$17,000 they said for a freaking battery. They
0:07
said he's crazy. Well, we'll see who's
0:11
crazy now in this moving vlog office update video thing because this puppy
0:16
was worth its weight. Well, maybe not quite its weight. It's very heavy, but
0:19
almost its weight in gold.
0:31
GFuel has put together a very super fantastically awesome GTX 1080 giveaway

We had an incredibly powerful windstorm
0:44
last night. It's coming down in sheets.
0:47
We have no power, but we do have BS
0:50
mods, guys.
0:54
This is not good. We have things to do today, like a lot of things. We still
0:59
have all the cameras. All the batteries are charged, so we can still do that. We
1:04
can't like do any editing. Are those helping a lot? Oh, yeah. So, do you need
1:09
those other two? Yeah. I wanted to at least like let's get some exit interview
1:13
shot. Oh, I hate everything. Is this a vlog? What do you Yeah, this is just a
1:17
vlog. Just a moving vlog. No power vlog.
1:21
This is the room for people that can't really help right now. were trying to
1:25
stay the way. That's a good idea. Office moving vlog. You didn't like the last
1:29
one? I didn't like the last one. It was you opening presents and then finding a
1:33
frog. It was super boring. If we need to do any editing, we could only possibly
1:38
do it on a laptop. Oh, and of course it's really hot in here because uh my
1:43
fan's not running. Oh, it is hot in here. Jeez. Nice and toasty. So, WX off.
1:49
I'm running this extension cord to a server room so that in the editing den
1:55
they can run a laptop.
1:59
The videos must be made. Yep.
2:03
There we go. All right. Well, I'll start
2:06
editing. Uh how much
2:11
um time do you need with the server? Cuz
2:14
I'm guessing you'll need to pull some files over. Um that's probably a good
2:18
idea. I don't I don't know. It's not working. Unfortunately, it's gracefully
2:23
shutting itself down and we're trying to get some stuff off it right now. Through
2:26
a lot of work and frustration, I finally managed to get all the files that I need
2:32
for today's uh vessel and YouTube videos. They're
2:37
all on this laptop and on this SSD.
2:40
Now, we're going to go somewhere where there's power and shoot the stuff that
2:43
we need to shoot. And I'll edit the stuff that I need to edit. Where are we
2:47
going? Uh, Luke's house has power. We get a moving vlog out of it, right? Cuz
2:51
we are all moving to Luke's parents house. You are on the fastest route and
2:56
your route is clear. You should reach your destination by 12:20 p.m. We
3:00
arrived in Luke's parents house and now I'm set up
3:04
editing right here. What a freaking day. So, day four of
3:09
Scrapyard Wars. Time for judging. Oh,
3:13
the power's out. So, we picked up everything and we
3:19
brought it to Luke's house where there's still power. I'm sorry cuz MX is here.
3:24
This is like student film.
3:28
I'm Wow. Wow. Wow.
3:32
What you guys doing? Blowing up these bubble ball thingies. I like my team
3:38
here. I got up.
3:44
We got three shoots done today in spite of the power going out. And it's
3:49
actually only 7:00.
3:52
Wa! Hey, we have power.
3:56
Oh man, that's a that's a nice sight.
4:00
When did we get power back? What a day.
4:05
But there's more, too. And for that, I will hand off to the others.
4:10
Brandon, can you explain what the heck this is? So, when we built the office,
4:16
we had decided that the B-roll set was going to go in this spot, but we didn't
4:21
actually decide what we were going to put there. Originally, we had just put
4:25
two like 8ft tall white walls that were pretty boring. So, I finally decided to
4:31
get some help to actually do these. We're going for like a a space sci-fi
4:37
kind of design. So, you can see that we have these panels that are supposed to
4:44
kind of mirror like metal even though they're made out of wood. Um, and we're
4:48
going to run LEDs throughout the background of them to get different
4:51
colors for various view shots. So, and
4:54
there's a secondary level that is actually structurally sound that will be
4:59
put up there with grading and Windows that are going to be angled throughout
5:03
the top of it the entire way around. So,
5:06
yeah, work in progress, but I'm pretty stoked on all the B-roll that you guys
5:10
are going to get to see through this. But there are more updates and for that
5:15
I will hand over to Luke. Now, I'm stoked for the VR room, which
5:21
is this room that we're in right now. This used to be the library, but as it
5:25
only had like two books in it, and we used it for like weird random meetings,
5:28
not normal meetings, it didn't seem too required. So, Lionus Novon let me put VR
5:34
stuff in here. Now, the Obto is going to be in the corner where like this weird
5:39
desk and weird chair used to be. And
5:42
then we're going to have a VR computer right near the door, which will
5:47
eventually have a wall-mounted screen.
5:50
And probably the computer will be wall-mounted as well. Right now, it just has my test bench on it and like some
5:56
screen on a random table. To reference the UPS from earlier in

6:53
it wasn't really a vlog, but it's hard to do a moving vlog when we're not
6:56
exactly moving anymore. So, this is more like what's happened with the stuff that
7:00
we got and what we're currently trying to work on around the office. If you
7:05
dislike the video and you're like, "Wow, I don't care what you guys do around the
7:08
office. Maybe you could show me some reviews or something." Hit the dislike

7:26
room than I do, and I'll be envious. And that's actually probably okay. Other
7:31
than that, check out this video, which is uh my review of the Oculus Rift, and
7:37
I'll see you guys next time. I died.
