WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240
Hey Flipplate, I'm here with our film production manager, Alfred, and we're going to take a little look behind the scenes

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.280
on the new ShortCircuit sets. Whoa!

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.400
Whoa, wait, that's so cool! This is my first time seeing all this.

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.120
I was hiding for months. I was avoiding the set for a few, like, five years.

00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:18.440
Thank you for not keeping it. And now you guys need to see it. Wait, this is actually cool.

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.520
So what you're actually looking at is three different sets,

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.000
right? For ShortCircuit people, you guys are going to know the main kind of set is here.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.120
We're planning to do, you know, our kitchen kind of products that we have over here.

00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.160
So like our ice cream video, any kind of, like, drinks,

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:38.360
we're going to do over here. And behind you, Sammy, is we're going to do our monitors.

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:42.520
We'll probably pull another desk here. We can have our monitor views as well.

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:49.480
What are some things that are cool about this set? Well, we have a very cool window over here.

00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:53.080
Oh, it's currently turned off, though. Hang on.

00:00:53.080 --> 00:00:59.000
Oh, it's a TV? Yeah, this is a high-sense cameras TV.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.760
So we can put on, like, loops of whatever outdoor show kind of thing we want from YouTube or wherever.

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.960
Did you make this? I didn't make the TV, I'm sorry. Oh, no, I meant the frame.

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:12.200
Yeah, we did the frame and the curtains and everything. Whoa.

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.080
So what was the inspiration for these three sets? I think that's more of an Alfred question.

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:21.080
Well, obviously, this one was for kitchen content, right?

00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:24.600
The big one. And then, obviously, our regular tech kind of views over here.

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.680
But the inspiration actually came from our channel manager

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.440
Bell's favorite kind of colors. He really likes green.

00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:37.600
That's why we went with a green motif here as well. And the complementary color to that was purple as well.

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:42.360
So we took that and we kind of put it lightly in the background so you can see that it's going to brighten things

00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:47.600
up as well. A nice little touch. I don't know if you've noticed this, Sammy, but this tile

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:50.840
work that we have here. That's true.

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:56.120
Yeah, look at that. So a little hidden montage to ShortCircuit to give it that

00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:01.440
kind of view and that vibe as well. So yeah, that was the kind of inspiration for this set.

00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:05.320
Bell's kind of favorite colors. This one, we wanted to.

00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:10.960
Wait, wait, wait, we got to see TV first. We got to see TV. The TV, yeah, we're in Alaska right now.

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:16.280
We built our cabin right next to the river. Wait, would it look like when it's closed?

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.680
Is it like translucent? No. Oh, I was hoping it was translucent.

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.120
That would have been cool. That cost extra.

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.800
When it costs less, because it's less material? Maybe.

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.520
You may have a point. And then we also have a computer hooked up to that so we can

00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:39.080
do whatever we want to display on there if we need to as well. Besides the custom tile work, a lot of these things were

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.960
kind of sourced by Bell for decorating here as well.

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.920
So Bell's done a great job adding his kind of final touches.

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:53.120
He's doing his own kind of set deck. We'll have more over time, I'm sure, as well, and you'll

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.440
get more lived in. Exactly, and we're still doing touch-ups.

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:01.960
Look at that, everybody. We're still doing touch-ups. Faux counter that we're going to move right under the rail

00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.360
so we can get it. And this goes up and down, as you know as well.

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.440
Kind of like our other kitchen set downstairs. We can elevate this to a taller host, lower it if we need to

00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:14.840
as well for some of our shorter hosts as well.

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.760
Like Linus. What else you see?

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:25.560
You kind of see on here as well. We'll fix this for cameras. But the other upgrade that we have here, and a big shout out

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.520
to Aputure, if you notice, we got some new gear from them.

00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.440
And if you even look up, we have some infinity bars as well.

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:38.080
That's kind of new tech. And the really cool thing about them is they got magnets.

00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.520
Magnets. Again, I'm not tall enough, but I can just go up there and pop

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.560
them up there. Even Reese could probably do it as well. He's probably tall enough.

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:50.440
Wow, there's no magnets up there right now. Those are already secured. Do you want to see how perfect it fits as well?

00:03:50.440 --> 00:03:54.840
Reese, can you grab me a ladder and we'll just do a demo? How long have you been working on this, Alfred?

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.360
It's been like months, right? Yeah, it's been probably about two months that we, when we

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.800
kind of first started. Right here, we'll just show as well.

00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.040
So you'll see that this is a magnet. And the reason why we want with this is because we knew that

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:10.960
we had this drop ceiling. And we knew that it would be low profile.

00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:17.680
Like as you can see, we still needed some big key lights. But if you look at this, what we really like about this is

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.680
just that we can just snap it anywhere. Look at that. Whoa.

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.840
That's a pretty cool feature as well. So we can turn them on.

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:29.000
We can all daisy chain them together with our wonderful

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.960
app, excuse me. And then we will have them up here to light the set as well.

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:38.920
Or give it a little accent color as well. That is so freaking cool.

00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.240
And if you look behind you, those same bars is what

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:47.800
Jordan is talking about right now. So I know that a lot of the ShortCircuit people love that

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.600
TV in the background. We wanted to mimic this as well.

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.560
Same kind of effect with those infini bars. So those just open up.

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.640
I thought it would be like this big room. Exciting, right?

00:04:59.640 --> 00:05:04.840
No, no, it's just like a foot worth of bump out basically. And we got some storage in there, basically.

00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:08.360
No, the magic. Movie magic.

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.600
I've been waiting so long to see this. Oh my god.

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.960
Because we push this shoot like three times.

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:20.480
And I'll show you what else we got going on here as well. This one also has some lights besides the one in here.

00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.640
We have these from Aputure. This is called the B7C.

00:05:25.640 --> 00:05:30.120
And C stands for color as well. And they can be individually controlled.

00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.280
And they'll match the color temperature or give it surprise. So you look in our fixtures.

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:38.320
The cool thing about these, they are wireless. Look, they're not even plugged in.

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:43.240
So they have their own battery. But if we have these fixtures, if you look up here, Sammy,

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.320
we can control them. And they're also charged at the same time.

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:50.800
Oh, those are the same ones? Yeah. So we got about a set of eight of them, I believe.

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.920
Well, that will do for RGB and everything. You betcha. So we'll be putting these around as well, even in here.

00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.120
Our lamps. As well. And then we can look at that as well.

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.240
So that's another big feature. Another thing that you'll see in terms of upgrades

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.520
in Aputure as well, we have some spot lights up here.

00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:12.720
So we can shine the light here, use gobos as well,

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.000
and give our hosts some separation from the background

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.040
as well, giving them a rim light as well, or a hair light with some of the storms that we have here.

00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.400
All of it is going to be controlled by this, our last item on the set as well.

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:30.760
So our big panels that you see, the infinity bars,

00:06:30.760 --> 00:06:34.480
our storms for hair lights, and even on the light fixtures,

00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.600
all going to be controlled by this baby right here.

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:41.560
So this is an Aputure gift to us as well.

00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.760
It's called Citus4. It's going to communicate, create a network for this set

00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:49.240
and all the lights that are on here, so we can control them using an app.

00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.920
And it's over here. We're still getting it all set up and synced up.

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:59.320
But what it looks like here, Sammy.

00:06:59.320 --> 00:07:03.280
And sorry for the fingerprints. We're going to need a cleaner on here.

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:07.800
But yeah, we can look at all the fixtures, and we can just individually pump them up or not as well.

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:12.160
Oh, similar to the one that we have downstairs on. Yeah, similar to the one. But this is all branded from Aputure,

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.400
and this keeps it on the same network. Downstairs, it uses Wi-Fi, so there's

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:22.440
a lot of different kind of interference that we have. But this uses Wi-Fi and also Bluetooth, I believe.

00:07:22.440 --> 00:07:26.400
Definitely Bluetooth for sure. For separate networks, it can do at the same time. And it's crazy.

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:29.640
It's way more than we need, but it's fantastic for this. You betcha.

00:07:29.640 --> 00:07:33.640
And if you can see behind me, if you look. I don't know if Sammy, if this is,

00:07:33.640 --> 00:07:37.840
you got the dynamic range, but we can control it here as well.

00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:42.200
Turn it on, off, and we can group them all together if we need to as well.

00:07:42.200 --> 00:07:45.440
So yeah. It's nice because it's all in one system rather than 12

00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:49.160
ecosystems. Correct. Yeah. Everything's branded Aputure here.

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.520
Even our Amaran line, we don't have that here.

00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:57.760
Everything here is Aputure as well. And pretty much, call it like 90% of the work

00:07:57.760 --> 00:08:02.560
has been done just by LTT staff or LMG staff, I guess,

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.880
whatever you want to call it. Great incorporation. Lots of people volunteering to come and not

00:08:06.880 --> 00:08:10.600
do their actual work for a couple hours and come help us out.

00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:15.520
The kitchen install was all done by Reese and Nicole

00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:19.760
and a bunch of other people. We'll have a panelist somewhere, I'm sure. Yeah, I saw some photos.

00:08:19.760 --> 00:08:24.080
The only thing we really had help with was what painters and building the wall.

00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:27.640
Yeah. So they did something. Yeah, this is new. Yeah.

00:08:27.640 --> 00:08:32.880
This is two different tones. This one's just a little bit darker than here as well,

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:39.080
to give it a little bump out, a little separation. Yeah, and the wall over there for future expansion.

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.200
We've got ideas and plans for over there as well. Do you want to give us a sneak preview?

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.000
A sneak preview. Well, you have to look inside my mind.

00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:51.400
But like this camera testing, might bring that to ShortCircuit.

00:08:51.400 --> 00:08:54.880
And we'll probably do camera testing lengthwise along this wall as well.

00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:59.520
So we'll get up. This deep kind of field to take a shot of.

00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:05.040
There's been ideas about dartboards, foos table,

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:08.480
up to bells kind of decor. And we'll put it all there.

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:13.840
And it'll be consistent, so we can get a consistent rack focus or depth of field as well for camera testing

00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.280
and lens testing. There's nobody upstairs to stomp on the floor above us

00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:21.440
anymore. Yeah, I think that was the biggest issue with ShortCircuit.

00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.760
Because at 12.30, it'd be the noisiest time. Yeah.

00:09:24.760 --> 00:09:29.520
That shows. Yeah, so moving our set from downstairs to up here,

00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:35.000
we eliminated that noise of people. And then also our HVAC and our air conditioning unit

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:40.560
that was right there as well. It used to hum like mad. It's still a little bit, but it's a lot less competition

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:46.520
for noise and noise pollution. So better that, I guess, finally ShortCircuit gets a home.

00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:50.000
Finally, it's been, what, three years? A temporary home for three years.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:55.760
And now they actually have a home as well for ShortCircuit. So we're glad to welcome Bell and all you ShortCircuit

00:09:55.760 --> 00:09:59.720
people. And you can see these three different sets in the future,

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.200
I guess, for all the videos. Well, depart from here, and we can take a look at some

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.120
of the designs that we had. So I don't know if you guys know this,

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.200
but Jordan used to be, I guess, a draftsman.

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.800
And he actually did these designs on what program was it?

00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:18.640
Fusion? Yeah, fusion. So this was the initial design.

00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:22.080
As you can see, it's pretty close, right, Sammy? Basically, it is a one point replicate.

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:27.520
It just got purple-er. Yeah. So when we went to go and source our materials,

00:10:27.520 --> 00:10:35.520
that's when we kind of introduced some more themes, right? At this point, there was no kind of color matching or branding.

00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:39.720
So when we asked Bell what we thought, and definitely in our ShortCircuit logo,

00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:44.520
we have seen some of this as well. So we pulled elements from that to put in here,

00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:50.760
and with Bell's influence of colors as well. So matching the browns with the greens and the greens

00:10:50.760 --> 00:10:55.120
with the purples. And this was, you know, we sourced a lot of stuff from Ikea,

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:58.520
and then we custom-made our custom tile from Dell Tile,

00:10:58.520 --> 00:11:03.160
and then just put all these elements here. So each one wanted to give a different kind of motif and theme.

00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:06.560
Definitely green over on the kitchen, as you can see.

00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:11.120
Purple and that background that they have, we wanted to emulate that with our barn doors

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.120
slash kind of closet and our see-through. And Jordan did all that work right there.

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.120
That's his handiwork, not only just making our plans here

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.160
and drafting them up, but he actually- I'll call him Justin too.

00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:27.880
You betcha. You should show you also Alfred's other ShortCircuit logo.

00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:30.880
Wait, oh, that one there in the corner? Yeah.

00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:35.680
It's hidden, man. You actually have to look for it. Yeah, so we wanted to make it subtle,

00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:39.680
just in case we want to use this, you know, the set for other kind of purposes.

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:44.840
So we wanted to make it subtle enough that our true kind of insiders would know it was ShortCircuit.

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.040
But you'll notice that this shelf space as well. Oh, wait, I didn't see that!

00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:51.240
Yeah, it's also another homage to ShortCircuit.

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.760
And we'll probably pump lights out of here as well, so you can kind of get that effect as well.

00:11:55.760 --> 00:12:00.600
Now I'm looking out everywhere. So yeah, we have to save some things. We can't just show you everything right now.

00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:06.200
So we got to save some things for LTT. This one going for more like a dark motif as well.

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.240
And this is supposed to kind of emulate, this is coming from a patio,

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:14.920
so we'll turn a light from this side as well. Pretending that this whole set is the new apartment,

00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:20.040
I guess, for a ShortCircuit, right? You got your dining or now you got your nook or den, right?

00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:23.400
Where you kind of work. You got your kind of dining area,

00:12:23.400 --> 00:12:26.480
where your main kind of living room set, and then you got your kitchen.

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.680
So mimicking an apartment. And that's the fake kind of magic.

00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:35.600
We need a hallway right there. Exactly, right? But look at this.

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.600
And hallway gone as well.

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.400
Do you plan on expanding more that way or is this kind of?

00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:47.600
No, I think this is more sound separation. So as you know, we have a different set over there

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.520
for TechLinked. But this is more for sound separation as well.

00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:55.520
Trying to dampen the noise that comes from over there. And people can still use the washroom.

00:12:55.520 --> 00:13:00.080
But this area where the Pantone wall was or is,

00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.720
we will probably use for storage, for ShortCircuit items as well.

00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:08.880
So this wall will get cleared out as well. And this area will be kind of like a holding kind of area,

00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:12.360
where we have items. Are you guys also going to decorate the downstairs

00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.880
to the now lounge? Mm.

00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:19.640
It's a hole in there. It's a hole in there. Come back a couple of months for that one.

00:13:19.640 --> 00:13:23.120
He's going to have to do more drafting work. Oh, actually, off topic.

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.320
I heard about this story. Bell made an idea, first, on Sims.

00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:32.080
I did not hear that, did you? I did not hear that either. Thank you, Flow Plane viewers, for coming for a little sneak

00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:36.200
peak and advanced view of our ShortCircuit set.

00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.520
And check out the LTT. We'll have a full set tour of Linus and Bell

00:13:40.520 --> 00:13:44.600
going through everything. And stay tuned for more short circuits.

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.160
You bet.
