Premium Desk Accessories for Creative Workflows

[@MatthewEncina]

I'm currently working on some new content about my video production process. Let me know if you have any questions by leaving a comment below, and I'll try and answer them in my upcoming video.

[@JM_Architecture]

What part of your video production process causes noticeable friction, and how do you reduce that?

[@dimitrisrammos9185]

How do you come up with fresh ideas for the videos and how much time does it take to get from an idea to a complete video?

[@phyowunnaaung9390]

It will be my pleasure if you share the storytelling process for your video production process and I believe the storytelling always bring me to watch till the end. Thank your for always sharing the great content.

[@hellodavem]

I've got so many ideas but I'm finding it a challenge to schedule and delegate those ideas into a schedule to make content, outside of my day job. Thanks Matthew

[@youkless]

Does your workspace has video games console in it , maybe when you want to take some rest you can play video games

[@JM_Architecture]

I appreciate that your desk accessory decisions aren't made arbitrarily, but rather designed with a specific program/scenario in mind. Thanks always for sharing your world-building with us Matthew!

[@MatthewEncina]

I never looked at it as “world-building” but I love that in this context. I may use that in the future. Thanks!

[@JM_Architecture]

Of course, you’re very welcome!

[@PWzhouster]

These products are PREMIUM. I've used your previous videos as reference for practices to apply and looked for cheaper alternatives to use (Etsy, Aliexpress, even doing some DIY stuff!) because I like how you think about problems & workflows. The "alternatives" part especially applies to the Grovemade stuff - the craftsmanship is remarkable, but their function is readily replaced by more budget-friendly options, and you can make/find good quality stuff elsewhere. Something to aspire to be able to afford in the future!

[@MatthewEncina]

The nice thing is that there are so many options out there. My favorite are the ones you build yourself because they're custom-made for your use-case.

[@PWzhouster]

@@MatthewEncinaYes exactly! I wanted my shelf to be exactly this height, so I made it that height! Using the best of the best as reference gives something to aim for :)

[@mredwintie]

What stood out for me the most is your absolutely simple gooseneck solution to your mic. That is an awesome idea! Everything else is as classy and top-notch, Matthew! Always a pleasure to see your videos and content! Cheers!

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks. Glad you like the idea.

[@mxmus08]

The visual vibes, music et al is just so on point, for every video. You were born to create.

[@MatthewEncina]

[@followthemoonrabbit]

Clamping a boom arm onto a monitor mount is a stroke of genius! I keep my webcam hovering above my monitor through arm extensions from the desk lighting rig, but this is way more elegant. New DIY project added to the list, thank you :-)

[@MatthewEncina]

You're welcome. Let me know how it goes!

[@damilarearowojobe5436]

I love watching your process, Matthew. You allow me to think outside the box, and realise there's always a better way to do a certain task.

[@MatthewEncina]

I’m glad the content can be helpful to you in that way. Cheers.

[@PeterPaulMasigan]

I see you- Editing 5 frames simultaneously at the 5:25 mark! Great stuff.

[@MatthewEncina]

[@hxpers]

the gooseneck clamp and the convenience of your charging spots were really great. I'll be incorporating those in my setup for sure.

[@MatthewEncina]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shaydadollar]

Matthew, I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your outstanding content. Your videos consistently stand out with their high quality, aesthetic appeal, and impeccable editing. It's clear that you put a lot of effort and dedication into your work, and it truly shines through. From the visuals to the overall presentation, everything about your content is top-notch. Your videos have a unique and refreshing style that sets them apart, and I always look forward to watching them. I hope for my spaces to be as clean, minimal, organized, functional, and beautiful as yours. Your dedication to creating such visually stunning and harmonious environments is truly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work! Your creativity and talent are a true inspiration to many.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment. I appreciate you.

[@shua_films]

Loved the “everything everywhere all at one” reference 😂 4” great video bro I yearn to be this clean lol

[@MatthewEncina]

👋🏽

[@youkless]

Thank for sharing Mathew, I really love how everything in your desk is not only visually stunning but functional, every item has it's functionality, as someone who is i the creative feild you inspire me a lot Mathew in everything you do

[@MatthewEncina]

I appreciate that.

[@hvaranhvaran]

The shelfs and the rail are my favorite here! I've had a DIY monitor stand, so used it as an additional shelf under and on top of it - SOO much more space for small things that you usually need quickly because you got an idea to note. Rail - I thought about getting a bookstand to prop up my notebook during meetings or to view my references better, now I see I wasn't the only one who wanted their notes vertical))

[@MatthewEncina]

If "perfection" was a KZbin Channel , I think it would be this one !

[@mowenurbano4677]

I think you're the only youtuber that I'm anticipating for your uploads. I don't know but your videos are so entertaining and also insipiring at the same time

[@MatthewEncina]

I appreciate that!

[@nlknauss]

I really appreciate your approach to the design process and would love to see more content on product design that involves 3D modeling. Awesome content throughout! I look forward to everything you post!

[@MatthewEncina]

Noted. Thanks

[@ayeryhoy...]

Having an inspiring and clean spacework is crucial nowadays

[@MatthewEncina]

It helps me, for sure.

[@madysVids]

I was going to setup my own desk and since it was my first time to start working from home your video has a lot of information for me to learn and inspire. Thank you for making this video.

[@MatthewEncina]

You’re welcome.

[@BornBurmese]

Love the flexible arm to mount and put away the microphone when not in use

[@MatthewEncina]

👌🏽

[@Dada.kolawole]

chief I love your style and taste. I am a landscape architect and photographer i am still in the process of curating my youtube channel and my own home studio. Thanks for the content .its inspiring and directive .Lovely ring by the way .. love from Nigeria.

2:39 That was the first time anyone has ever seen you talk lol! No wonder it is the most replayed part of your video!

I take so much inspiration from your videos. They are like a moment of zen.

[@MatthewEncina]

Cheers

[@nickcruz4079]

I always love your setups! They give me so much inspo for my own! Where did you get the keyboard cable its amazing!?!

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks. It’s custom made from Dispatch Cables

[@gigobanaag]

Another great video as always! 🙌 I love how each desk accessory serves a specific function for your workflow, something everyone should take into account before buying any accessories (haha). I'm still working out which item fits my workflow the best. Thank you for sharing this video; Matthew, you definitely inspire a lot of us. ☺

[@MatthewEncina]

I appreciate that. My favorite accessories are the one that serve multi-function purposes. Like the Display Rail to hold notes, to-dos, devices, and sketches.

[@gigobanaag]

@@MatthewEncina That helps a lot! Many thanks! 😁

[@mylifepart2]

so nice...such a clean office work space...i think its so important to have a space to do your work in...very inspiring..thank you...

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks

[@otter-pro]

I like the idea of shelf containing pen and pencils that can become a tray, so I can get access to all the stuff on the desk.

[@MatthewEncina]

They're very hand to have.

[@radarmgmt]

I got the Opal based on your recommendation and it's fantastic. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@MatthewEncina]

It’s replaced my camera rig at home too. Solid 👌🏽

[@MrAshwin74]

You always find the balance between providing value and calm for your followers. You show us how these products make your life easier and how best to use them, as-well as introducing us to better ways of working. Your delivery is relaxing and the pace is bang on. I never watch any of your videos without dropping everything and making a fresh brew of coffee, so I can truly enjoy the experience of your videos. I definitely find your workspace my biggest inspiration, and the ideas and tools i have adopted from your videos have definitely added value to my workflow and the added joy I have in my workspace. Thanks for the content Matthew - "With that out of the way, it's time to get back to work!" 🧭🪴🖥🎒

Thanks, I believe I got it from Dispatch cables.

[@NoelLines]

Amazing setup! The desk shelf you use looks so nice. Just the mic that seems overkill for video calls.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks. The mic is a solve for a problem, I find annoying. Probably doesn’t bother most, but something that’s hard for me to look past.

[@VagabondSoftware]

This studio design series is insanely good. Thanks for sharing :)

Do you have a video of how you have that laptop tray with the cal digit dock right beside. That's exactly what I've been looking for and so far your the only one in ALL of youtube I can find!

Love the visuals on this video! Was wondering the case on the speckled keyboard was?

[@MatthewEncina]

It's the Mason 60 Zen by Brazen

[@Lucas_S91]

That video editing tool seems like an amazing fidget toy when not in use

[@MatthewEncina]

It is pretty fun to play with.

[@sazmeros]

I had one of those controller wheels and it worked really well. Just wish it was a bit cheaper

[@MatthewEncina]

Yes, it's quite helpful, and what I used to color this video. I think for the time it saves me, it's worth it. But of course, do what's right for your situation.

[@instapho]

WOW really inspirational setup, great video. Do you have a link to the laptop under mount, haven’t seen a low profile one like that before

[@ZianiLounes]

I love your videos Matthew, very inspirational!

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks!

[@thomaspipermusic]

Another Banger but I do have a suggestion a studio monitor from Adam or Yamaha or Adam would be better for your production of videos studio Monitors are flat sounding and you can hear what is wrong with audio and they can be a good price too. You want accurate sound not speakers that sound good. the white Yamahas HS Series would fit your studio space well

[@MatthewEncina]

I appreciate you pointing that out. The HS monitors do look nice! Do you think having these would still be efficient/useful in my echo-y space? It's not professionally sound-treated. Wondering if headphones are still the best route for this purpose, considering my situation.

[@cybaboots]

I really enjoyed this video so much I've watched it twice lol. I'm interested in how you set up the TourBox for premiere pro. I have had one for years, but for some reason, I have not been able to figure out a workflow that allows me to use it often.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks! I've mostly used it for color correction. I believe I started with one of the templates they've provided (maybe they're new to their app?) and did slight customization from there. But it's really helped me dial in and match my footage across the board before I do my final pass of color grading.

[@mykaelnazare]

Love the way you approach your needs and solutions! Currently going through changes in my studio, thanks for sharing and inspiring. But my question is not related to that. What shoes are those? hahaha

[@sergimiquelasala823]

It’s been a long time following your content from Barcelona. Inspired by your videos I have considered HÅG Capisco Puls 8020 (color grey) which I think it would be a good option for your back as well and helps you stay active. It is a hybrid option between your two chairs😙

[@MatthewEncina]

I've heard a lot about that, as some old co-workers used them. Very nice. Maybe I'll give it a try some day.

[@tituspauwels460]

Hey I think your videos are great, and I'm also very busy with design. I was therefore wondering what your experience is with Apple for 3D design and rendering.

[@MatthewEncina]

If you're doing heavy GPU rendering, I think PCs are still better suited. But for me, general modeling and still frame rendering, it's great.

[@modekeyboards]

That's one good looking and sounding keyboard! 😉

[@MatthewEncina]

[@sheryla.8122]

Love it, but wondering which monitor/display you're using? (Perhaps it's listed and I somehow overlooked it?)

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks. It’s the XDR

[@QualityScrub]

Ohh you’re on the Gateron Raw hype train too. They’re amazing!

[@MatthewEncina]

Exploring. I like how they look, but the sound is a little on the harsh side for my tastes. I think additional lubing or break-in could help with that.

[@GnaRocksTheWorld]

I really liked the workarounds you shared during the video! It never occurred to me that you could mount a webcam on top of a light bar using 3M strips 🤯. I also face the issue having a mic (with a mic arm) being visually cluttered, though I don't think I can mount it to the back of my monitor as I am using a monitor stand (instead of monitor arm). Might mount it to a shelf I have above my monitor instead!

[@MatthewEncina]

A shelf could work, or mounting directly to the desk. You might need to buy a longer gooseneck arm, or daisy-chain a few together.

[@RadIguanas]

Great content. What are the two thick rulers on your pegboard🤔? The "triangle" one and the "loop" one ✨👌
