all right it is what happened meet-up day
so uh we did a straw poll trying to find out
exactly how many people are gonna be here today
and uh 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 uh 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 going to be open in a second and thank you all for coming we'll be kind of coming out in and kind
of hanging out and all that kind of stuff and uh yes sorry we wish we were more organized
but you guys knew this coming into this i hope um oh yeah there's going to 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 whatever okay so we're gonna go get tour started
thanks guys
Intel is bringing ddr4 to the mainstream with their core i7 6700k and core i5
6600k processors check the link in the video description to learn more
that's going in i want some music
wow there's more of you to be expected taryn do you want a name tag sure so so
these people showed up for the tour and the garage sale has a lot bigger of
a line all this feeling is just sitting here
oh you're right can you sign my um thing sure what is it
it's my computer this is the shortest line this is the
shortest line with the smartest line this guy's cool
lions i'm gonna film this tour so everyone can have the experience of a
tour hello hey all right okay everyone come on in come on i apologize for the
pink smell this uh gray 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 way too much stuff everywhere
i spent about three hours finding this do you want to know what's special about
it it will fit high profile RAM
extended atx motherboard wow
this one does standard with RAM installed but it was like 60 bucks i was like well
you're 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 cards
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 updesk 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 last media group like straight up they have a
smoother action finer control and they have presets so
we we absolutely love these these are objects so yeah we also upgraded all of
our chairs so everyone this was actually provided by max nomik and updesk these
guys are awesome so they gave us one super comfy racing chair for everyone in
the company so they're definitely cool dudes uh come on out into the warehouse
guys 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 to some
variation of the screen wars pcs yes exactly scrap yard wars
grab yard wars so we are going to actually equip it
with actual tools um cover our pegboard get you know drill
presses and stuff like that that's my idea by the way remember thank you taryn
yes glad he's here i wanted to be able to work on actual stuff at work over
here is going to be the lanchow so i believe these metal sheets are going to
be part of the painstakingly crafted
reclaimed wood backdrop here so these pallets were all hand disassembled with
the nails hand removed by none other than justin who is here somewhere um
they were slapped up onto the wall by our carpenter and this is going to be
the lanchow 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 uh 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
flat myth and in terms of the finish of the surface so we're going to be using
rosco green screen paint which actually
manages the bounced light and scatters it in a very predictable way what else
is important this is distance
that's the big one yeah our old green screen setup was
was about how much distance we had between the shooter and cameras in front
of you mind you the 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
yeah you're gonna get that view yes you know that that godly halo that i have
around me in all of our fastest possible videos
it's not on purpose it's 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 going to be standing away the crap
out here we're going to have a camera set up about at that rack next to harry
potter's closet under the stairs we are going to be able to do full body height
green screening because we have this fancy pants curve built into the bottom
here that was my idea and we're going to paint the face as well thank you taryn
um so we will be able to do anything with our fancy new green screen
this will be the Linus technician and the reason it's so big is for a couple
of reasons number one it is constructed of modular panels um it's just in a in a
space like this who knows we might want to completely
you know reconfigure what it looks like uh 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 you this way whoa ideas so brandon
has been begging for a way to uh 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 uh and this is the flag part this is
funny we have two c-stand carts because our carpenter accidentally built two of
these instead of one of those so now we have an extra we're still not
sure if we're paying for it or not there you go uh 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 um originally my solution was
luke's workbench back in the garage days and then our second solution was
uh room with like the shells in the wall and it just never limits 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 uh 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 can be like
simply 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
yeah yeah give them the box there you go check out the box all right
uh 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 uh 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 calls for a metal
reinforced keyboard and 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 used 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 uh plaque from youtube we've actually
got all three of the silver plaques here okay so this over here is gonna 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 yeah on the wall that's i'm just going to show you we got we got
a joker on the tour this time we got a smart guy ah 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 uh 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 uh this is our router for aforementioned
fiber line although we're going to be upgrading this on
sometime early next week these are our switches gigabit
10 gig for all the editing workstations 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 rights 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 4960x six core 32
gigs of RAM except eddie especially gets 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 us 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 accelerated 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 voice over 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 ah 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 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 so this is where our sales team sits uh
none of this happens without the the hard work and dedication of you know
people who want to get on the phone with squarespace or dollar shave club or
whoever else and 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 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 videos
um well quality videos 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 this is 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 taking storage
come on guys you got to give me the reaction
um okay my office is to the left and then that pretty much completes the tour
right now it's full of random fuel stuff like i said this is all very temporary
there's our main camera in there sony fs700 now i say cameras aren't expensive
i meant in the context of running a business i didn't mean they're not expensive uh that puppy is 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 60fps and it can do sustained 1080p
slow-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 shining Linus endorsements
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
going to take my group through oh wow the tours are oh my goodness
bananas 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 actually when you're doing the filming
lots of videos no yeah i've seen me in there yeah i've seen it i like your hair
why thank you for watching my hair is pretty cool
give me five minutes in five minutes i will return to this spot okay so guys
let's just kind of be here it's hard being the boss
all right
what am i doing right now right unboxing yes
almost everybody
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
here did i write your big fight on there that
dick butt nope that's not something i would do put it right next uh if you can
drive well it should go ahead and i just use hashtag
you got to put your faces in the top of the frame yeah like that see there you go yeah
that's how you take pictures of people yeah 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 sure
what like i can barely even figure out how elena's plugged all these things in
oh get out of here you know what's interesting about this
