing is more or less what's happening in the sky when sunlight is scattered in the atmosphere making it appear blue even though if the light from the Sun was not being scattered or absorbed in the atmosphere the sky would look similar to the way it does at night in the daytime grey eyes work almost exactly like blue eyes with a good amount of melanin at the back of the iris absorbing the longer wavelengths but little within the stroma the reason these people's eyes don't appear blue is thought to be due to large deposits of collagen that cause a different kind of scattering that isn't as frequency dependence this type of scattering is basically what is happening when water droplets in clouds cause them to look some shade of gray as with blue and grey eyes there is little melanin in the stroma and so a bit of light scattering helps impart a blue hue the net result of all of this being the eye of hearing some shade of green haze eyes which can shift from brown to green have more melanin in the anterior front border layer of the eye and like green gray and blue eyes scatter certain wavelengths of light resulting in a somewhat shifting eye color on that note the fact that these latter hues the largely dependents on a trick of the eye rather than for instance blue pigmentation is why people with these eye colors sometimes appear to have a different eye color than they normally do nothing has actually changed physically in their eyes but changing the light manned up changing the wavelengths and concentration of light getting scattered and absorbed resulting in the appearance of for instance a normally slightly green eye looking slightly blue as to why some people have two eye colors multiple eye colors can be caused by a variety of things from genetics to various medical conditions such as Horner's syndrome and Waardenburg syndrome regardless of the underlying cause the individuals in question end up with non-uniform distribution of melanin in one or both eyes in some cases the individual might have two completely different colored eyes complete heterochromia perhaps the most common cause of this is genetic however other phenomenon can cause a single eye to completely change color such as inflammation like that suffered by actress mila kunis which changed the color of one of her eyes external causes include topical medications used to treat glaucoma potentially turning a blue eye to brown another variation of heterochromia occurs when at least one eye displays two different colors throughout sometimes with an inner ring differing from the outer coloration central heterochromia and other type occurs when only a portion of one eye has a different color as with more uniform eye coloring in all cases the resulting eye color is largely a function of brown and yellow pigmentation and its distribution and density in the back of the iris and in its stroma while this video is all about eyes and rather appropriately it's sponsored by Warby Parker who I want to tell you a bit about before we get into the bonus facts today I got my Tryon box from Warby Parker it contains five glasses that you can try on for five days obviously these are not yet - my prescription I'm going to rotate through these through the rest of this read and I love your feedback on ER which one you think is right pair one what you do is you go online and you take a quick quiz and get some recommendations to your face and style pair number two glasses started as 95 dollars including prescription lenses which is a super competitive price and you also get all of the good stuff like anti glare and anti scratch pair number three you can even try them on virtually before you get the box if you have an iPhone Tan so that's very cool pen number four all of these glasses look and feel really great to me but I'm not a style expert so let me know guys in the comments below what you think their number five but yes Warby Parker order five pairs of glasses and try them on for five days and there's no obligation to buy this box with all of the sample classes ships for free and there's a prepaid envelope in there that you can just post the boxes back in and to Warby Parker comm forward slash brain food to get your free home try on today and let's get into those bonus facts everyone's a while you see random flashes when you rub your eyes well wonder no more called phosphines these are characterized by perceiving some form of light when there is little or no light actually entering the eye making it an entropic phenomenon meaning the source of the phenomenon is within the eye itself phosphenes are most commonly introduced by simply closing your eyes and rubbing them or squeezing them shut tightly generally the harder you rub or squeeze the more phosphines you'll see the pressure stimulates the cells of the retina thus makes your brain thing that you are seeing light specifically grew sir at all demonstrated that pressure in the eye results in the activation of retinal ganglion cells in a very similar way to how they activate as a response to light there are also several other ways that phosphenes can be generated these include through electrical stimulation intense magnetic fields hallucinogenic drugs phosphenes are not to be confused with hallucinations which aren't generated in the brain not the eyes a blow to the head or a particularly severe sneeze where extra pressure is created in the eye on the rassa neurons possible stimulation of the visual cortex low blood pressure which can be experienced if you stand up really fast after you've been relaxing exposure to radiation meditation or extended visual sensory deprivation various side effects from medical drugs and certain diseases of the retina and nerves and if you're wondering the word phosphine was coined by surgeon JB h7e deriving from the Greek foss meaning light and fennan meaning to show moving on have you ever wondered what the stuff in your eyes commonly called sleep or eye Krusty's is when you wake up in the morning well ones are no more sleep is a type of room which is the name for discharge from your nose mouth or eyes during sleep more specifically eye room is known as gowns gound is made up of a mixture of dust blood cells skin cells etc mixed with mucus secreted by the conjunctiva as well as an oily substance from the meibomian glands the meibomian glands are a type of sebaceous glands that line the rim of the eyelids with about 50 on the top and 25 on the bottom of each eye they secrete an oily substance called myelin that performs a variety of functions including helping seal your eyes in an airtight fashion when they are closed preventing tears from spilling onto your cheeks and helping keep tears that coat your eyes from evaporating it's this oily substance that is one of the primary components in gowns mixed with mutant from the conjunctiva and various foreign particles in your eye normally when you are awake the gound is naturally washed away by our tears and the blinking motion however when you sleep you obviously don't blink so the my Behrman secretions and other components all the gowns tend to gather in the corners of your eyes as well as along your eye lines and then it dries out creating a hard yellowish eye booger so I really hope you found that video interesting if you did please do that like button below don't forget to check out Warby Parker there is a link to them below and as always thank you for
