Filming was hectic. Period.

So on Friday we met up at PHSC Library and we were only supposed to film for a maximum of 20 minutes and that turned into an hour and a half. The sweetest librarian had no problem with this change but it made us stressful on us. I arrived about 15 minutes early to help set up our location, Kevin and Nick arrived early as well. I expcted everyone to come in knowing their lines and we vould get in and get out.

Yeahhhhhh no.

So Fares arrived late, however, we are understanding because he lives far away and has to take his sister home from school. After he arrived, about 30 minutes into shooting we realized he had a hat on still from school and we had to re-shoot a couple things of footage. No offense to Fares, he did not know his lines very well and we had to cut and re-shoot multiple times. We were very worried about continuity the whole time, Kevin had decided to prop his legs on the table in some shots, so we had to make sure he kept doing that. Since it was confined to one room, we had to shoot from different angles to have some extra footage so that way we were not shooting in a static frame. The microphone was a hassle and we had to use voice recording on Kevin’s computer and use Fares iPad. Our props were limited and were not thought out at all. Here are some question to help understand our situation:

What kind of technology did you use during the process?

So the technology that we used during the production process had changed. We still used my phone to film, we had the same stabilizer, and the same microphone. In addition, we used Nick’s Galaxy S10+ to connect the microphones to record the audio and Kevin’s computer was used.

What did you learn about using production technologies (cameras, lights, etc.)?

We filmed in a very well-lit room, so additional lighting was not needed. We learned that using different lens on my camera were essential and in a small room, it;s hard to use a wide lens to have a good establishing shot. The good ole stabilizer, it really did help a lot and was very useful when filming. It made the grip very strong and it wasn’t slippery if I just held the phone in my hands. Although, it didn’t make the shots straight and was not perfectly stable with higher quality equipment such as a gimbal or tripod. So they will have to be editing in the post production process.

Did you consult any sources to learn how to use your equipment (YouTube tutorials, etc.)?

Personally, I did not refer to any sources on how to use my camera on my phone for videos or short films. I did use a book that Nick let me borrow for some film tips, I glanced over a few things and thought I was good. Overall looking back, I probably should have and if we have to shoot again, I will most likely reach out to more so to these sources for some guidance, and really take a look at them again.

Did you work from any influences when recording certain shots? Provide examples such as a side-by-side comparison.

Honestly from other noir movies that I have watched, I wanted some close ups of the main characters and long shots, from some of the opening scenes I have watched such as in Nightcrawler and Drive, where the main characters are seen in their incognito clothing, their attitudes are shown, etc. I really tried to mimic this in our film.

“Diary” entries detailing the production process, including photos and videos

As you can see we are are smiling because we are glad it’s over but in reality I was really exhausted and hot since there was not a lot of ventilation in the small room.

Difficulties encountered along the way

Some difficulties that we encountered were of course looking for a location, the script changing multiple times due to location changes, and then just when it came to filming trying to maintain continuity which was not achieved.

“A-ha” moments or learning experiences

The only learning experience we learned, is that filming is hard and it takes time and cooperation. Being the cinematographer, I really learned that precision is key and that when you film preparation is key. Again, it was my first time I have ever done a project like this and I did not think it was going to be hard, however I was wrong, and going forward I have to be more on an A-game.

Changes and revisions made to the project during production

There is alot so here we go:

1. We stayed in the study room
2. We used books as props and a whiteboard in the room.
3. We had the detective read one of the books on hacking
4. The script changed once again.
5. Kevin is actively hacking in the film and is very very sarcastic.
6. Again, changes to “hacker” and detective characteristics.
7. Lastly, the ending was changed from leaving in a car to leaving the study room.

Outtakes or “bloopers”

This was is was one of the bloopers, it was kind of sweet the librarian wanted to check up on us. Even though we didn’t know she popped in the shot until we cut it off. We just had some boring bloopers of Fares and Kevin speaking and stuttering on their lines but that’s about it.

Today we gathered at 3 pm at Pasco Hernando State College – East Campus. We first looked at the Student Center, which is a common area for students on campus. It contains computers, pool tables, ping pong, and foosball tables as well. This is an option to film, if we couldn’t find anywhere else to film on campus and we wouldn’t need permission to film here.

As you can see, the dudes were chilling, while I was thinking of ideas to do in this location on campus. Kevin and I did spot a computer area that Fares (detective) could be in when we film officially on Friday.

• 

• 

However, we walked around campus and thought we could go into the library. Some good news is about to be dropped. Of course, my group volunteered me to speak to the head librarian at the college due to my extroverted personality. So I spoke to the librarian, asking permission to film in the library at PHSC, she took my name down and had to speak with a higher up. In the end we are able to film on Friday at 3pm on the dot. Even though, we can’t have anything with the PHSC logo or name in the film, we can still shoot the opening. This is honestly great because the location is convenient and where we would be filming, a group study room, it’s confined and wouldn’t include any individuals that would require us to have permission to have in our film.

Also, we considered other parts of the campus, such as outside the library in this pavilion. This location could be the scene where the detective and the hacker have glitched to, relocated to due the ultimate criminal hacking simulation: renegade.

So Nick ordered a stabilizer for our phones, when we got to test it, our footage doesn’t have a shakiness to it. On Friday, we revised it and for a cost effective stabilizer it worked very well and it’s very easy to hold, especially since I have small hands.

Excuse my look in the beginning, I did not know what Nick was doing at first then I was like ohhhh gotcha. But as you can see, this was a quality content and it WAS NOT SHAKY! It was very crisp and it put my camera to work for a bit, when Nick zoomed it didn’t get very pixely and distorted. Also, can we just mention the detail. You can see every detail, when he did a dolly in on my face, you could see my every hair and even the ones sticking out. Again, showing how much detail the camera shows. When Nick has the camera look at the camera, you can see the panels are not just white but have grey specks on them, weighing out having to zoom. So the regular camera, not the Ultra Wide or Wide, is just as detailed and great. The stabilizer as you can see was very compatible and we had no problems. So these two are going to be a great for our film.

I used the slow-motion video aspect on my iPhone for the first time, and it was actually very awesome. I did use it with stabilizer, and I was taught to hold the phone and stabilizer down to get an more still and stable shot. This as you can see worked very very well, even though there was a little fuzziness at the top of my lens, that was most likely the lighting and just the room we were in itself.

Overall..

It is an an amazing product, definitely for a cost effective and cheaper alternative, since gimbles themselves were over $100. It help to produce a quality and crisp output and did not interfere with the camera at all. We can also attach our microphones to our headphone jack and to the stabilizer and it doesn’t interfere with footage. I can’t wait to use this for when we film this coming week.

Link: Stabilizer

I was practicing this weekend how I would use my phone camera and the quality it would produce. Yes, I used my parents but they are easy going and allowed me to take some shots. This over-the-shoulder one was when they were engaging in conversation. In our film we are going to be filming dialogue between two characters. We are going to be doing a shot reverse shot when we one character is talking to the another and reverse. So this kind gave me a glimpse of how I would shoot some one the scenes. Also, a over the shoulder shows the perspective of another character and usually has the person making the conversation or looking at the other blurred. This would be fixed in editing software but still we can the other character, my dad. We see that he is in his environment and comfortable compared to my mom whose up and on the go.

This is a high angle shot of my mom and dad, it’s kind of used out of context because a high angle shot is supposed to show superiority over the subjects. Like I said it was just a test, in order to do this shot I needed a stool because I am short. I’m not sure if we would use this shot in our film but it’s an idea to play around with.

Later in the Day…

• 

• 

Here I was experimenting with close up, how close I would have to be to the person in order to get that above the head shot. As you can see my parents had very bland expressions and they were focused on theirs phones. However for a close up in our film, I would film the detective in his area to see him up close and his emotions, seriousness, that we will get when we hear him talking to himself in the library. I did not use any filter in these photos, the clarity was phenomenal. With my dads extreme close up, we can see the details of his outlined bread and his wrinkles (showing his age)… sorry Dad, not to mention his bifocals on his glasses. My moms photo, can be a close up because it’s from the shoulder up, here we see that she’s kind of smirking implying she’s looking at something entertaining. We see her physical appearance as well So, these close ups can show the physical characteristics of the characters in the film and show their expressions.

Exclusive Content – My Doggo

Here’s a great phot of my dog. I was trying to get a shot of his nose and just his eyes and ears. I had to hold a treat in order for him to stay in one spot and I managed to get this… he heard another wrapper because he is an actual foodie. So close up not only can work on humans but the four-legged as well.

Due to our switch of location, Kevin had to update the script for us to go by. I did have the shots that we were going to use in the film opening, in the script, however we removed since we switched locations and we may use different cinematographic elements. Here is the script:

Summary: A hacker and a detective are sent into a simulation because it has been hacked by an outside party and the people who own it are not happy about it. 

Cut to a man (Detective played by Fares) sitting at a computer, he appears busy. (Chiaroscuro is used)

Inner Monologue from Detective: “Precision simulation hired me to investigate who hacked into their simulation and bring them to justice. Ever since the first attack, it has been glitching – time will move erratically, you will be in a place you don’t remember going to. On the bright side, after this job, I’ll quit: I may be young but I’ve put in too many hours to keep working this dead-end job. My partner for this job is a felon and a hacker and once we’re done with this job, Precision promised to wipe his slate clean. He seems like the kind of guy that is too ‘goody two shoes’ to even commit tax fraud, but I was shocked when I heard that he …” (Cut off by Hacker speaking)

Sound of billards being hit by cue ball

Frame pans to show Hacker (played by Kevin) at pool table

D: “Could you keep it down, I’m trying to concentrate.

H: “My bad man. Hey, can I put some color back in this world; all this black and white is making me depressed?”

D: “Sure, whatever.”

H: “And then I said, let there be color!”

Chiaroscuro gone in next cut; color present

H: “There, much better. Now, did you find any information on our culprit?”

D: “Well, we know that they’re good at altering this simulation, so they must be good with computers.”

H: “Way to go, Sherlock, I mean do we have a witness or, better yet, a name?”

D: “We do have a name: Bostrom. That’s all we have though: no face, no age, and no location.”

Cut to another establishing shot; D and H are in the same position, but at place

D (as he is getting in the car): “They may be on to us, let’s get out of here.”

Title card appears with sound of the door shutting.

So as you can see, the setting of the script changed and the detectives actions before the hacker comes into the frame. So some minor and major adjustments had to be made due to relocating.

The Jiffy Was A No-Go.

• 

• 

So as you can see, on my face especially, we were not able to film in a Jiff. When we arrived, I was volunteered to go speak with the employee, which was actually nice because we all knew the kid working, he was able to text his boss. I explained to him that we were in a film studies class and need to shoot a film opening. He explains to his boss and his boss asked how long, I said about 30 minutes, we got the thumbs up. However, we were not able to film until 8:05 pm, at night, after they closed and clean the place. We would have liked to accepted the opportunity, but Kevin, Fares, and myself live 45 minutes away from the convience store. This puts us at a disadvantage because we all live far and have curfews when to be home, so this would not work. So we had to decline the offer, unfortunately. There was some positives of using this source, the boss was willing, we could probably still film even if there is people around, it would make the film more realistic. It’s still an alternative.

We have an idea…

We all attend Pasco-Hernando State College as dual enrollment students, high school kids who take college courses. This we be a location good enough for our times because we are always at the college and if need be they are open on Friday’s, when we are all free, and the campus is not as hustle bustle. We would be able to shoot at this location without permission from the school since it is a public institution and we are students. This seems like our best option, yes we will have to create another schedule and adjust the script, however it’s really convent for all of us. We could have the detective lost in thought in the library and this hacker walks up spooking him. This is a place that could show more of character development, you have the detective in an area where you would find him studying, lost in thought, and interrupted by the hacker shouting down the hall way. So definitely a place for setting, lighting, and character development. Personally, I know many of the staff and professors so I think this will be an easy option, and a non-problematic place to film.

This is our first storyboard. It still needs more development but its a animated storyboard that gives some information on how we will film our opening. The coloration of this storyboard adds to how we want the scientific element to be introduced, the setting going from black and white to colorful due to the hacker and his technology knowledge. Nick modeled this after our script, that Kevin had made. Kevin used a website called StudioBinder that helped form the script and helped him be able to add shots, locations, easier then trying to form a script by oneself. Nick also used StudioBinder to make the storyboard. Continuity is kind of our thing.

The Script

Summary: A hacker and a detective are sent into a simulation because it has been hacked by an outside party and the people who own it are not happy about it. 

Cut to a man (Detective played by Fares) filling a car with gas at a gas station. Chiaroscuro is used)

Inner Monologue from Detective: “Precision simulation hired me to investigate who hacked into their simulation and bring them to justice. Ever since the first attack, it has been glitching – time will move erratically, you will be in a place you don’t remember going to. On the bright side, after this job, I’ll quit: I may be young but I’ve put in too many hours to keep working this dead-end job. My partner for this job is a felon and a hacker and once we’re done with this job, Precision promised to wipe his slate clean. He seems like the kind of guy that is too ‘goody two shoes’ to even commit tax fraud, but I was shocked when I heard that he …” (Cut off by Hacker speaking)

Hacker (played by Kevin) walks into frame

H: “Can I put some color back in this world; all this black and white is making me depressed?”

D: “Sure, whatever.”

H: “And then I said, let there be color!”

Chiaroscuro gone in next cut; color present

H: “There, much better. Now, did you find any information on our culprit?”

D: “Well, we know that they’re good at altering this simulation, so they must be good with computers.”

H: “Way to go, Sherlock, I mean do we have a witness or, better yet, a name?”

D: “We do have a name: Bostrom. That’s all we have though: no face, no age, and no location.”

Cut to another establishing shot; D and H are in the same position, but at different gas station

D (as he is getting in the car): “They may be on to us, let’s get out of here.”

Title card appears with sound of the car door shutting.

This script gives most of the stage directions and cinematography elements that will be used when going into the introduction with lone detective then shifting from the detective to the hacker speaking to one another. The script shown above is a huge improvement from our first script, we really did not have a grasp fro the plot and the title of our film. Once we started looking at locations and decided on a title, the idea just sparked and our second script came along. Also, the cinematographer for this film will be me, since I am going to use my phone for this film opening.

So here are some pictures of the locations we would like to film at around our area:

Kafe Kokopelli

• 

• 

As you can see this is an upscale for a smalltown. This is a popular restaurant and a good location to find a detective lost in thought, trying to figure out his case of a hacked simulation. The setting has a lot of character as well, the rustic yet clean environment, shows how proper and serious the detective is as a person.

Jiffy in San Antonio

• 

• 

This is just a convenience store, that everybody goes to. The Jiffy is a dive, but a common location. This would be a great filming spot to find the Hacker, who wants to stay low-key, or to show the opposing characteristics between the Detective and his common area and the Hacker and where he would rather reside. This also shows the hackers characteristics. We see that this place is run down and hidden, kind of the hacker. He is hidden and only appears when he has to cooperate with the Detective. So, the setting can add character itself.

Dade City Transmission

• 

• 

Cool story behind this place, Kevin’s Father actually owns it. This would give us more opportunity to film, we would have successful cooperation, compared to other places we have mentioned. In addition, this gives us a plot idea of having the detective and hacker meet up here because the detective’s car is being repaired. This could be where the detective thoughts get interrupted by the hacker, because not only is he worried about his case but a car as well. Again, this is very noir is, urban town auto place. Also, we would be able to probably film at night, adding to the setting of a noir film with a monotone color pallet, having the hacker then make the simulation they are in colorful. So, this sparked ideas when writing our second script.

Circle K Gas Station

• 

• 

So a gas station is another alternate location to shoot, we could have the detective filling up gas, talking to himself, then being interrupted by the hacker approaching him with sarcasm. This is definitely a consideration because it would catch the detective off guard and out of thought. Again, clearly showing the opposing characters but their reason for joining forces.

The group and I met up again this week to talk about the pre-production phase of our soon to be amazing film Simulation: Renegade. Poor Kevin could not attend due to having his wisdom teeth pulled out, but we improvised by having Facetime. We guided our discussion by going over a few questions:

What locations will your film be shot?

So, we thought of many locations around the Dade City Area, that would be perfect for our opening scene: Kafe Kokopelli, Dade City Transmission, the Jiffy in San Antonio, and a few of the Circle K gas stations.

Who will act in your film, if anyone? Why? What considerations do you need to make for scheduling and preparing your actors for production?

• Kevin Foughty, Fares Eltoukhy
  • The dudes are funny together and already know how to have a comedic dynamic
  • Considerations: Kevin just had his wisdom teeth removed. He’s in a bit of pain. Fares arrives late all the time. 
• We need to make sure we don’t  have conflicting schedules (i.e.college stuff and hobbies).

What will your film look, feel, and sound like? Why? How will you achieve it?

We want to make a film that shows the opposing sides of the two main characters. Since we may be filming in a restaurant, we will need to focus more on the mise-en-scene surrounding the characters than in the setting. We will have the detective wear more muddled colors and the hacker wear brighter, more saturated colors. The colors at first will be monochromatic. It will have science fiction features with the use of technology.  Chiaroscuro will be emphasized. Likely to be shot at night or in the afternoon in an urban location.

Will you record any sounds during production (dialogue, ambient sound, etc.)? If so, how? Will you record sounds in-camera or using a separate audio recording system?

We will definitely record sounds using a separate audio recording system. Also we will record the monologue using a microphone. Since we are most likely shooting at nighttime, ambient sounds like cars passing by, car horns or a sign flickering off and on. Probably going to have non-diegetic soundtrack in the background. 

What is the shooting schedule for your film opening? 

Name/Time	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Fares	Free – after school	Free	Free	No afternoon, not at night	Free	free	free
Nick	Inconvenient to do 6:00 to 6:30 PM, but am Free	Can’t do 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.	Free	Can’t do 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.	Inconvenient to do 6:00 to 6:30 PM, but am Free	Free	Free
Susan	College12:30 PM – 6:45 PM	Can’t do	Can’t do	Can’t do	Free 12: 30 – whenever	Free	Free2:00 – whenever
Kevin	Can’t do	Can’t do	Between 12:30 and 4: 00	Between 12:30 and 4: 00	Free after 12:30	Free after 12;30	Free After 12:30

As you can see weekdays are a no go for us and weekends are where all of our work will get done. This is because of college, due to dual enrollment, and hobbies.

What technology will you need in order to begin shooting?

This is an iPhone 11 Pro. The photo seen is a representation of my phone that we will be using to shoot out film opening. Yes, I know, Apple products are quality, so our film will be quality. But, this phone features three different camera lenses. The Wide Camera has a 26 mm focal length and a 1.8 aperture. The Ultra Wide camera lens, has a 13 mm focal length, optical image stabilization, is a 6-element lens, and lastly has 100% focus pixels. The Telephoto Camera has a 52 mm focal length, 2x optical zoom, and 2.o aperture. So all in all, very good camera.

This is a Lavalier Microphone, we will use this to record dialogue and monologue in our film. We have been using just regular Apple corded headphones that have a microphone, they have helped but do not produce a quality sound. So having this microphone, allows us to use it with our phones and it is portable then a larger microphone. The microphone can be found on Amazon: https://learnaboutfilm.com/making-a-film/equipment-for-low-budget-filmmaking/sound-equipment-for-film/

This is a phone stabilizer, that we will be using to place my phone on to. This is to help the camera not have a shakiness to it, producing a stable camera shot. This is like a gimble, but a lot cheaper and fitting our budget immaculately. We will be able to deliver a quality handheld film opening. The stablizer can be found at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Smartphone-Stabilizer-Ergonomic-Camcorder-Livestream/dp/B07TLC2MLB/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=iPhone%2B11%2Bgimbal&qid=1581788781&sr=8-20&th=1

Lastly, we will be using a green screen to have the special effects needed for the science fiction aspects of the film. Again, it’s portable and cost effective, perfect for our film. This item can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/EMART-Collapsible-Background-Photography-Case%EF%BC%88Green/dp/B07S684QZX/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=green+screen+portable&qid=1581788921&sr=8-4

So, this past week Nick and I have been working on the famous Film Pitch. This is basically just a video presenting our movie to the production and distribution company of our choice, which we chose Warner Brothers. So to appeal to Warner Brother’s, I based our presentation off a couple questions:

What production company are you pitching to? Establish this first so that we know what perspective to consider your film from.

Obviously, Warner Brothers.

What is the title of your film?

Simulation: Renegade

What is the basic synopsis of your film?

The main summary for our film is that a detective and a hacker are forced to team up to find a suspect who hacked a popular simulation called Renegade. However, the owners of the simulation are mysterious, and there seems to be more to the hack than what is initially let on. The two characters, the detective and the hacker, have directly contrasting personalities. The detective is dry and constantly serious, and is constantly monologuing to himself about his life. In contrast, the hacker is sarcastic and socially-oblivious, constantly breaking the detective’s train of thought. Everything that he says is either sarcastic, a joke, or not extremely helpful. He expresses his unhappiness about being paired up with the detective a lot more openly, and is a bit of a jerk to the detective. 

Why do you think this production company would be a good fit to make your film?

Warner Brothers is a good fit for our film because of the amount of history making of darker science fiction films that the company has made. Plus they are a larger company, which  shows that have many opportunities within their studio for our film to generate profit and become appealing to a worldwide audience

What films has the company made that are similar to yours?

The Matrix and the Dark Knight, these two movies are going to be close to ours because the Matrix uses the simulation that main character Neo lives in before going into the Matrix, reality. Our movie is incorporating the elements of the simulation reality that is relative in this society. The technology can be traced and hacked just like the Matrix, where the agents can trace phone calls. The noir part of Dark Knight will be incorporated, by having a gritty detective who lives in a big urban city trying to find the criminal.  

Does “the brand” of your film align with some of the other films this company has made?

Warner Brothers has produced darker and gritty films, they are known for fantasy and science fiction films. In addition, we are going to have a slightly comedic image, as our two main characters are strongly contrasting in character. We are striving to have the detective be extremely serious and gritty in this world, but this noir image is constantly subverted with the hacker’s ridiculous antics. It’ll be a contrast in tones for comedic effect. We want to have some action in the movie, which will probably be split with physical action done by the detective and ‘hacking’ done by the hacker. So the Warner Brother’s image aligns with ours because of the action and dark gritty movies they have made such at the Dark Knight and The Matrix. 

Can this company secure the resources necessary to make your film? (I.e. a small production company would not be able to make the next Jurassic Park.) + Approximately what kind of budget will your film require? Provide examples of other films to support your figures.

Warner Brothers is part of the ‘Big Five’, meaning they are financially capable of producing our movie without having any financial worries.They can provide the special effects and other additives that our film would need in order to produce a successful and quality movie. This can be equipment and proper editing programs, etc.   With independent films, they have made either one or two big hit movies in our genre, implying a problem of consistency. This can be seen with older film hits such as The Terminator and 2001: Space Odyssey, they were made in the Independent Production Companies these companies haven’t had a big seller in our genre since these films, again showing that their financially unstable and unfit to successfully produce our film. Which is why we need Warner Brothers, our movie needs a company that is willing to finance and produce our film with the special effects needed.

How do you plan to pursue distribution for your film?

We do want to pursue a wide or theater release since we will be working with Warner Brothers which is it’s own production and distribution company. With Warner Brothers distribution will be a breeze and using them as a production and distribution company would cost us less,because we do not have to spend money between  two different companies and we could get a deal/agreement with Warner brothers that would be a lower price for us to sign with them. In this case, signing with Warner brothers allows us to have the finances for a wide release, having a wide release could generate more money and have a larger audience base that people will be aware of and go see the film. Signing with Warner Brothers could help us with digital releases, they could make negotiations with streaming companies such as Netflix. 

Does the production company have a distribution arm of its own, or will you need to find a separate distribution company? If so, which ones do you have in mind?

The company has its own distribution company so we would not have to reach to another source of company, we can remain in the company, which would help us financially and would help with continuity of staying in the same requirements as Warner Brothers.  

Will your film seek distribution through the festival circuit?

No, we are doing a wide release. Since we would be with Warner Brother we would not have to project our film at festival circuits. We would be able to do a theatrical release, since Warner Brothers is one of the Big Five companies, they are based not only in the United States but abroad.

Overall:

So from this film Pitch, we were able to com to conclusions as a group about our financial position and why Warner Brothers is our best bet. Yes there could be drawbacks, back lash from the audience since its a movie being produced by a major company, our own way of distribution and non-theatrical release might not be considered due to the fact we have to abide by contracts and regulations from Warner Brothers. Even though there is negative from going with a big company, it will benefit us in the long run, since they have made successful movies and have the stable finances to back our film. We will basically profit….. BIG TIME. Also, I recorded the audio for the film pitch presentation, so of course Warner Brother will accept, confident speaker over here.
