If I had to re-do this video, I would spend more time on the thought process while cooking each iconic dish, instead of just explaining each level and justifying why it's in its place.
I had to pirate some $1,200 audio software to remove the rustling lavalier mic noise from the outdoor scenes. You can still hear it, but it used to be FAR FAR worse, and I was out of time!
The dead plants behind me are banana trees that I took from 2 inches to 3 feet this summer. Please tell me they'll come back after the winter ends :(
I was under a big time crunch to get this published, and on the day I was supposed to shoot, I had to do an emergency bathroom remodel. Thus, this video was shot around midnight, and then the outdoor scenes were shot the next day.
If after 50 takes I still pronounced Chuseok poorly, I'm gonna scream.
Comments are temporarily turned off for this video while I wait for skillshare to approve the ad and provide my fancy discount link.
Great video. Level 7 was truly a fantastic explanation and probably the level that people attempt to 'warp jump' to the most. In just the last few week, I've seen three different food YouTubers do videos about gyoza. Sometimes it seems that demystification and encouragement get combined in those types of videos.

This was really cool. I want to say I'm around 5, but maybe my friends are just being nice because I'm feeding them.

Level 4. I’m a Covid vaccine and a bit more practice away from being a true level 5, but cooking to a guest’s doneness preference on a grill is still a work in progress for me.

Those WIRED videos are so cool! I got high once and zoned out on the 11 levels of origami one and it was epic.

Probably a level 4 pre Shaq, now occasionally attempt (practice) level 7 dishes with a 1/3 success rate. Does that count?
