 Alright, it is... What a... Meetup day! So, uh... We did a straw pool trying to find out exactly how many people are gonna be here today and Apparently like 500 people replied. We were a little bit worried about that Although 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 did not see the signs on the front of the building Luke and I are doing tours at the new office over there. This is the garage sale lineup and Someone brought Krispy Kremes. That's super awesome. We have a keep on digging t-shirt for you Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna get the tour started the bay is gonna be open in a second and thank you all for coming we'll be kind of coming out and and kind of hanging out and all that kind of stuff and 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 gonna try and do one right away We're gonna be doing two live unboxings 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 drove or flow to be here. You guys are unbelievable The ones who walked Whatever Okay, so we're gonna go get to her 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 Wow there's more of you to be expected Here do you want a name tag? Sure. So these people showed up for the tour All this is just sitting here You're right Can sign my Thing sure. What is it? It's my here. This is the shortest line the shortest line with the smartest line Lights I'm gonna film this tour. Everyone can have the experience of a tour. Hello. Hey, alright, okay everyone come on This Ray 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 in on the right are our storage closet and the Linus sanity closet The sanity closet contains anything Linus 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 Everywhere I spent about three hours finding this do you want to know what's special about it? High profile ram Extended ATX motherboard This one does standard with ram install but it was like 60 bucks I was like, were you gonna 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 ergonomics like we couldn't afford this kind of stuff in the early days of Linus Media Group like straight up they have a smoother action Finer control and they have presets so we absolutely love these these are up desks. Oh, yeah We also upgraded all of our chairs. So everyone this was actually provided by Max nomic and up desk. Those guys are awesome So they gave us one super comfy racing chair for everyone in the company. So they're definitely This is gonna be the workshop so this will be anything like hey We're doing like a weird mod or we're building a PC or we're Competing to see who can like mod the best PC they built some variation of scrap yard wars PCs. Yes, exactly Scrapyard wars scrapyard wars So we are going to actually equip it with actual tools Cover our pegboard get the drill presses and stuff like this my idea by the way, remember? Thank You Taryn Yes, I wanted to be able to work on actual stuff at work over here is gonna be the WAN show So I believe these metal sheets are gonna be part of the painstakingly crafted Reclaimed wood backdrop here. So these pallets were all hand disassembled with the nails and removed by none other than Justin who is here somewhere They were slapped up onto the wall by our carpenter and this is gonna be the WAN show from now on This is our new green screen. So I don't know how many of you are like film guys or camera guys or anything like that, but Are any of you filmer 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 gonna be using Rosco green screen paint which actually manages the bounce light and scatters it in a very predictable way What else is important? Distance Distance That's the big one That's the big one. Our old green screen setup was This is about how much distance we had between the shooter and cameras in front of you mind you 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 Oh sure tell them. Yeah, you're gonna get that view. 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 gonna be standing way the crap out here We're gonna have a camera set up about at that rack next to Harry Potter's closet under the stairs You're gonna be able to do full body height green screening because we have this fancy pants That was my idea and we're gonna paint the field green as well. Thank you, Tarrant So we will be able to do anything with our fancy new green screen This will be the Linus Tech Tip set and the reason it's so big 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 you 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 and a TV in the background. We shoot this way. Maybe it's something else and we shoot this way Whoa ideas So Brandon has been begging for a way to Cart around well, this is an empty one So it's less of a good example But to cart around his C stands 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 part. 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 if we're paying for it or not 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 Problem with like the shelves in the wall 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 jib The filming guys probably know what that is. But basically it's a big long arm with a camera at the end of it You could be like It's like crazy shots with it So Brandon actually has his new jib ordered it is here and he is ready to start playing around with it as soon as he can What exactly he's doing with this wall Alina Sebastian custom wall. Oh that thing Oh no way Yeah, yeah, give him the box There you go. I got a box. All right. Okay. So I'm actually gonna switch sides on you guys. We're not quite done yet This is the super fun shelf. So pretty much everything you've seen on channel super fun 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 Wow, 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 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 calls for a 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 super fun 100,000 subscriber Plac from YouTube. We've actually got all three of the silver plaques here Okay So this over here is going to be Linus's special corner the one 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 We got we got a joker on the tour this time We got a smart guy Yes, we'll put it on the wall So yeah, this is where I'm gonna work on stuff whenever it doesn't fit in my office which May happen from time to time. So this is the 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 a four-vention fiber line a little we're going to be upgrading this on sometime early next week These are switches gigabit 10 gig for all the editing workstations This is our surveillance server and dedicated swing Uh, 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 about 10 gigabytes per second of sequential reads and sequential writes. Okay so this is where Legitimately pretty much all of the magic happens. This is the editing den Um, so all these workstations are pretty much state of the art 4960x6 core 32 gigs of ram except eddie Especially get 64 gigs for some reason we ended up actually using the capabilities of the titan x by accident So our new editing workflow has us converting everything to a codec called cineform 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. It 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 lg Can't say enough about these guys. They actually provided 12 of them. Uh, so the last thing is upstairs This is our old janky green screen. This is what we've been using in the meantime while we set up that So basically we got evicted from our old place I don't know if any of you have been following on social media But that's how it went down We were operating a business out of a residential property and the city to our 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 Uh, so this is where our sales team sits None of this happens without the the hard work and dedication of you know people who want to get on the phone with square space or dollar shave club or whoever else and Uh 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 Um, a lot of people don't understand like how time consuming and how expensive it is. I'll come out there for this Um how time consuming and how expensive it is to make video? um well quality video and How time consuming and expensive it is to start a team around you to make video? So 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 and 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 Changing storage Come on guys. You gotta give me the reaction Um, okay my office is to the left and then that pretty much completely the tour right now It's full of random view all stuff. Like I said, this is all very temporary. There's our main camera in there sony fs 700 Now I say cameras aren't expensive. I meant in the context of running a business I didn't mean they're not expensive That puppy's 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 60 fps And it can do sustained 1080p slo-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 really enjoy that camera. We we heart that camera so very much A lot of other things sony does not a big fan Glad we invested in mining minus endorsement Something that the building inspector insisted that we have instead of a fire pole Okay, the 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 gonna take my group through Oh, wow, the tours 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 when you're doing the filming No, yeah, I know you've seen that. Yeah, i've seen it. I like your hair I think you're my hair is pretty foofy. Yeah, give me five minutes in five minutes. I will return to this spot Okay, so guys register here It's hard being the boss All right, thank you What am I doing right now right unboxing yes Is Travis 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. Can I write dick butt on there? Is that dick butt? Nope. That's not something I would do. Put it right next to me. Uh, if you can draw it well it's sure go ahead. What can I just do? Hashtag dick butt? $50. I only have $20. Such a troll ad. Sign this. You gotta put your faces in the top of the frame. Top of the frame. Yeah like that. See there you go. Yeah that's how you take pictures of people. And then take multiple pictures. And that way you get the best. That works. Cool dude. Thanks for coming man. Yeah I came from Iowa. Really? Yeah. Holy crap. Nice shirt. I have the same one. Um, okay. I need the actual item I'm unboxing. Oh short. Socks and sandals. What? Like I can barely even figure out how I just plugged all these things in. Oh get outta here.
