How to Make a TNT

Thank you. So much.

Thank you so much for this Vinny and Drew! I always wanted to know what it looked like behind the scenes.

All those wires! Awesome feature :)

no two men should have all this power

I learned so much!

Every time something goes wrong during a live stream from now on I will imagine Vinny in that room making that face as he tries to figure it all out. It all looks really straight forward once you know and can memorize what everything is meant for, but just thinking about the nightmare of cables and testing that would have had to been done to set it up from nothing gives me chills.

Any who, props for all the work you guys do. Never really realized how much work goes into something like a QL let alone a live stream.

awesome behind the scenes look. would love to see more of these vids.

A E3 edition would be cool!

I knew you guys were tinkering with some encoding settings recently. You went from your file names ending in "_3500" to them now ending with "_4000" (to denote kbps of video bitrate quality). I tried to talk to Jeff and Vinny and Drew about it, but no one answered.

Cancelling sub.

Have fun with this one

Was this ever actually live in the end? Did it eventually get streamed?

That was awesome!

Thnks.. :D

This was really cool to see. Thanks Drew and Vinny.

yaaaaaaay!

yeah this was cool as hell

i fuckin love wires, knobs, and blinking leds so please more content like this

Thanks for doing this guys! I'm in IT student and I don't have any experience with video or audio equipment, but you made a lot of things that would seem really obscure that I'd never deal with normally, make sense. More stuff from the technical side when you get a chance is fantastic!

man this is awesome

the big knob is actually a Big Knob

Wow. I just watched all of this

THIS!

This is the awesome! =)

Thanks for doing this!! Very cool to see.

Thanks Vinny and Drew! That was awesome to watch. I always wandered how much technical wizardry is required to make "stuff work". I'd certainly watch more videos like this.

That was sixty minutes of awesome. Vinny and Drew, you are a pair of steely-eyed missile men!

Well, I sure underestimated their get up.

This is some of the best work they have put out so far. As a fan of production work and an video editor myself, I love this. Thanks alot for this.

I love the behind the scenes stuff. Maybe we can get some behind the scenes on the bomb cast or the quick looks? Great to see Jeff goofing off in the background too!

Awesome video! More please! :D

This should be a really good resource to point people to when they bitch about it taking a little long to get set up in the new office. They didn't come in to CBSi with any of this shit.

Interesting, informative and fun to watch! Thanks Drew & Vinny.

TNT seems like the worlds greatest fire hazard

Whoo! This is really interesting to watch, thanks for putting it up guys!

When it comes to the volume of the live stream, I've noticed that if I mute and unmute it, the sound is louder after I unmute than before.

This was fun to watch. I'd love to see more content like this.

I thought I had some idea how Vinny and Drew did TNT, I was WRONG I had NO idea.

I bow to you in thanks.

Very informative! Interesting to see the sheer amount of equipment being used, and what it takes to get everything up and running for the sites content.

Easy to say, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun (or horrible when everything goes wrong), but still, love it, guys!

I love when a behind the scenes video goes up. You know it's great content when you watch the whole thing despite having no need to know how they do what they do. Vinny & Drew are just that good.

Wow, fascinating stuff. Thanks a bunch, guys. Highly educational. Would love to see more features like this.

@Duffyside: so truth. so truth.

VINNY INCL? A+ WILL ENJOY

This was super interesting. Lot more stuff to do than you'd think, which makes you appreciate their work even more. But I guess it sort of becomes second nature to them, after doing the same things over and over.

Man, that audio board gets me hot under the collar.

I want a video of Vinny shenanigans and how he does them. That and/or a Sherlock Holmes style episode where Vinny tries to figure out how to fix a problem on set or with the video recording. "My dear Vinny I believe we're not picking up any audio on set!" "Drew if you follow the cable to the audio pickup what do you see?" "...It's unplugged! Genius!".

this was a great video and super interesting for us gear heads! keep it up!

Man I am scared that the TVs on the set will get hit off their stand and break. It's like seeing glass on the edge of the table, begging to be accidentally hit off.

I haven't watched this yet, but I'm already so happy to see this. I've been asking for a video like this since the first BLLSL.

Awesome. I've been hoping for some behind the scenes stuff for the video production side of the site. Thanks.

When it took a while for this archive to show up, I was hoping it was because they were fixing the audio. Really happy that was the case.

I hope the guys do follow up with more of these, it's really fascinating.

That was VERY cool!

Neat.
