50:14So it's insane that you can do this in such little time. It's amazing. All right. Just wanted to thank everybody that is watching the show live. If you're tuning in now, thanks for watching Office Hours. This is the show where we answer your technical production questions. And if you find any of these answers useful, if you like what you're watching on this show, you can contribute in various ways. I'm going to explain how you can
50:40support the show. One of the ways you can do that is just becoming a volunteer. So all the people that you see today on the show, these are all volunteer panelists that show up. We never know who's going to show up every morning and we always get different people coming in so there's different perspectives and a lot of people that come onto the show have different experience in

51:26great opportunities if you're looking to gain new skills in an area where perhaps it would be traditionally very very difficult to learn a new skill like how do you become a technical director well you can't just walk in the door and say can you let me cut your show for you with no experience This is the only place that I know of without going to school, post-secondary, without paying a lot of money.
51:49This is the only place that I know of where you can actually do this and get some training and work with these incredible high-end production tools. So if you're interested in that, I would highly recommend it. Of course, there's other roles available too. We have people that manage the Q&A system. we've got our pre-show coordinator that greets people at the door that checks camera audio
52:10lighting networking all that sort of stuff to make sure that they're going to look and sound right when they go on to the show there's there's so many different volunteer roles available so i'd recommend you check that out and of course you can show your support by donating to the show by going to officehours.global slash donate that's officehours.global slash donate all right we're
52:30almost done for today but Courtney let's go to the next question yeah for uh for I read the next question I just want to let guy know that Vladimir Putin enjoys watching the cows out in your pasture in the morning he eats his breakfast you didn't know that Claude was doing that for you but hey those cameras are going out next up is Paul Wall who's in Austin Texas he says iPhone 18 Pro
52:54has a variable aperture what can't the iPhone still do that Apple needs to add next well there's always something to add go ahead Courtney well you know it's all about the camera now with Apple I think they need to take the next step and make a very optical 5x zoom on their cameras or just do bite the bullet and make it a point and shoot camera with the phone on the back
