Sofi Reacts to "WHO DID IT?" SEASON ONE. | Transcript:

You guys, we are about to watch the first eight minutes of Who Did It season 1 on TV. Season 1 has officially premiered on June 10th. So, it is out right now. If you go to TubeBu and search up who did it, you guys can watch the first season, which has seven episodes. It's really great. I'm not going to spoil obviously anything in this video because, you know, it's it's a murder mystery, so I don't want to spoil the mystery for you guys, but I am so excited for you guys to see it because I have truly worked really hard for this. Um, I have written every single line, every single word that you hear on the screen. We filmed the whole season in just one week, which is an amazing accomplishment. I had an

amazing cast of so many lovely young people. I had an amazing crew who helped with everything. We're going to watch together. I'm going to see it and share with you guys um some thoughts or some maybe behind the scenes stuff that happened when we shot this. So, let's get started again. Whole season on Tuby. Go watch it. Here we go. Oh my god. Here we go. Period. This was I'm I'm going to watch this first, then I'm going to tell you guys a period. I love the little wave. A Oh my god, I'm so excited. Look up and down. I probably saw this intro like I probably have seen this intro

like honestly if I had to count maybe 60 times. But I still get excited every single time I watch it. Period. Oh, amazing. Oh my gosh, guys. When we were shooting the intro because this is the official intro. It's going to be on every single episode. And we shot this so fast. We literally did it three times. First time we did it, it was the slow-mo was like 5 minutes long. I was like, "That's way too long." We did it a second time a little faster. It was still too slow. The mic was or the light was like popping into frame and everything. I literally had everybody line up one by one and I had them do an action, a movement. And then the third time we filmed it, we literally filmed

it in like 20 seconds. So imagine the camera guy literally going from me till con at the end. 10 people like this in 20 seconds and the people my cast were doing um so many different things at once. Like if you see it like slow motion like this, everybody was like this, you know, so and it paid off in the end obviously. All right, here we go. Oh my gosh. Period. I had to mention my plushies. Oh my gosh. Period. Okay. So, this part is basically introducing the scene. So, my character's name is Isidora, right?

She's a dancer. Like in the beginning, you saw the shoes, the dance shoes, the dance bag, the water bottle. She's a dancer, right? And then we saw she had a play button, so that means that she's an influencer, too. And here she's reading some comments. Now, if you pause the video and you actually read the comments, they're hilarious. I the profile pictures, the names is it's it's very um very realistic. We shot this at like honestly like 9:00 p.m. in the What? Is it? Yeah. You have practice from 8 every day this week. She's pissing me.

Yes, I know, Dad. My flight leaves at 6 in the morning tomorrow. So, you have been driving yourself this entire week to practice. Yes, I know, Dad. And don't stay up on that phone on social media or whatever for so long. I need you rested for practice. That's more I wanted to show the struggle of a young girl who is doing social media but her parents or her parent is not very supportive. So, you know, she's reading the comments, but then at the same time, her dad is like, "You got to go to dance because you can't do social media or like it's not that important." So, I kind of wanted to show that um pain with

my character. I got it, Dad. Bam. She gets a DM. She gets a DM from offline inviting her to an exclusive 5day stay at this mansion. Suspicious, right? She glances at her bag like, "What should I do?" And she begins typing [clears throat] to her dance teacher and she's like, "I'm sorry. I'm very sick." And the dancer, she's like, "Ah, it's fine. Go ahead." Okay. So she's plotting against not against she's plotting behind her dad kind of and she agrees to come to the state now before we move on that whole scene um was probably around three pages of my script and mind you a page is a lot of

actions so it's so funny how this was like uh a one and a half minute scene maybe which basically had like a bit of interaction with um Isidora and her dad and then Isidora saying I got to do this dad but to make it so smooth you got to write it all down in the script so you make sure you don't forget anything. Here we go. This is already bringing me back memories from when we shot this. Got to use your little legs. Nice car. Thanks. Nice car. [snorts] Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I wanted to say that when we shot this outside, it was scorching hot outside. I remember we brought not only the cast downstairs by

the way. If you like take a look at the mansion, it's like up on the hill and then the driveway is literally you have to walk down. It was such a long walk and everybody was sweating [snorts] and I was like trying to fan everybody because, you know, hair gets messed up, makeup gets messed up and the crew was also down there. We had like a huge bag of water bottles for everybody to drink. And I remember the it was just so hot and there were so many flies outside like you're about to see something where I like swat away a fly if this is in this part. Right there. I was supposed to wave at um Venice or her character's name is Brin. I was supposed to wave at her cuz like she looked at me but there was a fly right

literally in my eye so I kind of swatted it away and kind of did a wave at the same time. Um and then my face is kind of awkward because you know that's kind of awkward to do when you first meet a person. So we're building relationships here. damn and then that little camera angle. Okay, this is beautiful. Holy crap. I love this part. Yo, this is crazy, chat. Wait, wait, wait. Before whenever I also write dialogue, I always make sure to use, you know, Gen Alpha, Gen Z, R slang to make sure that it's realistic because I we all use it whether we want to or not. We use chat, we use RZ. And I always put that in my dialogue because these are real teenagers, young adults. They are supposed to use this kind of language. So this is really fun.

Babe, look at this. It's nice. OKAY. [screaming] Calm down. Originally, I had Venice. Um, they had a dialogue, I believe, some kind of line, I don't remember, where they like stood just like the rest of the PE the cast and then they walked inside the house. And then as we were shooting this, I was like, you know what, maybe it'll be fun if she just kind of ran inside. That feels like something that her character Brin would do. And uh, we tried that. And then obviously Train or um, Rose, her older sister, is like going after her like, "Oh my god, calm down." I just felt like that sisterhood is very relatable when you have a younger and older sister and it worked.

Oh damn, this is perfect. Oh my god, bro. Mom's going to be so happy to see us here. She always said our videos would pay off. Bro, I got to check it out. Yeah. Oh, look at that little look at that Yo, this place is so cool. Oh my god. How did you get invited? Through my phone. Oh my god. I loved making the scenes with Ko and Sydney or their characters Kyle and Jenna because they're like supposed to be like not really they're they're pretty much enemies in the script um in the mo in the series but in

real life they're just the best of friends. So, it's always so fun to put these scenes together because literally like three seconds before they lock in, they're like joking around, having fun, filming Tik Tok dances, and then bam, we're rolling and they like purely hate each other. It's just very fun to see that um dynamic between the two. Yeah. Rose, someone I love this. Wa room. This is insane. No way. Wow. Just look at that view. This is that rich. Now, that view very soon is going to be actually a disaster about the whole thing because, you know, one of them is a killer and they're stuck in a mansion with

literally nobody around them and no service. So, people live. bro. Really? No Wi-Fi, man. There's no way. No. No bars or anything. What? This is giving trust fun. So now one by one um the influencers the group of influencers are getting text messages from offline basically welcoming to the estate. And the question is how are they getting these messages if there's no service? Wow, that breakfast. Oh my gosh. I gotta say, we had that breakfast delivered every single day of each day of the set. We were filming for seven days. So, we literally had that breakfast for seven days. It's from N Cafe and they literally, it's crazy.

They gave us humongous portions of it. And I remember like we would enjoy the food and then we would use it as props. And the greatest thing about having food props is the fact that, you know, people are hungry and you can eat it. Um, and I just remember like setting up like cuz we were filming multiple we were filming different episodes every single day. So I was like, you know, whenever it's time to have breakfast, we're like, "Oh my god, can you please put the breakfast here?" Blah, blah, blah. We set up the breakfast, film it, eat it, move on. you know, and sometimes um there was a lot of flies inside the house, so we had to swap them away or else they would eat our food. Um but yeah, I remember being

this food was really, really good. So, everyone got invited from this offline? Yeah, bro. When I got that text, I was like, "Yo, this be fire." Yeah. I like also I wanted to mention one of my like kind of not really a pet peeve but it's really fun to whenever I watch other movies and TV shows I really like to see how the actors do real life stuff. For example, here everybody's eating. I want to see actors eat. You know what I mean? So I made sure that everybody was actually eating something and based on their character. If you look, for example, at Bruce, who is Con, um Bruce is the character, and then um

my characters are getting messed up because I know the actress's names. Um Kai, who is played by Josh. Um they're kind of like the foodies. So, if you look, for example, like Kyle, um which is who's played by Ko, he's not really eating a lot, but like Bruce and Josh, even in funny moments, they keep eating. And I like that people are actually realistically eating in the episode. 5 days all expenses paid vacation. I've never seen another brand like try this hard, right? Anyone here know each other or uh unfortunately yes.

Unfortunately is crazy. What's up with you two? Nothing. Oh, she's my ex. Uh we broke up a few months ago. Nothing too crazy. What? We kind of already know each other. And guys, that is the first eight minutes of the entire episode 1. I cannot go more than that because I do want you guys to watch it, see it for yourself. But I am going to um share a few more things that happened in the entire season. I remember like from when we were shooting this, we had the whole day to shoot. We had day and then night. And nighttime the sunset since we shot this what, maybe spring.

Um, the sunset was like at like 7:30 p.m. And we were rapping at like not that late afterwards. So, we would have like the whole day to shoot and then this much night. And there's a lot of night scenes coming in the season. Um, and so I just remember we were structurally planning everything to make sure that we filmed, yes, the day scenes, but then when the night scenes come, we film, film, film, film. So I just remember the night scenes were so hectic. Number one is it was p dark outside, so it was kind of hard to see. Um, and we just had limited time. Um, now I do have to mention that there is uh fake blood in the season and this was one of my favorite parts [snorts] to do in the whole series. getting the blood because

I literally bought like two gallons of fake blood just because I needed maybe some. And I remember um I was doing the special effects makeup. So whenever like I'm not going to spoil anything, but when a person gets, you know, um I would put the blood on them, you know, make sure it looks realistic enough, but not obviously too realistic. Um anything else that's makeup related on the body, I'm not going to again spoil anything. Um, I just remember it was really, really fun. What's another thing that I remember? Let me go back to some other episodes. There's a few scenes where my character Isidora is having some, you know, mental breakdowns and throughout these seasons, she has

some panic attacks. I wanted to kind of put in a character who has panic attacks because I personally had friends who experienced them and it does stand in a way and makes a situation much more scarier, especially when there's, you know, a killer among them. Um, and I just remember when we were shooting this, I wanted a specific shake to the camera. Like I wanted a little shake and then when I was acting it out, I was like breathing a lot. I was like hyperventilating. So, a lot of times after I do those scenes, I like saw black spots because I was breathing in so much. and a lot of the crying scenes. Um, I just remember I took a minute, listened to some music, hopped back in, and did the scene

because it wasn't like, um, a lot of the stuff we obviously didn't shoot in order. So, for example, we're doing like a happy scene with a group and then bam, I'm crying in the bedroom or something like that. So, during this time, obviously, you have like five minutes when the cameras are being set up, when the lights are being set up, everything is hidden, nobody's in the mirror reflections, and then bam, you're supposed to be crying. And during those five minutes as a director, um, not only do I have to direct the crew, tell the cast, you know, prepare for this next scene, but I also have to prepare myself since I'm also starring in the series. So, finding that balance was really,

really fun because this is I always direct and I always star in my own um films and series on my YouTube. Um, but this is the one where I had a bigger cast and I had a bigger crew and we were able to do everything while I kind of managed both the directing, um, the producing and the acting part of the series. Another thing I want to mention, there's so much humor, so many jokes in the entire season. I'm so ready for you guys to see that. I'm not going to spoil anything cuz it's it's funny when you watch it. I wanted to say that in the first episode, this is something you can pay attention to.

I kind of foreshadow how a person dies. If you pay attention a little bit to the dialogue or a little bit like a weird action, you might get it. I'm going to do a separate video about it, but like if you want to find out for yourself, um, you know, there are a few different parts in episode one, just episode one, where we can foreshadow how every person whoever dies. And if you do find it, let me know so I can tell I can say if you got it correct or not. All right, you guys, that is the first eight minutes of our episode one of Who Did It? season one. I again cannot thank enough for my entire cast and crew and everybody who was involved with the project to make it amazing. You know, this is kind of like a debut because yes, I've been doing my own

films and series on my YouTube, but this is the first one on a streaming platform. I am so excited for you guys to see it on Tuby. If you have any funny moments or your favorite moments to share, please post them. Tag me. Tag my production company, Sophisticated Productions, so we can see it. and see what you guys are enjoying about the series. So maybe we can um you know take some recommendations for the future. I'm going to stop here. I'm going to have you guys go watch it. I hope you enjoy. I've said that a million times now because I really do hope you guys enjoy. So I'll see you guys there. And if you watch it till episode 7, which is

the last episode, you find out who did it. All right, I'll see you guys later. Bye.
