your guys Johnson here just another Wednesday or whatever day it is when you're finally watching this hanging out with a couple familiar faces Marquez aka mkbhd is interviewing Elon Musk the first part will be a sit-down interview which is like a normal I've done this before but it's like a talking tech or talking Tesla with so I'm sure everyone's seen part one but here's a look inside the room before everything went down as far as cameras go what do you need to interview Elon Musk on the ATM's Marquez's red monstro full-frame monster of a camera pair with Sigma's 24 to 35 millimeter lens the B cam is a Canon C 200 and shot up to Brandon have art for locking that down you know my job I think is to just make sure reflections don't occur and hope that Elon doesn't post anything on Twitter before we get there and as far as the audio goes we got a pair of rode wireless lav mics that has been fed into a sound devices mixed pre three I want to quickly give the biggest biggest possible ups to my guy rich for taking some of the highest pressure tasks and handling them like a champ first up was laughing Elan and Marquez this is an interview with Elon Musk not something you do every day there's no second chances there's no redos if you screwed it up that's it fortunately though rich nailed the audio so let's give a giant thumbs up for having ice in his veins I do also want to mention that Elan was one of the chillest dudes that I've ever met there is no camera off no camera on mode it kind of made you forget that holy crap there is a mastermind billionaire in the room rather kind of just like everyone was hanging out talking Tesla the amount of passion and energy and joy and just excitement that he showed towards Tesla kind of changed my whole outlook on him and honestly he might have sold man a Tesla without selling me if that makes sense so once the interview was done there was no time to celebrate because things got a little bit crazier luckily though prior to the interview we tried to be as prepared as possible going through everything from balance and a camera down to the interview did you're you're all over the internet for various reasons let's talk about Tesla when is rich gonna get his car because he's had some issues and I know you've seen his tweets I've definitely not seen his to eat I've got a million mentions every day yeah appreciate your time thank you it's gone a little factory tour so remember when I said rich was awesome as soon as the interview was done he went from running sound to running downstairs to balance and next read on the DJI Ronin to wait about three minutes to get everything ready to go Ilan's walking down the factory and again there is no room for air also I want to give a shout out to DJI because the Ronin 2 was amazing and honestly was what allowed us to get everything set up so quickly so this was a total team effort the idea here was I would run the red on the road in two and then behind the scenes there was secretly a ton of pressure on VIN who had to wirelessly pull focus got a pull focus hopefully I know how to use it I'm pretty sure it's pretty straightforward right just look at the eyes to be good the way that is done is there's a tarot deck mounted onto the red that is wireless he's done an HDMI over to another small HD where he then pulls focus on the DJI focus so when it came down to go time in the high paced environment this contraption is called a ready rigging the idea is is that it helps offset the load with the Ronin - the problem is is we did not set it up properly and there was no time to fix it the Ronin - with the red and the zeiss otus and a tarot deck and the monitor that is a pretty heavy rig so you can definitely use it in short bursts but if you're trying to use it for someone over 10 minutes it is torture when you watch the interview everything kind of seems smooth and calm and graceful like if you played jazz music that would fit perfectly but in actuality it is just pure chaos there's people and robots and cars and it's flying objects and you're trying to dodge things all the while we didn't have the ready brick set up properly so all the weight was just like killing my arms again this is an interview with Elon Musk so you can't say yo can we pause my arms are tired you just got to kind of roll with it and that's what I did to top things off we were all in steel toe boots which kind of just iced the cake in terms of the challenge so we're walking in dodging things and I'm just trying to keep my arms from falling off and there was this one walk I just felt like eternity the entire uncut video was about 26 minutes so by the end of things I was just toast somehow though we pulled it off and as challenging as it was and as sore as I was next day this was no doubt one of the most memorable moments I've ever got to be a part of so thank you guys very much for watching thanks Marquez for having us out for trusting us Thanks Elon Musk for being just a genuinely cool dude if you missed Marquez's full video which I'm sure you've watched to link it down below this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later biggest bonus of the day getting a sweet it's like a stealth ninja hard hat it looks like a baseball hat but there's like plastic in there so for pure science purposes you missed the padding right here man
