The Ultimate Office & Setup Tour - 2017 #Helpful Post

yo guys Johnson here and welcome to the

2017 office tour so by far one of the

biggest changes from the last office

tour was crazy enough with two years ago

is the giant wall behind me back then it

was empty pure white it could be a

little intimidating and overwhelming

because of how massive it looked but

since then we painted this really nice

dark gray color which I love because it

absorbs pretty much any color you throw

at it so this right here is kind of

become the product table where we shoot

a lot of the b-roll for the videos got a

couple of target lamps in the back here

although there are some very similar

ones on Amazon in case you're looking

for a style like this now as far as the

landscape I'm sure by now you've seen

them in many of my videos they're both

for Commons this is technically the

newer model whereas the white one it's

got that classic toy store it picks our

action but I really like the contrast

the black and the white and then like I

was talking about the gray well really

absorbs the color so I've got a couple

of cue bulbs in each of these splash up

against the wall pair that with a light

strip you got a really cool-looking

combo now one of the things I've been

wanting to do forever it's outfit this

entire space with Phillips here I can

now say we have successfully done that

so giant shout out to Phil's for

sponsoring its office tour and making

that a reality so instantly through

voice you can turn every single light in

this place off turn off all the lights I

really like Google home because it is

super responsive at changing color turn

all the lights purple

 

and then lastly the Amazon echo works

fantastic if you want to instantly

change scene turn on savanna sunset

downstairs now Justin back over here

you're probably wondering what this

crazy setup is and it's actually a

custom Xbox console that was built by

Chris over at four-eyes furniture we've

kind of turned it into this little

product showcase area with that classic

circle led a really awesome sounding

speaker from name this is actually

custom right here we got a crispy AF and

a TLD logo huge shout-out to Dan and

Lincoln over at what's inside we got

that cut and half golf ball action and

then this is the giant Xbox one

collection so if you want to see more of

that mr. Kevin Kamps and just did this

crazy ultimate Xbox setup that I'll link

to here and also down below move it

along this is my desk right here and the

one thing you notice that I wanted to

keep things kind of uniform so we've

used the IKEA OPA Bey and I'm probably

slaughtering that name across all of our

desks here these are some of my favorite

looking tops I've always really liked

the glossy look from Ikea so these are a

little bigger a little wider give you a

little more room to play with then that

pair with the legs which are actually

technically a dark brown looks super

classy back at it again is mr. Toy Story

Pixar lamp from Tommen's little Homer

Buddha I'm not sure if he's still

available but I will link him along with

everything if I can find it down below

now recently I've got a ton of questions

on what speakers do I use and these

right here are the atom artists reason

by far they are my favorite sounding

pair speakers they are incredible kind

of got a little hack here going in the

sense that these are actually audio

engine speaker stands but they work

really well with the atom my mouth of

choice right now is the Logitech MX

master pair with a wireless apple

bluetooth keyboard that is being powered

by 2016 MacBook Pro straight into an LG

ultra flying 5k display I talked about

it a little bit in my latest what's my

bag video but this has been my set up

I'm not using an iMac I'm not using a

Mac Pro this is my desktop when I'm here

and then I just take the MacBook and go

when I'm on the road now the other

uniform thing you'll see across the

office are the chairs these are the sail

by Herman Miller

kind of got that white and gray look

that looks really clean I think matches

the aesthetic of the wall of the white

desk they're also extremely comfortable

really like the looks of this mesh back

right here what's awesome Aziz you can

pretty much customize them any way you

want down to the color the legs the feet

and I know it might seem crazy to invest

any sort of money into a chair but if

this is something you do on a day to day

basis where you're sitting down for long

periods of time then it's not that crazy

moving this way again along with the

tables the chairs we have 5k monitors

across the board so here at Ralphie's

desk we got that lamp macbook product in

Ralphie's weapon of choice right now is

the sony a6000 which is arguably the

best 4k youtube camera out right now

this is also a secret weapon the rode

videomicro which is hard to beat for the

price over here we got a little Lego

action and if you ever watch the Ralph's

these Legos videos they are really

really good you should go check them out

curiosity box by Vsauce shout out to

Jake I Love You Man so moving over here

this is kind of become like video gear

world we got C stands and sliders and

monitors a crazy sky panel I know some

of this gear might be a little

intimidating and overwhelming honestly

it's more the stuff we use for the

higher end and crazy production stuff

but really most of the time these airy

look asters will we end up using you

could do some crazy good stuff with just

a single LED bounce like this and that's

honestly what I use for most of my

talking head stuff that you guys have

seen in recent videos so it's safe to

say as we've done a little further into

this video world we've finally upgraded

some gear for the longest time honestly

we use Home Depot lights for like I'd

say three or four years so don't feel

intimidated if you see any of this crazy

stuff because you can do some really

spectacular stuff with budget gear

closing it up over here this is a mr.

Matt as we recorded right now I saw the

sweet transition you're ready for it

BAM so if that's not enough to entertain

you and maybe pique your interest you

should probably go watch that video

while the truck outside here interrupts

me

dekes why these blood you screwed me

again $200 a change a hard drive how do

you sleep at night

so close on Matt's desk is very similar

to mine in the sense we got the Pegasus

you've got those atom artists threes

which are phenomenal and then again here

just closing out the matching desk set

we've got the lgo supplying 5k display

ready to go at any given time to dock a

MacBook Pro into now before we move on

shout out to dude perfect for making us

waste to many many hours shoot baskets

are not making videos also before I

forget you guys yell at me those Disney

posters found those on Etsy printed them

at Costco where did the canvas to frame

everything not sure if they're still

available but if they are I will link

them down below move it over to the IKEA

case of doom this is actually meant to

be a closet we've turned it into a gear

container we've actually had this for a

couple years now

that's a lot of batteries on the flip

side actually I want to know what too

many of the USB cables looks like we got

rat's nest we've kind of got it

organized under a lightning micro USB

USB C Thunderbolt three lenses galore

and then this mess and this match has

kind of become like a tech under 50 2500

kind of testing area where I'll just go

on these Amazon rabbit holes and add

many many many things to my car order

them test them out to see if they make a

video and that's kind of where they live

a Maui in my mouth continue it along

this is some kitchen stuff not really

anything that interesting water tacit

eating cookie no pears unfortunately

this here is kind of like a little

entertainment get around together watch

some YouTube video Center home to the

Google home couple Xbox controller with

TV another really awesome speaker for

name in the Amazon echo right here now

this guy right here is actually from

Ikea needed

mainly useful in terms of being like a

gear cart so we've got this power

extension kind of mounted here so that's

not going anywhere this is probably my

favorite extension cable from blue

lounge because it's blue really easy to

see and not miss in the massive amounts

of red action cable and it's a magnet

so Jesse would approve and that's about

it now if we go over here if you don't

have a motion sensor in your life you

should because that is honestly one of

the coolest things we've done here it's

not that important or not cool right now

but when it's nice and there are no

lights in here and you walk by it's the

best so as far as upstairs this is kind

of become the entertainment center of

sorts back in the day that used to be

actually my desk and speaker set up but

since then we kind of went with a

similar theme as we did downstairs with

that dark gray wall say hello to rich

and the ice lengths as far as the TV

goes we got that beautiful curved OLED

from LG tons of consoles this has kind

of become the game memorabilia area

Virtual Boy holy crap

here's actually one of my favorite

pieces that I've used in a few different

time-lapse shots the Mario Brothers and

duck hunt clocks really really cool and

shut up to the Bulls who are back and

forth this year last but not least we

got this halo needler action this is

also part of the ultimate xbox setup so

don't normally have this around you can

check out why we got it in that video

also you might notice there's a closet

back there that is just boxes and core

nerve projects no we man we can't show

them that they'll never come out of it

alive
