Episode 5 was a fun build. Zach and I build almost everything together, but in this episode I wanted to build a jumping puzzle for him and I didn't want him to see it until it was done. After he finally saw it (and yelled at me for an hour because he hates jumping puzzles) we practiced it and then recorded it. There's actually a jump at 5:48 in the movie where you have to jump up and away from the wall and then push yourself back to make it. We practiced this jump over 25 time and I made it almost every time but Zach could not make it. He made it once and that was it. So in the movie he bypasses the jump by dumping water and swimming up the water instead. This episode is crucial to the plot of the story, because at this point Telemindred has an artifact that can detect us, and so he ends up finding us while we're trying to get the apples. This is why we need the apples; they prevent Telemindred from detecting us.
Fun Fact: Near the end of the movie I mention something called the "Curse of Telemindred". This may sound a little crazy, but this is a real curse. There's a phrase that Zach and I like to use that goes "I'm good at what I do." Every time we use that phrase on a night that we are recording SOMETHING goes wrong. Every. Single. Time. The night we started recording episode 5 I was showing Ben and Dylan the Dungeon and they said it looked really good. I said "Thanks, I'm good at what I do." And all hell broke loose that night. Technical errors, minecraft glitches, me dying in the game, Herman teleporting magically to us without anyone of us doing anything. There's actually a bloopers video we released that has the scene where Herman kept teleporting to us magically. So now we don't use that phrase when we record, because something is bound to go wrong, and the Curse of Telemindred will get us.
