How to Make a TNT

Love this insight into how you guys make magic happen. Fascinating.

Vinny, this was an absolutely fascinating look behind the curtain, thanks to you and Drew for doing it! I'm considering starting up a YouTube video project (though certainly nothing close to the scope you showed here) and it's really fascinating to see how the bigger stuff is done. I can't believe how much gear and how complicated a setup you need just for TNT.

Absolutely fascinating. I was so compelled to watch the entire thing. So freaking awesome. Please do more like this!!!

This was great. Would love to see more.

Thanks vinny and drew. Good stuff as always

That was a really good primer into how stuff get made at the bomb house. It's crazy how much (really expensive) kit is needed to put on your productions. Fascinating to watch and I'd definitely tune into other videos dealing with more specific aspects of the process.

I can't help but wonder if the setup for PC gaming controls introduces any noticeable lag, and if this is something you guys have to compensate for when doing PC Quick Looks, Flight Club, etc.

Also, it would be interesting to see how your setup differs from Gamespot's and how much of that setup is crafted for the specific needs of the productions you run (ie, everything needing to be operate-able by only one person).

Dude, gotta do a "How to Make a Bombcast" video next. I bet I'm not the only one who wants to do podcasts, too.

Great video.

this is one of the coolest videos on the site, vinny and drew do work!

That looks incredibly fun by the way.

I can imagine. I've come into contact with video conferencing equipment a few times and I tend to just end up staring at hdmi splitters getting a headache trying to figure out where the signal is going and where it should be going. And then getting it working, not documenting what I did, and having to do the same exact thing 5 months later.

I love that video workstation by the way. I could have so much fun with that thing. Especially if you can just take any greenscreen footage, key it and load it up as a transition.

It's really cool to see the set up you guys have, when I was in broadcast school we were using not tricaster but something called broadcast pix. Man your version of tricaster looks way more capable, the broadcast pix would constantly crash and burn. Also when you do the next video could you go into detail about the kind of switcher you use. Great video guys, makes me want to do more live stuff.

I thought it was all powered by magic. Now I have a better idea of what all this equipment does.

This whole video game me a semester of ONE basic VIdeo Class.

Jesus, Wish I would of saw this first.

This shit looks complicated.

Loved this, a great behind the scenes "Quick Look".

This was a really great video to watch, thanks a lot for putting it together!

So to summarise: Magic.

We need more of this in the future.

EDIT: Nice addition with the picture in picture stuff of things we didn't see during the stream.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It was cool to see the equipment used to create these videos.

This was awesome, great job guys.

This was cool. Though I could have guessed having spent some time with mixing boards myself, it's interesting to have Vinny confirm that he has to adjust the gain for quiet guys like Drew and Dave and for "super-loud" people like Ryan!

This was fascinating.

I was wondering what was up with low video volume.

Study this, kids. It's about a year's worth of college in one hour.

Great idea!!!!!

Really loved this, hopeful that you guys will do some more stuff in this same vein. Curious though, does anyone know what headsets they're using? They look like studio monitor headphones, but couldn't get a good enough look at them to figure out brand/model.

Fantastic effort each week. wow!

RYAN DAVIS DON'T CARE

Thanks guys that was really interesting and I hope you make more videos about this stuff.

Interesting but its what they get paid for.

I'm overly happy that Vinny and I have the same watch.

interesting vid , thanks !

Very SMART! PRIME LENSES!

You meant a lower dof though, vinnie :)

Very smart!

No he didn't, he was talking about how everything looks much brighter with the lenses, depth of field has nothing to do with how bright stuff is.

Very SMART! PRIME LENSES!

Very smart!

I knew the chat was lying!

as a dude who does production stuff, I have always been curious as to what their setup is.

super thankful they're finally giving us the scoop

Damn that was great! Used to work in the broadcast industry many years ago it's fun to see how things have changed.

This is pretty rad. I would feel so guilty if I tripped over one of those cables during a live stream.

i would very much love to play with those sound toys

Very interesting stuff.

I would have too much fun with those transitions.

God, I wish I could work there.

I'd route cables for them all day err day.

Really enjoyed this; please do more!

Awee no did they somehow edit out the whole part with the music overpowering all the audio?

I was excited to watch this, then I remember none of the current players actually work for me. :(

This was really interesting. I would love to see more videos.
