I love the pacing.  I had a hard time keeping up with her quips.  👍

If you so choose to do it, the playback speed can be adjusted. Just hit the gear and choose a slower or faster one.

She's pretty good, but how did we get to a place where a person can post a video mirrored (backwards) and nobody even seems to notice anymore?

I see that a lot. I don't know why it happens but it doesn't bother me, unless there's writing I can't make out.

That was a very impressive video.  Props to the guy writing it but her delivery was perfect.

Not sure why there's an assumption that the writer is a guy, or even someone other than her, but it is in fact her.

Many people assume that Agar has a production team helping her script, record and edit these videos. In reality, she is her own production team and follows a schedule to ensure she has timely, organic content ready at the conclusion of the NFL week. Agar usually watches the games alone on Sunday afternoons and takes notes about key moments in the action. At the same time, she is monitoring social media and trying to gain a feel for what fans are discussing in order to write jokes to use in the video.

 

When Monday morning arrives, Agar is awake between 6 and 7 a.m. and immediately conducts game-by-game research to remember what occurred. The seven-hour endeavor, while copious, is essential to create an engaging and informative final product, which she begins to record later that day. Setting up her cell phone in front of a white wall, Agar prepares a wardrobe filled with an interminable amount of NFL team gear.

 

As her videos began to burgeon in popularity, teams started to send her jerseys and shirts to wear so they would be represented in the meetings. The filming takes between three-and-a-half to four hours, a time when she sometimes comes up with new jokes extemporaneously and refines the script. When her filming for the day concludes, Agar watches the entirety of the Monday Night Football game and amends the video as necessary.

 

Agar has a 3 a.m. wake-up call on Tuesday morning to commence the editing process, all of which is executed on her phone using the Videoleap mobile application. This past NFL season, she began to slightly overlap the audio from different clips to create the effect of conversational fluidity. Additionally, she makes sure that all of the footage is recorded behind a white backdrop to accentuate the wardrobe, even booking hotel rooms based on the walls themselves. All of these videos are recorded with a medium shot in vertical orientation, emitting an element of simplicity rendering the content easy to consume.

 

“I [have] thought, ‘Well, this is how it started, but people are adapting to the industry, and once you get a better feel for how you shoot the videos, then maybe you can make it a little bit higher production,” Agar said, “but honestly I think the videos do so well because they’re lower production and it feels that you’re just in a room with all of these teams talking to each other in a meeting.”

 

Once she records the final shots for the video on Tuesday morning, Agar posts the finished outcome and sees as people express their opinions through likes and comments. There are times when she will respond to fans on social media and utilize feedback for future projects while also remaining cognizant of criticism. Messages of enthusiasm and support outweigh those explicating repulsive and acerbic parlance, a community she has built that has become evident at in-person events. Agar recently attended her third Super Bowl and took part in interviews and other initiatives while on site for the league’s championship game.
