I think we could have spent an entire month in Adam’s shop and still only scratched the surface. What an endless wealth of knowledge and entertainment. Just incredible.

[DLDrillNB]

Been an avid viewer on Tested for years. I love how Adam automatically becomes the host of anything he's ever on, and that he *literally* cannot go 5 seconds without talking about some trinket he's absolutely in love with.

Never, ever change Adam (or do, that's probably more your philosophy!)

[BizzleByron]

This is testament to the quality of content over the quality of gear used, nice work Adam.

[WrathOfTheHydra]

I love that Gerald is there for the technical details of how things are shot, but Adam's brain is in space thinking about the philosophy of audience-creator connections. So when Gerald asks one small question about a camera setup, Adam plunges into the entire history of a shot decision, and Gerald is left standing there with the 'I don't know what to do with my hands or focus' look.

This was a lot of fun watching two completely different personalities interact. Fantastic coverage of a studio as always!

[dannyboylan]

I love Adam so damn much, and as a regular Tested viewer, I can assure you we are constantly falling over haha. Once I start hearing the noise, I know we're tipping over. But it's part of the experience haha. Adam comes and picks us back up, says sorry guys, and gets back to work lol.

[Metalhiram]

This video has no reason to be so short! Couldn't get enough of you two, like the father you've always wanted 😂

[ryan_j_peck]

Its rare that a decrease in quality (video in this case) leads to an increased appeal. For me it felt so much more relatable, and home grown when the switch to the cell phone camera happened. I still love the high quality production with the expensive cameras, but the cell phone videos feel so much more intimate and off the cuff in the sense that it feels like Adam just setup and got shooting just for us as opposed to the whole production. Either way, Tested is quality and I'm here to support them!

Also, I love the camera shake, the camera falls, the squeak of the lock line. All just adds to the authenticity.

[Goodzikc]

Honestly I love the sound of when Adam moves the lock line in his videos, for me its similar to the mic things where it just adds to the authenticity of it, where it makes it feel more like Adams just going about his working day, and your just another tool of his desk watching it all, and getting to share in the journey

[lukasgiese]

The whiteout pen font moment is beautiful. Such a clear: Oh we are on the same wavelength moment.

[LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

I was unaware that marrette was a Canadianism. You learn something new every day.

[funknick]

I love that Adam is the personification of "get it done and tell a story" as opposed to the filming gear heads that frequent this channel. There is nothing wrong with being deep into any of these topics, if we all did things the same, there would be no variety. It's really cool how the mutual respect here allows everyone to just vibe and share their respective focus for film making, crafting, and story telling. It takes all kinds, and I love this mashup.

[WilliamFaucher]

Oh my goodness this has to be one of Gerald's best studio tours to date, damn

[DantheLion]

I need a part2 2 or a podcast thingy where Gerald and Adam just ramble around random things. its so entertaining

[melihkaleciklioglu]

Mythbusters was like a class-trip where you see all the huge booms and everything, tested is for the one kid in class that wants to live and know everything about every little gadget that is in the shop.
I failed science class miserably, but there is something about listening to Adam and his absurdly knowledgeable and infectious excitement about the things he does. Imagine doing the thing you love the most and breathing it without any hesitation and being able to convey that to so many people, Adam is THE DUDE.

[justaddjeff]

Marrette is Canadian as we tend to use brand names for what we call something. Skill saw for circular saw, Kleenex for tissue, Sorels for winter boots. Marrettes are wire nuts.

[PineFilms]

The crossover I didn't know I needed! Thank you Gerald!

[felixm.]

Watching Gerald ask a question and get a WEALTH of a story and philosophy is SO cool!
I feel like he just tried to absorb every idea Adam pitched about storytelling and the minimum amount necessary to get to the endgoal (i.e. making a thing, telling a story about a thing and so on).

[chrisbrockhurst]

Adam is so knowledgeable, I could listen to him talk all day.

[berkertaskiran]

I feel like this needed another 22 mins. Need to see more movie props and figurines!

[szubal]

I love when worlds of mine collide. Adam preaching of F.O.R, first order of retrival, helped me reorganize my creative space. Watching Gerald process things Adams say, especially when it is far outside what he would do, was fascinating.
