Transcript: Meteorologist / Chocolate Maker
Mikaela pops up against a colourful animated background. She's around 12, with mid-length curly brown hair, and wears a blue sweater.
[WHOOSH]
She says MY NAME'S MIKAELA, AND SINCE
I CAN REMEMBER,
I'VE DREAMT ABOUT WHAT I'LL BE
WHEN I GROW UP!
THERE ARE SO MANY COOL JOBS,
SO I DECIDED TO TRY THEM ALL.
In animation, gear from different jobs appears on her: an astronaut's helmet, a construction worker's vest and helmet, a chef's hat and apron, and a police officer's hat and badge.
She says I BUILT AN AWESOME STUDIO IN
MY GARAGE,
SO I CAN MAKE AND SHARE VIDEOS
ABOUT MY JOURNEY.
She pops up in her garage. The place has a multi-coloured tile floor, hangers with different uniforms, a bike, a desk, and a colourful back wall with a graffiti that reads "When I grow up!"
She says IT'S ALL ABOUT DISCOVERING
WHAT I'LL BE
WHEN I GROW UP!
The name of the show appears in purple surrounded by colourful silhouettes of different animals and shapes. It reads "When I grow up."
A film countdown clocks appears.
In her studio, Mikaela says HEY GANG, IT'S ME MIKAELA!
I'M TAKING A LITTLE BREAK FROM
TRYING OUT DIFFERENT JOBS TO GET
SOME WELL DESERVED SUN.
TIME TO HIT THE BEACH.
(WIND NOISES)
Self-hugging, he walks back in the studio and says IT WAS A LITTLE COLDER THAN I
THOUGHT. GOING TO GET WARM.
Wrapped in a blanket and holding a hot beverage, she says AHH. MUCH BETTER.
I GUESS I SHOULD'VE CHECKED THE
WEATHER FORECAST, NORMALLY I DO.
THE PEOPLE THAT DO THOSE REPORTS
ARE CALLED METEOROLOGISTS,
AND IT LOOKS LIKE A REALLY FUN
JOB!
YOU GET TO PREDICT THE WEATHER,
WHICH HELPS PEOPLE PLAN THEIR
LIVES.
I'M GOING TO BE A METEOROLOGIST
FOR THE DAY,
SO I CAN PREDICT THE WEATHER.
WHEN I GROW UP!
She unwraps herself.
(WIND NOISES)
She wraps herself back with the blanket.
[WHOOSH]
A slate appears with the caption "When I grow up!"
Wearing a winter coat, Mikaela appears on the street and says LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT THE WEATHER
WRONG AGAIN!
She takes the coat off and says THAT'S OK BECAUSE RIGHT BEHIND
ME IS GLOBAL NEWS,
WHERE A REAL METEOROLOGIST IS
GOING TO SHOW ME
HOW TO PREDICT THE WEATHER!
[WHOOSH]
She walks in the building.
Ross says HI THERE MIKAELA.
Ross is in his thirties, with short straight brown hair and a beard. He wears blue trousers, a gingham blue shirt and a gray tie.
Mikaela says HI ROSS.
A caption reads "Ross. Meteorologist."
Mikaela says ROSS IS A
METEOROLOGIST HERE.
ROSS DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WEATHER FORECAST IS LOOKING
LIKE FOR TOMORROW?
Ross says LET'S GO IN AND FIND OUT.
Mikaela says SURE!
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says ROSS WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PART
ABOUT BEING A METEOROLOGIST?
Ross says WELL MIKAELA, IT
NEVER GETS BORING,
THE WEATHER'S ALWAYS
CHANGING RIGHT?
AND I GET TO WORK WITH ALL THESE
TALENTED WRITERS AND PRODUCERS
HERE AT GLOBAL,
WITHOUT THEM THE NEWSCAST
WOULDN'T GET ON THE AIR.
Mikaela says TRUE. COOL!
Ross says OK MIKAELA FOLLOW ME.
THIS IS THE WEATHER CENTRE.
(harp music plays)
Mikaela says WOAH.
SO WHAT'S THE FIRST STEP WHEN
PREDICTING THE WEATHER?
Ross says WELL THE FIRST THING YOU WANT TO
DO IS SORTA LIKE TAKING A
SNAPSHOT OR A SCREEN GRAB ON A
SMARTPHONE.
IT SHOWS YOU WHAT'S BEEN
HAPPENING OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS
AND ALSO WHAT'S HAPPENING
CURRENTLY WITH THE ATMOSPHERE.
Mikaela says LET ME TRY.
She licks her finger and puts it up.
Mikaela says ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS
IT'S EXACTLY...
[LOUD RUMBLE]
Mikaela says ROOM TEMPERATURE!
(LAUGH)
Ross does the same and says I ALSO DO THAT SOMETIMES,
BUT WE ALSO USE PRETTY HIGH TECH
EQUIPMENT TO SEE WHAT THE
ATMOSPHERE IS DOING RIGHT NOW
AND ALSO MOVING FORWARD, SO ONE
OF THE TOOLS THAT WE USE
IS BASICALLY A SATELLITE THAT'S
IN SPACE MONITORING THE
WEATHER ON THE GROUND
AND IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
In animation, Mikaela waves at a satellite.
[SPACESHIP SOUND]
Ross says AND WE ALSO LOOK AT STUFF LIKE
THERMOMETERS ON THE GROUND
THAT CAN GIVES US
READINGS, TEMPERATURES,
THERE'S ALSO ANEMOMETERS
THAT GIVE US THE WIND,
SO ALL OF THIS COMES TOGETHER
AND LETS US NOW WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH THE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.
[WHITE NOISE]
Forecaster Mikaela says GREAT JOB MIKAELA.
TODAY'S WHEN I GROW UP FORECAST
IS LOOKING AT A 90 PERCENT
CHANCE OF FUN MOVING IN THE
NORTHEAST,
AND WITH ALL THAT FUN YOU CAN
GET BET WE'LL LEARN ABOUT HOW
OUR FRIEND ROSS BECAME A
METEOROLOGIST.
[WHOOSH]
In animation, a comic book cover appears with the title "When they were growing up! By Mikaela!"
[PAGE FLIP]
The pages of a comic book flip.
(MIKAELA)
ROSS WAS AN ACTOR WHEN
HE WAS GROWING UP
AND GOT TO ACT IN SOME COOL
SHOWS!
BUT HE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR
BROADCAST NEWS AND WEATHER.
A frame shows young Ross leaning on a TV and a dialogue bubble popping out of the screen that reads "The news at six!"
Mikaela says SO IN UNIVERSITY, HE TOOK
A RADIO AND TELEVISION ARTS PROGRAM.
IN HIS FINAL YEAR, HE GOT A JOB AT A WEATHER NETWORK.
A frame shows Ross looking at satellite images in his computer and a thought bubble that reads "Looks like rain!"
[COMPUTER NOISES]
Mikaela says AND ROSS WAS INSPIRED
TO SCHOOL TO STUDY METEOROLOGY.
ONCE HE FINISHED, HE GOT A JOB
AS A WEATHER FORECASTER
EVER SINCE.
Another frame shows Ross forecasting and a thought bubble that reads "I love my job!"
[WHOOSH]
Forecaster Mikaela says WELL LOOKS LIKE YOU SHOULD BREAK
OUT THE SUN SCREEN
BECAUSE THE FORECAST FOR ROSS IS
BRIGHT AND FULL OF SUNSHINE.
NOW HERE'S MIKAELA WITH SPORTS.
[WHITE NOISE]
Newscaster Mikaela says ALRIGHT SPORTS FANS, IT WAS A
WILD WEEKEND.
THE WORLD SERIES OF ROCK, PAPER,
SCISSORS WAS ALL IT WAS
CRACKED UP TO BE.
I. WAIT...
OOPS. LOOK LIKE I GOT CARRIED
AWAY. WAIT UP ROSS!
[WHOOSH]
Ross and Mikaela walk outside the building.
Ross says SOMETIMES METEOROLOGISTS
CAN COME OUTSIDE
AND TAKE IN THE FRESH AIR, AND
ALSO SEE IF THE OBSERVATIONS
WE WERE MAKING INSIDE,
ARE HAPPENING OUTSIDE.
Mikaela says AHH.
HOW DO YOU VERIFY
THE WEATHER?
Ross says WELL ONE OF THE TOOLS
WE USE IS THIS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
Mikaela says A THERMOMETER.
Ross says VERY GOOD! JUST LIKE THE
ONE YOU USE AT HOME.
NOW DO YOU KNOW
HOW TO READ ONE?
Mikaela says YES.
IT'S 10 DEGREES CELSIUS.
Ross says AND SOMETHING ELSE WE USE,
LOOKING AT THE CLOUDS.
Mikaela says I CAN DO THIS ONE. THAT ONE
LOOKS LIKE A DOG [DOG BARK],
AND THAT ONE LOOKS
LIKE A PIG [PIG NOISE].
OH WAIT.
NOW THAT ONE THAT LOOKED
LIKE A DOG LOOKS LIKE A PIG.
AND THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A
PIG, NOW LOOKS LIKE A CHICKEN.
[CHICKEN CLUCK]
Ross says WELL BESIDES TRYING TO DECIDE
WHAT ANIMAL THE CLOUDS LOOK LIKE
WE ALSO LOOK AT CLOUDS TO
DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S GOING
TO RAIN, WE CAN ALSO
TELL IT'S WIND DIRECTION.
Mikaela says HEY! AN ALLIGATOR!
Ross says OH YEAH.
[WHOOSH]
Fortune teller Mikaela says NOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE
WEATHER IS LIKE RIGHT NOW,
IT'S TIME TO PREDICT WHAT IT
WILL BE LIKE LATER ON.
SO I HAVE MY CRYSTAL BALL TO SEE
INTO THE FUTURE.
I SEE. I SEE. I SEE!
NOTHING.
OH WELL. LET'S SEE HOW ROSS USES
TECHNOLOGY TO
PREDICT THE WEATHER.
[WHOOSH]
Ross says SO NOW THAT WE HAVE A HOLD ON
THE CURRENT CONDITIONS,
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
A LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH THE WEATHER,
SAY TOMORROW OR
EVEN INTO THE WEEKEND
AND NEXT WEEK.
Mikaela crosses her fingers and says PLEASE BE SUNNY! PLEASE BE
SUNNY! PLEASE BE SUNNY!
[DRUM ROLL]
A clip shows Mikaela crossing her fingers and making dark clouds move away.
[SHINING SOUND]
Ross says WELL BESIDES BEGGING MOTHER
NATURE THERE ARE OTHER WAYS
WE LOOK AT THE WEATHER
CONDITIONS, TOMORROW,
EVEN FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS,
EVEN SOME MODELS CAN SHOW US
MONTHS FROM NOW, THEY'RE
COMPUTER MODELS.
BUT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
THESE MODELS ARE JUST A SCENARIO
A POSSIBLE SCENARIO OF WHAT
COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
NO ONE MODEL IS GOING TO
HAVE THE PERFECT EQUATION,
OR THE PERFECT ANSWER.
NOW AS METEOROLOGISTS, AS
HUMANS, WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH
WEATHER MODEL IS HANDLING
THE SITUATION THE BEST.
SO IT'S BASICALLY A
COMPLEX PUZZLE THAT WE PUT
TOGETHER EVERYDAY.
Mikaela says CAN WE TAKE A LOOK
AT THE PUZZLE?
Ross says ALRIGHT SO,
PART OF THE PUZZLE
IS KNOWING WHEN IT'S
GOING TO RAIN.
He shows Mikaela satellite images and says YOU CAN SEE IT SHOWING SOME RAIN
MOVING IN BY THE WEEKEND.
AND YOU KNOW THE WEEKEND IS A
PRETTY IMPORTANT TIME FOR
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE OFF WORK.
SOME OF THESE MODELS ARE
SHOWING THE RAIN MOVING IN
EARLIER, LATER.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DECIDE,
WILL IT ACTUALLY RAIN
THIS WEEKEND.
Mikaela says SO ONCE YOU'VE MADE YOU
DECISION, THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?
Ross says WELL, WE'VE GOT TO PUT THE
WEATHER STORY INTO GRAPHICS
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE
STANDING IN FRONT OF WHEN YOU
DELIVER YOUR
WEATHER FORECAST.
THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE
WEATHER STORY IN YOUR HEAD
TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF,
THERE'S NO SCRIPT USUALLY WHEN
YOUR DOING A WEATHER FORECAST.
Mikaela says ROSS I'M READY TO
REPORT THE WEATHER.
Ross says LET'S DO IT!
Mikaela bumps her fist on Ross' open hand and says TURKEY.
(LAUGH)
[WHOOSH]
They walk on a room with a big screen.
Ross says SO THIS IS WHERE ALL THE
WEATHER MAGIC HAPPENS..
Mikaela says IT'S SO... IT'S SO...
GREEN.
Ross says AND THERE'S A REASON
THAT IT'S GREEN.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CAMERA,
COMPUTERS TURN THIS
SLIMY GREEN COLOUR INTO THE
WEATHER GRAPHICS THAT WE
BUILT EARLIER.
Mikaela says THAT'S ME?
ON THE MAP?
WHAT IF I WORE
GREEN TODAY?
Ross says I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU WEAR ALL GREEN.
He covers Mikaela's body from the neck down with a green cape. Her body disappears from the map.
Mikaela says WOAH.
Ross says WHERE'S MIKAELA'S BODY?
IT'S A FLOATING HEAD.
Mikaela says LOOK MOM NO HANDS.
She covers Ross with the cape and says AND NOW... ROSS IS GONE.
Ross says WHERE DID I GO?
WHERE AM I?
OH I'M BACK.
(LAUGH)
Ross says THIS WEATHER CLICKER. FOR
METEOROLOGISTS IT'S LIKE
THEIR BEST FRIEND. YOU
PRESS THIS GREEN BUTTON,
AND IT MOVES THE MAP.
SO WATCH THIS.
I'M GONNA PRESS IT AND YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE THE MAPS MOVING.
NEXT THREE DAYS.
Mikaela says WOAH!
Ross says AND THEN I'M GONNA
PRESS IT AGAIN,
AND I CAN GIVE YOU THE
NEXT SEVEN DAYS
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says WOAH!
THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST.
Ross says SO, GIVE IT A TRY,
Mikaela says DRUM ROLL PLEASE.
[DRUM ROLL]
Mikaela says TA-DAAA!
THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS
LIKE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
COOL!
Ross says OK, NOW IT'S TIME TO GIVE YOU
SOME POINTERS ON HOW TO POINT.
Mikaela says OH! SOME POINTER POINTERS.
Ross says YOU'RE ON POINT.
NOW STANDING IN FRONT OF
THIS GREEN SCREEN IS ALSO
AN ART IN ITSELF, YOU
HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO STAND,
YOU HAVE TO PINT AT THE RIGHT
PLACE WITH THE RIGHT ARM.
YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE ILLUSION
THAT THERE ACTUALLY IS
THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST BEHIND
US. NOT THIS SLIMY GREEN.
ALRIGHT SO POINT TO MONDAY.
YEAH. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THOUGH YOU'RE STILL ON
THAT CAMERA TOO, SO YOU DON'T
WANT TO TURN YOUR BODY TOO MUCH
TOWARDS THE SLIMY WALL.
SO WHEN I'M LOOKING AT YOU IN
THE MONITOR RIGHT NOW,
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOUR
LOOKING TO THE SIDE,
IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE YOUR
POINTING TO THE TEMPERATURES,
AND THE CONDITIONS ON
THE ACTUAL MAP.
LIKE YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE SEVEN
DAY FORECAST WHERE THAT WALL IS.
OK MIKAELA. I THINK YOU'RE READY
TO REPORT THE WEATHER.
WANNA TRY?
Mikaela says YEAH!
Ross says LET'S DO IT.
Now Mikaela appears in a suit.
An assistant says MIKAELA! MIKAELA!
WAIT! WAIT WAIT!
HERE, YOUR HOT CHOCOLATE.
Mikaela says EXTRA MARSHMALLOWS?
The assistant says OF COURSE.
OH, MIKAELA, UM,
YOUR SIGNATURE.
Mikaela says WHAT IS THIS FOR?
The assistant says YOUR AUTOGRAPH.
OH. IS IT GONNA RAIN TODAY?
[WHOOSH]
Ross says WOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN A SQUIRREL
WATER-SKI BEFORE.
THAT'S PRETTY FUNNY.
IT'S TIME NOW FOR WEATHER.
MIKAELA.
Mikaela says THANKS ROSS!
HI EVERYONE,
LET'S CHECK OUT WHAT THE WEATHER
WILL BE FOR YOUR WEEKEND.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE BY THIS GREEN
AREA, WE HAVE SOME RAIN MOVING
ACROSS THE LAND. BUT, HOW DOES
THIS AFFECT YOU?
SHOULD YOU WEAR A RAINCOAT OR
BREAK OUT THE SANDALS?
WELL I'VE GOT MOSTLY GOOD NEWS.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE
AVERAGE ALL WEEKEND. SO,
FRIDAY AND SUNDAY ARE LOOKING
GOOD FOR SUN,
SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO PACK A
PICNIC.
BUT WATCH OUT FOR SATURDAY, IT
LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A
CHANCE OF RAIN.
SO IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD DAY TO
PLAY A BOARD GAME OR
WATCH A MOVIE WITH FRIENDS.
THAT'S IT FOLKS. THIS HAS BEEN
MIKAELA'S WEATHER FORECAST.
AND REMEMBER FOLKS, WHETHER THE
WEATHER'S GOOD OR
WHETHER THE WEATHER IS BAD,
DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN.
OVER AND OUT.
[WHOOSH]
Now Mikaela appears in her studio in a rain cape and holding an umbrella.
She says HUH. I GOT CAUGHT IN THE RAIN ON
THE WAY HOME.
LUCKILY, THANKS TO MY TIME AS A
METEOROLOGIST I SAW IT COMING.
BUT WOW, WHAT A JOB!
USING SCIENCE TO COMMUNICATE THE
WEATHER TO PEOPLE,
WHICH HELPS THEM PLAN FOR WHAT'S
TO COME.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE A
METEOROLOGIST SOMEDAY.
[WHOOSH]
She takes out her cape and says WELL NOW THAT I'M INSIDE THE
WEATHER DOESN'T MATTER SO MUCH.
[RAIN STORM SOUNDS]
She says I SPOKE TOO SOON. SEE YOU NEXT
TIME WHEN I TRY ANOTHER
AMAZING JOB WHILE ON MY QUEST TO
DISCOVER WHAT I'LL BE,
WHEN I GROW UP!
[THUNDER]
(music plays)
In animation, Mikaela turns the TV off as a films countdown clock appears.
[REMOTE CLICKING]
Now a new episode rolls.
Mikaela pops up in the studio and says OH. HEY, WELCOME BACK TO MY
VLOG.
THIS IS A CACAO BEAN. DO YOU
KNOW WHAT PEOPLE MAKE FROM THIS?
CHOCOLATE.
[AIRHORN]
Mikaela says I JUST CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW.
I MEAN HOW DO YOU TURN THIS BEAN
INTO CHOCOLATE?
HMMM.
[WHOOSH]
She grinds the beans with the blender and shakes her head.
[BLENDER CRUMBLES]
[SAD HORN]
She hammers the beans and shakes her head.
[HAMMER HIT]
Mikaela says NOT WORKING.
[CRASH]
Mikaela screams CHOCOLATE!
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says WELL I KNOW ONE THING. IT'S
SOMEBODY'S JOB TO TURN
THIS BEAN INTO A CHOCOLATE BAR.
AND I BET THEY GET TO DO LOTS OF
TASTING ALONG THE WAY.
IT'S TIME TO DISCOVER HOW I CAN
BE A CHOCOLATE MAKER.
WHEN I GROW UP!
(harp music plays)
She sniffs the chocolate bar and says AHHH.
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says I'M HERE TO BE A BEAN TO BAR
CHOCOLATE MAKER.
THAT MEANS IT'S THEIR BUSINESS
TO TURN THESE BEANS,
INTO THIS CHOCOLATE BAR.
AND THIS.
She pulls a sad face.
[SAD NOISE]
She says INTO THIS.
She smiles.
[HAPPY NOISE]
She says LET'S GO.
[WHOOSH]
She walks in and says MMM. IT SMELLS GOOD IN HERE.
[LASER NOISE]
She spots a basket full of chocolates and says MUST. HAVE. CHOCOLATE.
MUST. HAVE.
Samantha says HEY MIKAELA.
Samantha is in her twenties, with long straight brown hair in a low ponytail and wears glasses, jeans, a blue tank top and an unbuttoned plaid shirt.
[RATTLE NOISE]
Mikaela says HI SAMANTHA.
THIS IS SAMANTHA.
SHE'S A CHOCOLATE MAKING EXPERT.
A caption reads "Samantha. Chocolate maker."
Samantha says ARE YOU READY TO LEARN HOW TO
BECOME A CHOCOLATE MAKER?
Mikaela says WELL, I'M READY TO BECOME A
CHOCOLATE EATER.
Samantha says WELL YOU'RE IN
THE RIGHT PLACE.
TODAY I'M GONNA SHOW HOW TO
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE ALL THE WAY
FROM THE BEAN TO THE BAR.
Mikaela says LET'S GO!
Samantha says LET'S GET STARTED.
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says SO WHAT'S UP FIRST?
THE TASTING?
Samantha says NOT QUITE YET. WE HAVE TO
START AT THE BEGINNING.
SO, BEANS, LIKE THIS GROW
IN PODS, LIKE THIS.
Mikaela shakes the pot like a maraca.
[SHAKING NOISES]
Samantha says CACAO PODS GROW ON TREES
THAT ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT
TALLER THAN YOU,
LIKE THIS.
[SLIDE WHISTLE]
Samantha says THEY GROW IN AREAS AROUND THE
WORLD THAT ARE REALLY HUMID,
SO 10 DEGREES NORTH AND
SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR,
IN VERY MOUNTAINOUS
AND HUMID AREAS LIKE
JAMAICA, VENEZUELA,
BRAZIL.
Mikaela says LUCKY PODS.
In animation, Mikaela and a pod sunbathe on lounge chairs.
Samantha says FIRST, WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE HAVE GOOD BEANS.
Dressed as a detective, Mikaela looks at a bean with a magnifying glass and says AND WHAT PRECISELY MAKES A GOOD
BEAN, SAMANTHA?
Samantha says SO A GOOD BEAN IS NICE AND
BROWN ON THE INSIDE, UM,
IT'S NOT PURPLE, RED.
AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT HELPS
US FIGURE OUT IF THEY ARE GOOD
BEANS IS DOING A CUT TEST.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE 50 BEANS
AND CUT THEM IN HALF,
AND THAT WILL HELP US DETERMINE
WHETHER IT'S A GOOD SAMPLE.
SO, THIS IS WHAT WE
CALL A GUILLOTINE.
AND WE'RE GONNA CUT THESE BEANS
IN HALF AND THEN IT WILL
TELL US IF THERE IS ANY BUGS
INSIDE, IF THEY'RE A GOOD COLOUR
AND IF THEY'RE FERMENTED WELL.
PUT THIS IN. HOLD THAT.
She pushes the blade down the guillotine and says OH. CAN YOU HELP ME?
They both say 3. 2. 1.
SCRAPING NOISE]
Samantha says THERE WE GO.
Mikaela says AHH.
THAT'S WHAT WE CALL TEAMWORK
Samantha says ALRIGHT LET'S OPEN THIS UP.
Mikaela says THESE LOOK REALLY NICE.
SO THERE'S A COUPLE
THAT ARE KINDA PURPLE.
YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS ONE
IS A LITTLE PURPLE.
PURPLE BEANS, THOSE ARE A
LITTLE MORE ACIDIC.
SO THE DARKER BEANS,
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
Mikaela says KINDA LOOKS LIKE
CHOCOLATE AS WELL.
Samantha says YEAH!
SO THIS IS A REALLY
GOOD LOOKING SAMPLE.
WE'RE GONNA TURN THIS
ONE INTO CHOCOLATE.
Mikaela says REALLY?
Samantha says YEAH. BUT FIRST WE HAVE
TO ROAST THEM.
[WHITE NOISE]
A clip shows Mikaela behind at the set of "When I grow up news!"
Mikaela says WE INTERRUPT THIS EPISODE TO
BRING YOU A SPECIAL
WHEN I GROW UP REPORT.
SAMANTHA KNOWS HER CHOCOLATE.
BUT THE WORLD WANTS. NO. NEEDS
TO KNOW HOW SHE BECAME SUCH
AN EXPERT.
WE PUT TOGETHER THIS
EXTRA SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE
REPORT TO FIND OUT.
[WHOOSH]
(MIKAELA)
In animation, a comic book cover appears with the title "When they were growing up! By Mikaela!"
[PAGE FLIP]
The pages of a comic book flip.
Mikaela says WHEN SAMANTHA WAS
GROWING UP, HER PARENTS OWNED A
CHINESE RESTAURANT.
A comic book frame shows young Samantha at the restaurant and a dialogue bubble that reads "Welcome!"
Mikaela says SHE WAS ALWAYS EXPLORING NEW
FLAVOURS AND OF COURSE,
LOVED CHOCOLATE.
SECURITY IN UNIVERSITY.
THAT MEANS MAKING SURE THERE'S
ENOUGH FOOD TO GO AROUND.
Another frame shows Samantha reading a book on food security and a dialogue bubble that reads "Hmmm...Enlightening."
Mikaela says AFTER GRADUATION, SAMANTHA
STARTED MAKING COFFEE AT
A CHOCOLATE FACTORY.
AS SHE LEARNED MORE AND MORE
ABOUT CHOCOLATE,
SHE BECAME THE TASTING EXPERT.
Another frame shows Samantha tasting chocolate and a though bubble that reads "Subtle...but different!"
[TRUMPET NOISES]
Another frame shows Samantha throwing chocolate beans up in the air and a dialogue bubble that reads "I love my job!"
Mikaela says YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'LL COME
BACK TO CHOCOLATE.
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.
SAMANTHA'S STORY.
FROM BABY TO BEAN TO BAR
BUSINESS.
WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY
SCHEDULED PROGRAM.
[WHITE NOISE]
Samantha says SO AS A CHOCOLATE MAKER
AFTER WE SORT THE BEANS,
THE NEXT THING WE DO IS
WE ROAST THEM.
Mikaela says WHY DO YOU ROAST BEANS?
Samantha says WE ACTUALLY ROAST THE
BEANS FOR 3 REASONS.
THE FIRST REASON IS TO KILL ANY
BUGS OR BACTERIA THAT MIGHT
BE IN THEM.
THE SECOND REASON IS TO
HELP REMOVE THE SHELL,
THAT WE CALL THE HUSK.
THE THIRD REASON IS TO
ACTUALLY HELP DEVELOP FLAVOUR,
SO THAT'S WHEN WE START TO GET
ALL THOSE RICH CHOCOLATEY
AROMAS THAT YOU GET, THE
GOOD SMELLS OF CHOCOLATE.
WE START TO SMELL IT
WHEN WE ROAST THE BEANS.
LET'S POP THESE IN.
[POPPING NOISES]
Samantha pops the beans in the oven and says THESE ARE GONNA BE IN
HERE FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES.
Mikaela says ALRIGHT, WE'VE BEEN
WORKING PRETTY HARD AND
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR A LITTLE
BREAK.
SINCE WE'RE IN A CHOCOLATE
FACTORY,
I THINK I KNOW JUST THE THING.
Samantha and Mikaela sit and have chocolate.
[WHOOSH]
[WHOOSH]
Samantha says THE NEXT STEP OF THE PROCESS
USES THIS MACHINE HERE,
AND IT'S CALLED THE WINNOW. WE
USE THE MINNOW TO TURN THE BEANS
INTO CACAO NIBS.
Mikaela says HOW DOES IT WORK?
Samantha says WE PUT THE CACAO BEANS IN
HERE AND THEN THE WINNOW
SHAKES ALL THE BEANS LIKE
THIS, AND THE SKIN COMES OFF,
AND THE NIB THAT WE USE
TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COME OUT
IN THOSE 3 BUCKETS THERE.
IT'S A PRETTY LOUD
MACHINE.
SO YOU'RE GONNA WANT
TO PUT THESE ON.
She gives Mikaela hearing protective hearing muffs.
Samantha says READY?
Mikaela says WHAT?
Samantha says READY?
Mikaela says READY!
[MACHINE NOISE]
Samantha turns the machine on.
[MACHINE NOISE]
[WHOOSH]
Samantha says ALRIGHT SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA
GRIND SOME OUR CACAO NIBS,
SO YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THIS BUCKET
AND YOU'RE GONNA POUR IT
RIGHT INTO HERE. AND MAKE
SURE YOU DON'T GET YOUR
HANDS INSIDE CAUSE IT'S
GOT SOME SHARP BLADES.
HERE YOU GO.
[GRINDING NOISES]
Mikaela pours the nibs in the grinder.
I'M MAKING CHOCOLATE!
[GRINDING NOISES]
The nibs turn into a chocolate paste.
Samantha says WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
Mikaela says IT'S AWESOME!
[WHOOSH]
Samantha says WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE
BIT OF TASTING NOW,
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
PARTS OF MY JOB AS A
CHOCOLATE MAKER, IS SIT AND
TASTE EACH OF THE
DIFFERENT STAGES, AS
WE MAKE THE CHOCOLATE.
In animation, Mikaela tastes the chocolate falling of a chocolate fountain.
[POURING NOISE]
[SLIDE WHISTLE]
Samantha says SO WE HAVE THE
CACAO BEANS EARLIER,
THEY GET CRUSHED AND
WINNOWED IN THE CACAO NIBS.
LET'S START WITH THE NIBS.
THESE ARE THE CACAO NIBS.
WHAT DO YOU TASTE?
Mikaela says SOUR, MILKY, COFFEE.
Samantha says SO THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO KEEP
PROCESSING, WE MIGHT ADD
A LITTLE BIT OF SUGAR OR
ADD A LITTLE BIT OF MILK,
TO HELP, YOU KNOW, SMOOTH THE
TASTE OVER A LITTLE BIT.
SO THIS IS LIQUID CHOCOLATE.
(COUGH)
Mikaela tastes it and says IT TASTES EVEN WORSE.
Samantha says THAT DOES HAPPEN TOO.
CACAO IS A FRUIT,
SO THERE'S A LOT OF ACID
INSIDE THE FRUIT,
AND WHEN WE PROCESS IT,
WHEN WE GRIND IT DOWN TO THIS,
IT ACTUALLY SOMETIMES
LETS ALL THE ACID OUT,
SO YOU CAN TASTE IT
IN YOUR MOUTH.
SO NEXT WE'LL TASTE SOME
HOPEFULLY GOOD TASTING
CHOCOLATE.
THIS ONE COMES FROM THE
MOUNTAINS IN COLUMBIA.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU
TASTE ONE OF THESE BARS,
IS PICK IT UP BETWEEN
YOUR FINGERS,
BRING IT UP TO YOUR
NOSE, SMELL IT,
AND IT OPENS UP ALL YOUR SENSES.
SO YOUR NOSE, YOUR TASTEBUDS,
YOUR GONNA START TASTING IT
BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY GET TO IT.
Mikaela says MMM.
NOW WHAT?
Samantha says YOU'RE GONNA HOLD IT UP BY YOUR
EAR. GIVE IT A NICE CLEAN SNAP.
[SNAP]
Mikaela says YES. SNAPPY.
Samantha says THEN YOU'RE GONNA PUT IT ON
YOUR TONGUE. LET IT MELT.
Mikaela says MMM.
NOW THAT'S CHOCOLATE.
IT'S INTERESTING HOW CHOCOLATE
DOESN'T TASTE GOOD
FOR MOST OF THE PROCESS.
Samantha says SO YOU WANNA TASTE
THEM ALL AGAIN?
Mikaela says UHH. WHAT'S THAT?
As Samantha turns to look, Mikaela runs off.
[SLIPPING NOISE]
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says AS A CHOCOLATE MAKER, I'VE
HELPED TURN A BEAN INTO A NIB.
A PASTE INTO PERFECTLY TEMPERED
CHOCOLATE.
BUT IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S ONE
MORE THING LEFT TO DO.
BEAN TO...
Samantha says BEAN TO BAR.
BEAN TO BAR.
Samantha whispers BEAN TO BAR.
[DING] [DING] [DING]
Mikaela says RIGHT. BAR!
[MACHINE NOISES]
Mikaela looks at the process of bar making and says AHHHH.
IT'S VIBRATING SO THAT THE
CHOCOLATE EVENS OUT.
IT'S PRETTY COOL.
She cracks her knuckles and starts adding crushed peanuts to the bars.
[MACHINE NOISES]
[MACHINE NOISES]
Mikaela says BEING A CHOCOLATE MAKER IS SO
MUCH FUN!
[WHOOSH]
Back in her studio, WHAT A COOL JOB! YOU GET TO TURN
A CACAO BEAN INTO
A CHOCOLATE BAR, THAT MAKES TONS
OF PEOPLE HAPPY.
AND YOU GET TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
LIKE HOW TO MAKE A
BETTER TASTING CHOCOLATE.
NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I'M
WORKING ON A NEW METHOD.
IT'S CALLED BEAN TO BAR TO
MOUTH.
She takes a bite off a chocolate bar and says I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A CHOCOLATE
MAKER.
OR ONE OF THE OTHER INFINITELY
SWEET JOBS OUT THERE.
WHEN I GROW UP!

She says MY NAME'S MIKAELA, AND SINCE
I CAN REMEMBER,
I'VE DREAMT ABOUT WHAT I'LL BE
WHEN I GROW UP!
THERE ARE SO MANY COOL JOBS,
SO I DECIDED TO TRY THEM ALL.
In animation, gear from different jobs appears on her: an astronaut's helmet, a construction worker's vest and helmet, a chef's hat and apron, and a police officer's hat and badge.
She says I BUILT AN AWESOME STUDIO IN
MY GARAGE,
SO I CAN MAKE AND SHARE VIDEOS
ABOUT MY JOURNEY.
She pops up in her garage. The place has a multi-coloured tile floor, hangers with different uniforms, a bike, a desk, and a colourful back wall with a graffiti that reads "When I grow up!"
She says IT'S ALL ABOUT DISCOVERING
WHAT I'LL BE
WHEN I GROW UP!
The name of the show appears in purple surrounded by colourful silhouettes of different animals and shapes. It reads "When I grow up."
A film countdown clocks appears.
In her studio, Mikaela says HEY GANG, IT'S ME MIKAELA!
I'M TAKING A LITTLE BREAK FROM
TRYING OUT DIFFERENT JOBS TO GET
SOME WELL DESERVED SUN.
TIME TO HIT THE BEACH.
(WIND NOISES)
Self-hugging, he walks back in the studio and says IT WAS A LITTLE COLDER THAN I
THOUGHT. GOING TO GET WARM.
Wrapped in a blanket and holding a hot beverage, she says AHH. MUCH BETTER.
I GUESS I SHOULD'VE CHECKED THE
WEATHER FORECAST, NORMALLY I DO.
THE PEOPLE THAT DO THOSE REPORTS
ARE CALLED METEOROLOGISTS,
AND IT LOOKS LIKE A REALLY FUN
JOB!
YOU GET TO PREDICT THE WEATHER,
WHICH HELPS PEOPLE PLAN THEIR
LIVES.
I'M GOING TO BE A METEOROLOGIST
FOR THE DAY,
SO I CAN PREDICT THE WEATHER.
WHEN I GROW UP!
She unwraps herself.
(WIND NOISES)
She wraps herself back with the blanket.
[WHOOSH]
A slate appears with the caption "When I grow up!"
Wearing a winter coat, Mikaela appears on the street and says LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT THE WEATHER
WRONG AGAIN!
She takes the coat off and says THAT'S OK BECAUSE RIGHT BEHIND
ME IS GLOBAL NEWS,
WHERE A REAL METEOROLOGIST IS
GOING TO SHOW ME
HOW TO PREDICT THE WEATHER!
[WHOOSH]
She walks in the building.
Ross says HI THERE MIKAELA.
Ross is in his thirties, with short straight brown hair and a beard. He wears blue trousers, a gingham blue shirt and a gray tie.
Mikaela says HI ROSS.
A caption reads "Ross. Meteorologist."
Mikaela says ROSS IS A
METEOROLOGIST HERE.
ROSS DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WEATHER FORECAST IS LOOKING
LIKE FOR TOMORROW?
Ross says LET'S GO IN AND FIND OUT.
Mikaela says SURE!
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says ROSS WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PART
ABOUT BEING A METEOROLOGIST?
Ross says WELL MIKAELA, IT
NEVER GETS BORING,
THE WEATHER'S ALWAYS
CHANGING RIGHT?
AND I GET TO WORK WITH ALL THESE
TALENTED WRITERS AND PRODUCERS
HERE AT GLOBAL,
WITHOUT THEM THE NEWSCAST
WOULDN'T GET ON THE AIR.
Mikaela says TRUE. COOL!
Ross says OK MIKAELA FOLLOW ME.
THIS IS THE WEATHER CENTRE.
(harp music plays)
Mikaela says WOAH.
SO WHAT'S THE FIRST STEP WHEN
PREDICTING THE WEATHER?
Ross says WELL THE FIRST THING YOU WANT TO
DO IS SORTA LIKE TAKING A
SNAPSHOT OR A SCREEN GRAB ON A
SMARTPHONE.
IT SHOWS YOU WHAT'S BEEN
HAPPENING OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS
AND ALSO WHAT'S HAPPENING
CURRENTLY WITH THE ATMOSPHERE.
Mikaela says LET ME TRY.
She licks her finger and puts it up.
Mikaela says ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS
IT'S EXACTLY...
[LOUD RUMBLE]
Mikaela says ROOM TEMPERATURE!
(LAUGH)
Ross does the same and says I ALSO DO THAT SOMETIMES,
BUT WE ALSO USE PRETTY HIGH TECH
EQUIPMENT TO SEE WHAT THE
ATMOSPHERE IS DOING RIGHT NOW
AND ALSO MOVING FORWARD, SO ONE
OF THE TOOLS THAT WE USE
IS BASICALLY A SATELLITE THAT'S
IN SPACE MONITORING THE
WEATHER ON THE GROUND
AND IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
In animation, Mikaela waves at a satellite.
[SPACESHIP SOUND]
Ross says AND WE ALSO LOOK AT STUFF LIKE
THERMOMETERS ON THE GROUND
THAT CAN GIVES US
READINGS, TEMPERATURES,
THERE'S ALSO ANEMOMETERS
THAT GIVE US THE WIND,
SO ALL OF THIS COMES TOGETHER
AND LETS US NOW WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH THE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.
[WHITE NOISE]
Forecaster Mikaela says GREAT JOB MIKAELA.
TODAY'S WHEN I GROW UP FORECAST
IS LOOKING AT A 90 PERCENT
CHANCE OF FUN MOVING IN THE
NORTHEAST,
AND WITH ALL THAT FUN YOU CAN
GET BET WE'LL LEARN ABOUT HOW
OUR FRIEND ROSS BECAME A
METEOROLOGIST.
[WHOOSH]
In animation, a comic book cover appears with the title "When they were growing up! By Mikaela!"
[PAGE FLIP]
The pages of a comic book flip.
(MIKAELA)
ROSS WAS AN ACTOR WHEN
HE WAS GROWING UP
AND GOT TO ACT IN SOME COOL
SHOWS!
BUT HE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR
BROADCAST NEWS AND WEATHER.
A frame shows young Ross leaning on a TV and a dialogue bubble popping out of the screen that reads "The news at six!"
Mikaela says SO IN UNIVERSITY, HE TOOK
A RADIO AND TELEVISION ARTS PROGRAM.
IN HIS FINAL YEAR, HE GOT A JOB AT A WEATHER NETWORK.
A frame shows Ross looking at satellite images in his computer and a thought bubble that reads "Looks like rain!"
[COMPUTER NOISES]
Mikaela says AND ROSS WAS INSPIRED
TO SCHOOL TO STUDY METEOROLOGY.
ONCE HE FINISHED, HE GOT A JOB
AS A WEATHER FORECASTER
EVER SINCE.
Another frame shows Ross forecasting and a thought bubble that reads "I love my job!"
[WHOOSH]
Forecaster Mikaela says WELL LOOKS LIKE YOU SHOULD BREAK
OUT THE SUN SCREEN
BECAUSE THE FORECAST FOR ROSS IS
BRIGHT AND FULL OF SUNSHINE.
NOW HERE'S MIKAELA WITH SPORTS.
[WHITE NOISE]
Newscaster Mikaela says ALRIGHT SPORTS FANS, IT WAS A
WILD WEEKEND.
THE WORLD SERIES OF ROCK, PAPER,
SCISSORS WAS ALL IT WAS
CRACKED UP TO BE.
I. WAIT...
OOPS. LOOK LIKE I GOT CARRIED
AWAY. WAIT UP ROSS!
[WHOOSH]
Ross and Mikaela walk outside the building.
Ross says SOMETIMES METEOROLOGISTS
CAN COME OUTSIDE
AND TAKE IN THE FRESH AIR, AND
ALSO SEE IF THE OBSERVATIONS
WE WERE MAKING INSIDE,
ARE HAPPENING OUTSIDE.
Mikaela says AHH.
HOW DO YOU VERIFY
THE WEATHER?
Ross says WELL ONE OF THE TOOLS
WE USE IS THIS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
Mikaela says A THERMOMETER.
Ross says VERY GOOD! JUST LIKE THE
ONE YOU USE AT HOME.
NOW DO YOU KNOW
HOW TO READ ONE?
Mikaela says YES.
IT'S 10 DEGREES CELSIUS.
Ross says AND SOMETHING ELSE WE USE,
LOOKING AT THE CLOUDS.
Mikaela says I CAN DO THIS ONE. THAT ONE
LOOKS LIKE A DOG [DOG BARK],
AND THAT ONE LOOKS
LIKE A PIG [PIG NOISE].
OH WAIT.
NOW THAT ONE THAT LOOKED
LIKE A DOG LOOKS LIKE A PIG.
AND THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A
PIG, NOW LOOKS LIKE A CHICKEN.
[CHICKEN CLUCK]
Ross says WELL BESIDES TRYING TO DECIDE
WHAT ANIMAL THE CLOUDS LOOK LIKE
WE ALSO LOOK AT CLOUDS TO
DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S GOING
TO RAIN, WE CAN ALSO
TELL IT'S WIND DIRECTION.
Mikaela says HEY! AN ALLIGATOR!
Ross says OH YEAH.
[WHOOSH]
Fortune teller Mikaela says NOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE
WEATHER IS LIKE RIGHT NOW,
IT'S TIME TO PREDICT WHAT IT
WILL BE LIKE LATER ON.
SO I HAVE MY CRYSTAL BALL TO SEE
INTO THE FUTURE.
I SEE. I SEE. I SEE!
NOTHING.
OH WELL. LET'S SEE HOW ROSS USES
TECHNOLOGY TO
PREDICT THE WEATHER.
[WHOOSH]
Ross says SO NOW THAT WE HAVE A HOLD ON
THE CURRENT CONDITIONS,
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
A LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH THE WEATHER,
SAY TOMORROW OR
EVEN INTO THE WEEKEND
AND NEXT WEEK.
Mikaela crosses her fingers and says PLEASE BE SUNNY! PLEASE BE
SUNNY! PLEASE BE SUNNY!
[DRUM ROLL]
A clip shows Mikaela crossing her fingers and making dark clouds move away.
[SHINING SOUND]
Ross says WELL BESIDES BEGGING MOTHER
NATURE THERE ARE OTHER WAYS
WE LOOK AT THE WEATHER
CONDITIONS, TOMORROW,
EVEN FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS,
EVEN SOME MODELS CAN SHOW US
MONTHS FROM NOW, THEY'RE
COMPUTER MODELS.
BUT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
THESE MODELS ARE JUST A SCENARIO
A POSSIBLE SCENARIO OF WHAT
COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
NO ONE MODEL IS GOING TO
HAVE THE PERFECT EQUATION,
OR THE PERFECT ANSWER.
NOW AS METEOROLOGISTS, AS
HUMANS, WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH
WEATHER MODEL IS HANDLING
THE SITUATION THE BEST.
SO IT'S BASICALLY A
COMPLEX PUZZLE THAT WE PUT
TOGETHER EVERYDAY.
Mikaela says CAN WE TAKE A LOOK
AT THE PUZZLE?
Ross says ALRIGHT SO,
PART OF THE PUZZLE
IS KNOWING WHEN IT'S
GOING TO RAIN.
He shows Mikaela satellite images and says YOU CAN SEE IT SHOWING SOME RAIN
MOVING IN BY THE WEEKEND.
AND YOU KNOW THE WEEKEND IS A
PRETTY IMPORTANT TIME FOR
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE OFF WORK.
SOME OF THESE MODELS ARE
SHOWING THE RAIN MOVING IN
EARLIER, LATER.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DECIDE,
WILL IT ACTUALLY RAIN
THIS WEEKEND.
Mikaela says SO ONCE YOU'VE MADE YOU
DECISION, THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?
Ross says WELL, WE'VE GOT TO PUT THE
WEATHER STORY INTO GRAPHICS
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE
STANDING IN FRONT OF WHEN YOU
DELIVER YOUR
WEATHER FORECAST.
THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE
WEATHER STORY IN YOUR HEAD
TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF,
THERE'S NO SCRIPT USUALLY WHEN
YOUR DOING A WEATHER FORECAST.
Mikaela says ROSS I'M READY TO
REPORT THE WEATHER.
Ross says LET'S DO IT!
Mikaela bumps her fist on Ross' open hand and says TURKEY.
(LAUGH)
[WHOOSH]
They walk on a room with a big screen.
Ross says SO THIS IS WHERE ALL THE
WEATHER MAGIC HAPPENS..
Mikaela says IT'S SO... IT'S SO...
GREEN.
Ross says AND THERE'S A REASON
THAT IT'S GREEN.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CAMERA,
COMPUTERS TURN THIS
SLIMY GREEN COLOUR INTO THE
WEATHER GRAPHICS THAT WE
BUILT EARLIER.
Mikaela says THAT'S ME?
ON THE MAP?
WHAT IF I WORE
GREEN TODAY?
Ross says I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU WEAR ALL GREEN.
He covers Mikaela's body from the neck down with a green cape. Her body disappears from the map.
Mikaela says WOAH.
Ross says WHERE'S MIKAELA'S BODY?
IT'S A FLOATING HEAD.
Mikaela says LOOK MOM NO HANDS.
She covers Ross with the cape and says AND NOW... ROSS IS GONE.
Ross says WHERE DID I GO?
WHERE AM I?
OH I'M BACK.
(LAUGH)
Ross says THIS WEATHER CLICKER. FOR
METEOROLOGISTS IT'S LIKE
THEIR BEST FRIEND. YOU
PRESS THIS GREEN BUTTON,
AND IT MOVES THE MAP.
SO WATCH THIS.
I'M GONNA PRESS IT AND YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE THE MAPS MOVING.
NEXT THREE DAYS.
Mikaela says WOAH!
Ross says AND THEN I'M GONNA
PRESS IT AGAIN,
AND I CAN GIVE YOU THE
NEXT SEVEN DAYS
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says WOAH!
THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST.
Ross says SO, GIVE IT A TRY,
Mikaela says DRUM ROLL PLEASE.
[DRUM ROLL]
Mikaela says TA-DAAA!
THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS
LIKE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
COOL!
Ross says OK, NOW IT'S TIME TO GIVE YOU
SOME POINTERS ON HOW TO POINT.
Mikaela says OH! SOME POINTER POINTERS.
Ross says YOU'RE ON POINT.
NOW STANDING IN FRONT OF
THIS GREEN SCREEN IS ALSO
AN ART IN ITSELF, YOU
HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO STAND,
YOU HAVE TO PINT AT THE RIGHT
PLACE WITH THE RIGHT ARM.
YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE ILLUSION
THAT THERE ACTUALLY IS
THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST BEHIND
US. NOT THIS SLIMY GREEN.
ALRIGHT SO POINT TO MONDAY.
YEAH. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THOUGH YOU'RE STILL ON
THAT CAMERA TOO, SO YOU DON'T
WANT TO TURN YOUR BODY TOO MUCH
TOWARDS THE SLIMY WALL.
SO WHEN I'M LOOKING AT YOU IN
THE MONITOR RIGHT NOW,
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOUR
LOOKING TO THE SIDE,
IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE YOUR
POINTING TO THE TEMPERATURES,
AND THE CONDITIONS ON
THE ACTUAL MAP.
LIKE YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE SEVEN
DAY FORECAST WHERE THAT WALL IS.
OK MIKAELA. I THINK YOU'RE READY
TO REPORT THE WEATHER.
WANNA TRY?
Mikaela says YEAH!
Ross says LET'S DO IT.
Now Mikaela appears in a suit.
An assistant says MIKAELA! MIKAELA!
WAIT! WAIT WAIT!
HERE, YOUR HOT CHOCOLATE.
Mikaela says EXTRA MARSHMALLOWS?
The assistant says OF COURSE.
OH, MIKAELA, UM,
YOUR SIGNATURE.
Mikaela says WHAT IS THIS FOR?
The assistant says YOUR AUTOGRAPH.
OH. IS IT GONNA RAIN TODAY?
[WHOOSH]
Ross says WOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN A SQUIRREL
WATER-SKI BEFORE.
THAT'S PRETTY FUNNY.
IT'S TIME NOW FOR WEATHER.
MIKAELA.
Mikaela says THANKS ROSS!
HI EVERYONE,
LET'S CHECK OUT WHAT THE WEATHER
WILL BE FOR YOUR WEEKEND.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE BY THIS GREEN
AREA, WE HAVE SOME RAIN MOVING
ACROSS THE LAND. BUT, HOW DOES
THIS AFFECT YOU?
SHOULD YOU WEAR A RAINCOAT OR
BREAK OUT THE SANDALS?
WELL I'VE GOT MOSTLY GOOD NEWS.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE
AVERAGE ALL WEEKEND. SO,
FRIDAY AND SUNDAY ARE LOOKING
GOOD FOR SUN,
SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO PACK A
PICNIC.
BUT WATCH OUT FOR SATURDAY, IT
LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A
CHANCE OF RAIN.
SO IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD DAY TO
PLAY A BOARD GAME OR
WATCH A MOVIE WITH FRIENDS.
THAT'S IT FOLKS. THIS HAS BEEN
MIKAELA'S WEATHER FORECAST.
AND REMEMBER FOLKS, WHETHER THE
WEATHER'S GOOD OR
WHETHER THE WEATHER IS BAD,
DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN.
OVER AND OUT.
[WHOOSH]
Now Mikaela appears in her studio in a rain cape and holding an umbrella.
She says HUH. I GOT CAUGHT IN THE RAIN ON
THE WAY HOME.
LUCKILY, THANKS TO MY TIME AS A
METEOROLOGIST I SAW IT COMING.
BUT WOW, WHAT A JOB!
USING SCIENCE TO COMMUNICATE THE
WEATHER TO PEOPLE,
WHICH HELPS THEM PLAN FOR WHAT'S
TO COME.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE A
METEOROLOGIST SOMEDAY.
[WHOOSH]
She takes out her cape and says WELL NOW THAT I'M INSIDE THE
WEATHER DOESN'T MATTER SO MUCH.
[RAIN STORM SOUNDS]
She says I SPOKE TOO SOON. SEE YOU NEXT
TIME WHEN I TRY ANOTHER
AMAZING JOB WHILE ON MY QUEST TO
DISCOVER WHAT I'LL BE,
WHEN I GROW UP!
[THUNDER]
(music plays)
In animation, Mikaela turns the TV off as a films countdown clock appears.
[REMOTE CLICKING]
Now a new episode rolls.
Mikaela pops up in the studio and says OH. HEY, WELCOME BACK TO MY
VLOG.
THIS IS A CACAO BEAN. DO YOU
KNOW WHAT PEOPLE MAKE FROM THIS?
CHOCOLATE.
[AIRHORN]
Mikaela says I JUST CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW.
I MEAN HOW DO YOU TURN THIS BEAN
INTO CHOCOLATE?
HMMM.
[WHOOSH]
She grinds the beans with the blender and shakes her head.
[BLENDER CRUMBLES]
[SAD HORN]
She hammers the beans and shakes her head.
[HAMMER HIT]
Mikaela says NOT WORKING.
[CRASH]
Mikaela screams CHOCOLATE!
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says WELL I KNOW ONE THING. IT'S
SOMEBODY'S JOB TO TURN
THIS BEAN INTO A CHOCOLATE BAR.
AND I BET THEY GET TO DO LOTS OF
TASTING ALONG THE WAY.
IT'S TIME TO DISCOVER HOW I CAN
BE A CHOCOLATE MAKER.
WHEN I GROW UP!
(harp music plays)
She sniffs the chocolate bar and says AHHH.
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says I'M HERE TO BE A BEAN TO BAR
CHOCOLATE MAKER.
THAT MEANS IT'S THEIR BUSINESS
TO TURN THESE BEANS,
INTO THIS CHOCOLATE BAR.
AND THIS.
She pulls a sad face.
[SAD NOISE]
She says INTO THIS.
She smiles.
[HAPPY NOISE]
She says LET'S GO.
[WHOOSH]
She walks in and says MMM. IT SMELLS GOOD IN HERE.
[LASER NOISE]
She spots a basket full of chocolates and says MUST. HAVE. CHOCOLATE.
MUST. HAVE.
Samantha says HEY MIKAELA.
Samantha is in her twenties, with long straight brown hair in a low ponytail and wears glasses, jeans, a blue tank top and an unbuttoned plaid shirt.
[RATTLE NOISE]
Mikaela says HI SAMANTHA.
THIS IS SAMANTHA.
SHE'S A CHOCOLATE MAKING EXPERT.
A caption reads "Samantha. Chocolate maker."
Samantha says ARE YOU READY TO LEARN HOW TO
BECOME A CHOCOLATE MAKER?
Mikaela says WELL, I'M READY TO BECOME A
CHOCOLATE EATER.
Samantha says WELL YOU'RE IN
THE RIGHT PLACE.
TODAY I'M GONNA SHOW HOW TO
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE ALL THE WAY
FROM THE BEAN TO THE BAR.
Mikaela says LET'S GO!
Samantha says LET'S GET STARTED.
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says SO WHAT'S UP FIRST?
THE TASTING?
Samantha says NOT QUITE YET. WE HAVE TO
START AT THE BEGINNING.
SO, BEANS, LIKE THIS GROW
IN PODS, LIKE THIS.
Mikaela shakes the pot like a maraca.
[SHAKING NOISES]
Samantha says CACAO PODS GROW ON TREES
THAT ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT
TALLER THAN YOU,
LIKE THIS.
[SLIDE WHISTLE]
Samantha says THEY GROW IN AREAS AROUND THE
WORLD THAT ARE REALLY HUMID,
SO 10 DEGREES NORTH AND
SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR,
IN VERY MOUNTAINOUS
AND HUMID AREAS LIKE
JAMAICA, VENEZUELA,
BRAZIL.
Mikaela says LUCKY PODS.
In animation, Mikaela and a pod sunbathe on lounge chairs.
Samantha says FIRST, WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE HAVE GOOD BEANS.
Dressed as a detective, Mikaela looks at a bean with a magnifying glass and says AND WHAT PRECISELY MAKES A GOOD
BEAN, SAMANTHA?
Samantha says SO A GOOD BEAN IS NICE AND
BROWN ON THE INSIDE, UM,
IT'S NOT PURPLE, RED.
AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT HELPS
US FIGURE OUT IF THEY ARE GOOD
BEANS IS DOING A CUT TEST.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE 50 BEANS
AND CUT THEM IN HALF,
AND THAT WILL HELP US DETERMINE
WHETHER IT'S A GOOD SAMPLE.
SO, THIS IS WHAT WE
CALL A GUILLOTINE.
AND WE'RE GONNA CUT THESE BEANS
IN HALF AND THEN IT WILL
TELL US IF THERE IS ANY BUGS
INSIDE, IF THEY'RE A GOOD COLOUR
AND IF THEY'RE FERMENTED WELL.
PUT THIS IN. HOLD THAT.
She pushes the blade down the guillotine and says OH. CAN YOU HELP ME?
They both say 3. 2. 1.
SCRAPING NOISE]
Samantha says THERE WE GO.
Mikaela says AHH.
THAT'S WHAT WE CALL TEAMWORK
Samantha says ALRIGHT LET'S OPEN THIS UP.
Mikaela says THESE LOOK REALLY NICE.
SO THERE'S A COUPLE
THAT ARE KINDA PURPLE.
YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS ONE
IS A LITTLE PURPLE.
PURPLE BEANS, THOSE ARE A
LITTLE MORE ACIDIC.
SO THE DARKER BEANS,
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
Mikaela says KINDA LOOKS LIKE
CHOCOLATE AS WELL.
Samantha says YEAH!
SO THIS IS A REALLY
GOOD LOOKING SAMPLE.
WE'RE GONNA TURN THIS
ONE INTO CHOCOLATE.
Mikaela says REALLY?
Samantha says YEAH. BUT FIRST WE HAVE
TO ROAST THEM.
[WHITE NOISE]
A clip shows Mikaela behind at the set of "When I grow up news!"
Mikaela says WE INTERRUPT THIS EPISODE TO
BRING YOU A SPECIAL
WHEN I GROW UP REPORT.
SAMANTHA KNOWS HER CHOCOLATE.
BUT THE WORLD WANTS. NO. NEEDS
TO KNOW HOW SHE BECAME SUCH
AN EXPERT.
WE PUT TOGETHER THIS
EXTRA SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE
REPORT TO FIND OUT.
[WHOOSH]
(MIKAELA)
In animation, a comic book cover appears with the title "When they were growing up! By Mikaela!"
[PAGE FLIP]
The pages of a comic book flip.
Mikaela says WHEN SAMANTHA WAS
GROWING UP, HER PARENTS OWNED A
CHINESE RESTAURANT.
A comic book frame shows young Samantha at the restaurant and a dialogue bubble that reads "Welcome!"
Mikaela says SHE WAS ALWAYS EXPLORING NEW
FLAVOURS AND OF COURSE,
LOVED CHOCOLATE.
SECURITY IN UNIVERSITY.
THAT MEANS MAKING SURE THERE'S
ENOUGH FOOD TO GO AROUND.
Another frame shows Samantha reading a book on food security and a dialogue bubble that reads "Hmmm...Enlightening."
Mikaela says AFTER GRADUATION, SAMANTHA
STARTED MAKING COFFEE AT
A CHOCOLATE FACTORY.
AS SHE LEARNED MORE AND MORE
ABOUT CHOCOLATE,
SHE BECAME THE TASTING EXPERT.
Another frame shows Samantha tasting chocolate and a though bubble that reads "Subtle...but different!"
[TRUMPET NOISES]
Another frame shows Samantha throwing chocolate beans up in the air and a dialogue bubble that reads "I love my job!"
Mikaela says YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'LL COME
BACK TO CHOCOLATE.
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.
SAMANTHA'S STORY.
FROM BABY TO BEAN TO BAR
BUSINESS.
WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY
SCHEDULED PROGRAM.
[WHITE NOISE]
Samantha says SO AS A CHOCOLATE MAKER
AFTER WE SORT THE BEANS,
THE NEXT THING WE DO IS
WE ROAST THEM.
Mikaela says WHY DO YOU ROAST BEANS?
Samantha says WE ACTUALLY ROAST THE
BEANS FOR 3 REASONS.
THE FIRST REASON IS TO KILL ANY
BUGS OR BACTERIA THAT MIGHT
BE IN THEM.
THE SECOND REASON IS TO
HELP REMOVE THE SHELL,
THAT WE CALL THE HUSK.
THE THIRD REASON IS TO
ACTUALLY HELP DEVELOP FLAVOUR,
SO THAT'S WHEN WE START TO GET
ALL THOSE RICH CHOCOLATEY
AROMAS THAT YOU GET, THE
GOOD SMELLS OF CHOCOLATE.
WE START TO SMELL IT
WHEN WE ROAST THE BEANS.
LET'S POP THESE IN.
[POPPING NOISES]
Samantha pops the beans in the oven and says THESE ARE GONNA BE IN
HERE FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES.
Mikaela says ALRIGHT, WE'VE BEEN
WORKING PRETTY HARD AND
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR A LITTLE
BREAK.
SINCE WE'RE IN A CHOCOLATE
FACTORY,
I THINK I KNOW JUST THE THING.
Samantha and Mikaela sit and have chocolate.
[WHOOSH]
[WHOOSH]
Samantha says THE NEXT STEP OF THE PROCESS
USES THIS MACHINE HERE,
AND IT'S CALLED THE WINNOW. WE
USE THE MINNOW TO TURN THE BEANS
INTO CACAO NIBS.
Mikaela says HOW DOES IT WORK?
Samantha says WE PUT THE CACAO BEANS IN
HERE AND THEN THE WINNOW
SHAKES ALL THE BEANS LIKE
THIS, AND THE SKIN COMES OFF,
AND THE NIB THAT WE USE
TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COME OUT
IN THOSE 3 BUCKETS THERE.
IT'S A PRETTY LOUD
MACHINE.
SO YOU'RE GONNA WANT
TO PUT THESE ON.
She gives Mikaela hearing protective hearing muffs.
Samantha says READY?
Mikaela says WHAT?
Samantha says READY?
Mikaela says READY!
[MACHINE NOISE]
Samantha turns the machine on.
[MACHINE NOISE]
[WHOOSH]
Samantha says ALRIGHT SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA
GRIND SOME OUR CACAO NIBS,
SO YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THIS BUCKET
AND YOU'RE GONNA POUR IT
RIGHT INTO HERE. AND MAKE
SURE YOU DON'T GET YOUR
HANDS INSIDE CAUSE IT'S
GOT SOME SHARP BLADES.
HERE YOU GO.
[GRINDING NOISES]
Mikaela pours the nibs in the grinder.
I'M MAKING CHOCOLATE!
[GRINDING NOISES]
The nibs turn into a chocolate paste.
Samantha says WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
Mikaela says IT'S AWESOME!
[WHOOSH]
Samantha says WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE
BIT OF TASTING NOW,
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
PARTS OF MY JOB AS A
CHOCOLATE MAKER, IS SIT AND
TASTE EACH OF THE
DIFFERENT STAGES, AS
WE MAKE THE CHOCOLATE.
In animation, Mikaela tastes the chocolate falling of a chocolate fountain.
[POURING NOISE]
[SLIDE WHISTLE]
Samantha says SO WE HAVE THE
CACAO BEANS EARLIER,
THEY GET CRUSHED AND
WINNOWED IN THE CACAO NIBS.
LET'S START WITH THE NIBS.
THESE ARE THE CACAO NIBS.
WHAT DO YOU TASTE?
Mikaela says SOUR, MILKY, COFFEE.
Samantha says SO THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO KEEP
PROCESSING, WE MIGHT ADD
A LITTLE BIT OF SUGAR OR
ADD A LITTLE BIT OF MILK,
TO HELP, YOU KNOW, SMOOTH THE
TASTE OVER A LITTLE BIT.
SO THIS IS LIQUID CHOCOLATE.
(COUGH)
Mikaela tastes it and says IT TASTES EVEN WORSE.
Samantha says THAT DOES HAPPEN TOO.
CACAO IS A FRUIT,
SO THERE'S A LOT OF ACID
INSIDE THE FRUIT,
AND WHEN WE PROCESS IT,
WHEN WE GRIND IT DOWN TO THIS,
IT ACTUALLY SOMETIMES
LETS ALL THE ACID OUT,
SO YOU CAN TASTE IT
IN YOUR MOUTH.
SO NEXT WE'LL TASTE SOME
HOPEFULLY GOOD TASTING
CHOCOLATE.
THIS ONE COMES FROM THE
MOUNTAINS IN COLUMBIA.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU
TASTE ONE OF THESE BARS,
IS PICK IT UP BETWEEN
YOUR FINGERS,
BRING IT UP TO YOUR
NOSE, SMELL IT,
AND IT OPENS UP ALL YOUR SENSES.
SO YOUR NOSE, YOUR TASTEBUDS,
YOUR GONNA START TASTING IT
BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY GET TO IT.
Mikaela says MMM.
NOW WHAT?
Samantha says YOU'RE GONNA HOLD IT UP BY YOUR
EAR. GIVE IT A NICE CLEAN SNAP.
[SNAP]
Mikaela says YES. SNAPPY.
Samantha says THEN YOU'RE GONNA PUT IT ON
YOUR TONGUE. LET IT MELT.
Mikaela says MMM.
NOW THAT'S CHOCOLATE.
IT'S INTERESTING HOW CHOCOLATE
DOESN'T TASTE GOOD
FOR MOST OF THE PROCESS.
Samantha says SO YOU WANNA TASTE
THEM ALL AGAIN?
Mikaela says UHH. WHAT'S THAT?
As Samantha turns to look, Mikaela runs off.
[SLIPPING NOISE]
[WHOOSH]
Mikaela says AS A CHOCOLATE MAKER, I'VE
HELPED TURN A BEAN INTO A NIB.
A PASTE INTO PERFECTLY TEMPERED
CHOCOLATE.
BUT IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S ONE
MORE THING LEFT TO DO.
BEAN TO...
Samantha says BEAN TO BAR.
BEAN TO BAR.
Samantha whispers BEAN TO BAR.
[DING] [DING] [DING]
Mikaela says RIGHT. BAR!
[MACHINE NOISES]
Mikaela looks at the process of bar making and says AHHHH.
IT'S VIBRATING SO THAT THE
CHOCOLATE EVENS OUT.
IT'S PRETTY COOL.
She cracks her knuckles and starts adding crushed peanuts to the bars.
[MACHINE NOISES]
[MACHINE NOISES]
Mikaela says BEING A CHOCOLATE MAKER IS SO
MUCH FUN!
[WHOOSH]
Back in her studio, WHAT A COOL JOB! YOU GET TO TURN
A CACAO BEAN INTO
A CHOCOLATE BAR, THAT MAKES TONS
OF PEOPLE HAPPY.
AND YOU GET TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
LIKE HOW TO MAKE A
BETTER TASTING CHOCOLATE.
NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I'M
WORKING ON A NEW METHOD.
IT'S CALLED BEAN TO BAR TO
MOUTH.
She takes a bite off a chocolate bar and says I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A CHOCOLATE
MAKER.
OR ONE OF THE OTHER INFINITELY
SWEET JOBS OUT THERE.
WHEN I GROW UP!
