(skateboard rolls)
- I'm back in Los Angeles, it feels great because
I'm with the team, but I'm also
launching book two!
I think we've got some fun things
planned at the studio for
the launch party of this book.
I'm heading out tonight with AaronsAnimals
for book two tour because Aaron is
one of the characters in the book.
Boom there he is!
There's also some adorable
little Jedi kittens right there!
There's Aaron and Zach,
doing something super mysterious by the trash.
Hopefully the team is down for a quick Nerf battle too.
First thing's first, looks like we've got some admin
to take care of.
(upbeat music)
[Zach] Good morning Ryan--
- [Ryan] Hey! - [Zach] you've got some mail.
- Oh wow, welcome back!
- [Zach] Hey, morning Josh.
- Good morning Zach.
- Thanks for letting me borrow this.
- Oh sure bro!
- [Zach] Good morning.
- Good morning!
- [Zach] Here's the revisions on the script for you.
Hey you made it back, you left this in my car though.
- Oh, thank you!
- [Zach] Katie, here's some mail for you.
- Oh thank you!
- Can you DIT this, import your cards?
(fast forwarding)
Erased top secret messages, check!
Nobody cleans up around here.
(upbeat music)
All right.
He needs to go.
(trash closing)
And now, quick team meeting.
Okay where are we at?
Hey, guys, we're doing a team meeting.
- All right. - Cool.
- You want to sit here?
- Now that business is taken care of,
you know what we do?
- What?
- Woohoo!
Yaaaaaaaassss!
Oh, that never gets old.
Well this is a big day, this is a big day for us.
I've got an announcement.
Check, check, one, two.
Check, can you hear me?
We are super proud of you.
And the book app is officially out!
(cheering and clapping)
Huge thank you and credit to the entire team
that developed it for all this time.
(cheering and clapping)
- This is Beverly, the artist.
- Hi. - And she did all
the illustrations and then our team did all the pieces
that make it come to life.
- If you guys saw the cover animation, that was me.
So worked on that for like five weeks off and on pretty much
Enjoy the book!
Please buy the book!
(laughs)
A celebration would not be complete without a Nerf battle
so we're setting everything up.
What blaster of choice do you have?
- I go with the Rival.
- We're gonna play with Rival rounds,
we've got four v four
we're gonna play a tap in game so this is gonna be
if you get blasted with one of the rounds,
you're going to have to go down on a knee
and raise your hand.
20 second count in and then you can be tapped.
Okay so blue team versus red.
Sneaky possum on three.
- (all together) One, two, three!
sneaky possums!
- Stinky possums.
- Hey we said sneaky possums, not stinky possums.
- Stinky.
- Stinky!
- They thought that we said stinky.
Yeah, go!
Covered, good.
Cover me Drew.
Wasn't even loaded!
(Nerf shooting)
I wasn't loaded that whole time.
- I've been hit!
- Oh, man.
Look out, look out, look out!
Aaron's coming around.
- We got Aaron.
- Going down the President Bunker Bark.
We should shut it.
I'm gonna go get Josh.
- We are doing really well.
This is the final match.
This is for all the marbles.
Here we go.
Our strategy here is to kind of work together as a team
to talk out loud a lot and communicate
so we played this in the past and that's how you win.
- Do we want to do like two groups? Two and three.
- We should do two and two and then someone goes rogue.
- On your mark.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five
four, three, two, one, go!
- They're all back here.
- You're all down hiding behind these bunkers.
(intense music) (Nerf shooting)
- Got him.
I'm out here
(yells)
on camera.
- Blue team, we're doing pretty well. Let's go down.
(suspenseful music) (Nerf shooting)
- Hey, Aaron.
You've been shot.
(intense music)
- Woo!
- That is all for me today.
That is how you celebrate a book launch right there.
Since we've installed the Nerf fortress,
we've probably done a battle every,
(whispers) every day.
I've gotta get ready to go on book tour to San Francisco,
I leave in a couple of hours so I'm going to go home, pack,
and hit the road.
This is the second book.
And I wanna show you something really cool.
That the book actually does.
It comes with a free app download for your iPhone, Android
and you can scan the book and it literally makes the book
come alive with augmented reality.
It floats on top of all the illustrations in the book.
I think there's 60 something illustrations
The augmented reality is interactive,
there's some games and there's some treasure hunts
in the comic book pages.
In this second book, Zach, our magical middle grader,
is actually still trying to master his magic
and he's using time travel this time.
Of course, that's a terrible idea for Zach.
'Cause everything is gonna go wrong
but I'm not gonna tell you anymore, you have to find out.
