"Something will go wrong, accept that." Wise words. You crushed it! Technical troubles happen all the time, and you kept your cool, and kept teaching. That's all that matters. Well done.

@thefutur 6 лет назад

thanks Nick!

Greyscalegorilla we love people because of their flaws not in spite of them. Keep up the great work. ✌🏻

@ThatCrookedMind 6 лет назад

Oh man I was feeling nervous for you just watching it You handled it like a pro thought ;) Also these type of videos are great!

@thefutur 6 лет назад

the power of a good storyteller and editing.

@5hree 6 лет назад

i almost never comment but i've learnt soo much from you matthew!! and the way you handled it was so smoooth! this is one of the many reasons why i look up to you! and yes! I would love to see these kind of videos! :) thank you for sharing it with us!

@josesojo9769 6 лет назад

Wow, this is the kind of things that make me feel less worried about myself, knowing that a 15 year creative professional can make mistakes like i do as a rookie, such a relief! PD: You handled it so great Matthew!

@lydiawere 5 лет назад

Oh man! Felt so bad for you just watching it but you did so so well to recover, you handled it excellently and everything went great despite that crash. Thanks for sharing.

@NukeWand 6 лет назад

If not for the text describing your feelings and the heartbeat i'd say it was fluid.

@Dextension_ 6 лет назад

I would collapse if this happened to me lol, You handled this pretty good tho

@Madosheet 6 лет назад

I love this style of video. The one you did with Ben before one of your pitches was great too. Really gives a good insight into how you approach things and also how you guys go about implementing the advice you give on the channel. Almost feels much more ‘real world’. Seeing things go wrong but the way you resolve it is a great learning experience for us all. Fantastic video, Matthew!

@introfy 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing the experience 🙂

@Whysosadams 6 лет назад

That wasn't a fail. You recovered. A fail would be if it ended.

@ThereWereHeroes 6 лет назад

I really really really like the vlog / day in the life style videos. Learning what the day to day looks like helps a lot both demystifying and de-romanticizing what it means to be an designer, so I can get a more realistic view of the path I'm growing into :)

@produccionabart7018 6 лет назад

brothers of the Futur with your knowledge i have grown up so much that i would love you meet you guy one time i have and agency call abartdiseño we are in Colombia and we love you work so much keep rocking it!

@alistairholmes3825 6 лет назад

My heart rate actually increased during that fail😬 well done Matt, you should totally make more vlogs of what you do please.

@MihaiDolganiuc 6 лет назад

Stuff like this happens all the time, pretty unpredictable. But I think what matters is how you handle it, and you did it right!

@HowardWimshurst 6 лет назад

Great video as always Mathew!

@narayantx 6 лет назад

I appreciate the insights these types of vlogs offer. Keep them coming.

@AhmedMosaad 6 лет назад

Whoaah! It felt like watching an intense movie scene! An amazing job you did communicating your feelings. Btw, it's wasn't your fault, not a user error. It's bad design :) Loved how you recovered from it quickly like nothing happened!

@ShaudaySmith 5 лет назад

Thanks for this video. I absolutely LOVE seeing people i admire go through the same struggles i have and seeing how they deal. Thanks for the insight into your worries and inner thoughts as the challenges popped up. Seriously, it humanizes my mentors and lets me know that i'm still on the right path even through the gaffs.

@mariedesignz1659 6 лет назад

🙈🙀😟 you kept your cool the entire time. I would have freaked out. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾 you past the test 💪🏾! Love this channel! So many great tips!!!! Yessssss Vlog.

@robertvidaure6746 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing Matthew! I have a huge amount of respect for you and your work. Keep it up.

@Ingyar 5 лет назад

Hi Matt. You did well. I was at the impression from the set-up of your story that the fail was out of your negligence somehow... However, from what i've seen (i might be wrong - i watched the video with a halfway pause) - the software crashed. So not your fault. :) Hey, if it's any comfort, Windows98 crashed to the infamous "blue screen of death" to Bill Gates at his live presentation! :) This made me thinking' what would i've done in such situation... I've probably would continue with the demo verbally and waving of hands: "So if we put the Sun over (point) THERE, activate the (point) SKYLIGHT around us, the realtime GI would render this scene progressively photo-realistic..." etc. :) ... I think screenshots from the demo beforehand would've come handy in situation like this. Best

@atilab99draws58 6 лет назад

maaaan, that was intense, can't imagine the stomach...

@loomish 6 лет назад

Why was my heart racing while watching this lmao ! The ability Matthew has to keep it going is insane. I would've collapsed right there. Good job

@SamiullahKhan 6 лет назад

First of all, I do like this kind of videos, Secondly you held the nerve, it's something that can be taught but experience. A fight-or-flight situation, a situation where you system crashed but you did not. You have prevailed and carried on. Something that I faced recently, although things didn't went well for me but I accepted it and felt really better and now working to improve it. Thanks for the video

@thechisensei 6 лет назад

one of my mentors before said, one of his best skills he's proud of that other creatives didn't consider it as a skill is 'troubleshooting'. and yes, I started to consciously learn that mostly in 3D and video editing software especially when my hardware/workstation dznt have enough processing power. one of our teachers in a 3D school encouraged us to always aim to provide the 'cheapest' solutions possible to create something, cz that's what makes you efficient. cheap means just enough polygons, smallest texture files size, scripting & tricks, fastest render settings possible, and all, but will provide the same high quality output expected but faster and cost effective delivery. that takes a lot of experiences to achieve that. I see that in you in this VLOG and you took care of that impressively smooth. that's why they call you a veteran :) but well, we are humans. that heart beat rate is REAL! but we know how to manage our selves not to panic and focus. luv the story, great video and sound editing. tnx for the share! :)

@priyankasalelkar3564 2 года назад

Love your vlogs and editing style, Matthew. Appreciate the hard work behind this vlog! I was so nervous just watching this, especially with the heartbeat sound effects in the background! But your jokes eased me and if it hadn't been for the subtitles, I'd have never known how nervous you were. I think the mood and attitude of the one who is giving the presentation reflects on the audience, so if you don't make it seem like a big thing, it doesn't even feel like that. Great job on the presentation :)

@RobertHranitzky 6 лет назад

Great job and frankly it wasn’t that bad. I think you handled it well and professionally - actually the subtitles/comments (in this video) made it feel worse than it probably really was or at least appeared live. I also like the way you describe your efforts around the demo. Well done and keep it up!

@theelliotchan 6 лет назад

Not a fail at all. Incredibly professional (and entertaining) recovery!

@karmalil4284 2 года назад

NO BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE LOST MY MIND. good on you for staying calm, very well done

@hansdailyfashion 5 лет назад

You did a great job on the presentation, Matthew! Loved the whole vlog too! Editing was top notch! 👌

@hansdailyfashion 5 лет назад

Oh, that's exciting! I will definitely subscribe!

@jedox01 4 года назад

I almost skipped the "Crashed Presentation part" because I know how it feels. It's very Awkward :)

@doodlingpotato5655 5 лет назад

what?? From a viewer's perspective, you were great! You didn't appear nervous at all but with the heartbeat sound effects and your commentary in captions I was getting nervous as well haha

@brianbongbk 2 года назад

Dude, I'm loving your ergonomic lifestyle man. Makes me wanna upgrade on my own lifestyle :D

@eliellgvs1 5 лет назад

You acted like a pro and very smoothly keeping your mind calm. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience.

@dancharlesc 6 лет назад

More vlogs! I think it can be an alternative way of learning from you guys. A more personal approach to learning. Thanks tito Matthew for sharing.

@RodrigoTasca 5 лет назад

@ilburw8223 3 года назад

What brand is your backpack, thank you

@bartmanstl 4 года назад

Great that you show your humanity in these videos. So often the viewer is watching a super cool master of the craft and it’s hard to identify with them. You are so talented and such a good speaker but you are very relatable. Thanks for sharing this with us..

@payals2659 6 лет назад

You handled it so well, if it were me, i would have just screwed myself even more. I am sure everyone in the room including your sponsors would understand that things like that happens sometimes.

@oppapaul5686 6 лет назад

Great work Matthew! Thanks for sharing. I'll keep this in mind when having presentations.

@riseagainstfanatic88 6 лет назад

Lovely how you handled this situation. Good example of how to deal with little issues. Thank you for this content mates!

@wrightmkwananzi3653 5 лет назад

dude, you bounced back like a guru ... haha don't feel bad I thought it would never come back online guess what I went pow when you got connected

@emaloc1 6 лет назад

Yeah! Definitely keep doing this videos guys, and biz of design/dob as well, I miss those!

@irenebirgita 6 лет назад

If i were him, i'd be like.. Errrrrr hold on guys.... And then silenced for 10 minutes 😂

@tuanominh4168 3 года назад

its not a fail.its a problem and u nail it. I think is opposite here íts might fail but u save it in a very professional way.welldone and keep teaching mah man

@garyspeed8961 6 лет назад

after 20 years of client / competition architectural presentations I feel for you... it never goes away... thank you for sharing the reality ... and as you say... the world doesn't end... and most people don't even notice the glitches...if the core of your presentation is meaningful

@marioronci5338 6 лет назад

thats really it, if you dont notify others that you messed up , you can just take some time some small pause to recollect your thoughts and push through , silence isnt the enemy

@Androken 6 лет назад

This style is nice and with a story to it, makes it even better. Experiences like these makes us grow.

@alwayjohnrallos7359 5 лет назад

You did quite well, it's not your fault tho, and we're just humans, people should understand that, still you are better

@mickey5073 5 лет назад

I felt the tension. But gladly you survived. I thought that file won't open anymore

@nelsonunuane5839 4 года назад

thank you Matt...for showing me how not to 'shaky' during presentations,

@fauxdauteur 3 года назад

What's funny is that there are more lessons to be learned from a "failed" presentation compared to a successful one.

@RoseGoldSound 6 лет назад

this was really refreshing ! Not glad you had to go through it because it obviously meant a lot for you but it's nice to see something other than pure success when it comes to work/business. Plus it worked out in the end so... Thanks a lot for sharing this little story

@LeChakaraka 6 лет назад

One of the most valuable vids I've seen on the channel. Thanks for vlogging through the pain!

@crewzta 6 лет назад

Awesome insight to a day in the life. PS your hair grows back fast.

@mononoke077 5 лет назад

"Something will go wrong, accept that." Thank you for having this topic, I always have this feel whenever something goes wrong in my presentations and stuff and now I am more motivated to do better the next time. //YAYS

@thehelencheng 6 лет назад

Awesome video. But what's the catchy background music at 8:08?

@quinn3249 6 лет назад

As a design student preparing to turn my first portfolio into employers for internships within the next week I am under a tremendous amount of stress. But, seeing Mathew dealing with a similar stress and seeing that he survived is making me feel more confident. Thank you for these videos they really help in so many different aspects of the design life.

@Kazyow 4 года назад

just the feels.. this is awesome. good job man! 👏🏼💪🏼

@EllaEldadi 6 лет назад

i've learned that being a pro isn't about when things go right, it's what tools u use and develop when things go wrong n how u deal w/ it. u guys seem almost perfect. most creative with lots of experience...the other side of which u deal with obstacles of design world are interesting and even more important to a beginner like me. thank you. can;'t wait for more videos like this one.

@AstenRegisTheFlipside 6 лет назад

Love the vlog, great showing the crash and your thoughts at the time in the text. It happens to all creatives so anyone who can't relate to this or who were expecting perfection has probably never worked in the creative industry or done a presentation for other people before! Great work.

@oliverdking 6 лет назад

The film was great and the talk too! How many people was it for?

@theodoregreen687 5 лет назад

thank you for taking us on this journey. Amazing integrity!

@arthur1022 6 лет назад

dude! you were smoooth in that little hiccup! I definitely picked up a few things from this video and will apply them during my next presentation! Also, Futur, I really like this VLOG videos for presentations and BTS for Business prep scenarios!

@thefutur 6 лет назад

Clear demonstration of how fear is exaggerated in our minds.

@thejohnsiow 6 лет назад

How you overcame this is nothing but inspiring.

@jachymmichal 6 лет назад

You are so smooth, man! Somehow the way you tackled it made you look even more professional. Like “Yeah, this guy gives talks all the time, so he’s used to files crashing”

@BramNausDrums 6 лет назад

Matthew still knows how to take something positive out of a thing that went wrong!

@leannabad3839 6 лет назад

Giving a presentation tomorrow night, it's only PPTX so hopefully nothing too bad goes wrong haha

@leannabad3839 6 лет назад

Matthew Encina It went well! I learned that next time I need to add more comedy and visually appealing slides, but overall nothing horrible happened!

@lukelarson897 6 лет назад

hey guys a little ux tip for your viewers, it would be really cool to have known this was a vlog style of video before having clicked on it, so whether its in the caption section that you differentiate the kind of video content certain videos are, or maybe you create an icon set for your thumbnails so that we know what type of video it is, that would be helpful!

@thefutur 6 лет назад

good suggestion

@dudumms 6 лет назад

I felt the nervousness just watching it man, I admit that I had to pause the video for a sec D: I was watching the real presentation on the link and it's really good, just one thing I noticed is that you were looking too many times to the screen and not to the audience. Maybe it make sense on the context, but for an overview look I had this sensation. Overall great video and good insights for presentations, keep doin'!

@LennyYT 6 лет назад

thanks for sharing the adventure raw .

@jakecarroll2439 6 лет назад

Mathew, this video has helped me so much. I have huge stresses in the creative world right now and this has really brought it down to reality. Life goes on and we are all human. Thanks again.

Sorry to hear

@dillp671 6 лет назад

I really like these type of videos.

@spahzz 6 лет назад

Thanks for the peek behind the curtain. I felt like you did exactly what was required during the tech fail, and that's keep the audience engaged. I took away a lesson of have a contingency in case my tech fails during a pitch/presentation. Way to keep your demeanor cool!

@ravihooda3323 6 лет назад

If you dislike this video. You are my mortal enemy

@JohnBeatty 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing, Matthew! :)

@thefutur 6 лет назад

thanks John.

@opster01 5 лет назад

Love the style of this vlog. Thanks for sharing your story. Very relatable. I felt my stomach drop during the technical issues part. I've had a similar experience and its never fun. Time truly feels like its stretching... Again thanks for posting, I enjoyed watching the video!

@mothboymusic 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing that experience with us Matthew. It's not everyday we get to hear the inner monologue of someone in a situation like this, and I think it's going to help some people who are very critical about their presentation skills. That said, I personally enjoy A-day-in-the-life-of videos since I think there aren't enough of them. I'd love to see more stuff come out from the rest of the Futur crew as well.

@Archived-Moments 6 лет назад

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!! Learnt so much over the past few years from just watching / listening to these guys. Real talk, thank you so much for sharing your experiences.

@ipelengpitsi2398 6 лет назад

Hi Matthew thanks for being so brave, ive failed clients i think that is the worst and really hard to overcome, because sometimes you disappoint people close to you, Ive acknowledged my weaknesses and im working on them after life is also about learning from these experience... I think it would be great to have a show about recovering from failure, especially after ruining your image, many designers are good designers but bad managers, we need to learn how to overcome our weaknesses as designers... I really appreciate your work and community and i hope to uplift and share with the rest of my community here in South Africa Thanks again Ipeleng from South Africa

@jo69123 6 лет назад

Matthew Encina sorry, but I am really curious about what hardware I should get to work as a designer. Could you recommend me parts for a high-end system? Or tell me wich specs suit your workflow better? Thanks a lot in advance!

@damilarearowojobe5436 4 года назад

Please, do more videos like this

@juangermano8179 6 лет назад

Same thing happened to me a few months ago. First time speaking at a conference in my life. I just wanted to show a f .mp4 video, and my Keynote wasn't playing it. The computer was very old, and I haven't anticipated to that (I already knew the computer would suck). Instead of finding my way through the issue, I acted like a dumb: just skipped the video part and went on with my presentation. Would have loved to watch this video before that conference. You acted very naturally Matt, and waited patiently for the problem to get solved. That's handling it like a pro.

@TheThirdIdentity 6 лет назад

Computers crash. Programs crash. Roll with the punches. I doubt anyone changed their opinion on the subject you talked about because of a little crash. You handled it like a boss and that’s what’s really important. Teaching the youth to be flexible and that sometimes when things get weird you have to use your personality to bail you out

@stevoyah 6 лет назад

you handled that situation so smoothly. I wouldve lost it. But this is great and very true, silly things with technology happen. It really sucks but you have to accept it and work through it.
