Desk Transformation For Photographers and Videographers 2022

[@jsengfoo3756]

Man, the combination between a modern minimalistic setup, nature vibes + open space with natural lighting is just *chef's kiss*

[@MichaelSasser]

Thank you! It's been great

[@GTANP]

I’ve watched a lot of desk setups but my gawd. Yours is the best, that natural sunlight. The organization. I Love it

[@MichaelSasser]

Thank you so much!

[@Matt_Bowden]

I’ve been binging setup videos lately as I redo my own room, the production value on this one, the paint, the plants, the black metal with wood accents is all so cozy and amazing. Awesome work!

[@MichaelSasser]

That's awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@dougscott188]

Great setup. I like the brown chair in the background.

[@MichaelSasser]

Me too!

[@edtrino8626]

Love the adjustable table, the monitor, the MacBook, even the fake plant everything just love it. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@TheFilmCouple_]

Super nice setup, you've inspired me to update my desk and setup!

[@approximatelybored]

Am I the only one who hears audio peaking ?

[@AlpineTundra]

I think so, I don’t hear anything

[@javicollado]

nope , me too. It’s distorted.

[@shdesignco]

Ever so slightly, good sound he just needs to lower the levels

[@Lee-e]

I have watched many office setup videos and it was getting boring, as the only things that kept on changing in those videos were the specs of the setup and not the office space itself. Your office setup's positioning of table, monitors and the flow of natural light is so unique, I can't express enough - I am so impressed. 🤩

[@MichaelSasser]

That is great to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@jeffryesmeralda]

Dope desk transformation, Michael! I love the monitor, new walnut desk, cable management, peg board charging station and shelving unit. Great job! I can't wait to transform my own space. Keep creating!

[@MichaelSasser]

Thanks! Good luck with yours!

[@sbadkins]

Thanks Michael, inspired…. ready to spend some money now. Great vid, totally feeds my OCD 😅

[@JerrySchulze]

Fantastic setup! Can you explain what you are using to mount your key light and the A camera?

[@MichaelSasser]

amzn.to/3yqFRuv they are Baby Pin wall plates. They are so solid and can handle a lot of weight!

[@JerrySchulze]

@@MichaelSasser thanks so much!

[@JerrySchulze]

@@MichaelSasser Also, are you using 3 separate ones for the light, camera and mic?

[@brad_in_yyc]

The only thing I could see being better is you need more film! Great video Michael.

[@romandarobot7732]

Absolutely inspirational and exactly what I needed to see thank you!!

[@timgrieves]

Love the set up. Glad to see you back on YT

[@MichaelSasser]

Got a few more lined up so keep an eye out!

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

Great Video!!! Now I may use this vid for inspiration too :)

[@MichaelSasser]

Please do!

[@THEBELLCURVE96]

Glad to see you back making more videos.

[@MichaelFairbank]

Love this setup! The ambient lighting really gives me "twitch streamer" vibes in the best possible way!

[@markcrigler613]

a great video that helps us with the other side of photography: CLUTTER . I'm particularly interested in the wall charging station, and the clear plastic storage bins. That would help me immensely, but i didn't see any sources referenced. Can you provide them?

[@MichaelSasser]

I just added them to the description! Thanks for the reminder.

[@Rayllamas]

That setup is awesome

[@aimee9925]

Lovely setup! Where did you get the artificial bonsai tree? Is that the 11.8x9.8inch one from Amazon?

[@MichaelSasser]

Just on amazon!

[@ROYSMoGraphDesign9900k]

it's pretty much Great & perfect setup , Looks pro also🔥 i personally like that *Monitor Stand & Desk* more then other stuffs..

[@tp38]

What is the color the paint used in your background on the wall and door? It's a beautiful color. Please let me know the brand and paint color. Thanks!

[@MichaelSasser]

Yikes, I dunno! A pretty neutral grey if I remember correctly. I didn't want it to be too warm or cool for the background. It's been great.

[@shawnellis7504]

Super neat & I hope to get my set up like or close to that someday 😅

[@MichaelSasser]

You can do it!

[@jholid6y]

You always inspire me. Ty!

[@MichaelSasser]

I'm so glad!

[@romiemiller7876]

A lot of good ideas here. I don;t have as many batteries as you-yet. But, I'll remember all this in case I ever do. I like the monitor stand.

[@MichaelSasser]

Yea, the monitor stand has been amazing

[@craigdixon41]

Dude! Great set up. It's such a refreshing feeling to get a new setup that has everything you need. I almost feel excited to work in that space lol. Question? Do you use that gimbal? I had that model and couldn't get it to work properly with the Sony A7riii. Man the new ronin gimbals are a thousand times better and easier to set up and balance than that older sc.

[@MichaelSasser]

Glad its inspiring! Yea, the gimbal has been fine. I only use it for these KZbin videos, but it does the trick. I'm sure the newer ones are better but I haven't been disappointed enough to upgrade.

[@craigdixon41]

@@MichaelSasser I bought a new one because that gimbal wouldn't balance properly with the weight of the a7riii and a wide angle sigma lens. I was surprised by how easy the new models balance. And the quick release set up. Those two things right there made my day. Other than that they both function well and do the trick.

[@BurlapandLight]

Love this. I need to get rid of my tanker desk and it's drawers. All I do is shove stuff in them.

[@MichaelSasser]

Yessss

[@BurlapandLight]

@@MichaelSasser Now to recover from the 50R purchase! LOL!!!!

[@NikCan66]

Always produce great content on a regular basis

[@alricfarmer]

Love the charging wall. Do you have extra changes you take with you on giggs or do you unplug the ones from the wall?

[@MichaelSasser]

Yea, I have it for my camera, most everything else can be charged USB like the gimbal, 360 cam. Some people have it to where you can pop off the chargers, but that means you can't have the cable organizer as good as I have it.

[@keysncoffee7733]

You got me at the intro shot of the organized storage compartments that are neatly labeled 🥹

[@kispie]

Love the video!! Been looking for some good containers to store my cables in and these are perfect!! Got a store close by so I can swing by and pick some up! Nice job on your setup and keep up the amazing work!

[@MichaelSasser]

That is awesome!

[@mobilography6786]

Its an ideal video for us to tidy up clutter.

[@georgewithmore8972]

I had no idea software like that existed for cable management. The kind of software that would help me a lot right now that I'm making all kinds of changes to my setup. I just received my Protractor desk from Manhattan Home Design and really want to make it as functional as possible. Thanks for the video! Very useful and interesting.

[@MichaelSasser]

You got it!

[@JoshuaJEnriquez]

Awesome setup! Im not quite sure, but is there something off with the audio thru your mic? I slightly hear some hiss here and there

[@MichaelSasser]

I'm hearing a few people say that, I'll keep an eye on it for future videos and see if I can clean it up! Thanks for watching :)

[@FaisalDev]

Keep the good work !

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Wow, I love your Photography Room. I am impressed. Awesome. I applause for you. Congratulations. I love Everything like that. Wow. 🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾👍👊❤️. Excellent. You did a Great Job. It is amazing. Your Dreams came true. You made it. You did. You earned it. 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🌈🌈🌈🌈😊

[@antonseliverstof]

Incredible!

[@_EllisTan]

Hi Michael, great video! It's really amazing to see your progression throughout these last few years. What kind of chair are you using?

[@MichaelSasser]

amzn.to/3OhEAeh Here you go! It's this drafting chair

[@PurseyProductions]

This video is brilliant! Your setup is stunning and very inspiring! What chair are you using?

[@MichaelSasser]

Hey! I'm using a drafting chair because most aren't tall enough amzn.to/3OhEAeh

[@mrhogan003]

Great setup. How do you like working in the corner of the desk as opposed to having the keyboard/mouse on either side of the desk? I was thinking of doing the same thing but it seems like it would be awkward sitting or standing with the right angle directly in front of you.

[@JahdielSaneo]

it actually may serve as a really really good armrest. think of it as the desk hugging you as it slightly wraps around you. it feels secure. In my opinion, it just may not be the best use of space since with L desks i always think you could 2 desktops instead of 1. But in his situation, he only needs 1 setup and 1 monitor so he can use the space (i have an L desk at work, currently use both sides not the corner.)

[@MichaelSasser]

I really like it personally, I feel like I have more space. But to each their own. I think most people don't have as much space as I have to make the L desk work.

[@joopvoorhorst]

Where have you been? Charged up for a new season? ;-) And yes: I love the set up. I have the same without the fancy monitor, new MBP and keypad...

[@MichaelSasser]

Thanks! Yes indeed, needed some time to reassess

[@alricfarmer]

thunder bolt hub, is mind blowing. thanks for that tip.

[@MichaelSasser]

Such a great addition to make the whole setup possible

[@Rocky_KO]

Does the fan noise from your Thunderbay annoy you? I noticed at 5:15 that it has the crappy Sunon fan, you can easily change it out with screwdrivers to something higher quality. I'm using Noctua NF-A9 FLX fan with their NA-SRC10 voltage resistor cable to lower the constant, max fan speed. Where did you get the clear drawers and labels at 11:45? Loving the super organization.

[@MichaelSasser]

It hasn't been too much of a problem recording audio, so I'm happy with it.

[@hugoaugustofrancodelima6270]

esse vídeo é perfeito , gostei de mais da parte que você já colocou os 3 vids que te influenciou na questão dos cabos, pois estou passando por isso (organização de fios) ´ótimo vídeo! obrigao!! - thabsk for the vid man, really helps me ! ♥

[@puchwat]

What do you think about the impact of color neutrality behind the monitor and lighting on the colors and contrast we see on the monitor?

[@MichaelSasser]

I don't focus on it too much. Lightroom has a grey background. Maybe if I were coloring for Versace or something. But for my clients, I feel like a shade one direction or another doesn't make or break the final images.

[@SPStakem]

Love this! So much inspiration here. I can't wait for the day that I have a workspace as beautiful as yours. Serious Question: What lens are you using on the body when you record videos? Random Question: Can you do a video on the brands of clothing you wear? Your shirts always look sharp. Haha. Thanks Michael!

[@MichaelSasser]

Hey Shaun! Its usually a 16-35mm 2.8 at around 28mm or a 35mm 1.4 at about f/2. For clothes its a lot of John Varvatos, some ATM, some Velvet, lots of good spots

[@baymax1076]

Would you mind if I ask where you get the black shelf from?

[@MichaelSasser]

Yikes, I wish I could tell you! A friend helped me pick it out and order it.

[@ericcsim2474]

Wow this is amazing! Been looking ideas for my L desk setup, I wonder what’s your desk size? It looks comfortable

[@MichaelSasser]

I love the L shape. Great for resting my arms, have workspaces on the left and right. 10/10 would recommend.

[@David.J.Delahoussaye]

Isn't that lighter amazing. I have two of them. A little overkill but the greatest thing ever

[@MichaelSasser]

I love it, Took me a long time to find the perfect one!

[@EdgardoRosa]

Nice setup

[@cshjustin]

What is the brand of the deskpad ? Are they good?

[@MichaelSasser]

One is from uplift, and the other I think is just an amazon brand.

[@katefore5715]

Super inspiring! Excuse me while I go redo my entire workspace. Also, did I catch a Schecter in there? 👌

[@MichaelSasser]

Its an Ibanez that looks like a Schecter, but I just got a Fender Strat and I've been loving playing it!

[@stevenev74]

You have a really nice setup there and great to see you back… does this mean you’ll be doing more content now? :)

[@MichaelSasser]

Look for some new videos soon!

[@fernypad9306]

Where can I find that brown chair in the background?

[@xjuanx92]

Hi Michael. Great vid, had the same issues with the Razor pad from your last video. I think you should check out the Streamdeck version. It can do the same functionality as your Moonlander, but has multiple pages to tab through to program other apps and customizable button function/button cap. Its been a great tool since that last video you made with the Razor pad.

[@MichaelSasser]

I'll check it out, but yes, the moonlander can also tab between a bunch of different Layouts. Thanks!

[@davidturner5]

Hi, Michael, Great video, as always. Did I miss the link to the video that inspired your charging station? Maybe it's one of the three inspiration links you did provide, but it's not obvious from the title. Thanks.

[@MichaelSasser]

Ooops, I forgot to add it, check now in the description with the Inspo links.

[@iamdanfleser]

did u recorded in 10fps?

[@jaimecss]

What about your speakers? What are they?

[@MichaelSasser]

I decided on these! amzn.to/3R8anAK Plus a sub, I've been happy with them. I wish they were a tiny more treble-y but they are the best I've found for the size.

[@Angielmv]

What chair are you using for your desk?

[@MichaelSasser]

I added it to the description of the video :)

[@TheArtOfJerry]

Haha .. I read "dark transformation" ... Haha what am I thinking 😂
