0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Whoa...

0:01:09 > 0:01:14Welcome to the broadcast. You've won Hollywood's top honours

0:01:14 > 0:01:19- and worked with the best directors. Matt Damon, what drives you?- Casey,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22I prefer to ride my bike whenever I can.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24HE LAUGHS

0:01:25 > 0:01:30This seems like a good opportunity to talk about my new project.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32It's called Postcards From You.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36I want kids to send me one-minute videos they make.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41- I'll pick a few and air them on TV. Does that sound like fun?- Sure does.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46To enter, just email us and we'll send you the guidelines.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Matt Damon, always a pleasure.- This is the first time I've been here.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52But thank you.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Time for bed.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Something I made could actually be on TV?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Imagine how cool THAT would be!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Oh, I don't have a video camera. - You can borrow mine.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06It's not the latest model, but it works.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Sleep tight.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11I wonder what I should film.

0:02:11 > 0:02:17- Hey! Maybe I should make it about you!- Woof!

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Aagh!

0:02:26 > 0:02:32Congratulations! You're all invited to audition to be extras in my video

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- for Matt Damon. - I'm entering that contest too.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39You have to send in a one-minute video about something.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Don't waste your time.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46My daddy sold a car to Matt Damon's lawyer's assistant, so I'm gonna win.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50But you would be fabulous as Average Kid Number 2.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55What could I film for one minute that would be of scientific value?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Atchoo!- That's it!

0:02:58 > 0:03:02I have the perfect subject for my video - you!

0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Why me?- Why not? You're very interesting.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11Besides, I don't think I could get footage of a real alien in time.

0:03:11 > 0:03:16- What's YOURS gonna be about, Arthur Read?- Just wait and see.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22Every morning, Pal starts off with a bowl of delicious beef kibble.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25That's your cue, DW!

0:03:25 > 0:03:26# La-la-la-la-la! #

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Good morning, Arthur's smelly dog.

0:03:29 > 0:03:34Even though you've been very bad, I'll grant you a breakfast anyway.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Cut!

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Why are you dressed like that, and why are you giving Pal lettuce?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44I'm the breakfast fairy and your dog eats too much meat.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47He should have a salad once in a while.

0:03:47 > 0:03:52- There are no fairies in my movie! - It's OUR movie!

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Mom said I could help too.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Guys, you're missing a great nature video!

0:03:58 > 0:04:03The squirrel, known to scientists as, er, Squirrelis squirrelisimis,

0:04:03 > 0:04:07tries to make a meal out of the dog's unwanted breakfast...

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- PAL BARKS - He fails.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12The Read yard is indeed a hostile environment.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Now that your star is off catching a case of rabies,

0:04:17 > 0:04:20can we please film MY idea?

0:04:21 > 0:04:26And now, presenting the lovely Nadini!

0:04:26 > 0:04:30For her first trick, she will produce a pig out of a hat.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Wonderful! Amazing!

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Oh! Two of clubs?

0:04:41 > 0:04:46- That WAS the card I was thinking of! - This Nadini's not bad

0:04:46 > 0:04:51for someone who isn't even real! What do you think, Arthur Read?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54I think we need more ideas.

0:04:54 > 0:05:00The sneeze is one of the most fascinating responses in the body.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Atchoo!

0:05:01 > 0:05:06Now watch the same image slowed down to a quarter of the speed.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Aa-aa-tch-oo-oo!

0:05:09 > 0:05:14The air coming out of his nose is spewing out 100,000 bacteria.

0:05:14 > 0:05:19- That's your video?!- I was going to have George sneeze multiple times,

0:05:19 > 0:05:24but he had to work on HIS project. Hey, you guys could be my subjects.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I have to go...wash my pants!

0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Yeah, I'm late for, um, something. - Come on!

0:05:30 > 0:05:32I even have pepper!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Welcome to This Old Doll House.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm your host, George Lundgren.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42So, Miss Molina, what is it you wanna do with this house?

0:05:42 > 0:05:46It's too small for Raulito. He wants a barn put on the side,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48but it should look like a castle.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Uh, that could be a little difficult.

0:05:51 > 0:05:56But hey, I notice you have some rot over here, so what we're gonna do

0:05:56 > 0:06:01- is remove this side...- What are you doing?!- I'm trying to fix it!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04You're destroying Raulito's house! Monster! Alberto!

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Arthur sips the last of his smoothie,

0:06:09 > 0:06:11trying to come up with a new idea.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14But his head's as empty as his glass.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Would you cut that out? - That was good.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- But you moved your head. - I'm serious.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25The deadline is in three days, and I still don't know what to shoot.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30Have some mozzarella sticks. I haven't filmed you eating yet.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's it!

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Et voila!

0:06:36 > 0:06:41That is how you make David Read's lighter-than-air chocolate souffle.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Wait! It's not finished!

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Thank you, sprinkle fairy.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Cut!

0:06:48 > 0:06:52DW, you ruined the shot. Now we have to start all over.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54You can just edit it out.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Yes, smarty-pants! We can just edit it out.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01What's an edit, and how do we get it out?

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Editing is where you take all the stuff you've filmed

0:07:05 > 0:07:08and cut it up so it's fun to watch. I'll show you.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12First, you have to cut out the boring parts,

0:07:12 > 0:07:15or anything you don't want people to see.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17THEY GIGGLE

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Then you add in some background music.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26You can also add in some cool graphics for your title.

0:07:26 > 0:07:31Finally, after hours and hours of work, you're done.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36Arthur Read leaves his house with his finished one-minute video.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40All his hopes and dreams are in that envelope...

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Don't you think you have enough footage of me by now?

0:07:43 > 0:07:48I never got a shot of you brushing your teeth, but you're right.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Goodbye, Arthur. You've been a wonderful subject.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57- I'm really gonna miss you.- I'm your best friend. I see you every day.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Oh, yeah! Well, good luck.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08You included one to Matt's pet stylist, right?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Hey, Muffy! How did your video go?

0:08:10 > 0:08:15It was exhausting. The special effects took forever.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17You had special effects?

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Of course! How can you do Muffy The Umpire Slayer

0:08:20 > 0:08:24without a baseball team of flying vampire zombies?

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Is that yours?

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Yeah. It's my dad making a chocolate souffle.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34A cooking video? Well, there's always cable.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Ciao.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Moby Dick? Sure, I'll do it,

0:08:42 > 0:08:47- but I want 100% of the back end, and I wanna be the whale.- Script for you

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Mr Damon. It's by someone named Arthur Read.- Arthur Read?!

0:08:52 > 0:08:57Oh, I remember that kid's one-minute video. It was terrible.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Tell Arthur Read that he'll never eat lunch in this town again.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05- He's from Elwood City.- Tell him he can't eat lunch there, either.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Uh-huh? Yes, sir. Right away, Mr Damon.

0:09:25 > 0:09:31You should unwrap the chocolate bar before you make another souffle.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35I'm not cooking, DW. I'm just doing a little more work on the video.

0:09:35 > 0:09:41- But we finished it.- I decided that it needs more, um...pzazz.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45See, if I only shoot one frame of video at a time,

0:09:45 > 0:09:49and move these objects a little between each frame,

0:09:49 > 0:09:53it will look like they're moving on their own. It's a special effect,

0:09:53 > 0:09:59- stop motion animation.- Doesn't sound special. Maybe the glitter fairy...

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- No!- Humph!

0:10:01 > 0:10:06- Well, if you ask me, what we did before was just fine.- Oh-h!

0:10:09 > 0:10:12'We're delicious!'

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Oh, it'll have to do.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21"Are you sure you want to delete this?" Sure I'm sure...

0:10:22 > 0:10:25What have I done?!

0:10:25 > 0:10:27PHONE RINGS

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Hello?- Buster, I wanted to work on the video some more,

0:10:30 > 0:10:35- but I pressed "delete" instead of "save"...- You erased it all?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37- That's great!- How is that great?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39You can share my project.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44I have to edit 72 hours of footage down to one minute. I need help.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Do you really think there's a chance we could win?- Who knows?

0:10:48 > 0:10:51They put Mary Moo Cow on TV - why not you?

0:10:53 > 0:10:58Take that, you demon creature from Cooperstown!

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Ha-ha-ha! To reach home, you must face Vladimira,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05the Umpire!

0:11:05 > 0:11:10Aagh! Your credit card! It's blinding me!

0:11:10 > 0:11:13By the power of King Midas,

0:11:13 > 0:11:18I banish thee forever and for all time.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21What are they teaching kids these days?

0:11:21 > 0:11:26- Didn't the Crosswires sell your lawyer's assistant a car?- Oh, yeah!

0:11:26 > 0:11:28What a lemon!

0:11:28 > 0:11:33The last one - Arthur, The Story of A Kid, His Sister And His Friends.

0:11:33 > 0:11:38Well, at least it doesn't sound fake. Let's give it a shot.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Yes?- Hi.- Does an Arthur Read live here?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Oh-h! You're Matt Damon!

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Arthur's not here. He moved to Alaska,

0:11:52 > 0:11:57- or Venus, but he said you could put me on TV instead...- Did I win?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Is my video gonna be on TV?- Er, no.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05We're going with a George Lundgren. But since we're passing through,

0:12:05 > 0:12:10we wanted to speak to you and your parents. I loved your video,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- and I was hoping to make it into a TV show.- Wow!

0:12:13 > 0:12:15HE WHISTLES

0:12:15 > 0:12:20Let's get a shot of you and your dog on the sidewalk passing the house.

0:12:20 > 0:12:26# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet

0:12:26 > 0:12:29# Has an original point of view...

0:12:29 > 0:12:37# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet

0:12:37 > 0:12:41# Has an original point of view

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day... #
