how do you get work done while doing work blah hey you do shitty blogs no one wants to watch what's up guys days two cents here we're working in the studio this place is a disaster look actually not that bad we have been since yesterday working on a new set you can kind of see it getting worked on over here um yeah so we spent yesterday like I'm asked off sorry I'm turning so much I'm sure I'm making you guys all super dizzy so I masked off this nice big square to make a nice gray wall black desk we're gonna have it all nice to meet guys my I saw a picture on Twitter but I walked in this morning and I went what I do Nick I went I don't like that color I'm like - I'll make it darker yeah well here's the problem is it's satin and as you can see like from an angle here there's some shimmer to it but the problem is like even though I had multiple coats on there you can see it right here like it's blotchy because because it's satin so we're going to redo it a little bit darker even because I've got these big-ass skylights up here which you're making this look lighter than I want it to be so we're going to go dark we're going like really dark not black but close to black like probably more like the colour of the curtains here as you can see it's a little bit darker right because it's a little bit darker than the actual grey that's on there but the other idea too though is I need to buy woodworking tools for this I need to buy at least a miter saws I don't have one if we're going to then take like chair rail and molding we're going to mold out this square so it looks like like a partition space if there's something I would have done it like this was like my home they just layer on top I'm serious yeah we're thing about doing that too we're thinking about because you can see we got this kind of an ugly green concrete floor we're thinking about doing like a just a hardwood floor right here where this is yeah just just to kind of make this an official set area the only problem is like I kind of like the idea of carpet though more carpet we have in here the less echo will have the echoes getting better though I'm sure you guys can tell like it's getting a heck of a lot better we also have these rugs right here that we bought they're going to be replacing the curtains the curtains worked well the curtains to me were kind of like a proof of concept like how it's going to work but it's working but I just want something that looks a little bit cleaner and I think that the rugs on the wall are going to do that plus the rugs have more dampening vibration or reverb damping huh yeah we look like idiots we're going to Ikea we would go I wonder if this will work oh no it's like whoa that sounds so much better we look we looked really ridiculous because we were testing out all the different curtains and IKEA doing that we kept putting our face like in the rugs - we took the rug and we like put them over our heads we were like how does its ass people were walking by like we've also got this guy right here is our AV shelf where the cameras once on the truck bounces so we got our little AV shelf you've been doing our lenses and and all our little knick-knack E's and doodads and things that we use to bring in these crappy videos so the sardine run and gun rig we already had the a7 but this is it here with the I can tilt ax on there Linus recommended it he uses it so of course I went and got it had to be copycat but check this out we also got this battery I got off Amazon bet and I need to unplug it because we really plugged in until during the battery so it will power the usb on this camera and as long as there's a battery in it it will run off this battery which is 5,000 milliamps which is worth about five of the batteries in here so we could go like literally all day on this setup we did we did and we have a second battery too so we cannot swap these and keep going it's amazing okay enough chatting now we got to go to Lowe's and get more paint whoa the car is screaming in agony like that if you guys haven't noticed we're not in NICs normal offer at my sunglasses this is going to suck okay we're not Nick's normal GTI we're in what we call the G width Gramma's with your him as whip this is what years is like a 94 94 oh my god nailed it at the 94 Geo Prizm so I'm kind of thinking this site this top one right here which is called No Limits we currently have web gray which is this one right here something and that's gonna be just dark enough I hope another $126 into this set we're not debating sorry decorating it yet oh boy this is like we're close to a thousand dollars into putting together this I hope you guys understand we do this because we want to up the quality for you like we genuinely care about the viewer experience because you know I could have just stayed in my bedroom like in the upstairs bedroom but I think I think it's important though for people to realize too that it's the same reason why we buy cameras that are overkill for YouTube it's the same reason why we buy audio equipment that's over-the-top and why we spend thousands and thousands of dollars a month for a studio and all of that it's because we like what we do we enjoy this we and we get we get something out of having the nice equipment and taking this to the next level because it's more to us than just going I'm gonna put up a piece of content and count the money as it comes in it's about reinvesting into the viewer experience and that means as much to like me I know about this guy kind of masochist he's kind of new cuz it's like yeah it's like I get I get pleasure out of your pleasure this is a BDSM viewers probably at that but no I'm serious I I get something out of you know playing around with the sets I've always wanted a studio and now here I got one it's I'd like a bigger one already but I'd like a bigger one in many ways you know one time we gun day two shades of grey on that wall right we got to go through all 50 we just make it look a test pattern pretty done yet oh where did he go can you guys see Jay I don't see Jay where is he behind me this is too soon again to attack kid show yeah I like your technique here well I have to go above the paint line all right are we also that he also bought a black covers well lat and like stainless steel because I'm not sure which one I'm going to like more we get a it here the most ready second almost some myself to do the baseboards well y'all hate to give the tape wait listen we have a second roll yeah I knew that I'd be okay we got some fans blowing on the wall the first code is up and you can see it's much closer match to those curtains actually wow I take almost an exact match to the curtain yeah we should get one of those curtain rods that have like a bend in it like it's meant to go in the corners so way the curtain can come all the way over here we didn't bring it into the kitchen right here because I've been a really weird partition but I think if we did that then we get a good separation there they make what happens is like it comes and then it makes like a like another 8 inches as a curve so it's meant to be like a corner curtain rod so we can get get one for that side and we can pull the curtains around the corner right there and had the kitchen completely blocked off yeah it's coming together another little sneak peek for you guys here was actually gonna shoot this video today but I decided to redo that wall I came in this morning I was like nope we're redoing that wall could Nick got to the studio before me and when you guys have been asking about this the new fluid gaming each a water kits I've got both of them here well two of them the 120 at 240 and a 240 G I'll be taking a look at two of them but I'm going to I think I'm just going to do the 240g with the GPU in the loop but there's been a lot of discussion about this kit and people freaking out about it because it's a well it's made out of aluminum but there's it's not a bad thing it's done right and that's what we're going to talk about in that video so you guys can look for that early next week I got something outside it's kind of wanted to say to you guys to is I started to talk about a little bit earlier the reason why we buy the nice equipment and it's because when it comes our job it's making videos if we can make our life a little bit easier but also up the quality the content quality and that's important to me because you guys may label me as a jerk or Jay's a dickhole or whatever but I care genuinely about like the viewer experience here I care that about the what people feel when they come to this channel I care about how it looks this is my career now this is everything you guys see is just like thoughts put into video and I care about the way it looks every little thing that's wrong bugs the hell out of me too so it's just important you guys realize and I know every content creator that I'm friends with feels exactly the same way that they care it's our job right we have to care but if we didn't truly have a passion for this why would we do it I'm telling you right now I left I left a very stable and comfortable career in IT to do this and you know it's it's almost like subjecting yourself to a lot of abuse and hate because building your your life online is a terrible model and I can tell you this right now though the the support that we get definitely outweighs the level of hey that's why we keep doing it and that's not going to change and so when I see people make comments of like why do you need that camera or why do you need that tripod or why do you need that slider that's just a waste of money it's not a waste of money to us and so I think perspective is everything I know try and think about it from our perspective for once like this like the fs5 right there right no one needs an fs5 to make youtube videos nobody needs it but you guys definitely noticed an increase in quality the moment I bought that camera a lot of you guys were like holy crap and here's the I understand compared to guys like Austin Evans and Linus tech tips and Jonathan Morrison and and Marquez the mkbhd this is chump change studio compared to like what those guys are putting into their videos I mean there's always pros and cons to that I'm at the end of the day I could have way more money in the big confident buy this stuff just trust me I know I don't need this but I feel better doing it how about you well that's learn but I like using it yeah I think you're starting to feel comfortable VFS eyes when you when I first bought that you were like oh my god there's so many buttons and things q my farts like she break it well it's a risk anyone takes when you start handling this stuff every day you know it's here's a new sledge there is going to be a day that camera is going to break there's a difference between it breaking due to wear and tear and it breaking due to negligence let's just hope negligence is involved and when something here break I mean I did drill through a mother motherboard after all you know there's that I legitimately thought I was doing a cool mod but seriously what are you on the letter somewhere different to be for a little bit so we're different it's like this kind of man yeah drying now it's so much darker it looks so much better the camera can't even focus on it because it can't tell where anything is yeah this is coming together nicely we put two coats on it and yeah we're extremely happy with the way that that turned out something else - I need your guys's help with something especially if you're in the Southern California area here is the biggest problem with my studio he's right as skylights mocking me when you're creating video and do you see how cool and blue this shot looks that's because of those lights up there and when you're trying to shoot video you want to control the light especially as you're trying to create better b-roll like this is going to be mostly a b-roll set over here I need to block those windows out now yes we can do window film or something vinyl tint or rap to try and block out the light I want to block out 100% of the light I got approval from the property management that I can block out the windows yes that's awesome but that's like 22 feet up and it's not exactly like very easy to get a ladder up there and an extension ladder doesn't even really have anything to mean against and then it's at like an angle like that so as you can see it's not flat up and down let me show you we look straight up you can see they're at an angle right oh yeah I need help i need to someone to either if you're if you're a contractor or something and you can do this get me up because I need these windows block out I don't know how to do it needs to be done from the inside not the outside they won't let me do anything to the outside of the windows and I don't even know how well you could get a scissor lift up here because I don't even know if I'd trust the elevator to try and get like a mini scissor lift in that's like 25 see the top of the windows is probably closer to 25 almost 30 feet high it's really really dull I mean look at the height of the ceiling in here it's really high you'd be my best friend forever if somebody can help me figure out how to block out those windows up there and I also have it up there but that's less important than up here who said you were ever best friend well this is drying right now we're going to go to Hobby Lobby and look for some decorative beanies I'm not good at the decorative stuff taking the paint third coat just for good measure still a little bit of blotchy in there it's cut part of it still wet I think it turned out good here's a good example of why we did the the dark gray because white like white walls they just bounce the light and don't soak up any of the color but as you can see with this right the gray look at that the gray just eats up the color so we have a lot of control over it which is which is nice so anyway we'll put the Syst again we'll let that dry we'll put the set together and then I'll show you it looks like it will end the vlog I got to get ready for podcast tonight I'm showing up on someone's podcast by the time this goes light a little already happened yeah I make an appearance in a in a very popular series on someone else's channel you might know him very well maybe he's not that big image little channel alright so Nick has gone home and we are from it's done for the day so here's the set right here you can see we got our bounce board I'm setting up a system right here exactly I'm doing a live stream right here by the time you see this probably figured it out already I'm Blanchot with Linus I was doing land show but there's our living room set you guys are used to and now you can see we have this new set over there of course RGB lighting we could change it all up really cool stuff just trying to bring you guys better videos like I said so that's it I'm going to go now thanks for all of your continued support and I'm going to do the best I can to bring you the best content that my little mind possibly can thanks for watching
