- Hey guys, it's Justine and you might notice
I'm not in my current, normal, everyday Los Angeles office.
I'm somewhere different, I'm on the east coast
and that's because I have been trying to spend
as much time as I can possible with my family this year.
Since last year, I hardly got to see them at all.
So thankfully travel is open, but the work hasn't stopped.
So I've decided to set up a mini east coast office
here in my sister's basement and this is really fun
because this video is actually sponsored by HP Instant Ink
and I'm so excited about this because we partnered together
to surprise my sister and my parents
with a printer and an HP Ink subscription.
Every time I've asked my sister or my family and be like,
hey, I need to print something.
Do you guys, what do you?
Oh, you're out of ink.
Oh, your printer's old.
I don't even think it prints anymore.
And then my sister didn't even have a printer.
So I actually have an HP Instant Ink subscription
back home in Los Angeles and I love it so much
because I never have to worry
that my printer is gonna be out of ink
because if it starts running low, it tells HP
hey, Justine has an HP Instant Ink subscription,
let's send her a box of some new ink cartridges.
And what's cool is you can choose the plan
that works best for you.
They have plans starting as low as 99 cents
and you choose how many pages you think
you're gonna be printing that month.
And you can change these plans any time
if you need more pages or if you need less pages.
It's super easy, super simple.
And I am so glad that now I don't have to worry
about printing on the east coast.
So whether you print a couple of times a month
or several times a day, it really doesn't matter.
You can pick the plan that works for you.
They have plans ranging from 15 pages to 1500 pages a month,
and every page counts the same,
no matter how much ink you use.
When it runs low, replacement ink cartridges will be shipped
to your home along with a prepaid postage recycling envelope
for your used cartridges.
So if you guys are interested in HP Instant Ink,
I will put a link in the description
where you can check it out and you may actually have
a printer that's already eligible for this.
Most HP wifi enabled printers five years older or less
should be eligible for HP Instant Ink, so check it out.
And now, my friends, let's start this office tour.
I keep saying that I'm in a basement
and the perception of a basement to me
like if someone's like, oh, I've been working
out of a basement is like a grimy, dusty, dirty dungeon.
This is the complete opposite.
This is a finished basement.
I mean, she has like a couch set up, a whole gaming station
where her husband plays his video games.
She's got a bar, a freaking pool table,
and I have kind of taken over this whole corner
and Jenna has taken over the corner over there.
There's a lot of space.
So I have even been doing my lightsaber training in here.
You know, it's a basement, but like, it's not a basement.
So the first thing I'm gonna show you guys is
what I'm kind of filming on right now.
I'm filming with my Sony A7S3
and I have the 50 millimeter G master prime 1.2, oh boy.
Like this kind of looks like one of those
fake like zoom backgrounds, but look, no it's real.
Anytime I use one of these lenses with the amazing bokeh,
people on my Zoom calls always think
that it's a blurred background.
I'm like, nope, this is just high production.
A few months ago when we made our first trek out here,
I also decided, you know what,
I'm gonna just bring as much stuff as possible.
So I even checked one of my aperture lights,
which I'm using and it's been so great.
It's like a perfect key light.
I basically only need this
and there's also some natural light over here.
So it kind of fills everything in nicely.
That was all well and good until I realized
how many Zoom calls and conference calls and live shows
and streams and interviews and things
that I was also gonna be having to do from over here.
And at the same time, Jenna was gonna have to be filming.
So I went to Best Buy and bought some of these
Elgato key lights.
I love these things so much because they connect to WiFi.
I can turn the brightness down and I can control all of that
right here just from my phone.
I'm sitting in my sister's husband's gaming chair.
I don't know why I haven't bought a gaming chair
for me ever.
I've never had one, and I don't know why,
because this is the most comfortable thing
that I've ever sat in.
This has been actual game changing for editing,
like I'm just like super cozy, edit, edit.
I kind of like, I need this.
And since I have the lights and I have the camera,
I have a second A7S3 up there that I use
and connect for Zoom calls.
But most of the time I've just been using
the iMac's iSight camera...no, it's not iSight.
FaceTime, I'm sorry, hello, I'm sorry.
I have time traveled.
I've just been using the built-in webcam on the iMac,
and this is one of the new M1 iMac's you guys saw
that I did an unboxing of all of the colors
and it's actually been working out quite well
because I have been utilizing several of those iMacs.
I've left one here at my sister's house
and I've been using one at my parents' house
and Jenna has also been using one.
And then I have one more setup
running a beta version of Mac OS Monterey.
So I'm definitely utilizing a lot of technology.
And then continuing on to the desk,
we have one of the Elgato wave microphones
got the mag safe duo charger, my old air AirPods,
and of course the new AirPods max.
This mouse pad is made by nomad.
It looks cool and it's very functional.
This right here is the Thunderbolt dock by OWC
and this is also a lifesaver.
I need way more than two Thunderbolt and two USB-C ports
so this has been the perfect solution for that.
So here's my iPad pro and then behind that, you'll see,
I have two different Rubik's cubes.
I feel like the Rubik's cube for me
is what a fidget spinner is to a lot of people
who use fidget spinners for, you know,
lessening their anxiety.
I'll be sitting there on conference calls,
just like stressed about something
and I'm like, okay, all right, solved, I feel better.
I also have this little stand here
that I've got my neon X-Box controller
and then I can just put stuff in here
and right now I have a mobile tripod there.
Works for me.
And last but not least, we have the Rode caster.
I've actually been checking this in my suitcase
and just using a lot of clothing to pad it.
The amount of things that I've checked in my luggage,
that's not clothing.
I mean, I brought lightsabers home,
things that need to be in box, like full freaking boxes
and I just use like my clothes as padding.
It's like I don't even care about the clothes.
I literally wear the same thing every single day.
It's like, oh, wow, are you gonna wear a different pair
of black leggings that look exactly like the ones
you wore yesterday?
Oh, are you gonna wear probably the same sweater
that you've been wearing for the same past 500 videos?
Yeah, actually, I am.
If Steve Jobs, can have a uniform, I can have a uniform.
So that kind of does it for the desk tour.
It honestly, it's been a challenge
kind of filming in a new location
because obviously I don't have Tyler.
Hi, Tyler!
Who helps me shoot all the time.
But definitely being out of your comfort zone
when you're trying to work and shoot and film
is definitely a struggle, but I am really, really happy
that I have kind of a really great set up here
that I'm still able to make videos
and make content for you guys.
Anyway, I'm going to print out some photos now
and I'm gonna see if my little niece can tell us
who's in the pictures.
(upbeat music)
One more second, okay.
All right, so this is a printer and we have HP Instant Ink.
So when you are older, you're never gonna have to worry
about running out of ink.
Have you seen one of these before?
Okay, sit down.
Look at these pictures that we just printed.
Who is that?
- Jussy.
- Jussy! That's right, that's me.
Three people. Are you ready to do this one?
Okay, who's that?
- Mommy.
- That's mommy! Who's that?
(paper swishes)
Okay, so she's definitely more interested
in the printer than the game that I have provided for us.
Who's this? - Matty.
- That's Matty! Who's that?
- Daddy.
- Who's that?
- Mommy.
(printer whirs)
Oh, you printed an information.
We printed some information.
Here you go. That's for you.
(paper rustles)
Here, let's play this fun game again.
Nope. Okay, well.
I'm actually very impressed with the quality
of these photos. - [Brynn] An iPhone.
- That is an iPhone. - [Brynn] Jussy.
- She's never seen anything like this.
You wanna say hi to the camera.
Can you say HP?
- P.
- Forgot the H (laughs).
How much do you think I'm gonna have to pay her
for her participation?
Okay, here we go.
- [Woman] Brynn, get the picture out.
- Get the picture.
- [Woman] Who is that? (paper rustles)
- [Justine] Oh.
