How to Build a BEAST: Episode 02

Looks great, Vinny must be in hog heaven with that kind of budget and so many shiny new toys! Jealous!

Edit: Oh and yeah, the download is only the usual 720p60, be interested to compare the quality of a 1080 version though.

awesome video

This video is making me sooooo happy!

What other site would show people the in and outs of the "making" of the site. GiantBomb is made for the people by the people and with the people in heart and mind. Best site in the fucking world. Love the check in Vinny.

vinny this is amazing AMAZING WORK!

Wooo!

This is super great! The progress is looking really awesome! Must've been hard for you. Looking forward to a proper live show from you guys!

Part of me wants to research the cost of everything he showed in that studio, but I think its more fun to just assume it was REALLY expensive

I look forward to the content that we will be seeing from GBeast High Command.

Need to get an Uppleva to solve your cable problem.

Awesome to see how you are getting set up. Can't wait for future productions.

Yeah yeah yeah nice. It's never the same without Vinny!

Vinny Caravella and Alex Navarro getting things done and taking us to the future!

oh god that framerate is glorious.

That's all well and good, but is there a Big Knob?

Another FANTASTIC video, @vinny! You are a genius and a madman.

At 20 mins in I was on the floor in stitches. That made him sound like Christopher Walken!

I can't wait for voice effect fun times!

Then again, Vinny used to be transition and graphic effect crazy before and really toned it down in the last few years.

:(

That music.. it's like I'm watching an XboX montage trailer or something.

Me thinks Vinny needs to get a laptop with a touch screen or a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 since it's got the the stylus/pen etc.

I think I hear an alien imitating Katharine Hepburn.

Is that a 60-fps camera? I don't have much acquaintance with that kind of frame rate, so I was a little surprised.

What happens if you inhale helium and pitch down your voice with the mixer? Research needs to be done!

With all of his silly antics it's sometimes easy to forget just how much of a goddamn professional Vinny Caravella is.

I'll second the request for no auto-ducking of gameplay audio, it usually just distracts me when people use it.

I would also totally be behind another more complex behind the scenes look like you mentioned where you got more into the tecnical aspects of the video and audio stuff you are dealing with.

@dizzyhippos: Mixer combo is about 3000€, signal converter 600€, audio snakes are free if you capture the from the wild and tame them. Those are small part of it, so it is no "do it in your home budget".

Vinny is Daft Punk. I'm going to need to up my internet cap for this 60fps stuff...

These things are so beautifully produced. Excellent work.

These things are so beautifully produced. Excellent work.

I don't know a god damn thing about video/audio stuff but I'll watch anything with Vinny in it.

Vinny should always pitch Alex's voice way up and never tell him.

@vinny thanks for the behind the scenes videos. Love'em

You and alex are doing great work over on the east coast

Am I losing my mind, or is it only 60 when you're not watching fullscreen? Because I was watching it fullscreen and it looked sub-30, then I turned off fullscreen and it was suddenly super smooth. (as an aside there's no youtube option for 1080, and I generally use the youtube video)

WOW, Vinny, you're sooooo smoooth. 60fps looks fucking awesome! ;)

man I would totally flip some switches for you guys in exchange for a sandwich.

Was the handheld a Sony nex? What was the lens? It looked great!

I love these making-of style videos, and would LOVE to see that more in-depth one you mentioned regarding cabling etc.

Why do dumb vocal effects even exist on high-end equipment? Who's using them? I've had the same effects through pretty much any PC audio hardware I've ever used, from Realtek audio codec through the more high-end consumer Xonar D2X.

Gotta love Vinny

Love Love Love the technical vids... awesome!

Dat cable management :D

Is it just me or has Vinny's voice/accent changed?

@vinny I vote in-depth videos! Really interesting to see the setup!

Vinny, you are a national treasure my friend.

@MikeyM: I think it's just you!

His voice around 22:30 blew my mind. That voice suits him well.

1080P? More like 1080V!

Keep on doing the East Coast proud, Caravella!

Wow with Vinny on the east coast with all this fancy equipment, will these guys have higher production values on their content than west coast? Or will those guys step have to step it up??? Either way, I'm excited for the future of giantbomb

Thumbs up, Vinny. Thumbs wayyyy up!

The continuing rise of the Giant Beast. These behind the scenes technical videos are SO COOL. Thanks a bunch, Vinny!
