all right it is what happened meetup day so we did a straw poll trying to find out exactly how many people are going to be here today and apparently like 500 people replied we're a little bit worried about battle though we did get sort of more people than I was necessarily hoping for you guys are all awesome thank you for being here so for those of you who could not see the signs on the front of the buildings Luke and I are doing tours of the new office over there this is the garage sale lineup and someone want Krispy Kremes that's super awesome we have a keep on digging t-shirt for you yeah we're gonna we're going to get the tour start at the base gonna be open to the second and thank you all for coming we'll be kind of coming out in and kind of hanging out and all that kind of stuff and yes sorry we wish we were more organized but you guys knew this coming into this I hope oh yeah there's gonna be a couple cool things today I'm going to try and do one right away we're going to be doing to live on boxing's neither of which I know what is inside the box so one of them is a mystery item from Intel one of them is a mystery ultra-wide Heroes thing from LG and a special thank you to everyone who drew overflow to be here you guys are unbelievable the ones who want whatever okay so we're gonna go get tour started thanks guys intel is bringing ddr4 to the mainstream with their core i7 6700 K and Core i5 6600 K processors check the link in the video description to learn more Wow there's bar appear to be expected Karen you want a nametag sure so so these people shut up for the tour and the garage sale has a lot bigger all right all this people is just sitting here oh you're right okay sign my thing sure what is it it's my gear this is the shortest line the shortest line with the smartest mine lines I'm gonna film this to order everyone can have the experience of a tour hello Hey alright okay everyone come on monotone I apologize for the paint smell this uh lady was literally painted this morning um so yeah this this was done this morning this is kind of what we want people to see when they first walk in the rest of it kind of looks more normal come on it on the right are our storage closet and the line of sanity closet the sanity closet contains anything - never ever wants to see so if you guys have ever seen our previous video tour you guys will know that our old office was not very organized and extraordinarily messy and there was like just be too much stuff everywhere I spent about three hours finding this you want to know what's special about it it will fit high profile ram extended ATX motherboard this one does standard with Ram install but it was like 60 bucks I was like well you gotta be kidding me you know what the problem is it's a school supply item so they just expect it's a bunch of government funding these are the carts these are for anything that is being worked on right now so the solution to graphics card storage ended up being a shoe rack everyone's workstation is using an up desk so what's great about these is it's better for Organ omits like we couldn't afford this kind of stuff in the early days of life media creator blades trade up they have a smoother action finer control and they have presets so we absolutely love these these are op desk oh yeah we also upgraded all of our chairs so everyone this was actually provided by max anomic and up desk those guys are awesome so they gave us one super comfy racing chair for everyone in the company so there are definitely cookies come on Otis is warehouse guys this is going to be the workshop so this will be anything like ah hey we're doing like a weird mod or we're building a PC or we're competing to see who can bike mod best PC they built some variation of scrapyard Wars pcs yes exactly scrapyard Wars please Brad yard Wars so we're going to actually equip it with actual tools cover our pegboard and get your oppressive the stuff like was my idea by the way Thank You Taryn yes here honest I want to be able to work on actual stuff at work over here is going to be the LAN show so I believe these metal sheets are going to be part of the painstakingly crafted reclaimed avoid backdrop here so these pallets were all hand disassembled with the nails pen removed by not other than Justin who is here somewhere they were slapped up onto the wall by our carpenter and this is going to be the LAN show from now on this is our new green-screen Claudia how many of you are like building guys or camera guys or anything like that but are any of you feel for camera guys I am so someone tell me what's important for getting a good key on a green screen yes yes it has to be flat both in terms of its flatness and in terms of the finish of the surface so we're going to be using Rosco green screen and paint which actually manages the bounce light and scatters it in a very predictable way what else is important this distance hey that's the big one so yeah our old green screen setup was this about how much distance we had between the shooter and cameras in front of you mind you the subject and the screen very difficult to get the third important thing about a green screen even illumination so you want to light it evenly you want to have a flat surface and you want to have distance between your subject and the green screen because what happens but to tell the guy you're gonna get you yes you know that that godly halo that I have around me and all of our fastest possible videos it's not on purpose we don't want that it's from the green light bouncing off of the screen onto the edges of me from behind so the way we'll be shooting on this is I'm going to be standing way the crap out here we're going to have a camera set up about at that rack next to Harry Potter's closet under the stairs you're going to be able to do full body height being screening because we have this fancy pants / built into the bottom here that's my idea and we're gonna paint the three of you as well thank you Taryn so we will be able to do anything with our fancy new green-screen yes PD the lightest and the reason film a ik is for a couple of reasons number one it is constructed of modular panels it's just in a in a space like this who knows we might want to completely you know reconfigure what it looks like the other reason it's huge is because this gives us a few different looks depending on what kind of product it is so let's say it's a more consumer electronics product maybe I have like a couch a TV in the background we shoot this way maybe it's something else and keep this football ideas so brendan has been begging way to cart around well this is an empty one so it's less of a good example but to cart around his sea stance which hold things like light reflectors and all that crap that he makes me spend way too much money on I mean what light diffusers wasted light is what I call it and this is the flag cart this is funny we have to see stand carts because our carpenter accidentally built two of these instead of one so now we have an extra we're still not sure I could hang on there you go this is Brandon's special place yeah so he has been asking me for a dedicated place to shoot b roll of products since he started two years ago originally my solution was Luke's workbench back in the garage days and then our second solution was front room with like the shells in the wall and Neverland there was no space this is big enough that we'll be able to take big items like computer cases or 3d printers and we'll be able to install a gym the filming guys probably know what that is but basically it's a big long arm with a camera at the end of it if you like like crazy shots with it so Brandon actually has his new gym ordered it is here and he is ready to start playing around a little bit as soon as I know exactly he's meeting this one Allina sebastian custom walk oh that thing no ever seen you on the box yeah yeah yeah give me the box there you go the kind of box alright okay so I'm gonna actually going to switch sides on you guys not quite done yet this is the super-fun shelf so pretty much everything you've seen on channel one is here there's also some just kind of sentimental value relics this keyboard reminds me of the time that I was more angry at Brandon than any other time in the history of our while almost three-year relationship now I told him for this shoot I needed a metal reinforced keyboard I gave him weeks to come up with a solution the night before our shoot at about 8:00 p.m. he brings me a spray-painted keyboard I say where's the metal reinforcement you have the metal reinforcement right he goes no it's painted like metallic silver I go are you kidding me the script specifically calls it's been approved by the client it's been it's good old mer metal reinforced keyboard we don't have one I gave you weeks weeks to do this so I went to princess auto I obtained I forget what it was I don't even know what this is and so I use my angle grinder to score it bent it and we had our metal reinforced keyboard but I don't remember where I'm going with the story there's some sentimental value stuff here so there's our channel Superfund 100,000 subscriber plaque from YouTube we've actually got all three of the silver plaques here okay so this over here is going to be - is special quarter the 1 million subscriber plaque so they're really big it turns out I did not know that I don't know where YouTube expects people to put these things on the wall yeah on the wall that's just we got we got a joker on the tour this time you got a smart guy but yes we'll put humble so yeah this is where I'm gonna work on stuff whatever it doesn't come in my office which may happen from time to time okay so this is a server room so up here this is a forty thousand dollar piece of equipment from Telus we don't pay for that it's just leased to us so that's for our dedicated fiber line this is our router for or tension fiber lines although we're going to be operating this on sometime early next week these are switches gigabit 10 gig for all the editing workstations this is our surveillance server and dedicated switch for that UPS for that this is our 24 Bay SSD storage server for video editing it can do it on 10 gigabytes per second of sequential reads and sequential writes so this is where legitimately pretty much all of the magic happens this is the editing gun so all these workstations are pretty much state-of-the-art 49 60 X 6 quarters 32 gigs of ram except eddie special again 64 gigs for some reason we ended up actually using the capabilities of the tied max by accident so our new editing workflow has us converting everything to a codec called sinha form before editing so what that enables people to do is when they're scrubbing through the video editing timeline it's near-instantaneous really cool turns out that it's GPU accelerating so everyone's got more up desks everyone's got new peripherals everyone's got a microphone on their station now for doing things like you know goofy voiceover while they're editing and stuff like that 4k monitors courtesy of an LG can't say enough about these guys they actually provided 12 of them awesome last thing is upstairs this is our old janky green screen this is what we've been using in the meantime while pizza okay so basically be buddy baked it from her old place I don't know if any of you with a folder on social media but that's how it went down we were operating a business out of a residential property in the city tower Township of Langley booted us the crap out so we actually had to move into this place before our final inspection was done and before all the construction was done so behind the curtains um if you guys care this is what makes the whole place tick actually so this is where our sales team sits none of this happens without the the hard work and dedication few people who want to get on the phone with Squarespace or Dollar Shave Club or whoever else and make sure that all of this actually gets paid for all the salaries of the people who work very hard here get paid so this is where Nick sits and this is actually our newest member of the team Colton something really cool happened quite some time ago a lot of people don't understand like how time-consuming and how expensive it is all I'll come out there for this how time-consuming and how expensive it is to make video well quality yeah how time-consuming and expensive it is to start a team around you to make video let's get a look at this but the important thing to notice on this graph is this is views per day okay so I'll show everyone is that there's a trend here it's your classic hockey stick actually this this so what happened was I hired Nick light that day um it allowed me to spend my time making better videos it allowed me to work more closely with the video making team to help us grow the actual viewership and then that allowed me to not think about money so that's that's why we have so many sponsorship spots and why we do what we do it's not because I just want to you know sit and relax all day because there's a lot of one-man shows on YouTube that that do great it's just because for me to do what I do best I need fewer distractions I didn't want to think about money anymore so this is the conference room it's got bench seating so the table goes kind of here also making storage come on guys you got to give me the reaction okay my office is to the left and then that pretty much complete the tour right now full of random people like I said is all very temporary there's our bunch ever in there with Sony fs700 now I say cameras aren't expensive I meant in the context of running a business I didn't either not expensive that puppy is worth about 12 grand with all the accessories attached to it that's I think the single most expensive piece of equipment we've ever bought and was the first thing that I bought as a new company we it has been upgraded either through firmware or through third party accessories to shoot 4k 60fps and it can do sustained 1080p slow-mo at 240 frames per second so that camera has actually grown in capability as we have grown as a company it's a huge workhorse I'd really enjoy that camera we be heart that camera so very much a lot of other things Sony dad is not a big fan I'm glad we investment any - indoors something that the building inspector system that we have instead of a fire pole okay good news about it is that if we were to slice off all of these guards we could probably repurpose it as a fire poles okay so I'm going to take my group through oh wow the tourists are oh my goodness okay I know the lineup for tours is bananas right now so as a consolation prize we are going to be doing a live unboxing here in the parking lot you're not used to being filmed are you yeah actually when you're doing the filming lots of it you know I gotta see money I've seen luck you're good I can about like thank you I'm getting old my hair is pretty please give me five minutes in five minutes I will return to this spot okay so guys I just ate of the year it's hard being the boss all right what am i doing right now right I'm awesome yes yes it is a core i7 6700 Sun urine - face almost have everybody there you go in a branded we're the same height I know this of the dark so going hi figuratively and literally because it's very sunny outside and as you can see we've emptied out quite a bit of our stuff and I am hot right you big fight on that dick but no that's not something I would do if you can I just put the hashtag full sign this you got to put your faces on the top of the frame oh yeah like that see there you go yeah that's how
