 All right, so yesterday when the when the video premiered you guys had asked for a setup video So This is that video So the office or like the studio the room that I work out of right is shaped really weirdly So like here you would walk in kind of like we'll call that this this alleyway here there's the wall all the way on the side and then it builds out like this and there's like a strange little like Bump or dent where the wall is right and then you have this portion of the room and Walkway that you would walk in and out of right so there's the doorway here So the window is here and that's where we get some good natural light But my girlfriend's desk is along this wall and we have like L shaped desks that are really annoying because you can't take From the part they just have to remain in that shape where one side is like longer and thicker than the other and it's awful And stupid so for a while I had my desk against this wall here And I would be like literally stuck here in this little like cube space So I would have sure my monitor and like my camera off to the side here But it made it super immobile and not actually usable whatsoever And then this whole portion of the room is now cut off and suffocated and there's the sticker wall Right, I'm sure you guys have seen that as we kind of watch the videos But so I recently changed it up I recently just after Christmas. I because I got some of this new setup I shifted it so that my desk actually faces this way and Now the monitor is over here and I sit in my chair here, right? And I can have kind of this space for like microphones and lights and the camera can kind of be in flux literally anywhere So it's super duper opens up this end of the room, which is fantastic I can actually move and I can do a lot more with the desk and actually have more of the space to do things So I am no longer cramped and like it weird invisible cubicle, which I recommend to people Don't don't do that to yourself Okay, so the tech right the stuff that you guys actually care about I am using my Dell XPS 15 laptop as kind of my daily driver Right, I use that for literally everything. I keep the keyboard there So it's actually in reach and that's what I use for everything. That's my trackpad That's that's literally just how I use my computer. It's hooked up to this 2560 by 1080 monitor Which is nice just up at the top and I have these two side monitors here that I have set up kind of in like portrait mode So I can look through documentation so I can look at source code or read everything in a long vertical format I like that a lot This is all hooked up with a little like Dell dock here and that's this thing here forgive the messy wires I have never actually kind of said that I was good at wire management. I do software not hardware whatever So that's hooked up with the Elgato to get this camera That's hooked up with like the battery and I have an extra light here So in case I ever need some other extra desk light, that's this thing, which is a nice USB power connection I have the stream deck which actually just came in yesterday. So I still need to set that up I also need to stream for one thing Of course the YouTube play button which I finally have hung up on the wall and some light above that So I can get more light here. I have this other light stand which does light of course I have These lights off to the side and then kind of behind the monitor. I have a grab bag of nonsense That's kind of where I hide and keep stuff. So of course our little guy Fox mask, right? Which should be present in more and more videos Oh, and there's one camera there to get another side shot There's another camera on the top of this monitor to get kind of a face down shot I still literally have the little plastic cover on that so you can see how much that gets used and I Have this drone which Which is all the drone footage that I know you guys want to see so Hopefully we'll be able to play with that sometime soon Okay, so ladies and gentlemen Squad position whatever this is legit. This is the real part This is why the benefit of opening up the room gives a little bit more flexibility with the camera and check this out Now we got a little standing desk. All right. All right. I Do still kind of need to figure out what to do with the microphone and like how to get this right and obviously sure There's some like still wires kind of in the view. I need to do cable management eventually I know you don't have to tell me in the comments, but leave a comment anyway YouTube algorithm stuff So I don't know exactly how much I'm gonna end up recording like this in the standing position But it's so kind of nice so I can like actually switch my legs and like not be sitting the entire day Which I like it kind of like nullifies these two monitors over on the side I know but I mean I'm gonna be like in the focus zone anyway. I'm gonna be like doing what I do as needed So there's that. Oh, I also have a green screen. I can pull that out and show you that if you want Ta-da, it's a green screen I actually haven't set it up in this new like room layout So the lighting and the shadows might be super janked up But uh, I haven't recorded with this all too often and I don't know if it actually looks good or not I don't know if folks like having this green screen like having a transparent background over the screen overlay as to like what I'm teaching Or what I'm showcasing on the computer so I could do more with this. I mean, I would love to play with it It's let me know. How do you like your? education in videos on the John Hammond YouTube, I don't know man my Dell XPS 15 laptop Does dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux a lot of folks I know ask like hey John How do you edit your videos? What do you use? What do you do? I record with OBS and that's installed on both Windows and Linux So whatever I'm working on I can record and I edit with Kate and live Which I also have installed on both Ubuntu and Windows my Windows side has WSL or the Windows subsystem for Linux installed and my Linux side has a virtual box with the Windows VM in it so I can kind of easily as needed to hop in and out of whatever I need to do For filmography and stuff. I'm using an Audio Technica AT 2020 microphone It's hooked up with an XLR cable and like some converter to get into USB mode and Neewer newer they put out the converter for that that I use and I'm recording on a Canon EOS R I have that synced up with the Elgato and it looks beautiful. I stink and love it I am so not used to high-quality cameras, so I have a lot of fun with this So forgive me for all the nonsense, but that's the tech That's what I ended up using for recording and filming and doing and creating content like this So, hey everyone, I think that's it. I think that's all I could showcase um, I hope I answered your questions or Showed you whatever you wanted to see maybe I had some fun with recording this I hope you enjoyed watching it Let me know if you like B-roll stuff like that or whatever. Just get some more cool electric cyber music going on I am gonna be doing more tech videos. Sorry All right, okay You can you can are you just gonna lick my hand you're just gonna lick my hand you're just gonna lick my hand Okay, I am gonna be doing more cyber security and actual tech videos super duper soon. Please stay tight It should be coming out this week or next we got the sans-halta hack challenge lined up Which I am super excited about please do all those YouTube algorithm things.
