1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,113
- You're gonna bring your knees

2
00:00:01,113 --> 00:00:02,490
up to your chest and roll over.

3
00:00:04,450 --> 00:00:05,824
- Shoot, I missed the mat.

4
00:00:05,824 --> 00:00:07,060
(light piano tune)

5
00:00:07,060 --> 00:00:09,240
- Hi my name is Willy Appelman
and this is Crowdsourcing

6
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,073
where we take basic office problems,

7
00:00:11,073 --> 00:00:12,741
and we head outside of the office

8
00:00:12,741 --> 00:00:14,901
to find unique solutions for one group.

9
00:00:14,901 --> 00:00:15,892
Today's problem,

10
00:00:15,892 --> 00:00:18,290
what do you do when someone
takes credit for your work?

11
00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:21,716
So we asked the most talented
people we could find.

12
00:00:21,716 --> 00:00:24,057
Aerial performers.

13
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:26,295
What would you do if someone
took credit for your work?

14
00:00:26,295 --> 00:00:28,870
- [Woman] I would first
probably try and talk to them

15
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:31,843
and understand if maybe there
was some misunderstanding.

16
00:00:31,843 --> 00:00:33,820
- I would try not to be a dick about it,

17
00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:35,460
even though the were a
dick for takin' my work.

18
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:37,413
- Get mad about it and make a new act.

19
00:00:37,413 --> 00:00:39,087
- Choose an aggressive song

20
00:00:39,087 --> 00:00:41,235
and put together a routine.

21
00:00:41,235 --> 00:00:43,114
- Use a lot of pointing gestures,

22
00:00:43,114 --> 00:00:47,878
a lot of cutting gestures,
a lot of angry gestures.

23
00:00:47,878 --> 00:00:50,040
- What if they just keep
on stealing your work

24
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,070
then what would you do?

25
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:52,165
- Then we would have a problem,

26
00:00:52,165 --> 00:00:54,653
and we'd definitely have to talk about it.

27
00:00:54,653 --> 00:00:56,450
(dramatic music)

28
00:00:56,450 --> 00:00:58,661
- Usually when I shoot stuff,
I tend to sort of leave out

29
00:00:58,661 --> 00:01:00,498
some key components so
it's harder to steal.

30
00:01:00,498 --> 00:01:03,210
But it's a whole situation
in the circus community.

31
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:05,020
Really try to give credit where you can

32
00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:07,908
because it takes hours to come
up with just one simple move.

33
00:01:07,908 --> 00:01:09,270
- Don't give it all away.

34
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:10,530
Don't give away all the secrets,

35
00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:13,190
kind of really be selective
in what you put out there.

36
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:14,420
- [Lady] Right, 'cause
they'll see it online,

37
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:15,730
they'll be like "oh
that's really beautiful,

38
00:01:15,730 --> 00:01:17,380
I can figure out how to do that."

39
00:01:19,098 --> 00:01:21,150
Sure you can figure out how to do it,

40
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:24,337
except for, I spent months
figuring out how that sequence

41
00:01:24,337 --> 00:01:27,010
should flow together and
now you've just done it

42
00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:27,960
in an afternoon.

43
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:29,260
- [Woman] I would just warn people,

44
00:01:29,260 --> 00:01:32,381
to where they think "this is
my idea, don't mess with it."

45
00:01:32,381 --> 00:01:34,600
Maybe, "here's my contribution thus far,

46
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,350
please credit this and work off of it."

47
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:39,140
- [Willy] So sometimes when
people take credit for your work

48
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:41,420
you kind of expect that
there's gonna be a certain

49
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:42,740
amount of that in the circus community.

50
00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:43,970
Somebody's gonna steal something.

51
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:44,803
- Absolutely.

52
00:01:44,803 --> 00:01:45,960
- I'm gonna see just how hard it is

53
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,370
to copy some of their work.

54
00:01:47,370 --> 00:01:48,203
Here we go.

55
00:01:54,050 --> 00:01:55,534
- Okay, that's called the meat hook.

56
00:01:55,534 --> 00:01:57,650
Yeah, I think I can do that.

57
00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:59,157
Okay, so I'm gonna just flip..

58
00:02:00,030 --> 00:02:01,190
How do I get my legs up?

59
00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:02,454
I have really weak wrists.

60
00:02:02,454 --> 00:02:04,095
Oh, shoulders to my wrists?

61
00:02:04,095 --> 00:02:06,193
- Roll, roll roll, roll.

62
00:02:07,810 --> 00:02:08,643
Don't hurt me.

63
00:02:08,643 --> 00:02:09,476
(laughs)

64
00:02:09,476 --> 00:02:10,309
- Ah, shoot.

65
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:13,023
I just tweaked my hip.

66
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:16,440
Outside of my arms.

67
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,519
- Go like, this way.

68
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:19,383
Legs that way.

69
00:02:19,383 --> 00:02:20,740
- Legs that way?

70
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:22,276
- [Instructor] Other side of the straps.

71
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:23,380
- [Willy] That way?

72
00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:24,213
- [Instructor] Yep.

73
00:02:24,213 --> 00:02:25,987
- Got it, okay!

74
00:02:25,987 --> 00:02:27,355
(exhales)

75
00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:28,950
Lot of colors.

76
00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:29,783
Well there you have it.

77
00:02:29,783 --> 00:02:31,247
If somebody takes credit for your work,

78
00:02:31,247 --> 00:02:33,279
you could confront them face to face.

79
00:02:33,279 --> 00:02:34,615
You could just move on,

80
00:02:34,615 --> 00:02:37,609
or you could choreograph a
dance to aggressive music

81
00:02:37,609 --> 00:02:38,978
and perform it just for them.

82
00:02:38,978 --> 00:02:40,353
Hey Amy.

83
00:02:42,043 --> 00:02:44,793
(intense music)
