your guys John Lanier welcome to the secret office tour so by secret you guys have seen multiple iterations of this space and I'm sure you've seen bits and pieces of this spot but I've never really given you the full in-depth tour now there are still a ton of things I would love to do to the spot in terms of upgrades tweaks enhancements if you guys have any suggestions feel free to drop me a line down below but kind of consider this tour version 1.0 and big shout out to purple for sponsoring part one so this is a plant very very important part of the office upstairs we got the guest loft area where if someone's to come down crash or play the piano they can welcome to upstairs behind me we cut the other half of the massive shoe wall display guess these are the right shoes there's a couple exclusives though we got the pair of rock Under Armour kicks these are courtesy of Dan from once in the side gifted these to me so thank you dude they're a size 13 so I can't fit in these I'm like a size 11 but nonetheless they look rad and i'ma throw them on the display to my left is a piano that I kind of picked up with the intention of learning because when I was a youngster took piano lessons for like two months gave it up and that is one of the things I regret most I remember like two things from piano lessons there's one song that just like stuck in my head that's and I just figured out Rugrats today tropi like if you watch Rugrats that was one of my favorite shows growing up over there that's a drew this is actually the guest editing station so if they want to crash here we got the bed back there and also an IMAX so they want to work on projects like the video he's editing right now we actually shot a collab over on his channel he grilled me with some pretty good questions so if he guys aren't subscribed do it he's entertaining he's smart he's a madman and he grilled me pretty good so make sure you guys check out and he's not that he's not too Apple sheep that he claims to be you know what he's rocking as his daily Galaxy Note 9 so he's actually an Android fanboy confirmed so we got the artifacts desk iMac the Tommen's lamp this is like the classic Toy Story lamp and of course we got that comfortable purple mattress so we know it's comfortable with the reason why it's comfortable is the smart grid technology packed inside this stuff is actually jam-packed in the mattress and that's the reason why it is so pliable is so squishy is so comfortable and naturally from there we had to do some scientific tests to jump on it and see how the smart grid technology held up and I'd say it's safe to say it passed with flying colors also was kind of cool is this tech is packed inside their pillows and let me tell you these are not your average pillows these are so heavy but as heavy as they are they are equally as comfortable and cool like both sides of the pillow and that Tec applies to the bed stays cool throughout the night which is amazing it contours to however you want to sleep so if you're on your back here on your side or the jeff goldblum it's gonna have you covered now I don't want to assume but this might have been the best night of sleep Drew's ever got in his life confirmed so if you want to be as happy as Drew if you want to experience the amazingness that is the purple mattress check out the links below it'll change your life beyond the bed we got kind of little side table over here this is just chaos it's a bunch of shoeboxes so those are the shoes those are the boxes we got kind of like a guest closet right so actually there's nothing but iPhone tens in here those are all Drew's he's just playing the part with a ninety nine right now I'm kidding he's actually using it and now we should head back downstairs to check out the rest of the spot so next one there we got the Linus tech tips kitchen every studio needs one of those behind me that's like a limit edition one of like three TLD posters that was like never made or produced but you guys want a chance to win one just drop a like leave a comment and I will randomly send one out next to me we got today's sponsor I'm kidding bounty the quicker picker-upper that's the same brand behind that is a AV mount charging station so all these go on the back cameras we've got like four charging at once very very useful and as you start to see this is kind of more so of the studio set where we got lots of gear just hiding out we got products that either have been used or are in use in the next cue as they would say to many products to go out here we got the Philips hue master collection so I like you and we're always using them for projects for videos for desk setups and we kind of always have some on hand behind me we got this beautiful beautiful tall IKEA storage locker like in that TLD blue this is also where we have way too many products we're kind of trying to get organized so below is headphone LAN we got monitors we got cables we got backpacks we got smartphones like we got some old old old old phones in there like old school so if we want to go retro we kind of try to build the collection a little messy but we're getting there here that's kind of like the boring stuff power bricks USB cables miscellaneous stuff as we hop over we got kind of ghin it's just like gear land we got a 6 by 6 frame c-stands microphone boom headphones tripods everywhere sliders this guy in the wall is actually a Westcott flex light so the dream here and you'll see in a second this tall piece right here is called a faux bow that's what we use for all the top-down shots right now we kind of just use that with a softbox in the middle of the room which takes up a lot of space so eventually the dream is to mount a couple of these flex lights against the wall shoot them through like a six by diffusion grid and then bring that whole operation right here that way we can utilize the rest of the studio and not take up so much space in the middle of everything so showing you how the fobel works it's really awesome say what's up to rich monitoring audio but yeah you could throw some really heavy camera rigs on this and it's just gonna really change the way you do top-down so it's I don't know what you would call that like that's not pressurized but it's really really really fun this is one of the old tables we had initially like back way in the original office this is a bead board which you gotta use to bounce light which works amazing honestly I wish I knew about this like way back when bouncing light is one of these simplest most amazing things you can do to get that like soft beautiful light now behind me we cut a Tesla slider what you guys saw in the original office store we use that for all those crazy parallax shots so this is kind of one of our most used tools more stands we got a desk for an upcoming video kind of top-secret this guy right here I gotta say it's like a $99 Amazon special and it's not built well but for some reason I really love the cheap laminate top I use it for top-down shots a lot and it looks cool so it's kind of made it in the rotation I think for the most part there's a lot of space in here that could be utilized better there's definitely some echo so with these like tall tall ceilings especially because they're metal it just kind of just echoes and resonates everywhere so I wanna try to get some sort of like sound dampening up there just kind of help fix that echo so for the last part of the office you've probably seen this most in the videos over in this corner that's where I set up for a talking head shot you've probably seen this angle and this is really kind of how I have everything rigged up it's just one simple light the aperture 120 d light dome softbox it creates this beautiful soft diffuse light and you can see I probably look a little underexposed right now but if I get into the soft light it's going to look a lot better I actually use it for one of Drew's recent videos you guys want to check that in addition to the interview I'll drop a link to that down below drew has never looked prettier in there we've got some miscellaneous stuff this is just like a cheap colored cardboard that we got from Hobby Lobby and that's something I use for top-down it's kind of mix up the wood look this is a foam acoustic sound panel dampens the sound so ideally if we had these everywhere that's going to muffle the sound because again it is very very echoey in here now this guy right here I'm gonna stay under the lights this is intended for like a TV it's a Media Console but we really just use it for b-roll for products and more so than anything that's where we have the internet hooked up and without it it would look like a rat's nest so last up we got the corner desk which is the art of Fox you guys may have seen a ton of these in the main office tour really really dig the looks of this it just works very well and doesn't take up a ton of space that is paired with an lg ultra fine 5 Q monitor so it's kind of dual purpose people can set up a laptop here work or again it looks kind of great with the background in the main talking head shot there now I've got a ton of questions on what this chair is I don't know the name but I know it's from Ikea so I'll drop a link to this along with everything down below we got this custom DIY beautiful little light that JT made from IKEA plants an egg from the test earlier that Tom's Toy Story lamp and of course Inc which was from a Vsauce mystery box a while back so this kind of always made its way in snuck into videos and that's kind of the office tour - the Ikea rug below me again it's kind of like 1.0 ton of things I want to do if you guys have any ideas or suggestions drop a comment down below thank you guys very much for watching again check out purple it'll change your sleeping life link down below see you guys later
