so first just tell me your name and what it is that you do my name is Luis Hilson tiger and I produce videos for the web and what's the youtube channel that people are doing this so most if not all of you will know me from the youtube channel unboxtherapy great and so tell me how long have you been making youtube videos for and how many subscribers I've been making videos for close to four years I believe or maybe we just passed that anniversary actually I now have close to two million subscribers the first videos I've noticed were actually unboxing and review day where did that idea come from I had been interested in the entire concept of unboxing since it had any place in in our sort of cultural landscape online it was almost completely just user-generated content for the purpose of sharing with tight-knit social groups no one was really doing it professionally but I became obsessed with exploring the psychology behind why people wanted to watch these videos and what I could do to sort of enhance what was already out there and now what you're soft you're too soft okay when a person is looking for a scope on a rifle they see their target in the distance which is magnified through the glass but they have a cross that goes through the glass and at the center point is where that bullet is going to hit that those are the crosshairs that's the level of precision I'm talking about don't ever underestimate yourself okay make slam took a selfie on an airplane he took a selfie on an airplane and he never expected to never underestimate what you're capable of so we finished up at the LG event and they unveil some really beautiful 4k OLED panels of course we've had this promise of all that displays for a while now Psalm at CES now we have 4k resolution unbelievable blacks as you'd expect super dark you have that high contrast kind of look colors saturated if you're into it this is pretty much as good as it gets and at 65 inches makes quite an impact also super thin stupid thin you already know that to the depth less than that of my finger so really exciting stuff on top of that we heard a little bit from some people from netflix they got a new solution called netflix recommended where they're going to show you or tell you or certify certain televisions that they think give the best netflix experience including 4k remember netflix is one of the few ways to actually get 4k content on one of these new tvs we heard from the director of photography from the new daredevil series which will debut on netflix he showed us some exclusive clips was just a really cool experience all around if you haven't heard about OLED you need to know about it now this is the future of TV I realize that there's a lot of value in capturing the reaction which you really only get one shot at because in many ways that's that's the hardest part to fake if you're actually excited about something that comes through on camera at that very first moment before you even had a chance to collect your thoughts and figure out where you stand on something you start in that same place as the regular consumer I know that when I got into it I imagined it being a professional thing I i branded the channel as such I I saw an opportunity there for a more professional version of something that was already happening yes that's what I'm talking about that's the kind of mentality of I'm looking to them for me I did see a business side to it and I saw an opportunity to do it for a living so much of my channel and what I do online is a reflection of what I'm intuitive push it at at a given time I don't foresee myself ever falling out of love with whatever it is that's new and cool I've been that way since I was five years old the proliferation of social media means that people like me have transcended the space of content greater and become a relationship that audience members have there are times in my life where I recognized more responsibility and I think for a lot of people that that's where they would identify the adult portion of themselves but I think I try maybe I'm a nostalgic individual but I try my best to tap into the stuff that I found exciting the whole way along to not to not really forget the excitement associated with being being young or being or being a kid but I don't think in any moment I stopped and said well look at me I'm an adult now I don't think I ever had that moment I don't think I ever will you
