It’s Time to Downsize - New Studio Tour (APRIL FOOLS 2024)

It’s been a TOUGH year, for you and for us. Controversy after controversy has led to one sad truth: we’re broke. It’s time to say goodbye to the Production Studio and hello to our old friend, the Langley House. But too many staff can lead to many problems: space, power and preventing our employees from escaping are all hills we climb in this studio tour.

Huge shoutout to LANFest & ViewSonic for letting us borrow their monitors!

[jerrys.]

I -NEED- a behind the scenes because this this must've been a logistic NIGHTMARE to set up and shoot

[gazengland]

Wait a second, it’s not April 1st yet

[austinevans]

The amount of work (and hours) that went into this are next level lmao

[InoXtiC]

Take a moment and breath in.. The amount of time they have to do this scene.. the space, the act, the choreograph, the sane amount of PC / Laptop being used in 1 small house.. The amount of effort.. holy shit.. all for a this April Fool joke.. is just insane.

[lesfrisbees]

It's actually insane how much work went into this.

[billnye]

This green-screen guy hiding in the bottom left corner of Thursday's TechLinked make so much sense now...

[deanmarktaylor]

The budget for this video must have been massive!
In reality this might have been one of the highest budget videos done in quite a while - the staffing per-hour cost of this one must have been off the charts.

[vinciere]

Dan nailed that "absolutely dead" mood when talking about the server rack.

[siderbrighthelm]

I love how serious they take this but the people not used to being on camera cracking up is the best

[carlosvaldes]

It’s scary how well Linus can pull the Silicon Valley startup boss persona. Props to everyone involved, I can’t imagine how production was behind the scenes. 😮

[thecracingchannel]

Elijah still wearing the helmet is incredible long term story telling.

[Rrek]

I love the lore aspect that this video was painstakingly edited by the people in the small space shown in this video.

[themike_]

the amount of effort to shoot this video is insane. i dont want to think about how much time it took to set up everyone in the old house and then move everything back to their regular location.

[HBlatz]

This is the highest effort April Fool's joke I've ever seen in my entire life.

[hellowill]

As a Kiwi (New Zealander), I am used to seeing April fools jokes a day late... but this is even early for us, by about 30 minutes.

[SgtMoo]

Mega props to logistics and everyone who was "voluntold" to be in this shoot. Best moving vlog so far!

[SpaceSaver]

The amount of work that went into this is incredible. Moving everyone from the studio to the Langley house for this shoot must've had huge opportunity cost. Amazing!

[andrewaaflaq]

the social team being on the shelves is hands down the best use of space I have ever seen

[mistakay]

one of the strongest examples of dedication to the bit. ever.

bravo LTT

[brandonb]

The big Linus pillow was my favorite, the guy all cuddled up next to it on the stairs.
