YouTubers across the internet praised the video\u2019s ingenuity, with some big creators like William Osman even helping out behind the scenes. However, the experience working on the project wasn\u2019t without its flaws, as Osman recently acknowledged the experience as \u201ctraumatic\u201d to be a part of. William Osman talks behind-the-scenes of MrBeast\u2019s Squid Game Osman recently appeared on the Trash Taste podcast, where the topic of his work on MrBeast\u2019s Squid Game project came up. When Host Connor \u2018CDawgVA\u2019 Colquhoun asked whether he was \u201cdigging up trauma\u201d by asking about Osman\u2019s experience working on the technical side of the video, Osman acknowledged it was pretty traumatic. For those who may not know, Osman and other fellow YouTube creators who specialize in engineering projects were brought on to help MrBeast develop specialized squibs \u2014 special effects equipment used for small explosions and blood effects \u2014 for the production. However, the engineer explained that no device on the market exists for that scale on the estimated budget the team had. For mobile users, the relevant portion of the video begins at 49:05. \u201cWe went through this nightmare process to\u2026completely synthesize from scratch, a device that could be replicated 500 times in basically two weeks.\u201d In fact, Osman only found out about the project three weeks before shoot day. \u201cWeek one was essentially what people think you have three weeks for.\u201d He went on to explain the many pitfalls his production team experienced developing the squibs, which included design companies falling through and multiple all-nighters. Though the YouTuber clarified he was proud of the final product and admitted the experience was fun in hindsight, he also reiterated it was extremely stressful. \u201cIt was hands down type-2 fun. It was one of the worst experiences of my entire life.\u201d With MrBeast teasing more ambitious Netflix series ideas, it remains to be seen whether or not Osman is willing to help out on another viral video production. Still, he admitted he would be open to another collaboration given the right circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
