In this informal behind‑the‑scenes exchange, two participants discuss the practical challenges of recording a video segment. Speaker A expresses surprise that editing responsibilities have shifted onto them, while Speaker B comments on the difficulty of maintaining proper eye contact on camera, describing the subject as a "leaky vessel" and noting the need to avoid looking down or away. They debate technical workarounds, including a yet‑unused setting that could make the eyes appear to look directly at the camera (jokingly referred to as "big googly eyes"). The dialogue mixes frustration, humor, and reassurance as they plan to clip and edit the footage to convey the intended message, highlighting both the technical and interpersonal aspects of the production process.

Got it. Got it.
This is gonna be the best time ever.
I thought y'all had a good editor that would take care of these things. I didn't know that it was all the responsibility was gonna fall on me.
It's all up to you. She's a leaky vessel, I hear. Evidently the Lord already knew that, like it was part of the deal. I don't know. I don't know. That editor girl. Anyway, so, so I'm sorry, I'll go back to telling y'all. Yeah, you're gonna. Yeah, because I can't do 70 shorts of you looking down and away from the camera.
Oh my goodness, it's so hard already and we're not even talking about anything.
Aren't you so glad you said yes?
Oh my goodness, I have a feeling this isn't happening to everyone.
Yeah, I don't know. Okay. I don't know, but, uh, I can I can figure this out. Well, most of the other people are looking at our face, like looking, it looks like they're looking at us.
Because my screen is like humongo. Okay, well, okay, I'm figuring it out.
You need to see yourself because how you see what's there, that's all I can do with, right? I can't make, I can't, it's so cute.
So disappointed in your abilities.
I know, I knew, I knew it, I knew it. Uh, that's so funny.
Oh no, oh no. Okay, that's not, that's not a good workaround. That's not gonna work. Okay, I'll just have to, I'll just have to avert my eyes.
Okay, practice that discipline.
I know it's gonna be so— it's gonna go so horribly wrong.
I'm gonna have to clip all of that so when people are watching they know what's really going on here. There's some like content behind the scenes. There is a setting I've seen and haven't used yet that makes your eyes look like you're looking at the thing. Maybe it's meant for people in this kind of situation. I was going to say like you, but I thought that might be a little harsh. A lot of people in this same situation. So we'll try that out. Maybe I'll get to use a new function.
