00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.780
I did a video a couple of days ago

2
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.040
about how to throw a bucket of water at someone.

3
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:05.680
I got a couple of complaints about that,

4
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:07.340
mainly about me falling in the pool at the end.

5
00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:09.780
A couple of people complained that my acting was terrible.

6
00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:10.640
It was.

7
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.420
A couple of people claimed that the push was obviously faked and scripted.

8
00:00:14.420 --> 00:00:19.460
It was, because anyone who would push someone into a pool without their permission is an absolute jerk,

9
00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:21.060
and I wouldn't want to hang around with them,

10
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:24.820
but no-one picked up on the real obvious clue it was fake.

11
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:29.520
Not even the underwater camera shot that didn't have a camera in the wider angle.

12
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.480
No, the reason is if you actually try and push someone into a pool it doesn't look like that.

13
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:36.280
You push someone into a pool

14
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.780
they're not going to want to go in:

15
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:40.180
priority one, don't go in the pool,

16
00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:42.280
priority two, keep your head above water.

17
00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:45.340
So, it tends to be sort of a half stagger and then a bounce,

18
00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:47.480
and then they come out dry from here upwards.

19
00:00:48.260 --> 00:00:51.200
You push someone into a pool in the movies or on TV though,

20
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.120
and it looks a little bit something like this.

21
00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:55.240
Go, Hadley!

22
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:03.020
The difference is--

23
00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:04.420
he says, retrieving the new camera--

24
00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:07.820
I went in back first,

25
00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:09.620
as low as I could go,

26
00:01:09.800 --> 00:01:12.720
as much 'umph' as I can manage going under water,

27
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.820
and then, you can see that I actually keep myself under water:

28
00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:18.620
my arms are pedalling the wrong way,

29
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:24.240
because it looks way more impressive if I'm under water for a couple more seconds than I actually would be.

30
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:24.740
Anyone sensible,

31
00:01:24.940 --> 00:01:28.260
anyone who's actually intending to get thrown into the water,

32
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.640
wouldn't stay under, they'd barely go under at all,

33
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.600
their hair might even be entirely dry.

34
00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:35.840
But you push someone into a pool in television:

35
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.780
you need to convince the audience that it's a big splash,

36
00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:43.280
that it's a big under water 'boomph' that sends them all the way down.

37
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:47.320
In reality, as ever, it's not nearly as impressive.

38
00:01:47.620 --> 00:01:49.940
And that is something you might not know.

39
00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:53.620
And now,  here are all the other takes of me getting pushed into the pool.

40
00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:14.720
If you're doing this, make sure there's enough distance

41
00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:17.120
between the person you're throwing in and the edge of the pool.

42
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:22.520
You want to wait for the go signal next time?

43
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:24.740
Sorry!

44
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:35.060

Towel?

46

Yes, please.
