How I Almost Ruined MrBeast Squid Game

I'm not really interested in Mr. Beast's content but there is a video from one of the engineers involved in his Squid Game recreation that I thought was pretty interesting. Seems like this guy went for three whole weeks without sleeping, just piling on hack after hack to make the event come together. [VIDEO]

IMO a lot more interesting story around mr beast: If you have a bit of patience, while very much annoying, the making off video of his squid game blood packs is really interesting from a maker perspective. > How I Almost Ruined MrBeast Squid Game [VIDEO] or 7:30 if you know what a squib is They had 3 weeks (yes) to get 500 wifi controlled bloodpacks. And went through all stages of development hell. After technical problems, regulatory problems, supply chain problems, manufacturing problems and last but not least the obvious integration problems it started a day late (+500k$ for MrBeast) because the team with the targeting software had shit latency and drained their batteries prematurely. In the end they still added cgi for a better videoflow and used thin yellow paint to not get demonetized. Again, worth the pain of watching it. Turn down the sound a bit and stay strong. Skip forward if need be He also had an interview later once you are through with the video. > The TRUTH Behind Mr Beast's Squid Game Video [LINK]

It's pretty amusing how a bunch of teams are posting videos on how they built a specific, bespoke hardware/software component or two of MrBeast videos. This one was about the ~100 hardware button sets and LED strips required for the video. And here is another one [1] that is on how another team build 456 "detonator units" for the Squid Game video: also finished in the nick of time. It seems clever for MrBeast to hire DIY YouTubers to do these bespoke jobs: it's a win-win even after the video, as they teams create their own "how we built this" video. [1] [VIDEO]
