i'm trying to build

0:05

a human-sized bird's nest you see a few

0:08

years ago a great big story we made a

0:10

film about a guy who makes

0:12

human-sized buzz nests i'm jason fan and

0:16

i'm a nest builder

0:17

[Music]

0:19

it struck me that these nests would make

0:22

an incredible

0:23

office

0:26

my name's jacob another filmmaker with a

0:29

great big story

0:30

i'm the kind of guy that will go insane

0:32

if i'm not busy

0:33

don't have a project or any swords

0:36

challenge so you can imagine working

0:38

from home has me

0:40

bouncing off the walls

0:43

so i decided to see if i could be

0:46

inspired

0:46

by one of great big stories very own

0:49

characters

0:50

i've built around 50 nests all over the

0:52

country

0:53

some of the nests are as big as 100 000

0:55

pounds of wood

1:02

but what if something that impressive

1:04

could be built by someone

1:07

average average that's optimistic

1:12

[Music]

1:17

so i've got a week to build my bird's

1:19

nest office for my first meeting on

1:21

monday morning which is in

1:22

seven days i haven't got watch on

1:24

exactly seven days

1:26

to cut

1:28

[Music]

1:31

screw assemble no

1:35

gather and we useless

1:39

actually i've got quite a lot to do so

1:43

i guess i should probably get on with it

1:46

[Music]

1:49

people often say things are built with

1:51

blood sweat and tears

1:53

but so far i think it's just a hundred

1:56

percent sweat

1:59

don't zoom in

2:00

[Music]

2:04

oh god my fiance is always accusing me

2:08

of putting up walls

2:10

i think she meant it as a metaphor but

2:12

i'm a visual person

2:15

no no my poor wall

2:18

2:23

[Music]
