[@NewLayer]

I think people underestimate how inspiring a space can be when it's aesthetic and just "feels" right. This setup looks amazing, and the B-roll is next level here! Really shows off your skill as a designer as well.

[@joenicklo]

Thank you brother. Love your space as well.

[@andererYanic]

So recently i watched like 30 of those office setup videos and this is legit the first one to tell the viewer, that it doesn't need to be appealing to anyone but yourself

[@joenicklo]

I’m glad that resonated with you. Pinning this comment.

[@soundboy89]

I too have been down that rabbit hole lately

[@blvck.8197]

me too lol im addicted cause im renovating my space soon as well lol

[@DeadLegMedia]

as falling down this rabbit hole of ultimate setups and such Ive redone my own office at least 20+ times this year alone just moving things around to get to what flows the best. My first setup after the pc build would have looked great for youtube, but didnt work so well to daily drive. Now its fairly plane Jane but very functional. My wife wants me to redo her office but I keep emphasizing that I will help and do all the work, but its her space so she needs to feel things out. Love the setup and function with form

[@nathanaelbishop5480]

i dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@niteshapte]

Best setup. This is the only setup in which there is natural light coming in. Otherwise, in all the other setups I haven't seen any natural light, infact, none of them are even near a window. In all those setups you have to keep lights on even daytime. But this one is really good. Natural light, fresh air from window. Excellent setup.

[@joenicklo]

Natural light was very important for me to have. Not only for me but the real plants too 😜

[@rajkrish9347]

That opening music - retro sounding & relaxing.

[@joenicklo]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@MatthewEncina]

Great space. Loving the personal items scattered throughout.

[@joenicklo]

Matthew! Thanks for checking this out buddy. No lie, I drew a lot of inspiration from your videos.

[@himaruenochdesilva]

Mathew is here. Omg great you are so inspiring to me aswell

[@Alessamusic]

Matthew

[@smilinsword]

Good lord, Never thought I'd finish a 13 min Home office tour. But this felt to so calm and soothing to watch. Quality work!

[@joenicklo]

That means a lot to me :) glad you stuck through.

[@garyjones101]

I like your use of a dining table. I like the ability to spread things out and not feel cramped by the objects on top of it.

[@joenicklo]

I got the idea from a studio I worked for in my 20’s. They used IKEA dining room tables for the desks.

[@subbuchan]

one of the most tasteful office space I have seen. Kudos. Totally enjoyed it .

[@joenicklo]

Wow, thank you!

[@MastersonMedia]

You’ve got to have lights, light stands, c stands and tripods around somewhere right? What sort of setup do you have to store those?

[@joenicklo]

At that time, I just put the stands in the closet off to the side of the shelf.

[@MastersonMedia]

Have you came up with something else since?

[@joenicklo]

Sort of. For lighter weight stands I picked up a spring loaded broom rack off of Amazon and I drilled it into the wall. It holds my light stands and boom pole. I wouldn’t put a c-stand on it though. For larger/heavier stands I just keep them built out and in the corner of the studio (I’ve got a much larger space since this video).

[@reganroader123]

This is a great setup! Thanks for mentioning that the space should reflect you, lot of folks are missing this. You need to walk into your home office space and feel inspired!

[@joenicklo]

Very true!

[@DubbleD69]

Love the honesty in this vid. Can’t put my thumb on exactly what that is, but it’s there. I think it was the comment about making your workspace your own, to reflect who you are, that got me. Subscribed, and cheers mate.

[@joenicklo]

I really appreciate your comment. Sorry for the delayed reply.

[@CreativeThinking52]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day. 😊👍

[@joenicklo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@CameronHall]

As a freelance Cinematographer who is also a massive Marvel comics reader, I appreciate the personality to your space so much. All that matters is my camera gear, my editing workstation, my comic books and my Marvel statues haha. Great video and also subscribed!

[@joenicklo]

Hell yeah! Thanks for watching. One thing though....DC > Marvel ;)

[@CameronHall]

@@joenicklo Haha I'm unsubscribing now you have said that. I'm also a big fan of Batman and Superman but mainly from watching the JL and JLU animated series. I want to get into DC comics series properly some day but at the same time it's like learning a new language, you know with Marvel especially years ago I remember it taking some time to understand the sagas and then when large comic events happened and it reboots the universes and numbering etc. Actually now I'm thinking about it I do have some DC titles like the Superman 'Earth One' and Batman 'Earth One' hardbacks which I thought were brilliant from a few years ago when it released as well as 'The Killing Joke' - Just gotta get on those actual comic book series.

[@joenicklo]

@@CameronHall With soooo many reboots it all gets hard to follow. Love all comics though. DC, Marvel, Dynamite, Valiant, Image you name it. Around when the stoppage of comics started last year, I'm unfortunately not reading anything at the moment :( Will prob pick up some of the Red Sonja and X-O Manowar issues I've missed.

[@CameronHall]

​@@joenicklo Oh wow so you are into a lot of variety compared to sticking with Marvel and DC, that's interesting I bet there are some real high quality series out there for sure. Yeah that is the same for me at the moment too with not currently reading anything, it's been good to backtrack through what I do have though and flick through some of the issues I forgot I had. Very nostalgic haha. I'm also expecting you to be very happy about the new release of Zack Snyder's Justice League in a few days, I've heard it's supposed to be very good!

[@joenicklo]

I’m oddly not a fan of team books, whether Justice League or Avengers BUT Scott Snyder is the man.

[@kevincaines1960]

Geez man this setup is so clean, never knew someone other than me in south Florida is actually interested in having a nice minimalistic setup and doing film making.

[@j11hnb]

Lol, what is minimal about this setup?

[@joenicklo]

Haha Yeah I'm here man! Gonna be shooting in Miami Friday.

[@bullworkz]

Great office and awesome work bench! Nice way to modify the bench with carpet. Gives it a soft, refined look. Thanks for sharing!

[@gowithjames59]

I saw many videos on this series. This is THE BEST, Too classy ❤ The way you showcasing your room, it's something ❤ I do respect all of the others also. They also do their best. ❤

[@joenicklo]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ben7286]

You can easily tell Joe KNOWS and LOVES what he's doing, the quality of this video is INSANE!

[@joenicklo]

Thanks Ben! I think it's important to do what you love for a living. I'm blessed that I'm able to do that.

[@FlyingLapMedia]

Stylish. Organized. Well thought out. And well explained. Looks like a dream office. Nice job.

[@joenicklo]

Ty for watching!

[@JRBeckford]

I appreciate how refreshingly down-to-earth the setup and items featured are in this video. Considering your profession, I was expecting something so over the top and I am pleasantly surprised. Thank you for sharing your productivity setup at home!

[@joenicklo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@EthanBares]

Fantastic video man. Beautiful visuals. No BS. Just you being you. Really enjoyed this video. Immediately subscribed because I could tell you're just a genuine guy and a businessman over a youtuber

[@joenicklo]

Much appreciated! I'm glad you said that last part...that's my goal!

[@Disciple1968]

Absolutely loved this. It was so refreshing to see a setup that wasn't a copy paste rgb and actually had some real personality to it. It has definitely boosted my room set up to be based around what I love, no matter how unusual that might be. Thank you.

[@joenicklo]

Sorry for the late reply, this means a lot to me. Thank you for watching. Be sure to check out my new office tour.

[@joshuapillai591]

I like the honest intro about yourself, I don't have much knowledge about cameras but hopefully I'll learn something new 👍🏽

[@joenicklo]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@NihazVIDZ]

One of the best home office set up I have ever seen on KZbin, firstly I love that brick wall. , and the way you presented the details. From the walls to the desk , simply superb !

[@joenicklo]

Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully KZbin recognizes that too and bumps me up in search results 😂😂

[@Heretobrowse]

I was searching youtube for some gear storage inspiration and came across your channel. Your work bench is very cool! I have a similar shelf kicking around was begging for a purpose. Thanks!

[@joenicklo]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kakegarcia8056]

Hi and thanks for the video! Question: what makes frame skipping on the B-Roll shots? Bests regards from a Venezuelan viewer in Panama!

[@joenicklo]

That’s my motorized slider stuttering.

This is the most inspiring office setup videos I ever watched. New subscriber here!

[@joenicklo]

Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@farhanakhtar8252]

I loved the carpet idea! Awesome Setup man!

[@shadowlab9543]

i love the context that form the boundarys for the office build.

[@mcleach71]

I am changing career paths and looking for ideas on setting up a home work space. I was digging this video right up until I saw the Munson card. You sir, are my new best friend. Munson was my first hero growing up, I played catcher, I became a pilot, love the Yanks, all because of the seeds planted so long ago. He needs to be in the Hall.

[@joenicklo]

Surprised he's not in the HoF. I wasn't alive when he played but my father told me stories....and of course I watched the old World Series VHS tapes ;)

[@RobVice]

Joe, this is incredibly well-produced video, I applaud you!

[@joenicklo]

Thanks!

[@5smoothstonesproject740]

I have watched a ton of office setup videos and this is a great space. I love that chair.

[@joenicklo]

Appreciate you watching. Have you seen my new one? :)

[@madrizz01]

awesome video and office. love what you said at the end of the video about how you should design the office for YOU and not social media or anyone else.

[@joenicklo]

thanks for watching, especially long enough that you got to the message at the end :) That means a lot to me.

[@harmeharsethi5754]

You have organised your space very specifically. The last tip told by you is so much appealing .

[@joenicklo]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I love watching office tour videos, and they're making me think about what things I like. Your office looks very relaxing.

[@joenicklo]

Thanks! Did you watch the updated video yet?

[@hanizamstudio5039]

I don't know why. But I watch your video, I feel so calm and the way you deliver your home office setup. Love your room btw and I'm subscribing so that I can improve my channel ! 😊 Hello from Malaysia!

[@joenicklo]

Thank you so much for watching. Sorry for taking so long to reply.

[@Ansonandco]

I’m drooling over this entire space!

[@joenicklo]

haha! glad you like it man.

[@TheCarCreative]

Super cool to see the editing space and the personality behind it. Thanks for sharing ✌🏼

[@joenicklo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MBmysterio]

I love this. I'm thinking of having a brick wallpaper up and a frame with a New York map in it among other things. Does your 1-ON-1 COACHING SESSION cover how to film for a KZbin channel and what not? I'm thinking of setting up a software engineering-based channel once I get a few years under my belt.

[@joenicklo]

Hi glad you enjoyed this. My coaching does indeed cover filming KZbin vids

[@FlorianJacoby]

Awesome setup ! Nice choice for the Yamaha, got it in my studio and they're clearly one of the best monitor on the market 🔥

[@joenicklo]

Totally agree!

[@aceva8305]

Could you please make a tutorial on the storage shelf? It looks amazing!

[@joenicklo]

Not sure it's really worth doing a tutorial on. You just buy the shelf with wood panels, some outdoor or marine carpet...get some wood glue and a staple gun and Bob's your uncle.

[@kastlerak1709]

Bro I like your style and seems were on the same personality I appreciate your design and art. great!

[@joenicklo]

I appreciate that!

[@ganeshbagav7]

Thanks for that personalised setup line that was very heart touching 💕🌸

[@joenicklo]

You are so welcome

[@amiruler]

awesome set up! and nice video man..Very clean, nicely lit and color graded... your voice is somewhat soothing too..haha.. you have my sub! Cheers

[@joenicklo]

Hah! I appreciate it :)

[@SamuelGofaro]

such a nice workspace! congratulations

[@joenicklo]

Thank you!

[@paskowitz]

Damn, this is a crispy setup video. I love the color palette. Everything is purposeful but still personal. I like how you didn't skip over the analog stuff like the planner. Makes the vid more than just XYZ tech showcase. And that ending note... so true. Knocked it out of the park.

[@joenicklo]

Thanks bud! I was just telling someone last night that my favorite shot in the entire video is of me writing in the planner.

[@nottommythao]

Love the set up, man. Loved the portion of the video where you talk about personal items you like to use to decorate your set up. I've noticed that a lot of "dream set ups" I see now look clean but lack any personality at all. Happy to see that you emphasized YOU in a "My Setup" type video.

[@joenicklo]

Thank you Tommy! That seems to have resonated with a lot of folks and it makes me really happy to get comments like yours. I hope more people see this and understand what I’m saying there.

[@Anik4Life]

This is perhaps the last video I look at before I build my own workspace :) It only needs to appeal to myself. Thanks :)

[@joenicklo]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@WillKlein]

Really enjoyed this. I have the same two monitor brand/dimensions, maybe different models. Solid combo. I also like the bin organization, I run some IKEA bins but really like your suggestions for alternative options. I like your table/desk the best! The leg/corners just look amazing.

[@WillKlein]

Oh, and I'm like you on the RGB. Simple colors for normal use, but dial up those rainbows for the kids!

[@joenicklo]

The legs are just such a gorgeous feature of this table. There are days where I wish I had bought the smaller version but its too late now. C&B discontinued the Big Sur line after 10+ years of it being in their catalog.

[@melankolikfilms]

Love the aesthetic and purpose of your home office! If I had to choose just one thing about your office tour, it would be the cohesiveness, which is an underrated aspect of home offices. Some nice adulting going on! Going to have to make a video about my home set-up, I guess. Looking forward to the KZbin studio set-up.

[@joenicklo]

I appreciate the comment. Haha love “adulting”

[@discos-revenge]

Can you please include a link for the bookshelf you have (@ 9:12) and the table lamp shown @ 9:20? Great video and amazing setup!

[@joenicklo]

Hi, I think Crate & Barrel discontinued the exact wall shelf, but it's from the Beckett line. Here are the shelves. bit.ly/3vtxgTq I think that if you search the web, you'll find an alternative. The lamp is actually something I found at Homegoods so I can't link it. No clue what the brand is or where its from.

[@PuleenPatel]

By far the best office setup. And some of your work is truly exciting. You've got a new follower. :)

[@joenicklo]

Appreciate the kinds words.

[@atacama677]

Really lovely space you have here. Where did you get that ladder shelf?

[@joenicklo]

Which one? The one that's on the wall? That's the "Beckett" from Crate & Barrel. I believe it's been discontinued. The other shelf is the Pilsen Graphite & Walnut, also from Crate & Barrel and I believe it's still available.

[@richieboy316]

man you have an AWESOME SETUP!

[@joenicklo]

Glad you think so!

You should check out the LG 32" UN880-b 4K with ergo arm. That's what I'm getting for color accuracy (photo/video editing) and the arm, in particular, is pretty awesome for my type of peninsula-style desk setup.

[@joenicklo]

Checking it out now! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@joenicklo]

wow, that thing is way more affordable than I had expected. 32" 4K is definitely nice too.

[@lynneftw]

@@joenicklo Yeah, I thought about bigger, but, this size can go vertical if necessary.

I'm a mech engineer who also finally went on a journey of filmmaking, so I'm running a tech youtube channel with pc hardware and review stuff, im investing a lot on quality this week just received my new Canon R6 and also migrated to davinci! Loved to see you space, gear and all! 🤘⚡

[@jacobjensen8147]

I love the personal accents you've incorporated into your styling. I want to emulate your approach of creating a space that reflects my life and my memories. I love the baseball you have... a HR ball your dad caught for you at Yankee Stadium. Where did you get that display case? It's gorgeous.

[@joenicklo]

Thank you Jacob. Appreciate you taking the time to watch. The case for the baseball was from Etsy!

[@JCL-hb3pg]

Ooooo how about that lamp behind you though? That thing looks sweet! - Thanks for the video

[@javieralmanzar7892]

I want to get one. Where can I find it?

It was a Homegoods find.

Great Video! Just subbed. Love so many little parts of what you've done but liked the advice about keeping in mind "who" you're designing for when doing your space! Right on! And of course great job filming and editing.

[@joenicklo]

I appreciate your comment! Glad my words resonated with you.

[@thebandit4393]

Great job with the whole workspace. I love the amazing B-roll you put into this video! I thought for sure you would runout, but somehow you kept new and interesting footage coming throughout the video, with more and more details to keep interest. I wonder if the outdoor carpet on your gear bench will encourage damaging ESD (electrostatic discharge). All these devices should be housed and electronically protected from ESD, but I would avoid placing memory cards or bare electronics on those surfaces for fear or damage or memory corruption.

[@joenicklo]

thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Interesting point about the ESD. I've seen plenty of studios/people do the carpeted workbench but I've never thought about it. I keep my memory cards in cases, but good call for sure!

[@JoeyJukes]

The Yamaha AG03 is such a convenient little hybrid interface/mixer! Love the whole setup too - dropping a sub!

[@adamzhang4703]

Great space! I wonder with the monitor arms, do you have any issue on monitor slightly wobbles if you type too fast/hard?

[@joenicklo]

No wobble, they’re pretty sturdy arms.

[@SenseiFilms]

Well made video! Really enjoyed the space that you created for yourself. Subscribed!

[@joenicklo]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Raied114]

Nice setup! I like the ambiance, the colors, and the personalization of it all! One tip: You need to run your GPUs in SLI in order to enjoy the most out of your graphic cards. By them physically not connected to each other, they don't share memory, or talk, if you will, to each other, so they are running as two separate modules. You need to physically connect both cards, either with NVLink or SLI, but NVLink should be a faster protocol, if the cards, support it.

[@joenicklo]

Thanks! Negative on the SLI sir. Davinci resolve utilizes both cards independently and does not react well to SLI being enabled.

[@Raied114]
