Roasting Linus' $100 Million YouTube Studio

[@LinusTechTips]

Thanks for coming by! Was an absolute pleasure hosting y'all!! - LS

[@imaner76]

A great collaboration. You guys fit well.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

It got a little too Canadian at 21:58, but overall great video!

[@akyhne]

What happened to the Blackmagic cameras?

[@esaedvik]

Ask Alex about his double-sided tape for the rug! He mentioned it in a PC World interview :D

[@zivzulander]

​@@esaedvikyeah I added that to my cart as soon as he said it, Xfasten double sided carpet tape.

[@DIYPerks]

This is a really interesting tour! So cool seeing all the different sets from a different perspective. It's incredible that they've built up to such a well-oiled video production machine. Good stuff. 24:50 I love how Linus switched to taking to the camera haha good chemistry. Keep these tours coming Gerald!

We need a tour of @Diyperks !!!

[@geraldundone]

Thanks so much! Huge fan of your content, by the way! 🤓🙏

[@buckaroobrogan]

Really impressed with how knowledgeable Linus is with his non-pc equipment despite it being deligated to several others for the past few years and having to also act as CEO the whole time.

[@neuro3423]

#Lienus It's all fake man, they feeding him answers to make him look good. Here's the proof: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poq0paipmZ2Xm7c

[@WyattWinters]

I think him being the CEO is precisely why he knows so much. Now that he has stepped down to CVO he will likely be less involved with the minute details of every department

[@veryboringname.]

@@WyattWinters I think CEOs typically don't pay attention to such details like what brand of lights are on the ceiling or c-stand right hand rules. They just pay their staff to think about those details so they can focus on running the company.

[@psedog]

@@veryboringname. I've seen both types of CEO's. It all depends on the person and the goal of thier drive.

[@veryboringname.]

@@psedog Yup, it's about the type of person Linus is, not just him being the CEO, that makes him knowledgeable about various things.

[@AdamFunk]

He's goofy as hell (which I love dearly), but it's also evident at all times just how damn sharp Linus is. There are certainly a lot of content creators that have leaned their craft and work within that paradigm, but he's is a dude who can solve problems in a hundred different capacities. It's always cool to see different sides of that.

[@davidbroughton5237]

Yea, dude runs a tight ship while still being fun

[@ssl3546]

Problem is he has still yet to hire anyone at his level. On the WAN show he was complaining that there's nobody on his team who can fact-check scripts/videos as good as him. He still treats the organization as a way to empower him rather than a machine that runs itself. (See also - him personally approving the specific model of lamp they buy for the set.)

[@justinmcgough3958]

@@ssl3546 I believe as of recently he's made a point to stop acting in that role. Like a couple months back he hired a new member to act as CEO to take over management, though he still retains full ownership of the company.

[@olotocolo]

@@ssl3546 Yeah he was saying that he has this side to himself, and wants to stop, wants to give out control. That is one of several reasons he stepped down as CEO.

[@dragonfire3289]

I think it's also dependent on which channel you look at. It seems like Mac Address, TechLinked, Superfun are more or less run by their "owners" while linus is more involved in the main channel and maybe the younger channels like GameLinked.

[@impatrickt]

we failed to mention how good the studio smelled upon arrival... it was a blend of mahogany and pot roast.

[@SamBorgman]

lol So it was really just good BBQ smell, the wood smoked kind. Probably the smell of what they eat everyday.

[@TheTechnoPilot]

@@SamBorgman It's the Canadian way!

[@mr.guillotine3766]

With slight undertones of maple?

[@havarti74]

Like roasted pot :)

[@chiciu]

Swear to God I read monogamy at first

[@Benefits]

You kinda shocked me when you legitimately didn't understand why a media production company has props and costumes on hand near their sets.

[@the_undead]

To be fair to him, He's more of a practical numbers and spreadsheets and s*** kind of person, not a media production company, and he doesn't have to play through the algorithm anywhere near as much as Linus does

[@Benefits]

@@the_undead Not sure what any of that has to do with my comment. Guy goes into a prop house with multiple production stages and is surprised when he finds costumes and props. Common sense seems like such a rare thing on KZbin.

[@lw8882]

@@Benefits It's totally relevant because it shows the difference in approach to production. One is a very dry here's my shot here's my audio, present the video and post. The other is considering every tiny optimisation and improvement and has years more experience and so many tips and tricks to get better results. Also it's a totally different audience and personality, with a way goofier comedic style.

[@bhavikn28]

Love how the battery died right when Linus was talking about SD Cards. How ironic

[@tristinyaeger9222]

At first I thought it was a gag, the fact that it actually is hilarious.

[@jackparkervisuals]

Petition to see more Gerald x Linus collab content. Such great chemistry, so much nerdy content!

[@theslimbin]

Linus has grate chemistry with everyone

[@FPVwineUK]

The fact that they both let each other speak, as in front of camera personalities, is something to both admire and highly respect.

[@JarrodsTech]

I had a tour of LMG with a bunch of content creators yesterday after LTX. It was awesome! We didn't have anyone like Andy for the nerdy camera stuff, so this video was perfect for answering everything else I wanted to know 😄 including random stuff like 21:47, we were wondering why there was a random wig there, but no one knew. Mystery solved, thanks Gerald.

[@ajdecaprio]

What a fun video, two of my favorite creators making the worse dad jokes imaginable while rambling about production junk! Such a good time, love this series!

[@WyvernApalis]

Great to see Gerald going out there and visiting smaller creators on the platform!

[@baganatube]

Judging by how knowledgeable that guy is, this team is getting big in no time.

[@EironKyle]

Hope to see more of that guy in the future

[@SamBorgman]

In this economy they won’t make it another week

[@DarkExternalHeart]

Nah, he got the enthusiasm but not the skills. We'll never see him after this video.

[@zacharywebb7197]

Literally smaller creators 😂

[@andor001]

Linus was speaking absolute facts about adding value to his channel with props.. it's the extra 5% that I find so great in content in general

[@Wistbacka]

I know LMG is enormous, but man, was I not ready for how big and advanced and amazingly well throughout this all is. Also blows your mind when you think about the "movie magic"; like in the videos it all looks like really well cleaned living rooms, but it is just a small set surrounded by a jungle of cables and equipment and lights. Wow! 🤯

[@michaelikonya2048]

Linus buying insisting on buying a jib but not using it is the most film maker thing to do

[@Brockfiree]

That video was amazing. Perfect chemistry and no script, natural darn good stuff. As an LTT daily viewer, I'm impressed how Linus spontaneously starts talking about the network hub, without any script he felt so precise and on point with the current production. Gerald did a beautiful job pushing on something that the counterpart was not supposed to know and, even if he lost, I have really enjoyed the struggle and the time spent for it. Good job guys!

[@cataleast]

The irony of the camera crapping out during a rant about batteries and SD cards is palpable :)

[@nemiesis]

10:30 how do you not get that? Props make perfect sense and Linus' explanation is spot on.

[@Iisakki3000]

Once in a while you get a video that's so enjoyable that you'd like for it to be like 3-4 times longer even though it already is pretty long. More of the same please!

[@kamel3d]

10:32 Linus was right about the props

[@nfnworldpeace1992]

i can recall multiple tech upgrades where the hats as props added so much!

[@Stasiek_Zabojca]

Wow, those almost 30 minutes passed so fast! That was a pleasure to watch 😀 And I agree... We need some more collab between Gerald and LTT!

[@CheeseTurbulence]

I can never get enough of these 😅 Hilarious and spectacular at the same time, it's insane what Linus and the team at LTT have built over the years.

[@Edward_Avila]

I'm obsessed with these big name content creators suddenly crapping themselves when gerald comes into the studio to judge their setups loool I feel like I'm seeing a side to them you don't often see

[@xyse247]

Not easy when a 10ft giant starts questioning you on gear choices.

[@nadamuchu]

perfectly encapsulated at that part around 22:45 that ended with "Linus, I don't care what these rooms were gonna be. Let me ask you some questions that matter, okay?"

[@MrML4L]

Linus was not crapping himself lol

[@Enzo187]

lol what are you talking about linus was as chill as ever.

[@Fertho]

@@Enzo187 Yeah, agreed. OP of this comment thread probably didn't even watch the video.

[@CharlesAbell]

The hats and stuff are really what sets Linus apart. The production value from his channel is next level.

[@Bleaksigilkeep]

Yeah, I'm not really a computer guy at all but I regularly watch ltt because the content is entertaining

[@eldibs]

"I don't know, Sigma probably." "DAMMIT!" I rate 10/10, good job all around.

[@JonathanPalfrey]

Another awesome tour! The FTP set up with the FX30s is really interesting. There’s not a single video on KZbin talking about that. As Linus said, for that sort of set up it makes far more sense than transferring SD cards. Something I’ll have to test out.

[@BensTechLab]

I know, right. Does the FX30 record to network? Or were those some kind of external monitor-recorders doing that?

[@TheTechnoPilot]

@@BensTechLab Those were BlackMagic 7" 12G recorders. I didn't know they have network recording capability though!

[@BuiltInception]

Same thought, very unique but solid setup!! Why doesnt more people talk about this

[@arthurkallinen]

FX6's have capability to send incamera recorded footage to thru FTP. I think FX3 & FX30's could have it as well. Need to check it. They can be set to auto upload the footage thru wifi(/eth? with a usb-c eth dongle?). I haven't yet got it to work with my fx6 but will continue testing some day (not that important to me and my productions)

[@LouAllenWheeler]

@@arthurkallinen ah, so this is a Sony-specific thing? Hmm. We're looking at upgrading our corporate studio and I want to eliminate SD cards so bad, so I'm now on the hunt for this with BMD gear.

[@SO_Snake]

I love how Linus just stands there NPC confused half the time when he doesn't talk or after he said something right

[@danielwylie-eggert2041]

Honestly shocked at how down to earth Linus is. Really funny stuff. Can't believe the media corrupted while he was talking about media corruption.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great tour! One of my favorite moments was where Linus said he doesn't know how to control the lights (8:37) and swish pan to you clicking the pen to write down another note against the studio. The click of the pen was a great touch.

[@CoryRCullen]

This is the best video I've seen in a long time on KZbin. 2 of my absolute favorite KZbinrs going through the film tech I use on a daily basis as a camera operator and DIT. Gonna definitely steal some of these setup ideas for shoots in the future. Thank you for this!

[@iHearTango]

Wow. I wouldn’t have guessed that. Linus is very sharp and on top of his things including hosting his guest with a very modest attitude. Well done. Makes Undone look undone.

[@the_undead]

For Linus to have stuck around as long as he has, there is no way he doesn't know a great deal about how to be a good video host, I'm one of the primary rules of being a good video host is you have to prop up the guests, so even if Linus is technically the guest, a lot of this is just second nature to him at this point. Or at least I hope it is for how long he's been around

[@chepilevski]

Thank you guys ❤️ It was enjoyable from every point of view 😁

[@muneeb-khan]

I never realized how incredibly dense the LTT studio was. It's so function and output driven in every way.

[@evan]

The AI generated background for Gamelinked is so cool

[@vs3914]

i like the fact that fact that all the clips taken on the first day without linus are in b/w something inspired by Oppenheimer maybe?

[@MICROKNIGHT3000]

Oppenheimer, US is the only country to drop a nuke at a civilian city and now they make a movie about how they discover it and still went with the idea. Not a military installation, a city. What im trying to say? The irony. I did not know they were the only country to nuke another country. Such evil.

[@rjohnston]

The LTT and MKBHD studio tours have been ridiculously good. Love to see creators be candid and get to nerd out on gear with a fellow gear head

[@connerbailey8601]

3 legged tables are actually more stable than 4 as long as the legs are fixed in place

[@KaganTech]

"If I didn't have to pay for it I wouldn't hate it.." Then Geralds brain started to glitch 😂

[@mdominic]

When the camera shuts off while filming and the file is unfinished just press record when the camera is back up and it should write the end code for the file.

[@Jeffrey_Tyler]

Linus _is_ right about the hats and the hat wall and the whole concept behind it. Making the videos more entertaining and establishing a brand of personality is what got him to where he is; he didn't just accidentally get there. Same concept as in MKBHD's tour when he was talking about how getting a specific zoom shot is what makes him stand out in a crowded YT space, but that's not it at all, people watch for the personality. That's why we watch podcasts and second channels and third channels and guest star videos and so on. That's why they are called 'influencers'.

[@kencult]

Gerald on an absolute banger of a tour right now

[@wannadjshorts9443]

Seeing the WAN Show set from a different perspective is so interesting. I didn't imagine it would be that "small".

[@ScottJWaldron]

17:00 literally perfect timing for the mishap, lol. 🤣😅 Great tour!

[@joejamesphoto]

This is a collab I didn’t know needed to happen! Its so cool to see Linus legitimately nerding out without any scripting etc.

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

Awesome Video. It really drives home the value of having a set where you don't have to constantly move cameras and switch SD cards around... Building something like the Short Circuit set would be awesome, really inspiring!

[@tekvax01]

We use the Sennheiser MKE gold lavaliers exclusively for broadcast TV. We purchase them with wild unterminated wires and then re-terminate with the TA4F XLRs for the lectrosonics or the lemo connectors for the Sennheiser transmitters.

[@mittensfastpaw]

This is one of the largest reasons I like watching LTT. Linus despite it all is still a down to Earth guy with a down to Earth team. You see it in stuff like this. Where someone comes in to talk about their setup and he isn't cutting it to the extreme just to look good. Even other people saying something different than him is put in. They can talk without being reprimanded. It builds up that trust and I appreciate it. Thanks you guys!

[@Garrettdx1988]

[@joshuaconti989]

how Patrick was able to remain quiet behind the camera is beyond me =)

[@PS1212]

"$100 Million KZbin Studio" 😂

[@CharlesFBI]

Gerald just casually mentioned in 2 seconds what I hadn't known about T stops until today (haven't had the need to). "T stop means they're actually measured for light transmission and not the size of the hole." If only all tutorials were as understandable to the point as that.

[@TheCoolJules]

This was so fun to watch. I've spent the last few months watching every one of Gerald's KZbin videos going back four years (getting way too deep into content creation). Then I've watched Linus faithfully for years. The perfect KZbin algorithm.

[@enregistreur]

[@coldcc9966]

"nothing stops the WAN show" that didn't age well

[@stanislav_5312]

Linus statement about hats is legit. It is actually cool.

[@peacemakermotion3949]

This was excellent! I knew Linus had a good setup with some mean gear but that far surpassed what i had in mind. Impressive seeing how far he's come.

[@Xenothios]

The sweetest part, I think, was when Linus was being teased about "Flexing" that he bought a whole building as a soundproofing solution. His face immediately went to a place of vulnerability trying to defend that he was just trying to make the best decision he could with the options at hand, rather than having ever focused on the money in a vainglorious way. I feel like he might be sensitive to the idea that he might be perceived as an out of touch millionaire, when at heart he's just a nerd that loves talking about tech, and has found financial success in doing it. I'm really happy seeing his humility shine through, I'm glad I've followed his channel for years.

[@the_undead]

The part that I like most about Linus is no matter how many times he makes mistakes, no matter how many times he says something he really shouldn't have on camera and it causes a community outrage, he always steps back listens to what the community is saying and implements those changes, Linus has probably had more community outrages in the last 2 years than most KZbin channels could ever survive. Because as much as he does have an ego, he does his best to fight it, Yvonne and Luke also help him fight it in any way they can

[@bobcoco6047]

Obvious Masterpiece of a BTS, this type of collab is awesome, & I love how Linus manages to excell beyond his supposed field, so funny & impressive at the same time. The KZbin Studio's Ever Roasting Gerald is never gonna get Undone , this rocks.

[@Thisandthat8908]

C'mon that perfect timing with the SD card rant can't be coincidence! Also who should know everythign about the cameras if not the chief vision officer?

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Brilliant tour fella, Love this series!

[@Brian-kq2hj]

Found myself watching this for at least the 4th time and I realised the easiest way to show Gerald does understand Linus subconsciously at 10:22 is by pointing out the pen and clipboard comments. So many people have taken the the time to comment that their favourite parts have been pen clicks and flourishes at different points in the video and the pen and clipboard are literally just props in the same way the hats are. They add so much value for so little cost.
