we've arrived 18 months ago we accidentally started a journey of .
learning and experimenting five months into that we started producing videos .
for fun and now here we are just over a year later with over 160 videos and a .
whole channel devoted to getting up close and technical with interesting .
reactions it's been a lot of fun but the circumstances which allowed us to do all .
this are changing we're leaving our secret island base and splitting up to .
go and live in different places as Bill Murray said we can do more damage that .
way and the ants will certainly be celebrating it's been an amazing 18 .
months and it's really exercised and challenged us chemistry does teach you .
world in a very special way and requires a lot of discipline both in terms of .
research theory and in practice as well what we've learned about the world is .
transferable and we'll be taking our wisdom attitude and creativity into our .
new spheres of life so don't worry our disappearance is .
simply an illusion we'll be applying the same chem player philosophy wherever we .
are in the meantime we'd like to leave something to help you we were only .
inspired to create our channel when we saw great videos by the likes of nerd .
rage Nile red UC 235 myst32yt and many others you can see our own subscription .
list on our channel page but making videos isn't easy we're not .
professionals in this either and we had to learn the hard way .
so we're leaving a template behind for anyone out there to use who wants a .
quick start and some help in creating their own homemade science videos we're .
calling it openchem it's pretty simple a few pieces of music some background .
graphics and an introduction sequence like ours plus lots of information in a .
step-by-step guide about how to set up film and then produce a video in a .
similar style to ours we also share details of the free software we've used .
to create every part of our productions and give you the links whether you use .
openchem exactly as we show or customize it to your own style is totally up to you .
we're not in control of the content anymore you are the only thing we .
politely ask is that you don't use the files for commercial or for profit .
purposes except for donations we never commercialized this channel in any way .
you can find the files and instructions at our Google Drive page the link is .
shown here and also appears in the description below .
if this gives someone a kickstart just like the great videos which in part are .
inspired us in the first place then it will have been worth it .
for the time being though it's goodbye liquids solvents acids and anything .
hazardous has been returned from whence it came but our equipment will be safely .
stored away and protected at some point in the future we will come back and we'll .
do this again the only thing we don't know is when it might be six months or .
it might be six years we might pop back from time to time with .
surprise and remind you that we're still alive .
we'll leave you with a suggestion go and learn something totally new something .
hard for the hell of it start at the start with the basics and do it properly .
dedicate yourself when it feels like your brain can't take any more realize .
that that feeling you have is just fear and confusion so prioritize and manage .
work out what to learn first .
and get things in order then get over it and keep going keep climbing that .
mental cliff and don't stop don't just learn the facts but over time learn the .
philosophy and wisdom of the subject and see what it teaches you about the world .
and don't forget to challenge ask why question research and experiment but .
don't be arrogant other people's experience knowledge and wisdom will .
always be your source and your source .
and ultimately all you will leave behind remember that the more you learn the .
more you'll find the less you know people who think they know a lot simply .
haven't learned enough .
here's a final montage of some of our work from the past year and a final .
sneaking glance of our tiny home lab as it goes away .
thank you for watching our channel stay safe .
