- yo guys, jonathon here and welcome to the 2017 office tour. (upbeat music) so by far one of the biggestchanges from the last office tour, which crazy enough,was two years ago, is the giant wall behindme, back then it was empty, pure white, it could bea little intimidating and overwhelming becauseof how massive it looked, but since then, we'vepainted it this really nice
dark gray color, which ilove because it absorbs pretty much any color you throw at it. so this right here has kindabecome the product table where we shoot a lot ofthe b-roll for the videos, got a couple of targetlamps in the back here, although there are somevery similar ones on amazon, in case you're lookingfor a style like this. now as far as the lamps go,i'm sure by now you've seen them in many of my videos,they're both from tomon's,
this is technically the newermodel, whereas the white one has got that classictoy story pixar action but i really like the contrast,the black and the white, and then like i was talkingabout, the gray wall really absorbs the color,so i couple hue bulbs that each of these splashup against the wall, pair that with a light strip and you got a really cool-looking combo. now one of the things i'vebeen wanting to do forever
is outfit this entirespace with philips hue and i can now say we havesuccessfully done that so giant shoutout to philips for sponsoring this office tour andmaking that a reality. so instantly through voice, you can turn every single light in this place. turn off all the lights. i really like google home because it is super responsive at changing colors.
turn all the lights purple. and then lastly, theamazon echo works fantastic if you wanna instantly change scenes. turn on savannah sunset downstairs. now jumping 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 kinda turned it intothis little product showcase
area with that classic circle led, a really awesome-soundingspeaker from naim, this is actually custom righthere, we got a crispy af and a tld logo, hugeshoutout to dan and lincoln over at what's inside, we gotthat cut in half golf ball action, and then this is thegiant xbox one collection. so if you wanna see more of that, mr. kevin kenson just didthis crazy ultimate xbox setup that i'll link to hereand also down below.
moving along, this is my desk right here and the one thing you noticeis i wanted to keep things kinda uniform, so we'veused the ikea oppeby, and i'm probably slaughtering that name, across all of our desks here,these are some of my favorite looking tops, i've alwaysreally liked the glossy look from ikea, so these are alittle bigger, a little wider, give you a little more room to play with, then that pair with thelegs, which are actually
technically a darkbrown, look super classy. back at it again is mr. toystory pixar lamp from tomons, little homer buddha, i'm notsure if he's still available but i will link him along witheverything if i can find it down below, and recentlyi've got a ton of questions on what speakers do iuse, and these right here are the adam artist 3,and by far, they are my favorite-sounding pair ofspeakers, they are incredible. kinda got a little hackhere going, in the sense
that these are actuallyaudio engine speaker stands but they work really well with the adams. my mouse of choice right nowis the logitech mx master paired with a wirelessapple bluetooth keyboard, that is being poweredby a 2016 macbook pro straight into an lg ultrafine 5k display. i talked about it alittle bit in my latest what's in my bag video,but this has been my setup, i'm not using an imac,i'm not using a mac pro,
this is my desktop when i'mhere and then i just take the macbook and go when i'm on the road. now the other uniform thingyou'll se across the office are the chairs, these arethe sayl by herman miller, we kinda got that white and gray look that looks really cleanand i think matches the aesthetic of thewall, of the white desks, they're also extremely comfortable. really like the looks ofthis mesh back right here,
and what's awesome withthese is you can pretty much customize them any way youwant, down to the color and the legs, the feet, andi know it might seem crazy to invest any sort of money into a chair but if this is something youdo on a day-to-day basis, where you're sitting downfor long periods of time, then it's not that crazy. moving this way again, alongwith the tables, the chairs, we have 5k monitors across the board,
so here at ralphy'sdesk, we got that lamp, macbook pro docked in, ralphy'sweapon of choice right now is the sony a6500, whichis arguably the best 4k youtube camera out right now, this is also a secretweapon, the road video micro, which is hard to beat for the price. over here, we got a little lego action and if you haven't watchedralphy's legos videos, they are really really good,you should go check them out.
curiosity box, by vsauce. shoutout to jake, i love you, man. so moving over here, this haskinda become video gear world, we got c stands and sliders andmonitors, a crazy sky panel, i know some of this gearmight be a little intimidating and overwhelming, honestlyit's more of the stuff we use for the higher-endand crazy production stuff, but really, most of thetime, these airy low-casters are what we end up using, youcould do some crazy good stuff
with just a single led bounce like this and that's honestly what i usefor most of my talking head stuff that you guys haveseen in recent videos. so it's safe to say as we'vegotten a little further into this video world, wefinally upgraded some gear, for the longest time, honestly,we used 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 mr. matt. as we were recording right now,i saw this sweet transition. get ready for it. bam! so if that's not enough toentertain you, and maybe pique your interest, you shouldprobably go watch that video while this truck outsidehere interrupts me. (laughs)
- geek squad, man!- it's the geek squad, dude! - geek squad! you screwed me again! $200 to change a hard drive. how do you sleep at night? so closing out matt's desk,it's very similar to mine in the sense we've got the pegasus, he's got those adam artist3s, which are phenomenal, and then again here, just closingout the matching desk set,
we got the lg ultrafine 5k display, ready to go at any given timeto dock a macbook pro into. now before we move on, ashoutout to dude perfect for making us waste many many hours shooting baskets and not making videos. also, before i forgetand you guys yell at me, those disney posters, found those on etsy, printed them at costcowhere they did the canvas, the frame, everything, notsure if they're still available
but if they are, i willlink them down below. moving over to the ikea case of doom, this is actually meant to be a closet but we've turned it into a gear container, we've actually had thisfor a couple years now. that's a lot of batteries. on the flip side, actually,you wanna know what two many usb cables looks like? look at that rat's nest.
we've kinda got it organized. - some splinter action.- lightning, micro usb, usb-c, thunderbolt 3. lenses galore, and thenthis mess and this mess has kinda become the tech under 50, 25, 100, testing area where i'll justgo on these amazon rabbit holes and add many many many things to my cart, order them, test them outto see if they make a video, and that's kinda where they live.
eh man, why are you in my mouth? continuing along, thisis some kitchen stuff, not really anything that interesting. water, half an eaten cookie. no pears, unfortunately. this here is kinda likethe little entertainment, get around together, watchsome youtube video center, home to the google home,couple xbox controllers, tv, another reallyawesome speaker from name
and then the amazon echo right here. now this guy right hereis actually from ikea and it is extremely useful interms of being a gear cart, so we got this powerextension kinda mounted here, so that's not going anywhere,this is probably my favorite extension cable from bluelounge because it's blue, really easy to see and notmiss in the massive amounts of rad action cable land, it's a magnet, so jesse would approve,and that's about it.
now, if we go over here, ifyou don't have a motion sensor in your life, you should,because that is honestly one of the coolest things we've done here and it's not that importantor that cool right now but when it's night andthere are no lights in here and you walk by, it's the best. so as far as upstairs,this has kinda become the entertainment center of sorts. back in the day, that usedto be actually my desk
and speaker setup, butsince then, we kinda went with a similar theme as wedid downstairs with that dark gray wall, say hello torich and the ice light. as far as a tv goes, we got that beautiful curved oled from lg, tons of consoles, this has kinda become thegame memorabilia area, virtual boy, holy crap. here's actually one of myfavorite pieces that i've used in a few different time lapse shots,
the mario brothers and duck hunt clock, really really cool, shoutout to the bulls, who are back and forth this year. last but not least, we gotthis halo needler action. this is also part ofthe ultimate xbox setup, so don't normally have this around, but you can check out whywe got it in that video. also you might notice,there's a closet back there, that is just boxes and more nerf.
- wanna go check?- no, nah, we can't show them that, they'llnever come out of it alive. they'll never come out. hey hey, you son of a! so that wraps up the 2017 office tour, hopefully you enjoyed the video, if you did and you arefeeling like being awesome, make sure to smash that like button. if you have any ideas orsuggestions for the next tour,
