so you might have noticed at some point over the last little pile here that that
0:03
ugly wall that turns my skin orange in our videos is gone and it's been
0:08
replaced by our new set but what you
0:12
also might have noticed is that our new set is super dirty well our friends at
0:17
Dyson noticed so they sent us over the brand-new Dyson cyclone v10 so that we
0:23
can clean it up and take you guys for a little tour of our new space so look
0:32
it's not how you're supposed to do that lock and load and come along for the
0:37
ride we're gonna clean up and show you guys around pass sounds like a ray gun
0:57
so let's start by meeting the v10 this
1:01
right here is the design that made James Dyson look like like that James Dyson go
1:09
to his team and say you know what guys all these other upright corded vacuums
1:14
blown up we're not gonna develop corded vacuums anymore forget about it this is
1:18
it this is the future I mean he's 70 and British so he probably didn't say it
1:24
quite like that but this the sentiment is the same compared to their last gen
1:29
it's got longer battery life up to 60
1:32
minutes of fade-free power and thanks to the new digital motor that spins at a
1:35
whopping 125,000 RPM it even provides
1:39
20% more suction than the v8 making it their fastest vacuum cleaner motor to
1:44
date and it accelerates to that in just half a second 40% more capacity in here
1:50
it's got a one-piece cleanable filter so you just pop that out run it under the
1:53
sink little kind of british looking faucets on there it's also easier to
1:58
clean and you don't need much force to open it up and do their thing there yeah
2:03
it's easy like that and of course it includes a bazillion and one accessories
2:09
so let's get our tour started let's go
2:12
in let's go in handheld mode here right
2:17
let's start outside so out here you can
2:21
actually see some hints of the old design
2:28
not bad so behind me other than the
2:31
green screen wall pretty much everything has changed actually even the green
2:36
screen wall has changed if you look closely enough so this used to go about
2:40
two three feet further that way but what we actually had to do was cut the wall
2:46
off and then we took this wall right here and like by actually like kicking
2:51
it over moved it about two to three feet this way so the other side of this one
2:56
is what used to be that orange wall and is now the inner wall of the living room
3:02
so we'll go in there in a minute but first I want to show you guys what we're doing with the outside so you can see
3:07
right there we changed our minds about 12-foot high walls and then we ended up
3:12
changing to 10-foot high walls so we have just kind of like a weird thing you
3:15
can also see where the cable management comes in there's networking running
3:19
right there in an armored conduit along the roof because that allows us to avoid
3:24
the more complicated permitting process for permanent structures so the idea of
3:30
doing exterior siding here which by the way vertical siding is a thing that
3:34
people do was that if we wanted to do like a you know honey I'm home type of
3:39
shot it wouldn't be immediately obvious as long as we move that orb that we are
3:46
not in a real house look at all this dust
3:53
also on the outside we've got a little bit of storage so some lighting
3:57
equipment some you know pieces for
4:00
videos that we happen to be working on right now and then in the longer term
4:05
what we actually want to do is turn this into a somewhat convincing patio space
4:09
so we'd love to put down like some artificial turf and maybe some kind of
4:13
nicer looking concrete and then be able to kind of do shots like sitting outside
4:18
on the patio there's a fair bit of work to be done lighting wise before we'd be
4:22
able to do that though so for now what we generally do is you can see this
4:26
diffuser right here and then we will just kind of blow enough light at them
4:30
that will will blow them out and it'll kind of look like outdoors like you can see an example of this on the window
4:36
with the blinds over there and the window with the plants over there which
4:40
leads us to one of the other purposes
4:44
out here so we created ourselves a little sort of forest back here so we
4:48
could actually allow ourselves to see out into kind of a skybox like backdrop
4:55
with plants in front of it uh since we're back here you can actually see a
4:59
couple of examples of ways that we like the Windows and then over on the other
5:03
side we've got the color temperature of the light changed so that it looks more
5:07
like evening
5:18
Wow big choice wood no big deal so the
5:30
living room was actually probably the
5:33
most natural the easiest aspect of this
5:38
project we actually ended up doing two different iterations of it now the
5:42
original plan had been to take so this was the orange wall right here up where
5:47
it's 12 feet tall and then this was the map wall which you guys will probably
5:50
remember the original idea was to take these two walls and just convert them
5:55
and then maybe expand a little bit over to where that spaceship thing was in the
5:59
other corner so Yvonne set out to just
6:03
do a makeover so we just changed the color we ripped the map off we got a
6:06
couple shelves and it made such a difference to the feel of the videos
6:11
that we kind of realized well this is
6:14
what we got wrong we spent a bunch of money but ultimately we ended up with
6:19
something that didn't look homey you know it didn't have pictures on the
6:23
walls it didn't have you know plants and they're all things by the way plants and
6:28
knickknacks lying around this one doesn't even have a pot what the heck
6:31
happened to the pot you guys oh that is so cool look at this it's blue and red
6:36
now it's purple anyway so what we
6:40
realized was that you didn't have to do like a crazy set we just had to build
6:45
something that felt more like a house so
6:49
that was where the idea came from why don't we just treat our building like a
6:53
giant sound stage and actually build a
6:57
house inside it
7:04
this backing had glitter so then there
7:11
were just two main design goals here one was that we wanted the media center to
7:15
look like cool and modern but also be
7:19
really versatile so it didn't really matter what we put there and then number
7:23
two was that we wanted this this sitting area hey fella go sit over there we
7:28
wanted the sitting area to look like a place where you know people might
7:32
actually be sitting and hanging out hello would hang out with me on his free
7:36
time right yeah it should be noted that
7:41
even stuff that's relatively simple can
7:44
be complicated so check this out first I'm gonna clean this windowsill
7:51
yeah babies so in order to avoid reflections on the glass in our Windows
7:57
they're actually installed to that on like a gimbal mount so there's a
8:01
rotating post in the middle at the top
8:05
and the bottom that lets us reposition them so that we can avoid reflections
8:09
when we have the blinds open which we
8:12
often don't just because like this looks
8:18
a lot more convincing you got shadows and all that stuff then this so far
8:22
especially with like extension cords
8:26
running through our foliage here is this one on a gimbal too white yes it is now
8:32
we we know the people that are living in the in the old studio house still and we
8:39
know that they are planning a kitchen Renault so we seriously considered
8:45
offering to buy all the hardware and
8:49
cabinetry from the old kitchen set and install it here there were some things
8:54
about the old kitchen that really didn't work that well so for example check this
8:59
out now whoa look at that
9:03
we actually modified an up desk so that we could have a height-adjustable island
9:09
which is really great when we're shooting b-roll like honestly some of
9:13
the stuff we did in the old kitchen like build guides was really really difficult
9:18
because of the fixed height of this and then the other thing was that it doesn't
9:22
have to be a real kitchen like this it's
9:25
not a real sink which doesn't prevent people from dumping stuff down it which
9:29
is why we have these buckets here because it's already happened a couple of times but it's not a real sink so we
9:34
figured we could save some space in the kitchen by taking out stuff we don't
9:39
need so like you might have noticed it doesn't have a fridge no fridge so then
9:46
over on this side honestly like there wasn't much of a
9:49
plan for the dining room and everything over here
9:53
yeah like I think we've I think we've shot here a couple times but that's it
9:58
this mostly just kind of collects dust because we can't really shoot out this
10:02
door in spite of its cool magnetic
10:06
closing mechanism just because we'd be
10:10
going out into kind of ugly warehouse land and you know just looking at a
10:16
double door that's closed over it doesn't look that amazing so if we were ever shooting you know out of the
10:21
kitchen across here or something it
10:25
wouldn't look stupid over there it would look like we were like we were in a
10:28
house anyway one of the areas that we intended to use a lot more than the
10:31
dining room was this over here so this was meant to be kind of like a reading
10:35
nook it's little details like this that you'll never really notice in the videos
10:38
but if you look close most of these pictures are LMG staff often me either
10:45
dressed really funny like wrapped in cables or wearing you know VR headsets
10:50
or dressed in drag so we've got Colton and drag ed and drag is that Dennis that
10:58
is a creepy ass picture anyway having
11:01
something with death behind you this is something that I think people who are
11:05
more familiar with filmmaking have probably always known but something that
11:08
helps make stuff look more natural like
11:12
a lot so this corner is one that we use a lot this one was intended for kind of
11:17
the more professional or creative type products so things like you know a
11:22
laptop or an all-in-one PC or whatever else it was meant to look like like a
11:27
place where you might actually work or study but it's not the only desks that
11:30
we have in the set it's definitely the dirtiest one because it gets the most
11:34
use but that's okay we have a solution today yeah Davey
11:41
this is not actually the ideal head for this but I guess it doesn't really
11:46
matter picking everything up anyway now we're gonna finish our tour in what is perhaps
11:51
the most over-engineered but well I
11:54
think engineering is a bit of a stretch but whatever you get the point get get get in here so this is the bedroom and
11:59
the idea here was again trying to maintain the ability to shoot in any
12:03
direction and to do so we actually
12:07
designed this rolling built-in bookcase
12:12
so whether I'm sitting here next to this
12:16
picture or lying in the bed you know
12:20
hitting talking to a Google home or whatever else or grabbing this vacuum
12:28
now with the tork brush bar head there's
12:31
really dirty in here Wow the brush bar is actually doing a
12:36
bang-up job on here I can walk around the entire room and it'll never feel
12:43
unnatural this is also where we put our
12:47
second desk the idea was that here is
12:50
where we would do like gaming monitors and gaming systems and you know the more
12:56
performance type stuff so it's the work
12:59
over there and then game over here now
13:03
something that you might notice in this
13:06
room as someone who is watching a behind-the-scenes tour is that it
13:10
doesn't really have a door this was intended to be the closet so this is one
13:14
of those sliding style doors so behind it there's a couple of things one is
13:17
there's an emergency exit in the event that someone is in here and that a hump
13:22
that built-in bookcase is closed and two is actually access to the plant
13:27
area that I showed you guys before so this is the way that we can get around
13:31
behind the stage so to speak I love carpet like I love the feeling of carpet
13:36
but the amount of just dust that it gathers is really horrible it's actually
13:41
kind of impressive how light this thing is this is on minimum to like it picked up
13:48
that giant chunk of chunk of stuff on the minimum power setting the main point
13:53
Dyson's trying to make with this thing is that they don't really see the
13:58
purpose in continuing to develop inconvenient corded vacuums when you can
14:04
build something like this that does such a good job and is quick to just grab and
14:10
go and run anywhere with whatever attachment you want like the fact that
14:14
it converts from a full-size to a
14:18
portable like that is absolutely incredible so they're just saying okay
14:24
you know what forget it we're just not going to invest in those other vacuums
14:28
anymore and I can totally see where they're coming from so guys you can
14:32
check out the v10 at Dyson Canada dossier or Dyson com we're gonna have
14:37
that linked in the video description and a huge shout out to you guys for
14:40
watching I hope you enjoyed our tour of our new sets I hope you learned a little
14:45
bit about the behind-the-scenes magic I
14:48
know I actually did while we were doing this over a couple things I actually
14:51
haven't noticed about with the sign until now and uh we will see you guys
14:55
again don't forget to subscribe like all that good stuff
15:01
check that okay how clean is the
15:06
workshop floor now you could eat off it like a savage all right let's get this
15:11
dust out of here check this out gently not by like you just press that button
15:17
OOP done
