Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “2016 MKBHD Studio Tour in 360°!”.
Hey, what’s up guys, I’m Kim PhD here and welcome to the studio tour 2016 in 360 degrees, so right off the bat you can probably already tell you can look around if you’re in Google Chrome, you can drag around the window. This actually works best on a mobile device. So if you’re on your phone, you can literally like look around what’s next to you, what’s behind you or if you have something like this Google cardboard, you can put your phone in there and really get immersive with it. So that’s what this is for, but yeah this is the studio. So a lot of you guys first saw it when it was super empty.
It’S a little bit more full now with a whole bunch of stuff. So I’m going to show you around the idea. Generally of having a studio space for me, that’s not just my bedroom is so number one. It’S a lot bigger! It’S a lot more space for me to actually do things and set things up, but number two, it’s two postings and bring things in and that mix of videos a little more interesting but yeah.
I guess first things. First, I’m gon na go ahead and show you guys this gear cabinet right here, so I guess I’ll call it the gear chest. This is essentially the video gear and the stuff I make videos about so over here. On the right hand, side this is Ikea built. So actually took like a lot of time to build this, but this is all the stuff that I use to make the videos, so those surfaces behind you and around you are pretty clean. So this is like the camera. The lenses, the slider, is actually a really good organizational tool. If I know exactly what’s in every drawer here, so I know exactly where sound is and where batteries are.
But this is what I’m using to make the videos a slider all that stuff I’m going to try to leave links in the description below to as many of these things that I’m talking about as possible. So if you have any questions or if you’re wondering, if you can get your hands on this stuff, the links will be below. So that’s what that’s for, but that’s the right-hand side. Now, if I switch over here to the left-hand side, you can see there’s a lot of the stuff that I’m making videos about. So this is stuff like okay, all the phone boxes, all the tablets, the the laptops, the headphones all that sort of stuff. That’S all living in here. One of the things I get a lot is: what are you supposed to do with the devices once you’re done using them like once you’re stopped using or reviewing a phone? I don’t know either. I still have that question as well.
So that’s kind of why this drawer exists, but yeah. That’S that’s kind of the idea of the gear cabinet is to keep things organized and off of surfaces. So it looks pretty for video all the time but yeah there’s plenty of stuff living in here. So that’s the gear chest, I guess I’ll go ahead and move on and I’ll show you guys something else.
This is an mkbhd Edition poker table super unique. Obviously you can’t buy this exact table, but I’ll leave a link to the makers of this table below. So if you want to check that out, that’s there, but there is a meaning behind it being a poker table. Obviously we don’t really.
We talk tech on this channel all the time, but we often don’t consider the people that are making the tech and the decisions they make to make each phone and each tablet that we use every single day. So it’s for that reason, kind of rare to see a company take a real gamble and go all-in on something like crazy. Like this new thing, we’re seeing that I you might see in an upcoming video, these bezels phones.
They look crazy, but I love it. I love the risk they’re taking, so this table is not just a place for people to come and lose their money, but it’s also kind of a reminder for me for the companies that are taking those risks and doing things a little bit differently. So this is the table now, there’s some DVI stuff, some foam, but we can move right along and check this out besides the carpet which does great acoustically.
This is the dream desk. This you’ve probably seen not only all over Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and places I’ve shared it, but this is the entire thing, so you have a look at it. This is a super, unique piece of furniture, and the chair obviously is pretty neat to have as well but yeah. This took a couple months to arrive and this is super sweet to actually have here. I get two main questions with this desk. When people see it as number one like, what do you do with your feet on this base here I just kind of kick up. I don’t think it’s a big deal, it’s wood. They can handle it’s terrible and number two. Can you put things way over here on this side of the desk and will they fall off or knock it over? No, this desk is great. It’S super usable, it’s weighted very heavily over here.
It’S got cable management and, yes, I could put like an iMac over there and I would stay fine. It’S great, there’s also some art behind me. There’S some Phillips hue bulbs in these lights and obviously the art you can’t get anywhere else either. There’S a video light.
As well I’ll move on, so this is the sort of a lounge type of entertainment sort of areas we could probably tell by the sweet, modular couch and a chair right here, but yeah this is kind of fun. So this is a 4k OLED TV. It’S amazing! It’S beautiful, but there’s almost never any actual TV signal going into it.
There’S no cable box here, it’s mostly just Internet like streaming services and stuff so YouTube, there’s an Apple TV plugged in there’s a ps4 there’s an Xbox one, there’s a chromecast, but there’s a chromecast ultra and the mail coming soon, because that supports 4k, and this can Also be like a nice area for virtual reality, testing so VR stuff, you’re kind of watching one of the VR videos right now that stuff’s coming out all the time vr gaming is awesome so that stuff could be tested here all the time. Now I keep talking about philips hue because they have these smart light bulbs at the philips you app installed on my phone. The benefit of that is. I have full control over all the lights in this that are Philips you, the light strip behind the desk. All that stuff over the app on my phone, so that’s kind of a neat thing, there’s also one other thing.
I want to show you guys, since I haven’t actually formally shown you on video. Yet is this thing this? Thank You. This is the the plaque that you get first surpassing a million subscribers on YouTube. So I just want to say thanks for like that in person, so you can get that yeah, but other than that this is the sort of a lounge area.
I guess easiest way to move on, oh by the way, a lot of foam it helps is great I’ll move on. So this is the corner of the room that I definitely spend the most physical time in right. So this is the editing Bay. This is the vocal booth. This is everything first of all, this piece of equipment right here can’t forget it. This is the Kessler pocket, jib Pro and you’ve seemed like the overhead shot.
So I’m going straight down with like the unboxings and stuff. You can do that with a tripod, but it’s a lot easier to have a dedicated tool where I can roll this over to the desk or roll over to the white surface and point it straight down and it’ll get that overhead shot. So that’s sick. This is the Google jump, VR rig that we’re shooting this video on right now. So this is what you guys are looking at me through. This is the rig.
What it looks like is basically 16 GoPros all on this sort of a platter thing all connected with this sort of a wire of cables, all recording at the same time. So that’s why you can walk around and look they’re all recording in a stereoscopic 3d image. Has a facial microphone by zoom up top just like that, so there’s no up facing camera, so you like lose the upper 30 degrees or so video, but those wide-angle lenses. That’S what you guys look like when I’m looking at the camera and talk to you! That’S what you look like um and then there’s the desks a pair of next desks over here, some foam in the corner that I’ve put up, but this is the next desk Tara. You’Ve probably seen this before. Actually, but what’s neat about this, is it’s a it’s sort of the charging station for all things, so batteries charge here? There’S wireless charging here and there’s a USB type, a USB type-c EOC USB, I don’t know lightning everything charges here.
The Apple watch charges here. So this is also a height-adjustable desk, but I don’t really sit here because I’m usually sitting at the mega desk this right here. This is the next desk err pro with. I guess it’s an even larger custom size, it’s larger than they normally make maximum as incredible. So this is covered in production equipment.
It’S not a normal everyday setup, but it’s a pair of aces 4k displays this little shelf here thing I’ll. Try to link on Amazon people really like that twelve terabyte read where I keep the final finished files: sennheiser HD 800 s bicolor, where I’m probably going to have an entire dedicated set up just for the production like in all is 8k glory like just this. As a normal video so thumbs up, if you want to see that, but in the meantime this is what it looks like when it’s on got a Philips hue lightstrip in the back and all kinds of foam behind and below it, because I’m doing sound editing here.
Just as much as I am video editing, Yamaha HS 8s on the side devices that I’m testing and the 2013 trashcan Mac Pro that I’m hoping gets updated very soon, at least at the time of the recording of this yeah and so being on an x desc Err Pro, it is height adjustable, so you can see it’s at a standing height right now, but if I move the chair out moves down to a more appropriate sitting, height speakers come with it. Everything comes with me and I go down to a sitting height. So if I’m editing and sitting that’s great by the standing preset as well so anytime, I’m standing and I’m not editing for a long time. That’S when I stand the chair down here is a Herman Miller embody that slides by underneath. So it’s super easy. So this is pretty pretty compact, pretty clean, some color, where black keyboard and everything I like it.
It works for me, that’s where the production of most of the videos you watch or happening. So that’s pretty much. It that’s the extent of the studio and the way it looks now in 2016.
Obviously, all this is subject to change is going to evolve as time goes on, stuff is going to come in and out, but this is a sort of a starting template with what we’re working with you saw it when it was empty. Now it looks fantastic. I think so you guys saw the gear chest all the stuff, that’s in it fantastic organizational tool.
We have all the carpeting and all the furniture and things like that. We have the poker table, you guys saw the poker table and why it’s a poker table and then, of course, the dream desk over there and all its glory. The couch lit more foam a little bit more furniture. You saw the entertainment system, obviously the TV over there, you have the couch, you have the carpeting, all that sort of stuff, all the foam, and I got some more tables. You got some more gear, you got some desks, you got the production area, you’ve seen it all now. Thank you again.
I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you for everyone. Who’S been watching his videos. You saw the plaque as well super important to me, but yeah, that’s pretty much it as far as the tour goes. Hopefully, there will be more stuff like this to come.
Thank you for watching this. One talk to you guys. The next one pace you you .
