hey what's up guys I'm Kim PhD here and welcome to the studio tour 2016 in 360 degrees so right off the bat you can probably already tell you can look around if you're in Google Chrome you can drag around the window this actually works best on a mobile device so if you're on your phone you can literally like look around what's next to you what's behind you or if you have something like this Google cardboard you can put your phone in there and really get immersive with it so that's what this is for but yeah this is the studio so a lot of you guys first saw it when it was super empty it's a little bit more full now with a whole bunch of stuff so I'm going to show you around the idea generally of having a studio space for me that's not just my bedroom is so number one it's a lot bigger it's a lot more space for me to actually do things and set things up but number two it's two postings and bring things in and that mix of videos a little more interesting but yeah I guess first things first I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys this gear cabinet right here so I guess I'll call it the gear chest this is essentially the video gear and the stuff I make videos about so over here on the right hand side this is Ikea built so actually took like a lot of time to build this but this is all the stuff that I use to make the videos so those surfaces behind you and around you are pretty clean so this is like the camera the lenses the slider is actually a really good organizational tool if I know exactly what's in every drawer here so I know exactly where sound is and where batteries are but this is what I'm using to make the videos a slider all that stuff I'm going to try to leave links in the description below to as many of these things that I'm talking about as possible so if you have any questions or if you're wondering if you can get your hands on this stuff the links will be below so that's what that's for but that's the right-hand side now if I switch over here to the left-hand side you can see there's a lot of the stuff that I'm making videos about so this is stuff like okay all the phone boxes all the tablets the the laptops the headphones all that sort of stuff that's all living in here one of the things I get a lot is what are you supposed to do with the devices once you're done using them like once you're stopped using or reviewing a phone I don't know either I still have that question as well so that's kind of why this drawer exists but yeah that's that's kind of the idea of the gear cabinet is to keep things organized and off of surfaces so it looks pretty for video all the time but yeah there's plenty of stuff living in here so that's the gear chest I guess I'll go ahead and move on and I'll show you guys something else this is an mkbhd Edition poker table super unique obviously you can't buy this exact table but I'll leave a link to the makers of this table below so if you want to check that out that's there but there is a meaning behind it being a poker table obviously we don't really we talk tech on this channel all the time but we often don't consider the people that are making the tech and the decisions they make to make each phone and each tablet that we use every single day so it's for that reason kind of rare to see a company take a real gamble and go all-in on something like crazy like this new thing we're seeing that I you might see in an upcoming video these bezels phones they look crazy but I love it I love the risk they're taking so this table is not just a place for people to come and lose their money but it's also kind of a reminder for me for the companies that are taking those risks and doing things a little bit differently so this is the table now there's some DVI stuff some foam but we can move right along and check this out besides the carpet which does great acoustically this is the dream desk this you've probably seen not only all over Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and places I've shared it but this is the entire thing so you have a look at it this is a super unique piece of furniture and the chair obviously is pretty neat to have as well but yeah this took a couple months to arrive and this is super sweet to actually have here I get two main questions with this desk when people see it as number one like what do you do with your feet on this base here I just kind of kick up I don't think it's a big deal it's wood they can handle it's terrible and number two can you put things way over here on this side of the desk and will they fall off or knock it over no this desk is great it's super usable it's weighted very heavily over here it's got cable management and yes I could put like an iMac over there and I would stay fine it's great there's also some art behind me there's some Phillips hue bulbs in these lights and obviously the art you can't get anywhere else either there's a video light as well I'll move on so this is the sort of a lounge type of entertainment sort of areas we could probably tell by the sweet modular couch and a chair right here but yeah this is kind of fun so this is a 4k OLED TV it's amazing it's beautiful but there's almost never any actual TV signal going into it there's no cable box here it's mostly just Internet like streaming services and stuff so YouTube there's an Apple TV plugged in there's a ps4 there's an Xbox one there's a chromecast but there's a chromecast ultra and the mail coming soon because that supports 4k and this can also be like a nice area for virtual reality testing so VR stuff you're kind of watching one of the VR videos right now that stuff's coming out all the time vr gaming is awesome so that stuff could be tested here all the time now I keep talking about philips hue because they have these smart light bulbs at the philips you app installed on my phone the benefit of that is I have full control over all the lights in this that are Philips you the light strip behind the desk all that stuff over the app on my phone so that's kind of a neat thing there's also one other thing I want to show you guys since I haven't actually formally shown you on video yet is this thing this Thank You this is the the plaque that you get first surpassing a million subscribers on YouTube so I just want to say thanks for like that in person so you can get that yeah but other than that this is the sort of a lounge area I guess easiest way to move on oh by the way a lot of foam it helps is great I'll move on so this is the corner of the room that I definitely spend the most physical time in right so this is the editing Bay this is the vocal booth this is everything first of all this piece of equipment right here can't forget it this is the Kessler pocket jib Pro and you've seemed like the overhead shot so I'm going straight down with like the unboxings and stuff you can do that with a tripod but it's a lot easier to have a dedicated tool where I can roll this over to the desk or roll over to the white surface and point it straight down and it'll get that overhead shot so that's sick this is the Google jump VR rig that we're shooting this video on right now so this is what you guys are looking at me through this is the rig what it looks like is basically 16 GoPros all on this sort of a platter thing all connected with this sort of a wire of cables all recording at the same time so that's why you can walk around and look they're all recording in a stereoscopic 3d image has a facial microphone by zoom up top just like that so there's no up facing camera so you like lose the upper 30 degrees or so video but those wide-angle lenses that's what you guys look like when I'm looking at the camera and talk to you that's what you look like um and then there's the desks a pair of next desks over here some foam in the corner that I've put up but this is the next desk Tara you've probably seen this before actually but what's neat about this is it's a it's sort of the charging station for all things so batteries charge here there's wireless charging here and there's a USB type a USB type-c EOC USB I don't know lightning everything charges here the Apple watch charges here so this is also a height-adjustable desk but I don't really sit here because I'm usually sitting at the mega desk this right here this is the next desk err pro with I guess it's an even larger custom size it's larger than they normally make maximum as incredible so this is covered in production equipment it's not a normal everyday setup but it's a pair of aces 4k displays this little shelf here thing I'll try to link on Amazon people really like that twelve terabyte read where I keep the final finished files sennheiser HD 800 s bicolor where I'm probably going to have an entire dedicated set up just for the production like in all is 8k glory like just this as a normal video so thumbs up if you want to see that but in the meantime this is what it looks like when it's on got a Philips hue lightstrip in the back and all kinds of foam behind and below it because I'm doing sound editing here just as much as I am video editing Yamaha HS 8s on the side devices that I'm testing and the 2013 trashcan Mac Pro that I'm hoping gets updated very soon at least at the time of the recording of this yeah and so being on an x desc err Pro it is height adjustable so you can see it's at a standing height right now but if I move the chair out moves down to a more appropriate sitting height speakers come with it everything comes with me and I go down to a sitting height so if I'm editing and sitting that's great by the standing preset as well so anytime I'm standing and I'm not editing for a long time that's when I stand the chair down here is a Herman Miller embody that slides by underneath so it's super easy so this is pretty pretty compact pretty clean some color where black keyboard and everything I like it it works for me that's where the production of most of the videos you watch or happening so that's pretty much it that's the extent of the studio and the way it looks now in 2016 obviously all this is subject to change is going to evolve as time goes on stuff is going to come in and out but this is a sort of a starting template with what we're working with you saw it when it was empty now it looks fantastic I think so you guys saw the gear chest all the stuff that's in it fantastic organizational tool we have all the carpeting and all the furniture and things like that we have the poker table you guys saw the poker table and why it's a poker table and then of course the dream desk over there and all its glory the couch lit more foam a little bit more furniture you saw the entertainment system obviously the TV over there you have the couch you have the carpeting all that sort of stuff all the foam and I got some more tables you got some more gear you got some desks you got the production area you've seen it all now thank you again I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you for everyone who's been watching his videos you saw the plaque as well super important to me but yeah that's pretty much it as far as the tour goes hopefully there will be more stuff like this to come thank you for watching this one talk to you guys the next one pace you you
