Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Snakes in the Studio? Ask MKBHD V19!”.
Can you watch a full five minute, video in 144p [ Applause ]? When can we get some mkbhd merch? Well? Okay, so you may have noticed this custom. Mkbhd edition circuit design shirt that i’ve worn in the past couple videos this you can now get on sale right now. It is a limited edition for two weeks. So, if you want to get it, you should hop on that. The link is, of course below it’s soft. It’S comfortable, wears well, there’s actually a couple different colors available and it ships internationally.
A lot of people forget. I actually have done two shirts on on teespring in the past and i think the goal with these is to make something that you can wear and people don’t ask like what is that you know you can wear it anywhere and it’s just kind of a cool Design that happens to have the logo incorporated somewhere, and i think we pulled that off so yeah. This design, with the white circuits now available in a couple different, dark, colored shirts and this design actually has its roots and something else you’ll see very soon.
But until then it’s available right now. Let me know what you think: how do you feel after winning love day, so that was really fun. So if for those of you who don’t know that 90 second video i did with the tesla and the sort of an ad the contest entry that we made that ended up winning and it was really cool – it got shown on stage. At the event, all the employees got to watch it live.
I saw the reaction because i was there too. It was just really cool. I think with shooting that video a lot was learned like, obviously you can make a gadget review of a phone or something like that with one person, because it’s just me and my camera, but with a car video, it’s physically impossible to make that with one person. So it ended up being a four-person team of us.
You know one person’s driving one person’s driving another car in front one person’s hanging out the back with the camera on a gimbal there’s a lot going on and that’s the first time we actually did those sort of moving car shots at different angles. It took us two days of shooting and then the rest of it was just editing and condensing it to 90 seconds, which is yes, why the weather changed between different scenes in the video. And yes, that’s also why many of you noticed the colors of the bags in the front trunk also changed it’s because they’re not the same bags, but i would definitely say the amount we learned, both in the editing trying to cut something down into really short and In the shooting trying to shoot car videos, you know getting roads and getting all the different angles and stuff uh will definitely be helpful as a foray into future car videos, because there’s more car tech out there and we’ll be covering more of that. The other videos that won second and third place were extremely well produced.
I thought the second place, one, the spaceships for earth, one could literally be a tv ad. It was really well done i’ll link those below also, if you want to watch them, because they’re really good, also fun fact. This is the first time elon musk ever uh tweeted at me ever mentioned my handle. He had to go out of his way to find it because it wasn’t. I wasn’t in the conversation, so thanks did you ever get offers from media companies to work for them? If yes name them, okay, well, yeah, i’m i’m not going to name them. But yes, i have.
I remember specifically one when i was in college, where i was invited to a certain media companies hq you’ve, probably heard of them. They needed a tv tech correspondent to be on tv all the time talking about tech. They needed someone kind of young someone pretty knowledgeable someone who’s about to graduate and i kind of fit that role and i was 100, not interested. I mean it was an honor that they considered me and that they brought me in to talk about it, but the whole like scripted tv story after story. The whole live thing is is not really what i’m into. Obviously, i’m doing this on youtube for reasons, because this format suits the way i want to talk about things and the whole other thing about like who’s paying you versus what you can and can’t talk about.
That’S also weird, too so bottom line. I really do like being independent and just using this youtube platform to talk about whatever i want. Why does samsung have serious issues concealing their future products than its competitors, and, and why does it have too many leaks too? Okay, so basically, it’s 2017 everything leaks. I’Ve kind of said this before and the reason behind that a lot of people don’t really realize why things leak or how they leak, but supply chains from these companies like samsung or like apple or like any of these companies, who you see their products before they Get announced it’s because they’re huge.
There are so many different steps in the chain between the time it gets designed and then it gets manufactured and then it gets approved and then it gets made all these different steps with thousands of people, if just one of them releases or leaks something a little Bit it can be really hard to track and really hard to punish and also really hard to stop. There’S all these really interesting articles and posts about how like people will, will try to pay foxconn factory workers who are working on iphones massive amounts of money. For that information, because they don’t make that much money, it can be super tempting. If you work in that factory and someone offers you a year’s wage to show them what the front panel of the iphone looks like and then you get fired, but so what you have a year’s wage now so yeah bottom line.
These companies are really big and they try to make sure people don’t get the information about their phone and it’s all, secretive and obviously you’re not allowed to talk about it, but stuff seems to slip through the cracks every now and then and census 2017. It just gets amplified second, what’s on video when okay, so the first, what’s on video for those of you who are new was the studio tour of casey neistat, we shot that in the city. That was a really fun episode number one. My intention for the series is for it to be roughly three or four times a year, which means if it’s a really really big well thought out production, it’s once every three or four months, so that’s kind of the rate we’re looking at so we’re. Looking at the next episode now and we’re trying to make it as awesome as possible, but yeah that’s why you don’t really see one every week, because that would be really hard.
Let’S talk about the snake snake! What i don’t! I don’t know what you’re uh! I don’t really know what you’re talking about actually no just kidding these snakes, so these guys uh. These are little ball pythons. I see these because there’s another one back there, but our neighbors, the studio have a couple of them, and so you may see them make random appearances and videos, sometimes also this guy’s an instagram.
You should follow him i’ll link it below. What do you think about apple making self-driving cars? Okay, so i’ve actually seen and heard this rumor a bit, but what’s interesting is uh. In the past couple weeks, i’ve seen these sorts of cars floating around the new york city, new jersey area, i’ve taken pictures of them myself, so i know they’re like out there.
I’Ve seen them in new york and i’ve seen them like on the jersey, turnpike and it says apple maps on the side of the car, like i get that, but it’s very clearly not just apple maps. There are way too many sensors on the back and on the top and all this measurement tools. It just kind of seems to me like a self-driving car project.
If i’m looking at it from afar – and it doesn’t say, maps on it, but they might just kind of be disguising it as maps, but the real question here is: is apple actually gon na make a car, i don’t think they have to make a car to Make a self-driving car project if you look at what tesla’s doing a lot of that? Actually, half of that is the software behind making a car drive itself tesla’s, half a car company and half a software company between like making all the cameras talk to each other and all the radar and all the sonar making all those sensors make the car self-aware Enough to drive itself and avoid obstacles, apple they’re, also a software company, so i feel like they’ll, do a ton of research and a ton of measurement and whatever else they’re doing with those cars undercover to try to make their best possible. Self-Driving car software safety is number one convenience, also very important, but yeah apple could make a self-driving car project and never actually make a car as a fellow model s owner. I’M curious about the features you’d like to see in future software hardware updates well, contrary to popular belief. The software on the tesla is not perfect.
In fact, one of the most popular things or most common things, i’ve wanted to see, is spotify in the music player. It’S been like a long time. Coming still isn’t there, do you think the pixel 2 without a three and a half millimeter jack is the right way to go after the pixel teased apple during its debut okay? So that is going to be a pretty funny thing in the next like year, or so, when all those phones that came out last year with a headphone jack that teased apple, because, oh, we still have a headphone jack and you don’t when all those come out In this next year and don’t have a headphone jack, i mean it’s not like apple’s gon na tease back it’s more of an. I told you so, but yeah i’m definitely not looking forward to that way.
It looks right now. Pixel 2 probably won’t have a headphone jack. That’S just the way it is. Have you noticed in your videos that you move your eyes on the camera monitor sometimes well, yes, actually, i have i’m actually impressed that you have too a lot of times, so the the camera monitors right above the camera. Obviously, sometimes i’m just like checking framing or making sure i’m still in the middle. I try not to look away, i’m trying to look here or maybe i’ll hold something up, and i want to make sure it doesn’t reflect too much. So i’m looking just to make sure it doesn’t like that that could happen, but i don’t think it’s it’s too bad is it. I try to look at the camera, mostly all right, we’re good all right. So i’m gon na end this one uh chatter and i are gon na – go edit. This video, he actually edits like everything now, which is pretty awesome, so uh talk to you guys in the next one peace come on.
Untie yourself, you can do this he’s like. Is he stupid? Oh yeah, you’re the morning person you’re? Definitely, oh she’s going hard around the neck, hey. What are you doing? You’Re the strongest ones too? There you go, but that is definitely tight. Now she’s tightening my neck.
That’S weird give me that i’m not a tree. .
