so I guess this is the first time we've actually
0:03
shown where the new Linus Media Group headquarters is going to be
0:10
um let's take a look inside shall
0:21
we Intel's new 750 series ssds utilizing
0:25
the NVMe standard provide speeds never before seen on consumer storage Drive
0:30
click my hair to learn
0:33
more first of all that's the bathroom so
0:37
I found out that plumbing super expensive so we've gone with a much more
0:42
economical solution right by the front door that way our visitors can use it
0:46
our staff can step outside get some fresh air momentarily before they
0:50
experience that air and use that great strategy right who cleans it no one what
0:57
you clean a porta potty you just uh Dr it out into the rest of the complex and
1:02
someone else will deal with
1:07
it I don't know where the key is I hope I have the key are there people in there
1:12
like are they working maybe we can get in some other way yeah so I forgot the
1:17
front door locks actually don't work so we have to go around the back uh this is
1:21
really cool so Brandon had a veritable
1:25
nerd gasm when he saw this place because
1:28
this is only I don't know 30 Paces from our back door it looks like it's going
1:33
to have some kind of a water feature or something here so this is going to be
1:37
like b-roll Central between all the
1:41
greenery back here that in theory is going to be landscaped at some point and
1:46
this you know brick SLG gravel slash
1:50
whatever concrete fixtures they're planning to put in there should be
1:54
really cool like just a really neat place to
1:58
film all right so there it is I actually
2:02
haven't set foot in here since
2:06
um since what happened since they sprayed it so I haven't actually seen
2:12
the skeleton of what will be the office
2:15
yet why don't I turn on the lights and then we'll uh we'll go from
2:19
there still kind of stinks in here not nearly as bad as it was right when they
2:23
finished spraying so you have got to be kidding
2:29
me who does something like
2:42
this okay well one of the things I'm supposed to do while I'm here is see if
2:46
this has dried yet uh it does seem to be a little bit
2:52
maybe a little bit Dam it seems mostly dry actually so we had a big problem um
2:57
the dampness in the cellulose sprayon
3:00
material here caused it to be extremely
3:03
humid in here which caused the wood framing for some of our sets to warp so
3:09
these have been torn down and actually need to be rebuilt so actually since
3:15
since you've got a wider view of the place right now sets are pretty much
3:19
going to be set up around the perimeter so we're going to have a lot more
3:23
variety in terms of what we can do for sets and I'm speaking up to talk to the
3:27
camera but I'm actually labbed so I don't have to do that um and then the
3:30
office itself is actually going to be that entire Corner over over there so uh
3:37
we have we have a a pretty a pretty good plan in place so far storage is going to
3:41
be kind of this middle area here uh this
3:45
corner right over here is going to be like a work shoy type set this corner
3:49
right here is going to be the low right here is going to be to be
3:55
determined right here on the other side of these doors is going to be a massive
3:59
green screen something you guys probably don't know is that when I'm talking in
4:03
front of the green screen now I have to keep my arms within like I
4:08
have to kind of have T-Rex arms because if I put them out too far my hands get
4:12
chopped off because I'm at the edge of our green screen so we're going to have a ginormous green screen that goes all
4:16
the way down to my feet so we could do all kinds of fun stuff with that uh I
4:21
think it's going to be 12 ft high at
4:25
least 10 I think it's 10 or 12T high and then it's actually theyed used to be
4:30
markings on the floor but it's from here
4:33
to about I want to say here yeah it's massive it's going to be
4:39
freaking awesome uh over here is Brandon's b-roll set and then over here
4:44
is sort of 2B 2B determined I can't
4:47
believe they're leaning stuff up against this
4:51
wall so Ed's filming and he keeps whining about how it smells bad and it's
4:56
humid in here so I guess we'll open up one of the bay doors so these will use
5:00
for you know whenever we get a palletized
5:05
shipment of something which has only happened once ever so probably we won't
5:10
use these a whole lot but there you go we have bay doors in case we ever happen
5:15
to need them fresh air that's what we want them
5:24
for definitely helps with the air situation
5:33
it feels toxic in here yeah it
5:37
does all right so why don't we do a quick tour of the actual office space
5:41
then this is the server room she don't look like much but uh at
5:48
some servers yeah I know where's the room well they're both
5:56
coming um this right here is the editing
5:59
d so you can see that's why there is so much electrical and networking coming
6:04
into this place so we've got all of these conduits for wiring we've got lots
6:10
of electrical boxes so it's going to be set up to have three workstations per
6:15
side and then easy access to filming outside in the warehouse so there's
6:19
going to be another wall like kind of herish I want to
6:23
say yeah must be I don't know I'm gonna I'm going to guess
6:27
here um so heish that's going to be the
6:30
editing Den um on that side I guess yeah
6:34
let's let's go right over here so here is going to be the benchmarking area so
6:38
this is going to be Luke and uh someone else's sort of place to hang out and
6:43
Benchmark stuff it's going to have some storage area there's a storage closet
6:47
kind of somewhere over here yeah this must be it so there's a storage closet
6:51
under the stairs um the bathroom I
6:54
believe is I want to say oh I don't know
6:58
where the bathroom went well the bathroom will be somewhere presumably maybe this is the
7:02
bathroom that's kind of a weird layout but I did know that it was a weird
7:05
layout and I think it was sort of an error in the uh in the plans that had
7:10
caused that to happen maybe this is the storage closet at any rate uh this over
7:14
here is going to be the library so the library is just going to be kind of a a
7:18
quiet place to work for people who want to sit and work quietly without being
7:22
interrupted by others oh look Network wiring has been run I had asked for cat
7:27
6A let's see if they manag to do that
7:32
it's thick I'll give him that oh no wait
7:36
no that's power never mind it was round so I thought maybe
7:44
Ethernet all right so let's head
7:47
upstairs wow the air actually has a a
7:50
thickness to it wow there is way less
7:54
Echo up here that's interesting
8:00
hello hello
8:05
huh fascinating well up
8:08
here I think this this right here is the
8:13
bathroom upstairs um and then the rest of the
8:16
upstairs is TBD because we have no idea
8:19
what's going to go up here what we do know for now is
8:24
that you will be able to access wow this
8:27
is kind of eerie when there's a handrail on this this will feel a lot safer and
8:32
there will be um but you'll have easy access to the warehouse from here
8:35
through a hallway and then you'll have access to the office from there and the
8:40
rest of it is completely up in the air we have no idea what we're going to put up here so I think that's pretty much it
8:46
