About a year ago I made a promise to you, guys.
I made a video where I announced this industrial hall
and I asked you to put a comment underneath that video
and that we would print out all of those comments
and hang them here in a studio to a wall.
Well, this right here is the entrance,
you come in right here, we’re not sure yet what to do with this space, but
one thing is for sure...
[Upbeat rhythmic music fades in]
So, we got the YouTube logo in here guys!
And over 1,000 comments of some of the most amazing people on this planet!
Thank you all so much for making this possible!
Now, let's get started with the Cinecom Studio Tour!
[Music]
The Cinecom Studio, guys!
and you've probably already seen it from our videos,
but maybe not every corner yet,
and I actually have some fun facts to share with you, guys,
we actually purchased this as an empty industrial hall
and then the work started, we've been working for almost a year
to have it done like can see right now.
And let's start with that little office over there,
we've actually built it here.
In the beginning we first sat somewhere right there in a party tent
and it was super cold at all time.
And while the people were working here, the contractors,
everything was full of dust, all of our gear.
So, that was really not pleasant to work here.
But for over that, everything is complete,
We've cleaned the whole place, so that is a good thing.
But now let's start with the gear,
and when it comes down to this I'm a little bit autistic.
I really like everything to be tidy and clean.
That's also why I have labels everywhere.
We work with the GH5, which is the main camera,
then we've got a Mavic Air in the back,
we've got some more gimbals over there, smaller gimbals.
Here are some more smaller accessories, like tools
and batteries and clamps and quick release plates and everything.
At the bottom we've got some more clamps to hang up anything.
Over here we got the more important bags,
we got an entire bag for sound equipment, microphones, recorders and everything.
Over there we got the lens case,
we've got some more older cameras like our previous GH4, the Canon 5D Mk ii.
And then I always like to keep this workbench here clean,
that whenever we wanna work with something, like
now we are shooting with the DJI Ronin M right here,
we got a battery case, and then here on the other end of the racks
we got more lighting stuff going on.
We've got the Aputure LED panels,
the 120D, the Specular light, which is a very cool lighting, actually.
It's more for special effects, so we don't use it every time,
but it's pretty cool.
We've got the Stella lights, and these here are probably our go-to lights,
because they work on internal batteries.
They are set up in literally 5 seconds, so that makes them amazing.
We got dimmers, cables, cloths, green-screens,
some more black fabric here, some special things like gold fabrics.
We got some small tripods, a smoke machine over here,
some more other stuff, and on the bottom shelf over there
we have all tungsten lighting, we got the Arri S-Pro,
these are actually fake Arri lights.
If you start off with filmmaking don't get all the expensive stuff.
There are plenty of knockoffs that get you started.
And I actually bought this when I was still a student
and they are still working after 5 years,
so, that is great.
And because they are tungsten you don't have to worry about lighting quality.
Then here on the left side we got some costumes
and some other clothing, for example the Cinecom t-shirts.
There is the Copycat t-shirt, which I'm going to wear in just a moment,
because today is actually Friday and I have to record my voice over stuff,
so we're going to set up something in just a minute.
Here we have some more tripods, lights stands, heavy-duty tripods,
we've got tripods here, I've already said that.
We got sliders, jibs, everything we need,
we've got C-stands, some more costumes over here,
and over there we got a desktop computer which rolls on wheels.
You can connect it with a cable, of course, at the back to make it work.
And then here is probably the most important thing of the entire studio,
and that is Justine, the mannequin.
We actually use her to set up a camera frame,
to light a subject without having someone stand there,
so that works easy for us.
[Music]
A little fun fact, guys, Justine is actually not tall enough,
because she has to resemble my height
and that's why I'm putting her on a skateboard.
[Music]
-"...Welcome to Copy Cat Friday, guys!".
[Music]
So, now we got all that recorded,
Yannick And Lorenzo are now editing the next Copy Cat Friday video,
so, let's check out how they are doing in the editing room!
[Music]
This right here is Yannick's desk, he does most of the editing around here,
he tries out the next ideas and then he edits it for all the episodes that you see,
and that's why he also gets the brand-new LG Ultra Wide monitor
that was sent to us, so LG: thank you guys so much for that.
This LG monitor is a curved IPS display with an over 99% coverage of the RGB spectrum,
which makes it perfectly suitable for any creative tasks, such as video editing or photo editing.
Having an ultra wide screen is pretty cool because you can set up multiple panels in there,
and have a very wide timeline, which is very useful,
and definitely without that bezel in the middle.
Also, this monitor here is a single input display,
and that's why Yannick can still use his old monitor
for setting up more panels or media management or anything like that.
-Yannick, what is your favorite feature about this monitor?
-It's mine!
And then over here we got Lorenzo, who is doing an internship at Cinecom,
he's doing a great job,
but his internship will actually end within a week or something.
But that's okay, because he's actually going to stay a little bit longer.
More info about that very soon.
-So, what are you doing, Lorenzo?
-Right now I'm editing for Copy Cat Friday.
And then over here is my desk, the best desk of the office,
because you can give orders from here.
-Yannick, edit!
Lorenzo, go make me some coffee!
He's doing a great job here!
We always work pretty close to the deadline,
yesterday we filmed everything and today we're editing it,
that means tonight the Copy Cat Friday video has to go Live.
We don't really have a buffer, like some people think,
so we do everything real-time,
that's why we also have to rely on some good equipments here.
We've got all the latest hardware and the latest computers,
we work on a 10-gigabit network here to a local server
so we can go blazing fast.
[Music]
Another nice Cinecom production published to YouTube, guys.
Thank you all so much for watching,
I hope that you've enjoyed the studio tour.
We are heading home now,
dive into the weekend and enjoy the sun
while it's there.
Thank you all so much for watching, thank you LG for support,
And like always...
... Oh, wait!
That's right! Yannick is not weaving those t-shirts for nothing!
They're finally for sale!
You can find a link to them in the description somewhere below.
Good weekend, guys...
...and stay creative!
