it's monday august 3rd and the day has
finally come i'm super excited because
today,
i'm going to set up my new office slash
youtube recording studio
and i'm going to show you the whole
process! so let's go.
so i'm in the room right now, my
roommate that used to live here for the
past
year just moved out two days ago and i
actually recorded something here you can
see my light boxes and my camera is
actually here
and a background. i recorded the end
of the myrtle beach vlog
in here just because i wanted to see how
it works with the light
and there was a lot of echo in that
little part of the video because the
room is entirely empty right now so of
course it's not going to stay like that.
but i have a bunch of furniture
that i bought
used off like facebook marketplace but i
also bought a bunch of stuff new
that's all sitting in boxes downstairs
so i'm about to clean up the room first
and then start setting things up and
then there's gonna be a lot of stuff
that i'll have to figure out as i go
because i have ideas for the room but
i'm not sure if they're gonna work out.
also I have ideas for my new video
background or backgrounds
because i think i'm gonna have several
different options,
so yeah let's start with cleaning up
let's go.
fun fact vacuum cleaner
in german is still Staubsauger which literally translates to
"dust sucker" just wanted to mention that.
kitty loved this whole process and she
seemed pretty excited about exploring a
whole new
room
oh my god guys this is like the
classical thing that just happened
i am in the process of putting together
this shelf
and i think it's going to be great and i
did try to concentrate and pay attention
but this is like
asymmetrical so you really have to make
sure that every piece is in the right
place and i
thought i did that but turns out i put
together these things
with these three long things and
all these little middle shelves
and it's supposed to be in the order
three two four and i put it
four three two
so now things don't line up
and now i have to rearrange the whole
thing so
yay me great good job good job Feli
and of course once the shelf was finally
done kitty claimed it as her own
she was also really intrigued by the
camera and
she's a pretty clumsy cat
hi new day and
it's still pretty messy in here there's
still a lot of work that needs to be
done. i actually just put some
zip ties on this chair because i ordered
it from Walmart. These are usually really
expensive and i got it for like
i think 120 dollars from Walmart,
Walmart and um i read in the
reviews that a few people had issues
with
this base thing because this is all made
out of some
kind of metal and the base and the top
line up and then there's like pieces
that are supposed to line up or you put
the screws through
and out of four of those pieces where
the screws are supposed to go through
only two of them actually lined up the
other two were in
wrong places so i just fixed that with
zip ties to make it even more stable it
was actually pretty stable before that i
think it's also because i'm not super
heavy
um but yeah just to be sure
i did that where is it here
as it does yeah but this chair
is so comfortable i think my little
package is really enjoying it
um yeah so now putting together
more shelves, wooo!
final update so it's a few weeks later
and i'm still not fully done but there
definitely have been a few changes so
here is a little before
and after comparison
so i set up some decorations some plants
as you can see and then
this wall isn't fully done yet or like
that wall isn't done yet at all
i'm also still waiting on a rug i'm
still waiting on another backdrop or
tapestry
to hang on this wall because i just
don't really like how you can see this
door and also like this wall doesn't
look very nice
um but yeah it hasn't arrived yet i'm
just like
um going for an off-white tapestry
so let's do a quick room tour so we got
the
one background here and i'm actually
hiding my light boxes behind this which
i think is really handy
um then we got the shelf and some plants
with some plant hangers, by the way all the furniture that
i've bought new which like the shelf i
got new
tapestry i got new a few weeks ago or
like a couple of months ago,
these hangers i got new, all of that
i'll be linking in the info box below in
case you're interested in buying those
things too
um that's definitely not the reason why
i'm making this video but just like
since i'm talking about these things
i'm just letting you know what they are
exactly and where you can get them if
you want to
then we have my keyboard here that
i've had before
some decoration that i got off facebook
marketplace so i don't know where
that was from originally then we got the
cat tree
um but the cat really prefers laying on
the desk actually so i don't even know
why i have that here. then the desk is new and i love this
desk by the way. the lamp i got off facebook
marketplace.
this chair i've had for i want to say
like two years, i've basically spent
my entire
um grad school experience on this chair
whenever i was at home
i can really really recommend it um it's
a really really comfortable desk chair
i got it on amazon so if it's still
available i'll also link that
in the info box below. then of course we
got my laptop
i always have an external hard drive for
all of my video files
another lamp another piece of
decoration that came together with
the plant thing over there and then this
chair
as i said um i got on Walmart like
walmart.com i had to order it
i'll also link that in the info box
below i got this nice little pillow new
um yeah this chair is really just for me
to
you know relax whenever i don't want to
sit here to
go through all the comments on my phone,
facebook page, instagram page, dms etc
i also have i got this little thing and
a printer which is great because i never
had a printer before
and then this little shelf for storage
there's a bunch of tools there right now
because that's all the stuff that i used
just a tv because i had an extra one um
and i have an extra closet which is
really nice
that over there is kind of like the
attic i don't really need that so that's
why i'm gonna hang
something in front of it but so this
whole area
is going to be for recording so this is
going to be
one of my background options and you
definitely know
this tapestry i also have a few other
options that i'll show you in a second
um i tried to like make this
interchangeable with these hooks which
was
really tricky because yeah the walls and
the ceiling
aren't very stable so i had to buy some
drywall spackle
to get these hooks in there
but yeah they're interchangeable so i
have this um
colored one that i've used once in my
ice cream video
then i have a brand new blue one um
looks like this kind of
and i have the green one that i've also
used before it's this color but i'm
thinking of getting a few more or like
maybe at least one
other backdrop color so what do you
guys think
what would be a good color, let me know
in the comments below
and um yeah this is gonna be my first
background option but then the shelf
is gonna be my second background option
so this is the shelf that took me a lot
of work to set it up but it's finally
there and i think it looks really really
cute
and as you can see there isn't really
a whole bunch of stuff
in there yet and the reason for that is
that this is
supposed to be my youtube shelf so i
really want this to be only
for youtube things um and i had the idea
that
you guys could be part of the decoration
process with me so like
you guys could be part of my videos in a
way because i actually have a PO box now
so if you have a cool idea for like some
kind of decoration
certain things that would look cool in
the shelf and be
part of my video backgrounds you can
send me those
to my brand new PO box, it's this PO box
i was thinking that it could be things
that have some like
connection to germany some connection to
the us obviously maybe something about
german american friendship
um please don't send me just like any
kind of stuff you have laying around at
home because
i'm probably not going to use that
either um and also like there is no
guarantee that i'm going to use your
things but if they're cool i might and
i'm also probably going to like switch
them around because you won't
see the whole shelf in my videos you'll
always only see
um a part of the shelf so i'm probably
gonna like switch them around
and yeah i thought this could be a
really cool idea for you guys to be a
part of my channel a little bit more,
i also got a brand new lens that i'm
super excited about because this is the
lens that most
youtubers or a lot of youtubers use, it's
the
sigma 18 to 35 millimeters with a 1.8
f-stop and i'll just show you what it'll
look like with this brand new lens
and the shelf so this is what it'll look
like and if you'd like to be an
even more active part of this channel
and would like to send me some fitting
decoration
for my youtube shelf feel free to send
me a gift
to this p.o box and then maybe your gift
will be part of one of my videos in the
future
and of course i'd like to know what you
guys think of this idea and
my new workspace in general so please
