WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.280 Aputure's B7C lights are so cool. 00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:08.000 Their cinema grade LEDs produce extremely- God, we got some noise. 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.840 Uh, okay, take it again from the top. Aputure's B7C lights are so cool. 00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:16.200 Their cinema grade LEDs produce extremely 00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:19.200 natural skin tones. Damn it. 00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:23.320 It's been like this ever since we moved to the temporary ShortCircuit set. 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.220 Oh God, it was two years ago, wasn't it? We gotta do something about this. 00:00:28.220 --> 00:00:31.220 What are they doing up here? 00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:33.220 What the hell? 00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:37.220 Elijah! 00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:45.220 Elijah! Forget it. 00:00:45.220 --> 00:00:49.220 Guess we'll just have to wait till they're done. One minute. 00:00:49.220 --> 00:00:53.220 Which is perfect, because it gives us time to segue. To our sponsor. 00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:02.220 It really is true. 00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:06.220 There is no solution that's more permanent than a temporary solution. 00:01:06.220 --> 00:01:11.220 Which is why our ShortCircuit channel has been using this cramped temporary set in what used to be 00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:14.220 our logistics department for almost three years. 00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:17.220 It has some real challenges. 00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:20.220 It's right next to the main receiving door. 00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:26.220 Quiet on set! And it's directly underneath both the staff lounge 00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:30.220 and the tech link set, which as far as I can tell are populated by elephants! 00:01:30.220 --> 00:01:35.220 We've made it work. Still, ShortCircuit clearly needs a permanent home. 00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:39.220 And while I've been out of the office traveling, the team has been hard at work. 00:01:39.220 --> 00:01:43.220 They even tore down this very set while I was away. 00:01:43.220 --> 00:01:47.220 You know, I noticed there was an awful lot of green in here. 00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:51.220 And we're on the wrong floor. Can't sneak anything past you, boss. 00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:55.220 So let's go take a look at the new temporary home of ShortCircuit. 00:01:55.220 --> 00:01:58.220 Temporary? Yeah, well, I want it to last a long time. 00:01:58.220 --> 00:02:01.220 And, you know, there is no solution that's more permanent 00:02:01.220 --> 00:02:05.220 than a temporary solution. Wow, this is awesome! 00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:09.220 Why is it that LMG cannot resist building kitchens? 00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:13.220 Great question. And I'm glad you asked. It's not really related to your question, though. 00:02:13.220 --> 00:02:16.220 No, it's really not. Our team has done a ton of work, 00:02:16.220 --> 00:02:21.220 but we also need to give a big shout out to our friends at Aputure for supplying the amazing lighting package. 00:02:21.220 --> 00:02:24.220 We'll take a closer look at that in a couple minutes, though. 00:02:24.220 --> 00:02:27.220 It looks like we've actually kind of got three sets here, rather than just one. 00:02:27.220 --> 00:02:32.220 Three in one, even. You know, I wanted a more lived-in feeling space. 00:02:32.220 --> 00:02:35.220 You know, they're kind of like LTT has in their main sets in the studio. 00:02:35.220 --> 00:02:39.220 I wanted something with more variety in the backgrounds for a more, you know, natural living space. 00:02:39.220 --> 00:02:43.220 Also, it should be better for thumbnails than just like putting a big piece of styrofoam 00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:46.220 behind the host every time. Barely better. 00:02:46.220 --> 00:02:52.220 Why don't we take a look around? First up, we've got kind of a home office den kind of thing. 00:02:52.220 --> 00:02:56.220 Yeah, I think phase two will look a little different with this being a more living room kind of area 00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:59.220 with an office desk as well as a place for TVs and projectors. 00:02:59.220 --> 00:03:02.220 Cool. What are we going to call it? We've got to decide. People have been nagging me saying, 00:03:02.220 --> 00:03:07.220 what are we calling these sets? What are we calling these sets? And I say, Linus, he's a very particular man. 00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:10.220 I'm not the one who gets to name the sets. Oh, perfect. We'll name it Frank. 00:03:10.220 --> 00:03:13.220 If I was allowed to name the sets, we wouldn't have three sets called ShortCircuit set, 00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:16.220 and we wouldn't have two sets called apartment set, 00:03:16.220 --> 00:03:20.220 and we wouldn't have two sets called workshop. It's so confusing. 00:03:20.220 --> 00:03:23.220 So you don't like ShortCircuit apartment. 00:03:23.220 --> 00:03:27.220 Office. Whatever we end up calling it, this set's mainly going to be for the big items. 00:03:27.220 --> 00:03:30.220 Monitors, desks, full PCs, that kind of thing. 00:03:30.220 --> 00:03:34.220 In fact, this sick doom theme set up from Main Gear 00:03:34.220 --> 00:03:37.220 is going to be the first unboxing shot on this set, 00:03:37.220 --> 00:03:41.220 and it's over live on ShortCircuit right now. There's a couple of really cool little features 00:03:41.220 --> 00:03:45.220 that are going to help us keep it fresh over the probably years 00:03:45.220 --> 00:03:48.220 that we'll be using it if our current sets are anything to go by. 00:03:48.220 --> 00:03:52.220 This canvas is a really neat one. With this light, this Storm ADC up here, 00:03:52.220 --> 00:03:55.220 we can project basically anything we want on it, 00:03:55.220 --> 00:03:59.220 as long as it doesn't melt. You can see there's a little ShortCircuit logo on it right now, 00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:03.220 but I don't know. It's not doing anything. Turns out you're supposed to put those at the back. 00:04:03.220 --> 00:04:06.220 We'll figure it out. These are also cool. 00:04:06.220 --> 00:04:09.220 An IRL RGB ShortCircuit logo. 00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:12.220 Great woodworking. Oh, God, Rhys. 00:04:12.220 --> 00:04:16.220 Just because we're upgrading the sets doesn't mean we're completely changing the channel, though. 00:04:16.220 --> 00:04:19.220 Anything, I think we want to go a little bit more back to basics. 00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:23.220 ShortCircuit is supposed to be unboxings. It's not supposed to be over complicated. 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:27.220 So the idea is that when the host and the camera operator walk on to set, 00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:30.220 everything is pretty much good to go. 00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:35.220 No tweaking the lights, no playing around with the camera angles. We just slate and go. 00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:39.220 So what's involved in that? No media, so FTP ingestion, 00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:42.220 as well as one operator for all three cameras with a clear view of what they all see. 00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:45.220 So I can make sure everything's going well and they can see everything going on all at once. 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:49.220 We are looking at maybe upgrading that setup in the future, by the way, 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:53.220 with an editor also being on set, doing a live cut straight to the server 00:04:53.220 --> 00:04:58.220 that would then get refined into the final cut. But I don't know if it's going to work out 00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:03.220 because I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret. That is a more than decade old idea for Linus Media Group, 00:05:03.220 --> 00:05:06.220 and every time we've tried it, it's just kind of crashed and burned. 00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:10.220 If you actually look back at this ancient power supply unboxing, 00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:14.220 pay close attention to the cuts because that was done live to tape 00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:17.220 exactly the way that you guys are coming up with here. 00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:22.220 I wish us luck with it, though. It really is super efficient in theory. 00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:25.220 Hey, we're on the second set, though. Why don't we talk about this one? 00:05:25.220 --> 00:05:29.220 This is the main set used for most items, anything that doesn't need a specialty set. 00:05:29.220 --> 00:05:33.220 And it's key feature. It's got to be the glow wall made by Justin and Jordan. 00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:37.220 It's got this frosted look. It is reminiscent of the TV on the old set. 00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:40.220 We also upgraded our top-down setup. 00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:43.220 So now we can drag our top-down across the various sets, 00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:47.220 using this little rail right here, and we throw our old Fujinon lens on it 00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:50.220 so we can zoom way, way closer in 00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:55.220 onto smaller items that are being unboxed. It's going to be a really nice little upgrade. 00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:58.220 Oh, not nearly as nice as the lighting, though. 00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:01.220 Behind our frosted glass panel doors 00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:04.220 are four of Aputure's Infinibars. 00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:07.220 So these are basically RGBWW lights 00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:10.220 that are connectable into pretty much any shape you want 00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:13.220 with more than a dozen connector and mounting options. 00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:16.220 We've got two two-foot ones and two four-foot ones 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:21.220 that combined with this bounce here can give us any number of really cool-looking effects. 00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:25.220 And also, what a great little place to hide when I don't feel like doing work. 00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:30.220 Ah! It's even great for wardrobe changes. 00:06:30.220 --> 00:06:34.220 lttstore.com On the other sides of the set, we've got more lighting. 00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:39.220 In this case, NovaSoft panels. We've got a P300C and a P600C here. 00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:43.220 Each of these is adjustable from 2K to 10K for color temperature 00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:46.220 and they have full RGB lighting. 00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:49.220 This one is 600 watts and this one is 300 watts. 00:06:49.220 --> 00:06:52.220 It is worth noting that a new Nova2 line has come out 00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:55.220 while we've been working on this, which is even more better. 00:06:55.220 --> 00:07:01.220 It's brighter and has a few more bells and whistles, but realistically, we're not pushing these lights anywhere near their limits 00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:05.220 so we didn't really need them. Here's what they look like in action. 00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:09.220 Although they are getting a little bit of help. I mentioned the Storm ADC before. 00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:13.220 That's a point source light, but we actually have one of those on each of the sets 00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:20.220 acting as a hairlight. These support anywhere from 1.8K to 20,000K for color temperature 00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:23.220 and also support RGB and they output at 80 watts, 00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:26.220 making them actually great for running both on AC power 00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:30.220 as well as on battery as just a very convenient point source. 00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:33.220 And they're flicker-free unlike consumer LED bulbs. 00:07:33.220 --> 00:07:39.220 It matters a lot in production because if you start getting out-of-phase flickering from all your various lights on set, 00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:43.220 it's a nightmare. Oh, speaking of getting everything in phase, 00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:47.220 Belle's playing around with it right now, moving all the different sliders around, 00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:50.220 but this is our Cytus 4 and this thing is super cool. 00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:54.220 It's kind of like signal RGB for your computer system, 00:07:54.220 --> 00:07:59.220 but for sets, it allows you to take various ecosystems like DMX, CRMX, 00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:02.220 as well as even Bluetooth-managed lights 00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:06.220 and then sync them all up through this convenient app. 00:08:06.220 --> 00:08:10.220 Mwah. It deserves a kiss. And oh, it can even be battery-powered. 00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:14.220 So convenient. Oh, I guess we're on the third set. 00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:17.220 Want to tell us about it? This is the bar. We already have a kitchen, so... 00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:20.220 Yeah, are you telling me or asking me? Uh, both? 00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:24.220 There's also no sink, but don't look too closely. This is for our medium-sized item, 00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:28.220 so unboxing a PC or monitor starts here before moving to the office. 00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:32.220 Oh, we did borrow one thing from the kitchen set, though. 00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:36.220 Very cool idea. This desk, which is disguised as a kitchen island, 00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:39.220 was sent over by MotionGrey and is a sit-stand desk, 00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:42.220 which allows us to kind of unbox something small 00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:46.220 or, you know, spread out what we're doing and then go, oh, okay, 00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:49.220 but I want to be able to really manipulate this item and lift it up a little bit. 00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:54.220 Super convenient. And I can tell, we were way smarter about it than that other one. 00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:57.220 You can actually lower the desk all the way without breaking the side skirts. 00:08:57.220 --> 00:09:00.220 Hopefully. What else we got going on here? 00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:04.220 Well, let me tell you, we got a lot going on here, starting with the Hisense Canvas TV. 00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:08.220 We wanted a window, you know, some movement, some life, some beautiful here in this bar. 00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:11.220 Right, we wanted another idea stolen from LTT eight or nine years ago. 00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:15.220 Improved. The idea is that we'll have some window footage here 00:09:15.220 --> 00:09:18.220 that we've taken, or maybe you've submitted. Don't talk to yourself. 00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:21.220 We also have these nice statues provided by Teenage Engineering. 00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:24.220 Oh, yeah. We needed some set deck, they sent over some speakers, 00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:27.220 the mic. Oh, yeah, cool. These little guys? 00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:30.220 So cute. Yeah. Please tell me we didn't pay retail for them. 00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:33.220 Moving on. How much are these worth? Hold on, I'm going to guess. 00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:36.220 I'm going to guess. That's real wood. Yeah. 00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:41.220 Okay, hold on, hold on. Let me think, let me think. Okay, so Bluetooth speaker, that's got to be worth 20 bucks. 00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:44.220 Teenage Engineering, 200. Actual retail price? 00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:48.220 Oh, a little too low. Otherwise, just some fun set deck. 00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:51.220 We have doos and doos and kitchen clock, Ikea donuts. 00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:54.220 Did we actually go shopping for cookware? 00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:58.220 And these aren't cheap. Yes, they are. Yeah, they are, they are. 00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:01.220 But the piece de resistance, what, ties it all together? 00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:04.220 Whoa, whoa, that's a glass. We got to be careful. We got to be careful. 00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:07.220 We got to be careful in a little place. We paid a lot for those. Oh, what? 00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:10.220 That is the most expensive thing. What? Why? 00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:13.220 I said I needed it. What? When I got budget, Jakey gets what Jakey wants. 00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:16.220 How much should we spend on this? 00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:21.220 That's a countings problem. I know that this was a you initiative. 00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:25.220 Yes. A Peccari Sweat mini fridge. My girlfriend made it for me. 00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:28.220 Oh, so it's just a mini fridge with a Peccari Sweat sticker on it. 00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:32.220 Yes, and she made the sticker. And of course, we got to have Linus on set all the time. 00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:36.220 Tertiary Linus. If you want any more behind the scenes on the development of the set, by the way, 00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:41.220 LMG.GG slash Flow Plane. Alfred and Jordan sat down with Sammy to kind of talk through the process. 00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:47.220 According to Jordan, we missed something. Ah, okay, that's a lot less exciting than we made it seem, Jordan. 00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:50.220 He said there's a computer in the closet. I didn't say it was exciting. 00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:53.220 Well, okay, that's fair. Is this from Scrapyard Wars? 00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:57.220 Maybe. I think it is. This is from 2015. 00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:00.220 All it does is put footage of Windows on the TV. 00:11:00.220 --> 00:11:03.220 It doesn't have to be fancy. We talking about that picture or no? What's special about... 00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:07.220 Oh, oh, it's e-ink. That took me a second. 00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:10.220 This is the Inkjoy picture frame. It sure is. 00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:13.220 That's pretty cool. I made this. 00:11:13.220 --> 00:11:17.220 No, you didn't. She's right. Anything else we missed, Jordan? 00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:20.220 I think we're pretty good. I can think of something we missed. What's that? 00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:23.220 I've missed having an employee lounge. Where did it go? 00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:28.220 For now, a bunch of the pieces are in the corner where we shoved them to make room for the set. 00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:34.220 But the rest is apparently going to come down here where there used to be an item receiving desk, 00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:39.220 which is just simply not here anymore. And then we're also going to tear out the old ShortCircuit set, 00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:42.220 which, hey, we totally could have shot that intro on the set. 00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:45.220 Like it clearly hasn't actually been torn down yet. It's totally still here. 00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:50.220 Movie magic. Basically, it doesn't really matter what's here in the future, 00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:56.220 because the only production that an employee lounge or whatever else could possibly interfere with 00:11:56.220 --> 00:12:02.220 is the WAN Show, which is in this corner over here. And that only shoots once a week for three to five hours. 00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:06.220 So if we're being realistic, this will probably end up being a mixed use space, 00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:09.220 which leaves just one more thing. A big thank you to the build crew. 00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:12.220 More than 20 LMG staff worked on this in some capacity. 00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:16.220 And also a big thank you to our sponsor. If you guys enjoyed this video, go watch ShortCircuit. 00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:19.220 Their first videos on the new set should be up now. 00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:24.220 And I mean literally up. Like right there. Like right above me.
