THE SECRET OFFICE TOUR! (2018) #Helpful Post

your guys John Lanier welcome to the

secret office tour so by secret you guys

have seen multiple iterations of this

space and I'm sure you've seen bits and

pieces of this spot but I've never

really given you the full in-depth tour

now there are still a ton of things I

would love to do to the spot in terms of

upgrades tweaks enhancements if you guys

have any suggestions feel free to drop

me a line down below but kind of

consider this tour version 1.0 and big

shout out to purple for sponsoring part

one so this is a plant very very

important part of the office upstairs

we got the guest loft area where if

someone's to come down crash or play the

piano they can

 

welcome to upstairs behind me

we cut the other half of the massive

shoe wall display guess these are the

right shoes there's a couple exclusives

though we got the pair of rock Under

Armour kicks these are courtesy of Dan

from once in the side gifted these to me

so thank you dude they're a size 13 so I

can't fit in these I'm like a size 11

but nonetheless they look rad and i'ma

throw them on the display to my left is

a piano that I kind of picked up with

the intention of learning because when I

was a youngster took piano lessons for

like two months

gave it up and that is one of the things

I regret most I remember like two things

from piano lessons there's one song that

just like stuck in my head

 

that's and I just figured out Rugrats

today tropi like if you watch Rugrats

that was one of my favorite shows

growing up over there

that's a drew this is actually the guest

editing station so if they want to crash

here we got the bed back there and also

an IMAX so they want to work on projects

like the video he's editing right now we

actually shot a collab over on his

channel he grilled me with some pretty

good questions so if he guys aren't

subscribed do it he's entertaining he's

smart he's a madman

and he grilled me pretty good so make

sure you guys check out and he's not

that he's not too Apple sheep that he

claims to be you know what he's rocking

as his daily Galaxy Note 9 so he's

actually an Android fanboy confirmed so

we got the artifacts desk iMac the

Tommen's lamp this is like the classic

Toy Story lamp and of course we got that

comfortable purple mattress so we know

it's comfortable with the reason why

it's comfortable is the smart grid

technology packed inside this stuff is

actually jam-packed in the mattress and

that's the reason why it is so pliable

is so squishy is so comfortable and

naturally from there we had to do some

scientific tests to jump on it and see

how the smart grid technology held up

and I'd say it's safe to say it passed

with flying colors

also was kind of cool is this tech is

packed inside their pillows and let me

tell you these are not your average

pillows these are so heavy but as heavy

as they are they are equally as

comfortable and cool like both sides of

the pillow and that Tec applies to the

bed

stays cool throughout the night which is

amazing it contours to however you want

to sleep so if you're on your back here

on your side or the jeff goldblum it's

gonna have you covered now I don't want

to assume but this might have been the

best night of sleep Drew's ever got in

his life confirmed so if you want to be

as happy as Drew if you want to

experience the amazingness that is the

purple mattress check out the links

below it'll change your life

beyond the bed we got kind of little

side table over here this is just chaos

it's a bunch of shoeboxes so those are

the shoes those are the boxes we got

kind of like a guest closet right so

actually there's nothing but iPhone tens

in here those are all Drew's he's just

playing the part with a ninety nine

right now I'm kidding he's actually

using it and now we should head back

downstairs to check out the rest of the

spot so next one there we got the Linus

tech tips kitchen every studio needs one

of those behind me that's like a limit

edition one of like three TLD posters

that was like never made or produced but

you guys want a chance to win one just

drop a like leave a comment and I will

randomly send one out next to me we got

today's sponsor I'm kidding

bounty the quicker picker-upper that's

the same brand behind that is a AV mount

charging station so all these go on the

back cameras we've got like four

charging at once very very useful and as

you start to see this is kind of more so

of the studio set where we got lots of

gear just hiding out we got products

that either have been used or are in use

in the next cue as they would say to

many products to go out here we got the

Philips hue master collection so I like

you and

we're always using them for projects for

videos for desk setups and we kind of

always have some on hand behind me we

got this beautiful beautiful tall IKEA

storage locker

like in that TLD blue this is also where

we have way too many products we're kind

of trying to get organized so below is

headphone LAN we got monitors we got

cables we got backpacks we got

smartphones like we got some old old old

old phones in there like old school so

if we want to go retro we kind of try to

build the collection a little messy but

we're getting there

here that's kind of like the boring

stuff power bricks USB cables

miscellaneous stuff as we hop over we

got kind of ghin it's just like gear

land we got a 6 by 6 frame c-stands

microphone boom headphones tripods

everywhere sliders this guy in the wall

is actually a Westcott flex light so the

dream here and you'll see in a second

this tall piece right here is called a

faux bow that's what we use for all the

top-down shots right now we kind of just

use that with a softbox in the middle of

the room which takes up a lot of space

so eventually the dream is to mount a

couple of these flex lights against the

wall shoot them through like a six by

diffusion grid and then bring that whole

operation right here that way we can

utilize the rest of the studio and not

take up so much space in the middle of

everything so showing you how the fobel

works it's really awesome

say what's up to rich monitoring audio

but yeah you could throw some really

heavy camera rigs on this and it's just

gonna really change the way you do

top-down so it's I don't know what you

would call that like that's not

pressurized but it's really really

really fun

this is one of the old tables we had

initially like back way in the original

office this is a bead board which you

gotta use to bounce light which works

amazing honestly I wish I knew about

this like way back when bouncing light

is one of these simplest most amazing

things you can do to get that like soft

beautiful light now behind me

we cut a Tesla slider what you guys saw

in the original office store we use that

for all those crazy parallax shots so

this is kind of one of our most used

tools more stands we got a desk for an

upcoming video kind of top-secret this

guy right here I gotta say it's like a

$99 Amazon special and it's not built

well but for some reason I really love

the cheap laminate top I use it for

top-down shots a lot and it looks cool

so it's kind of made it in the rotation

I think for the most part there's a lot

of space in here that could be utilized

better there's definitely some echo so

with these like tall tall ceilings

especially because they're metal it just

kind of just echoes and resonates

everywhere so I wanna try to get some

sort of like sound dampening up there

just kind of help fix that echo so for

the last part of the office you've

probably seen this most in the videos

over in this corner that's where I set

up for a talking head shot you've

probably seen this angle and this is

really kind of how I have everything

rigged up it's just one simple light the

aperture 120 d light dome softbox it

creates this beautiful soft diffuse

light and you can see I probably look a

little underexposed right now but if I

get into the soft light it's going to

look a lot better I actually use it for

one of Drew's recent videos you guys

want to check that in addition to the

interview I'll drop a link to that down

below drew has never looked prettier in

there we've got some miscellaneous stuff

this is just like a cheap colored

cardboard that we got from Hobby Lobby

and that's something I use for top-down

it's kind of mix up the wood look this

is a foam acoustic sound panel dampens

the sound so ideally if we had these

everywhere that's going to muffle the

sound because again it is very very

echoey in here now this guy right here

I'm gonna stay under the lights this is

intended for like a TV it's a Media

Console but we really just use it for

b-roll for products

and more so than anything that's where

we have the internet hooked up and

without it

it would look like a rat's nest so last

up we got the corner desk which is the

art of Fox you guys may have seen a ton

of these in the main office tour really

really dig the looks of this it just

works very well and doesn't take up a

ton of space that is paired with an lg

ultra fine 5 Q monitor so it's kind of

dual purpose people can set up a laptop

here work or again it looks kind of

great with the background in the main

talking head shot there now I've got a

ton of questions on what this chair is I

don't know the name but I know it's from

Ikea so I'll drop a link to this along

with everything down below we got this

custom DIY beautiful little light that

JT made from IKEA plants an egg from the

test earlier that Tom's

Toy Story lamp and of course Inc which

was from a Vsauce mystery box a while

back so this kind of always made its way

in snuck into videos and that's kind of

the office tour - the Ikea rug below me

again it's kind of like 1.0 ton of

things I want to do if you guys have any

ideas or suggestions drop a comment down
