oh hey guys what are you guys doing inside a case hello everyone I'm Dimitri with her economics welcome to another behind the scenes today I'm in a bit of a creative challenge because I am currently filming the review for the Thermaltake core w200 it is the largest case that we've ever worked with the whole thing is steel it's incredibly heavy to pick up in this state so imagine when I populate two systems in two it is going to be very difficult to maneuver around my space so I have a plan I need to utilize my time in each space that I position the case in so right now it's against the white wall so I can get my shots and then I'm going to position the whole thing sort of in the middle of my room here with the background being the trees and the balcony there so that I can I can have full 360-degree space around the case so I'm hoping it should be fun and I'm psyching myself up for it because I really want to make you guys proud with what we can do when it comes to things like that however I'm going to be honest with you guys I am a little bit worried publishing this video because of the hashtag thermal fake bandwagon that's going on right now and you know I definitely want to encourage this discussion and the main review video so I have to be worrying my my conversation and my review notes carefully so that I can explain our situation from a reviewers standpoint carefully well that is inclusive of everybody's position but that's gonna nothing take some work in making sure that we are not bashing each camp but also explaining our situation walls so as I'm filming the case behind me a very good advice came from Brandon Lee from lioness effectives he said it's about accepting the compromise of the frame that you want based on your time frame and based on your studio space aka balance out all the elements that goes into your production so that you can still deliver a visually pleasing image to your audience but perhaps when you are stumble upon some challenges go outside the box try not to fully recreate what you've done in the past as I have because this is the largest thing that I've ever filmed so I'm trying to follow my mentality of how I normally shoot cases but I have to get out of that mindset and accept the fact that it's going to be a very different shoot thanks Brandon love you man I am very particular about my lines so I try to level everything out so that lines at the bottom match the lines at the top but in this case maybe it's because it's so large and it's still it there is some like my nude curves in the steel therefore it cannot fully match my horizontal lines at the bottom in terms of video footage to the top once when I'm panning even if my tripod is fully leveled and stuff I'm thinking it's combination the case being slightly skewed and then also my table is most likely not leveled perfectly so one walk around to that is shooting from the side and therefore I get sort of this type of angle and you don't notice the the skewed lines so much and it's not me trying to hide the sticky lines on the case that's not that's not at all I'm just trying to create a good composition so I can sharpen the inside and very particular about my lines so like I'm handing up and the top line doesn't match the horizontal line at the bottom I can't conclude that shot has been perfect sometimes during the filming process little packages arrive to know what's inside of it I'm super excited to share this on camera let's do this I need to be very careful not to move the tripod legs because I still want to keep the same shot Green oh my god and so this was stuck in customs but this seal isn't yet broken I know Kyle from awesomesauce Network was passing through and they had to break the seal this seal isn't broken I'm gonna pause that music because there's a time in place when I listen to music is when I'm working out what I'm cooking when I need to relax when they need to just jump around in the office to some crazy trance song that I found but whenever I'm shooting video I want to have my brain engaged in other than trying to come up with cool shots so podcasts come into play a fantastic podcast will they listen to the day is this is hitman brain very talented hidden brain by NPR fantastic show this is not like a plug-in for them that's just something that I tried to listen to whenever I'm working so that I can engage my mind because they have fantastic conversations about politics science issues everything that you can possibly imagine very interesting show so I can be engaged in here and also here when I'm trying to come up and compose my shots to be as creative as possible while I'm shooting while working I'm also learning another package has just arrived let's open it up a gaming headset ok so a little change of plans as to what I'm filming no longer filming the case which is right over there I blocked off the windows because I want to be very dark I'm creating a very moody video for what's under there which is the GTX 1080 and this is probably going to be the creepiest introduction that I've ever done because I am the the actor inside of it the creepy one and I have a mask and a flashlight I will incorporate like really quick motions in premiere and also playing with lighting to create a very moody atmosphere and then some ambient like dark sounds in the background + reverb in everything that I record with a microphone with the gh4 right there so it sounds like I'm in like big Hall like kind of blocky sound so this should be fun the day he is turning out to be completely crazy I had no idea that this would be doing but spoken with Michael we have this nail down that's going to be really hopefully well-received video and a well-received video eight was so this was the unboxing very creepy vibe I hope you guys enjoyed it make sure it's check it out the link in description but this would be the conclusion of this vlog apologies for spanning it over a couple of days and doing sporadic things or like whipping this up and literally just a couple of hours while in the midst of shooting a case for you the largest one we've ever done so all the links will be in the description below he haven't checked out our previous vlogs and if you have any suggestions on what type of content you'd like to see from a vlog in the future please let us know all feedback counts and I make sure to deliver but I'm three Trevor's I reckon axe thanks much for watching and we'll see you in next video
