This evening I attended with Misael Sanroque to the shooting of a couple of videos for 'Reacción Random', a YouTube channel directed by Endika Páez, in Trinitat Nova.
What's 'Reacción Random'?
Reacción Random (Random Reaction) is a YouTube channel created and directed by Endika Páez, it looks for people's reaction before videos of different themes. A spontaneous reaction of the participants is expected, the natural reaction of the person(people) watching the video itself is recorded, prevailing his/her/their comments and first impressions over what is watched in the video.
In general terms, on each episode of this channel several videos with a similar theme are chosen, those are watched by a series of randomly chosen spectators, same as the one who's consuming the video. Once watched, the channel's director (Endika Páez) ask the participants live to value the video or to give their opinion. Also, the external viewer complicity is requested, asking him or her to comment the final version of the video in order to open debate on both what people in the video and passive viewers had seen. So that's basically a random reaction is!
Still of 'Reacción Random' intro
This YouTube channel nowadays (end of October 2018) has around 1.046 followers, around 92.267 video views, and it's aired in Barcelona. You can access the YouTube channel by clicking here.
The shooting of the two episodes themselves took us around one hour in total. Endika and we already knew each other, same as Misael, so the work itself wasn't that complicated and the shooting demands weren't that much, basically to be natural and having fun, so everything was quite fluid and entertaining. We shot two episodes of different themes that now are being edited to be uploaded to the channel as soon as possible: the first episode consisted on watching some cringy videos and value them with different marks from 1 to 10; in the second episode we watched a series of videos consisting on freestyle rap battles, for a recurrent theme episode in 'Reacción Random' that has a great acceptance in the channel, after watching the battle we had to comment them and value which rapper had done it best. And all this took us just one hour on Tuesday evening!
Editing the episode
Special thanks to Endika Páez for counting on me in his channel, it's true that he had tried to contact me to participate during these last months because he thinks that my reaction is very spontaneous and natural, but all the problems to concrete dates and timetables were gone when I attended and enjoyed the shooting. I hope you count on me in more future episodes! I also want to thank Misael Sanroque for being there with me, on the doorstep, watching and commenting the videos in a relaxed and entertaining environment, it's such a pleasure to work with you on anything, colleague!
Now it's time to wait for the videos to be edited and uploaded on YouTube, so I can only promise you that I will publish them in this post when they are ready.
