Setup / Room Tour & Video Filming Gear - 2012

2012-04-20
hey guys this is Austin and stayed in here with the tour of my office as well as how I felt my videos of course before any proper office tour begins we got to start with the most important thing which is the dog so Sam would you like to say anything no this is my dog Sam if you guys ever succumb to d3 live you've probably seen him before he's pretty much lives in my office so I figured hey what kind of office tool would be complete without a dog bin right guys yeah this is my office look what walk around him here I also set up my lighting cameras and all that kind of good stuff to kind of give you guys an idea it's that quite setup how I usually do it not can explain why in a minute but mostly just because I want to have a little bit of room to walk around says what you start with my filming set up and I'll go ahead and move on to some of the cool stuff we got in my office so you guys can see here I had three light boxes I have one above the camera I have one that's not quite right but usually it's kind of facing that general direction and I've got this one here which is facing back gets that wall but just because I want to get a little bit more light in here I switch it around here oh these are some really nice light boxes when I give you guys a little look at it from the back so you have a couple of options so you can go ahead and for example flip off two of the lights or flip off all four so you do a little bit of flexibility there I really appreciate that because usually this one's kind of like at half power so just so it doesn't blow my face out so let me pull this back and show you guys the interior where all the cool stuff happens you can see here it's got four lights with kind of a reflective thing and it's got this which kind of softens the light thus the name soft marks so this is like to use the great for video not a whole lot else to say than I do really like them of course you guys I've ever done video or you know anything about it you know that you absolutely absolutely have to have good lighting I mean even a good camera is not gonna do you that much good unless you actually have some good light so there's a little tip for you guys there I also apologies in advance that the camera quality isn't fantastic or the audio I'm just using my iPhone to record this since all my gear I won't actually show you guys and it's kind of hard to film gear with your gear your reception anyway so moving on we had my camera this is a Nikon d3100 you guys can see from all right there this is the camera actually been using for about a year and a half or so I like this camera a lot I've done a couple videos on it so if you guys want more information definitely feel free to go check that out it's a really solid camera there's definitely some things I wish it had and I don't imagine option to be using this for too much longer it's time for an upgrade but it is a silly really solid camera pretty much 95% of the videos I film our films with this camera so if you guys want an idea of the quality watch any of my videos from the past year or so and you'll definitely get a good idea of what it's all about usually I pair it with the Nikon 50 millimeter 1.8 lens great lens distance II here when I kind of set up in my studio deal we got the camera kind of microphone then I sit roughly in that general direction and it works pretty nicely great depth of field Williams really saw it lens wide just flat flat the camera you call that what have you called turning it on now yeah so I'm going to turn the camera on just so you guys can see it's usually how I film my videos so you know I'm there I'm talking something I hope you guys have all seen before someone just turn that off and move on to the next step which is going to be the zoom h1 microphone again another really cool piece of tech that I really enjoy this is actually something I've recently started using I've had this in for a while took it to CES with me this year in January so all the audio for my CES videos was filmed on this and if you guys have ever been to a major trade show you know just how ridiculously stupid loud it isn't there but the zoom h1 will did a fantastic job of getting me some really nice audio on the show floor so great a great little microphone and what I've now done is now done my words have failed me I've got it on a little just a little cheap tripod and what I do is I just kind of set it right about here I spin my chair around and kind of face towards the camera and this just goes right underneath the shot so you guys can't see it but all the audios film with the zoom h1 at least when you see me talking to the camera that's all the audios film from this little guy I know that's a little silly to have a little battery-powered microphone on a full-sized camera tripod but it works and that's all that really matters to me moving right along here if show you got some that just second I do want to kind of tweet this out now this is something I bought a couple months ago or so to do a review on and I did a review on it but wasn't happy with how it turned out I haven't gotten around to refilling it but this is just a little wall outlet the kind of ads USB ports so just you can set right in here you have to rewire anything like that you still plug in a normal whatever right here you also have a pair of USB port so you can charge your iPad smartphone or one of the millions of different things that uses USB to charge it really awesome will gadget if you guys want to check that out I'll have a link to this as well as pretty much everything that I show in this video in the description of this video so you guys want to check out more go for it let's go and sit down at my desk here hey you continue on there's a lot of stuff for you guys to hopefully don't mind watching a long video next up is going to be my clips oh no my finger is in the shot that's like my pet peeve justjust there's a kind of a side note until the off topic if someone ever puts their finger in front of the lens like I want to do violent things to them so I've got to be really careful but anyway yeah this is the blue Yeti this is the microphone I used to use for all of my videos now I'm mostly just use it for voiceovers and you know different things like that usually got a pop filter on here but took it off the other day just because it was kind of it's a giant pop filter I'll put a link in the description to it too but it's just big say like a big stand on the back end kind of takes up a lot of desk space so I took that off but yeah this is a great microphone do you see it in my videos sitting right about here so if you looked over at the camera you can see it but uh cool microphone very very cool it is USB powered which is good and bad it's good because of course it's very simple you just plug huh whoa whoa whoa okay I gotta be careful really hard I'm holding the phone with like a claw grip right now anyway I was saying this is a USB powered so you plug it into any Mac or PC I actually don't have this on because you guys Intel this is very very loud and while I don't mind normally for videos that drives me crazy so you know this is off and this is plugged into the MacBook Air whenever I need to record which is over there Russia does that second moving on here we have the computer again you guys are probably seeing this again this all should be pretty familiar to you guys this is in the background of almost all of my videos this is a custom-built PC I built about a year or so ago in fact I once did a office slash room tour whatever I titled it and that was right after I finished building this so it was about a year ago since then I upgraded it to six terabytes of storage which I know sounds just ridiculous but I actually use it I got about four and a half terabytes used at the moment I save all my video files and all the project files and the audio and blah blah blah blah blah which eats up tons of storage and it's really nice to have that stuff around because all the time you know I do a video on something I'm like oh yeah I did a video on it six months ago I can use a clip of that does that happen to try to refill or in the case of CES get all kinds of cool footage and use it all year round so pretty cool stuff some of the other specs just to go over really quickly core i7 2604 gigahertz very modest overclock especially considering all the fans I've got well that looks really dusty yeah forgot to clean this before I did this in anyway we'll go ahead and just ignore that but yeah core i7 we've got 16 gigs of RAM which I just recently upgraded again that six terabytes of storage as well as a hundred twenty eight gets SD Radeon 6850 graphics card or 750 watt power supply also I did a video on this before so again most of the stuff I've done videos on so if you guys want more information and I want to go to attend an explanation of everything go and check out my build a PC the $1400 one so this is the fourteen hundred dollar computer I built which it has been upgrade like I said since then but yeah awesome computer love it a lot moving on here is what I steer it pretty much every single day it is my assist 23 inch monitor yeah pretty good monitor it's an IPS display of 1080p etc etc etc very cool sorry I'm trying to hold the camera steady but yeah monitor it's it's amazing and stuff also up top here I do have my webcam which is just a logitech c310 nothing all that specials is what I stream with d3 live and when I do Google Hangouts Google Plus hangouts right there and all that kind of stuff so it's alright it's films in 720p and I do have a review of that but I do need to upgrade cuz it's not particular amazing webcam what move over here we have my router and modem and all that exciting cables so I've got like mini display USB there's actually nothing interesting in there but moved in my microphone out of the way up top here you guys can see I do have some DVDs like any good nerd I have a whole spindle of DVDs that come in handy so you know recovery discs Windows OS 10 Linux pretty much any kind of project I do you know I can pull out a DVD and go hey I need to go install I don't know tiger on a computer or something I'm so comes in and II wouldn't move on here got just some cables and audio splitters okay here's something I just got this into review this is a Tokyo flash watch so I'm gonna look for a review on this coming soon I just need to get it resized because it's too big for me um you can just kind of remove links but haven't gotten around to figuring out how to do that yet so it's kind of in the drawer right now continuing on here we have some different things I've got some business cards tripod head USB and just junk adapters a 3ds charger I think all that interesting down here's where I keep some of my devices so here is put on an iPod Touch 4th generation we do have a Samsung Focus flash I actually like this phone quite a bit but unfortunately it's on AT&T and Verizon is not all that useful to me and also we have my very first smartphone yes I had a palm pixi Plus this was my first smartphone before I got the iPhone yeah now let's say about it it's actually wasn't that bad of a phone to be honest like nowadays you know after I've actually used a decent phone like an iPhone and rittany but back in the day that was actually not a bad phone I liked it quite a bit also here is a case for an iPhone 5 yeah back before the 4s came out everyone thought hey it's gonna be a 4-inch iPhone 5 I actually bought a case for that was supposedly for the 5 and of course it never came out so this is kind of useless but I hope that one day I will have an iPhone that fits in there so I can just say haha told you so because if you guys remember I was pretty much convinced that we were gonna have an iPhone 5 I didn't turn out too well did it over here we have my headphones is the audio technica ath and fifties whoa a mess of my microphone here audio technica ath and 50s great headphones I've done videos on them before so if you want to check that out feel free to do so also Marcus Brownlee and I just finished giving away a pair of these so awesome alright so moving over here we've got my sunglasses which is not all that interesting we have a couple of boxes ah I love boxes it's just something I like to keep around so I've got a core i7 box as well as the box for my 4s alright let's go ahead and move around here again there's a dog we just decided to pass out Kanna happens frequently as you guys can see some of my cable management and whatnot you know it's still not all that great but it's a little bit less messy than just cables all over the place alright so we got a little bookshelf here we have iPad one do you guys see this is an iPad one actually it's a paper iPad pudding that I made before it came out this is actually an April Fool's Day joke so back in 2010 but right before the original iPad came out I basically made an April Fool's Day joke saying hey I got the new iPad one I'm gonna give it away and everything and it was it was funny so yeah I just can't keep that around to this kind of cool right here we have a Amazon Kindle Fire hello yeah the Kindle Fire I was excited about it I mean it was only $200 it's just an of course pretty good for a tablet but the software on this was just so bad so I I only read books on it to be honest it's just not my thing I'll probably end up selling it soon we just haven't gotten around to it oh yeah oh we have any Intel packet but you guys probably aren't interested in we do have an otterbox stand so I've actually used this in many videos but I had a lot of questions about it it's just a really simple stand it folds up if I could show you guys if I had more than one hand see you just put a phone or whatever in there comes in handy he was just a box for that Tokyo flash watch I showed you guys here a bunch of copies of Corel VideoStudio which I got from the video studio booth while I was there official YouTube speaker person in Orlando last month actually ought to give those away or something over here we've got some spindle of new DVDs and CDs I actually had to get a couple of DVDs the other day and like you know I just go buy some and hopefully that's all the DVDs I'll have to ever have to buy I hear floppy drives are coming back so they can just give me some more of those you got Super Smash Brothers Brawl which is an awesome game and moving right on along here we have the Pico Dali oh it's hard to film and talk with one hand yes talking with one is difficult yeah okay maybe not this is the Pico Dali I'd open it up and show you guys but again I'd probably just drop it all over the place it's just a little dolly it's like a skateboard with wheels you guys can look it up or if I can find any link to it I'll put in the description it's alright honestly I don't really recommend it I mean it's okay maybe if you have a lighter camera but well now and I put my Nikon on there it's just to having it bounces all around but I have used it a few times over here nothing all that exciting just some tools I've got some soldering a soldering iron solder some different bits and pieces I occasionally use I got my nerd kit here I've got bits thermal paste screwdrivers that kind of thing this is a new MacBook Pro for giveaway no I just kidding just kidding no I'm actually anyway who's listed just a box I don't have a MacBook Pro but I just got this box on inside that's all my kind of project stuff so guys and that's this D I'll show you and I don't realize just some project stuff we've got an SSD some RAM or drives nice different things I use for my various nerd like projects lastly you're not really lastly but last on the Shelf you just got a few things I mean to be putting on eBay that haven't got around to palm pixi plus just not the whole same one I got a second one some speaker audio technica at2020 microphone just a few things that I haven't that I of course I get a lot of crap and I'll need to keep it so that's just some things I haven't gotten around putting on eBay yet but you this one get up here and step around this giant light box which is in my face closet nothing exciting in the air except boxes and stuff that it's messy and I'll show you guys another dog I don't maybe it's the same one now over here and while that light is really I mean that light really messes up the exposure of the iPhone here is another box like I said I thought key these boxes around they look cool just for the 50 millimeter lens oh wait I have a couple of extra light bulb since these I have 12 light bulbs in here all on total I just keep a couple extra around the box is it expose enough I just keep it a couple extra round I honestly I could PI put those up but I haven't got around to it the epson workforce 635 printer scanner copier all that kind of fun stuff i actually have a lot of games but unfortunately there's a dog blocking the door so let me go ahead and move him out of the way all right so one dog out of the way and i should go ahead Truong the video light on my phone and you guys can see some of my video games so yeah i won't go over everything these are some of my favorites so you guys want to pause the video whatever you definitely can do that I've also

always come in handy to have and last but not least we have my review table so yes I know it's terribly scratched up and stuff I kind of focus it which it doesn't look so bad on the iPhone but it's all scuffed and there's burn marks and I'm sorry sorry gone wrong but yes this is what I do all my reviews on so you just put a light there like they're like here or here and I set some tripods up
