Studio Cleanup Turns Into Niko's Nightmare

This is like Christmas in January for us, if you see something you like you can keep it, who told you you can take all this stuff? Welcome back to the runner team, it's 2019, we have big plans here at the

studio

, my biggest plan I've ever had. Thinking all through the Christmas holidays is building the perfect camera system to do it. I need to get all of our equipment in order, so we need to go through the camera room, which hasn't been organized in two years, clean it up, get rid of everything. the things we don't need get all the things we need and make them accessible put them in the right place and make it so anyone can come in and find whatever they're looking for yes we're organizing by category we have bags we have rigging stuff we have camera stuff we have stuff of lighting we have batteries what things do I need to put in a pile the other things you don't need to throw in the trash hard living friend look at these hands man some dirty hands friend look at this wow, hey, you left, I had to change the source because you left to get us some drones, man, now look at it, now it's all off.

I'm going to redo that, man, what's wrong with that? What's that? Where is the idea? Nobody, wait. Let's make a deal here, let's make your source on this. I had a great Christmas. We took the big tour of Minnesota and Central Wisconsin. The first time we took the child to the snow. He loves it. It's natural. He stayed in the house that had Internet, but. no tv that means I couldn't play Red Dead too so I'm playing it now mate how's the cleaning going? What's happening? How is the cleaning going? Okay, come on, buddy, I was there alone.

It was the most peaceful thing ever yesterday. There were like four people there, yeah, they probably got stressed, man, I don't know if I get stressed easily, but there's like four cooks in the kitchen, I mean it's kind of organized, so what's all this that I haven't been able to see? this still this is like we have to get rid of this these are the things we don't need anymore so we can keep them we can take them does anything work? yeah really let me understand this what is this? We plan to get rid of this, it's like Christmas in January for us, if you see something you like you can have it, that's what batteries look at, look at the controller on this thing, nick, you should try it.

This is actually a pretty sturdy steel tripod or Did you find something mm-hmm it's a router this is like what Jake fell out of all these extra ports that you can plug all the cool stuff into like a phillips tone oh this requires a home storage battery has a couple of dimmers here that's pretty sweet actually I'm going to take this is my exercise it's a new year 2019 and with that comes some cool sponsors like today's episode sponsor Skillshare, and I have to say it's a very fortuitous moment because I don't know if you know this, but let's go back to the farm, I have a new son, he's about to turn five months old, my wife told me: Hi, Jake, we have to take pictures baby before the kid gets too big and well, she's asking again and I need lights, so everyone's been cleaning the

studio

and all that. and I heard from Clint that Sam heard from Nico that Nico has given away things on this workbench.

I could use them in my garage. Oh wait, the soul is here. If you don't know, Skillshare is an online learning community with over 25,000 classes that teach you a lot of things, including filmmaking, and I saw one there where this guy teaches you how to use lighting to create layers with a 120d . I'll take them home. I'm going to create some light layers that I learned on Skillshare. I'm going to isolate my foreground subjects with backlights and I'm going to take some beautiful baby photos after I've taken some beautiful ones. babies Now, a premium Skillshare membership gives you unlimited access to all classes, whether you're looking to do something creative or advance your career.

Skillshare is a great place to learn in 2019. Let's set this up if you guys are interested in signing up for Skillshare, it's less than 10 dollars a month and the first 500 people who sign up using the link in the description below will get two months free, but only for those 500 people, you know my opinion on Skillshare. Everything could be a little brighter if we brought it into our lives, Clint, yeah, how many days have you been here? This is day three in the equipment room. It looks very good, although it is not finished, look at this stack I have. to get that out of here one more day I think I can do it today is your last day my last day because next week I have videos to do how the cleaning is going guys, very good friend cleaning and cleaning all this game here it is important to take breaks that It's true Nick, where are all these things?

I think everyone took what they wanted. I only have some lights. I could sell them. I could give them to someone who needs them more than us. I heard they are free. Who told you you could take all these things? Okay, I'm trying to get them out of the studio. You already know how to fly drones. We have four more drones if you want to fly a drone, but who told you you could take all this stuff? the equipment on the table uh Clinton, did you tell everyone they could remove the equipment from the table? That was free, well yeah, because I thought we were putting up all those things that we're going to donate or throw away, so we might as well do that.

I could also have people take things that we haven't looked at yet, but if you're just going to give them away it's like free candy, there are things I want in that pile and I want, what if I want them here too? gimbal we have five more gimbals there, why can't I take that one? you guys have five gimbals there, I have five gimbals there to use, yeah, I just want to practice, you know, then take one of the gimbals home that we'll use. That way you are practicing with the gimbal we will use. We're trying to get rid of this stuff, so I can't have this.

I can't get it for personal use, it's just for training. It's impossible to get it out, Michael. I didn't say you could have this camera. I feel bad for you. You can have this guy. It's a shame. The router will stop fighting please, it's stressing me out. When you're done with that room, I'll go through this table and separate things. about what people can take and what people can't take, I have to collect all this equipment when he was on the elimination table because he didn't have to go through it and figure it out, bring it here, this is my uh, take out your bill of dead team this is not in the gift pile this is in this is on the table because we're just trying to get it out of the camera room wait Jake if you need a light we have a lot of cool lights what Rin said here Look everyone, I promise you that once I get through the table, all of you will be able to descend on it like crazy, especially you in the final stretch, just making sure everything is good and organized for the official tour, the board of directors, the meeting of the board of directors, yes.

I'm so obsessive about everything, man, at a good 50 right now, like my ocd meter is always at 80. I just realized that, man, because no matter how clean it is, there's always something , there is always a speck of dust somewhere sneaking around. Dude, that's just this, just dodging dude, your lens is complete, the room is clean, nico sam jake, I'd love to show you the fruit of my labor, I'm not easily impressed, welcome, welcome, oh, this is it, this is it the finished room, what happened? All those, what did they do with all the things? Well, let me give you a tour of half of our missing stuff.

It's true, most of it was garbage. Let me guide you. Here we go, this is the battery station where you will find your batteries. charged or not charged you will find this container that says charge me, that means that any battery that needs charging goes inside this container. We have a charging compartment for GoPro. The b locks the gold supports. We have all our walkies. Stingers. Two stingers. all the tape and then all this center section here there are lights this is the whole sound area here I have a sound kit it only took eight years all the cinema camera station put together your red parts you are fixing your filters and rings this is the network and storage station, hard drive accessories, your readers and your network cards, all the drives that we have used and stored and this table, under no circumstances should there be anything on the table, period in which you are going to put something there and It's going to fall. and you press the keyboard and it will press delete on something and if you leave something on this table you will get a quick shake number like your middle finger like this, we have a little bit of space, it doesn't mean we have to fill the space, so I have the philosophy that Good organization means that someone who's never been in this room before knows where to get something and also knows where to go without having to ask anyone, so Gabe hasn't been in this room since Clint cleaned it, I think.

I believe in me, I believe, okay, Gabe, I would like you to keep these two things, where do you think they go? Yeah, if I could do it anyway, Gabe, awesome success, could you get me a hard drive reader? Oh, you already have. great job organizing this room I'm so proud of you great with everything organized knowing where all our equipment is knowing exactly what we have I'm ready to build the perfect chamber oh oh oh oh this is great I actually don't think so I can fix that
