Hello Uncle Foreigner: Recent Episodes
Hello Uncle Foreigner
We are Emily and Peter, and we make short films while living in China. On the Uncle Sez podcast, we talk about what that's like! If you're here for the music, check out our Western Toilet playlist: https://soundcloud.com/user-648725939/sets/western-toilet
A German wonders when Americans receive their paychecks. We wonder why capitalism is still a thing.
Forget making bread, this engineering student used his quarantine downtime to design and build a rocket. And we invented the cook-in-the-air soup missile!
We've all sat through that class where you give directions. But what if you just want to criticize someone's directions?
Most advice questions are just the asker looking for confirmation of what they already think, aren't they? Don't answer. I already know.
OoOoOo, you've got an Apple Watch, fancy pants. Why don't you just ask Siri to speak Chinese for you?
International cooperation is needed to get people to STOP FEEDING THOSE BOARS! They're spreading the Covids!
Hamsters, hampers, hampters, Hamptons ... we'll give you confidently inexpert advice on all of it!
We couldn't think of two people less qualified to answer the question: "How do you be a good Chinese daughter-in-law." Enjoy!
Because there are definitely stupid answers. We try to reckon with the very existence of ping pong in this one.
We have no crap advice from China to give about allergies. Only facetious commiseration.
If you're looking for cheap American food that costs the same as it did at home while you're in the middle of China, you're in the wrong country.
And remember, "The fairest price is the price you grow yourself."
How can you scoot around China? Try an intercity e-bike tour ... let us know how it turns out. It's crap advice from China!

Getting rid of an art collection in a hurry definitely doesn't sound suspicious. This and more on "The Crap Advice from China Show!"
You're lining up wrong -- for one thing, you forgot your sword. Also, hot weather hockey, and more!
Due to technical difficulties, this batch of episodes may never see the glorious light of YouTube, but they're too hilarious to languish on our hard drive. So instead, we'll let them languish on the iTunes store.

Our Chinese student from 8 years ago, Jessi, comes home from her first semester in America. We examine why we even make friends at all.

Video in discussion: Put down those binoculars, creepo, and put on your mind glasses: Emily, your English teacher, talks about her experience visiting Chinese house after Chinese house for parent-teacher conferences this week. It was like a master class in Chinese hospitality.
Also, when you're sick, visit a Chinese pharmacy. They'll do a good job getting you well, even if they're old.
And: Are my plants dying or what?!

😬 All the humans want to know, what is it like living in China? Listen to the answers of a normal, loving couple in China. Because we have all the discussions. Emily makes pesto, live on screen! (For real!) There's also news of being a teacher, National Day, the environment, other things. And it's all normal. And in China.
It's also a podcast.
Emily and Peter are ... not here.

😬 China! 8 Years later and it's easier now in China than it was ever was before. In China. We celebrate our anniversary with a podcast looking back. It's our Chinaversary! ahem. The laowai podcast with style, wit and talent. Sure. Other people have tried to make a professional China podcast. At best, you might have gleaned some fragments of propaganda wafting from sweaty, fear-soaked dens that bear more resemblance to hostage situations. Now, behold: Conversation with consideration! Chatter that matters. Communication with affinity. It would take two artists to pull it off, but you've waited long enough. "China Spoilers!" (TM) is finally here!

HelloForeigner #livinginChina #Chinapodcast
😬 This is the latest update with in depth coverage from our vantage point here in China. Taking the pulse from the China we see in our adopted hometown of Luzhou in Sichuan province. On the scene video from the streets and commentary from our studios. The lowdown and not the runaround. Eight years and counting for the real Hello Foreigner. This is what is really happening with these spoiled expats living in China.

😬 The weather has been pretty nice these days, so we've been filming some segments of our China vlog outside. (Check out those videos at www.youtube.com/c/helloforeigner.) We catch some interesting moments that way, but often, we're making a public spectacle of ourselves. It's cool, though, because as foreigners, we're often a spectacle just walking down the street.

😬 We at Uncle Foreigner have two goals that are sometimes conflicting: making art we love, and then selling the art to an indifferent public. This week, we talk about finding the balance between marketability and pure creativity ... and we share our titling woes.

😬 This week, in our discussion of how we make our China vlog, we get into the importance of pre-production. Planning is super important to our workflow ... but also our life-flow. And I love a good list.

Don't succumb to that pressure to produce all the time; take the time to rest and recharge your creative batteries! We talk about how the cycle of production and recharge works, and the difference between procrastination and constructive relaxation.
Uncle Sez what?: How's your uncle?: Labor Day holiday 1:03 • Conducting business: More than 200 views! 4:21 • Homeschool film school: Take a break 8:01 • Commentary: 5 videos * Watch it!: "Barry" 1:28:27

Correction: The piece of music we are discussing at 31:42 is not "Fanfare for the Common Man," but "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." Composed in 1896, our performance of it was, in fact, fair use.

As low- (no)budget filmmakers, we've got janky equipment, but that's part of what makes our janky style. This week's Uncle Sez is all about the MacGyver-ing we do to get the shots we want, using our cheap-o cameras, stands, lights and sound recorders.
Also part of our discussion of how we make our China vlog: are we in favor of copyright infringement protections? And, where did blue come from?
Excuse our technical problems, but the sound cut out a little more than halfway through. So this week: Another abrupt ending!

This week our discussion of how we make our China vlog centers on lighting. How can you tell if it's good or bad? Besides visibility, what style can lighting contribute to your video? And what difference do expensive lights make, anyway?

This week in our discussion of how we make our China vlog, we look at the structural differences between a television show and a successful YouTube video. As well, we talk about the different strategies we tried for pushing our boundaries in the different vlog stories that we posted in the past week over on Hello Foreigner.

One month after our China vlog migration began, we crunch the numbers on Hello Foreigner, and find that the rebranding has been a total success. Better thumbnails, better SEO, and better sharing links means people actually see our work this time around.

It's our weekly look at our lives as artists in China, where we will discuss our filmmaking process and more.
Out topics this week: Keywording, and vlogging as more than just a talking head.
The videos we re-posted last week on Hello Foreigner (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCftjeM16I5qqLnCc1iIH8Ag) show us branching out from the studio, and we explored a couple different techniques to make videos that were more than just my face talking at a camera. It makes the production process way harder, but we are generally much happier with the results.
This episode, we share the Hello Uncle Foreigner origin story and talk in depth about how we defined ourselves and created our different series.
Going from an idea that "Hey, we could do this vlogging thing just as well as anyone else. Better, even!" to a fully functional channel with several different shows ... this took some work. Here, we talk about that process, as well as why it was important to us to be able to create a framework for what we were doing overall, as well as a sort of "elevator pitch."
See where it all started at HelloUncleForeigner.com.
Of course, there's also some behind the scenes anecdotes from our latest video, "Mega-Shorts": https://youtu.be/KHTiX3yUNCI
And some recommendations: * GLOBIK Cool, fun China content: https://www.youtube.com/user/GLOBIKvi... * Bird and the Bee, or all of Inara George's music, but specifically her Hall and Oates cover album: https://youtu.be/KHTiX3yUNCI * Author Peter Hessler, writes incisive non-fiction about living abroad.
No Vomit Report this week. But we all feel good about that. And, In Chinese, the phrase I was struggling to find was 噼里啪啦 (pili pala) and it's the sound of fireworks. (Which, I guess this is my tacit recommendation for ChineseClass101.com -- They're the rare online Chinese learning outfit that has decent lessons and the intermediate level.)

We celebrate our YouTube subscribers on our first ever live chat. Also, let's talk about "Trading Spaces." That show was great, but why is it back? And would it work in China?
In this week's live hangout, we discuss some behind-the-scenes Uncle Foreigner production, celebrate some milestones, and reminisce about one Mr. David Matthews at UVa. Also discussed: kindergarten cafeteria food and that one kid who keeps throwing up in my class.
