what's up guys today's video is gonna be a vlog II style video but might be interesting even for those of you who aren't really into the vlogs I will explain why I've had quite a few people ask me what my day-to-day is like now that I'm not working full-time anymore and here's at least part of it I'm just eating some breakfast yay oatmeal coffee check it out the channel answering some emails and today's video though I want to get some stuff done and the stuff I want to get done is not necessarily creating videos which is I'm going with the vlog so I can kind of show you guys something of what I'm doing today fix up a couple things that I've been meaning to get set up that I haven't yet and they're kind of necessary for me to continue my video production or improve the way I do video production alright so here's my camera this is a Canon EOS use 5d mark ii really like the camera it's not the mark 3 but it's got a nice full frame sensor and everything of course we've got green hills of Africa a little Hemingway gonna kind of get the morning start off right it does not have a flip-out LCD screen which means that when I'm when I'm recording myself I need to set something in front of the camera so I can focus on it it's just that's a little awkward so I'm going to be using something that I believe Jay originally introduced to Jerry and that's the the DSLR software that you can put on the tablet so getting that set up so I can monitor from the camera will be very very helpful for me and sorry about the glare guys but the second thing is here I want to set up a teleprompter for myself though I've done this over at Newegg I made a really ghetto one there I'm gonna make another super ghetto in here probably just gonna be using cardboard for the time being but that's really gonna help me make my productions go a bit quicker and also it's going to help me a lot on the editing site because with a prompter to Kenna cue me going from point to point it's gonna be a lot easier to stay on task and all that kind of stuff so if I get those done then I'm moving on to my next to big actual video projects one is a some actual hands-on testing a direct review video of the HT to 20x and I've also got a new an tech power supply here edge 650 so want to do some quick testing with that as well I've discovered I don't have all the parts I need for today's project so I'm doing it Road Trip of cope with a great excuse for why I'm so unshaven and unkempt today it's a masterfully executed disguise I'm going undercover normally I don't get recognized in public but it is always a joy and I do when I do so you guys it's about me anywhere say hello but that's because I'm going here today not that I'm worried about anyone spotting me in here as far as customers go I just don't want security jumping in and trying to tackle me or something because they think I'm here to sabotage the place oh my god there are so many things it's alright the success for item one that I'm looking for that's this USB on-the-go adapter Oh Fry's impulse bisection run run get through it as quickly as you can so my trip was fairly successful you guys already saw that that's what I came here to get the USB on-the-go adapter I also grabbed a wireless USB adapter because it's always nice to be able to have one of those available just to plug in and connect wirelessly especially if I'm setting up a test bed or something this was my impulse-buy item that I got look at that open box only thirty bucks for the wireless Xbox 360 remote or wireless controller that's in the box upside down but I checked it mainly I got this actually for the little adapter it comes with the USB adapter this is going to go for the new HTPC wireless controller for the living room perfect so I have returned home now and I've got the USB on-the-go adapter plugged in to the tablets so this is gonna help me work out a couple issues here first off that adapter was necessary just to get the DSLR controller software to work so I'm gonna be setting that up but also the DSLR controller software appears to work best with vanilla Android devices and my Asus memo pad HD 7 is not that so next up on the agenda is to route this but I have a very important thing I need to do first before I read it and that is I don't have much saved on this but I do have an epic plants vs. zombies save game also there's a little puppy right here who might want some some playtime right right now are you gonna go play of course you do what do you want to play with gonna play with what's up here what's up here catch catch here's the one thing I want to save on this tablet before I start rooting around on it that's my plants vs. zombies to save I mostly play this when I go on trips and stuff on the plane I'm on the far future level okay guys here's another vlog update so I spent like way too much time trying to get plants vs. zombies off of this tablet I was looking some pretty obscure methods until I finally realized Oh plants vs. zombies newest update will let you just save to the cloud and then it works now it's on my phone that I'm using to record this so that's good I did decide I wanted to get something done a little bit more productive since I spent so much time at i/o the next thing I found out here was that based on this German website from flagger de the process of setting this up for the USB on-the-go to use as the DSLR the DSLR controller software involves getting a different type of dis USB on-the-go cable that includes an additional plug for power unfortunately those aren't available quite as readily at a local source i've ordered one online actual order - they're gonna come i'm gonna have to wait so as a result i have put this project on hold for now as far as getting a DSLR controller app set up so that kind of sucks but yeah what can you do i guess i could also just buy a nexus 7 okay but on to my other project that i started working on this is like super super ghetto so um I needed a teleprompter as I mentioned earlier and in order to do so I've just taken a cardboard box and just started hacking it together with duct tape the other option here was what Kyle has done recently which was spend about 150 bucks for one I think Amazon was worried about it but I decided to go the cardboard route for now and I can just connect it up to my computer I have a monitor their on the bottom I have a piece of glass that's the only other thing here that's not duct tape and that's basically how it works there's a hole in the back so I'm going to put the camera through there and it flips the script for you and other than that it's held together by duct tape the other thing about this is that the whole thing can just kind of lift off and and I can set it aside which is OK for NASA this is like functional I'm happy that this is functional I'm going to start using this a little bit I promise my videos aren't going to start sounding all scripted and lame and stuff but that's good it's good that I got something done next on my to-do list is I want to do a little bit of testing with the edge so I'm just going to connect that the antec edge up to the test fit over here and just see how it does and that'll be cool and who knows maybe I'll even get on to doing some some testing and this guy today which is if you guys remember this is where I did all my cpu cooler testing now we got some more coming up for the h2 20 X but I think that's to do it for my vlog video today I need to go and actually start editing this if I'm actually going to post it I'd love to know what you guys think as far as this video goes I know I was a little random and shaky Bloggie style but that was the only way I was going to do any video of production today and honestly it's been one of those days where I didn't even get much done that I planned on anyway but let me know what you think if you want to see more videos like this on days when I couldn't necessarily produce anything else or if you'd rather to see the more produced stuff that I shoot with DSLR that's a little bit cleaner and isn't shaking around all the time but thank you guys for
