hey guys this is Austin over the years we spend a lot of time trying to make our videos as crispy as possible but this is a look at how we actually do that whenever people ask me what I do for a living the first thing I usually tell them is I work for a youtuber because I feel like in some cases people will just straight up say they're a youtuber but I don't think that necessarily describes what I do so this is a red epic w with the fujinon 19 and 90 that we're currently renting but we're probably gonna end up getting before the end of the year so we mainly shoot red well we shoot red because it makes Ken happy that's why we shoot red you know I wasn't really brought up upon like kind of learning all this stuff so it is kind of learn as we go sort of thing but I think from when I started to now I think we've we've we've gotten you know we covered a decent amount of ground you know figuring that stuff out there like how can you handle a camera like that and not be scared like that's what insurance is for it's called not Ken's problem of you know I think that's what it's called I think it's it's one thing to say I manned a camera and I shoot the videos but I think it goes a lot further than that there's a lot of kind of little bits of directing that I have to do on part of the writing that you do and like the bullet points that you make for yourself because the first part is about like what is a Bitcoin I think that a lot is gonna be fairly straightforward up and to the point where I'm actually explaining like how to use it so at that point I'll finish explaining what the blockchain is and then I'll start talking about mining so maybe that's a point where we cut sit at the table and have like a couple PCs sitting there so I can say like oh look these are what your typical use and I'll hit a little bit on like a stress and that kind of stuff so the fun part of today is that usually we would have well pretty much an entire day to actually shoot something like this but because we have to shoot this and we're shooting this BTS video that you guys are watching now and then we have to another video in like two hours that keep moving take three with less yes the first day I was here it was just kind of out to see the space and to kind of say hi to everyone exact n had gotten the job he had come back to school being like hey I'm gonna graduate with a job unlike the rest of you art majors so over the next couple months I started working with you guys to kind of refine the lighting setup a little bit I'm using just really what you already had just to kind of refine everything make a little more polished okay so we've been reporting 4045 okay so this is a little bit of a harder video I think for me it was difficult to actually explain Bitcoin well it's kind of a complicated subject so the next incredibly important part of any video is bringing the footage to Jimmy where he will actually make it not terrible and cut out my hour and a half of mistakes so when I was in college I played a game called crypt of the necrodancer and I was like I want to make a game review for this so I did and I used iMovie and I recorded everything with the voice memos app on the iPhone and it sounded so bad hello hi I'm back I returned we're gonna be talking about video games today instead of movies so then I was like I switch to premiere I built my gaming PC and that was really tough to use it was like really slow and took like literally six hours export sometimes so I export a video and then go to class and then notice a mistake and be like uh and then I would go back and react sport at all and just fix everything and then I downloaded final cut over the like next summer and it was insanely bad oh hi it's not you a video yay Wes you have Meg reader though thank us the first QA was kind of tough because I kind of had an idea of what your videos were but the first QA was just totally different and there's a lot of extra little things that when to that that I like had no idea about and it was my first week so I was like oh I don't know any of this God Dave yeah well grant there's two minutes at the beginning you gotta keep in yeah so the six minute Q&A and Ozzy answered some really good questions and you'll get a lot of Ken too and even a little bit of me you know between the four of us that are in this office we all have very specific tasks and usually were you know zoned in on those and we can't exactly you know be bothered you know doing the little things like taking out the trash so we have three cameras here there's the first episode that sour a angle we have another episode that's our B angle and we have an F s5 that's sitting up from the ceiling that's our C angle wes is actually Manning the camera right now has done awesome color work to make sure that all three cameras match so shooting log basically means that you're getting the most amount of range out of the camera possible so you're getting all the the stops of light all the range of light that you can possibly get and that's great because then it gives you a bunch of options in post but it also allows you to basically make the most cinematic looking images and the benefit of shooting log and then just applying the what's that I made is we can get the benefit of log getting all that range all that nice color and then by slapping a wet on that I have from testing the cameras with the different lenses it's kind of the best of both worlds you get really quick color and it's just one extra step and pose he's gonna slap it on you're good to go because we have so many videos to make and so a little time to actually make them a tool like Final Cut is a huge part of our workflow so it's like the only thing I've ever really used so I'm just sewing used to it now that I don't there's nothing I would really change I really like that we were able to save the Luntz as presets so I can just type in the camera name instead of going through our massive list of all the different lengths we have this is so much faster and more convenient I like that a lot what is one about your job you wish you a change oh I would have a 30th floor office and look down on everyone you want the actual answer
