Watching William’s video about this gave me straight up anxiety seeing things go wrong left and right… and holy shit it was so much more stressful than he showed in the video

[@AidanS99]

William talking about his senior project and that stress of everything needing to work reminded me of my senior project where I basically developed a communication satellite from scratch. And trust me, as the ONLY mechanical engineering student on that team, there was a lot of stress behind my design, material, and component decisions. I remember one part where the electrical engineering students wanted to use Teflon for some connections and I had to explain that that would literally be ripped to shreds in space. Lol

type 3 fun: something you didn't enjoy in the moment, and makes you angry or annoyed when you have to think about how much you hated it; but at the same time, the vast majority of other people look at it and think "damn, that looks fucking awesome" or "I really want to do that". think like being an action movie hero and killing off the terrorists, saving the day; it would be fucking awful and traumatizing, but its still the dream of many people.

I think that the confusion with pricing is that the Mr. Beast video cost more than AN EPISODE of Squid Games. ($21m total /9 ep = $2.33m per episode)

[@MattFyrm]

Ok, but it's not like they completely started over with every episode, the mrbeast video had to do all the prep and also the specific things for one episode.

[@TheWhitePianoKeyProductions]

@@MattFyrm but the quality of camera material used by mr beast is 100x cheaper. Also mr beast is not paying the extras. Also so many extra costs for shooting something. The biggest difference is that squid game chooses what to show, while mister beast just creates everything, even though it may not even have been in view

Mr. Beast can be a great guy at times it seems but he should not have given William such a short time table on this project. It shows that he really is not the best at managing projects and that whenever there's a problem he feels like throwing money at it can solve it.

[@dneiliz5809]

The reason he gave him a short deadline is to get into the trend/hype as quickly as possible before the hype dies. The reason Mr Beast doesnt mind spending that much money is because he knew his project was somewhat unreasonable.

[@Dumbassfeature]

Its a bit complex- he did give william an offer and told him the deadlines in advance and william accepted

[@robertovillagran5364]

Mr. Beast is still really good at managing projects. It’s all a stressful process to have so much done so quickly, but he knows who to call on to get the best results. William was honest about possible results, Mr. Beast and William trusted each other with this project. Mr. Beast is a good leader, these type of projects haven’t been done before

[@ernestyunardi7454]

What do you mean? William said yes, he’s the expert, mrbeast is not, he doesn’t know whether 3 weeks is short or long. Since William said yes, therefore that time period is enough/possible to complete the project.

Comparing this “real” version of 500 wired untrained contestants to a preplanned orchestrated film shoot where each squib pop has direction is probably night and day

[@WisteriaBerlitz]

It'd probably cost a lot more, even without considering the time and money needed to transport from S. Korea

[@KhanhTheLearner]

I bet this is harder because MrBeast wanted to make an actual green light red light game. In the movie there was already a set script for who died and who survived, and there wasn't any need for complicated techs that could fail like motion detection or any worrying about phone battery or app. The Squid Game movie set simply recorded scene by scene where certain participants were shot.

No, in my country, there are rules and regulations for this shit. I was telling them that at least we have to talk to relevant authorities 2 weeks before minimum - we talked them only a week before our scheduled charity work. And you guys know how bureaucracy can be and I was there in like local council office, in junior highschool, trying to expedite our request to do this bullshit charity work that wasnt even properly planned and we had no budget. Luckily our schedule was just in the time where the government was also doing charity work so what happened is that we instead participated in that charity event instead but man - planning shit in advance when it involves the authorities; plan it ahead.
