About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.

One month into using this new setup and loving it, and my desk is still clutter free. Links to all the products I used here - kit.co/kentlamm/kent-s-desk-setup
UPDATE: Here's sequel to this video, I dropped another $1k upgrading the rest of my little office - ua-cam.com/video/9orB3onStkU/v-deo.html
One youtube video and you've qualified as my new spirit animal ... it's like you're in my head as I sit at my cramped Ikea desk looking for that step-up ring .. it's here somewhere, I swear to god.
Amazon victim confirmed.
genuinely appreciate the amount of work that would have gone into this video. I have been avoiding proper cable management for over two years. You may of inspired something. subbed
i dont think ive ever seen a more gorgous editing setup, i love it!!
Thanks! You should see it now, upgraded some things. Got the MacBook Pro and there’s only one thunderbolt cord running into it. Every time I see it I’m 🥲
@@StandardStoryCo what is the the thunderbolt setup you're using now? I need a hub for all my drives + card readers + monitors
I’ve been watching this guys videos a lot recently and idk what it is about him but he inspires the hell out of my creative side everyday. Just makes me want to work harder.
The organization here gave me comfort..
I can’t even imagine the amount of footage you had for this video. You did a great job of cutting to show your process. I was engrossed from start to finish. Subscribed.
I really like your desk! Your tips will help me with my desk transformation more than any other video!
Best desk setup I've watched in a long time. And I didn't even click on it. Just autoplayed while I was working, and watched it from start to finish.
best office set up ever. not only you showed the most important element- the set-up. the realistic set up.
you gotta love the self-deprecating comments from time to time
Wow! I wanted the power strip and thought “no way he links it” but you did thank you. That’s a buy for me
Great setup, i was getting sick and tired of all the Desk setup being "Aesthetic" and basically the whole grovemande catalog. Your video was a nice change of pace and I'm actually stealing a couple of items from yours. Cheers m8
Subbed for the great voiceover, your comedic scope is unique and really works, at least in this one video I've watched of yours. Love it.
I'm so jealous of this desk! Not even the set-up on top of it, just the desk, really. Like having a space to work.
Yea a lot of screws nowadays melt ad just snap instantly. I always buy them separate and throw the ones that come with away. Get a good multi box for like $8.
This is good advice. This guy screws.
@@StandardStoryCo lol
Great setup and fun video
Your commentary has kept me going
My guy. I started playing this video when I opened up my first account cause I like watching/listening to stuff while I work. The video is now over and I did nothing lol. Very well produced content.
With that dance
My favorite youtuber already 👌
I think this is the only desk upgrade video I watched from start to finish. Maybe because it felt real and without the fake ass "aesthetic" desk transformation cuts. Subbed.
The outro was impeccable. 😂
Nothing gets me going like EFFICIENCY BABY
The ending made this worth my time XD nice vid m8
haha love your content brother. Your subtle sense of humor is great too haha Cheers from Samoa
Great video, i like the way you went through start to finish of the upgrade and then transitioned straight into the ending productively, great video
great sense of humor my friend!
Thanks Jeans!
was not expecting the mommies refference - keep feathering it brother
that Elevation Shelf XL Under-Desk Shelf Mount look good man 🙌
You need to do like a desktop tour too. Like show how did you bind that gaming pad or what's your "pro editor productivity workflow".
When you're in the market for a RAID, check out OWC Thunderbay Flex 8 . You can have both super fast NVME SSDs for cache and HDDs for massive storage in the same case. You can usually snag some great deals on hard drives on Black Friday.
Thank you, it means a lot:)
I was loosing hope in my ring light. So nice to see that you’ve included one
12:20 humour's unmatched😂
I feel your pain with moving the visa mount poles and arms. I'm still trying to nail down how I want mine setup. It's also refreshing to see a content creator that doesn't spam the viewer with Grovemade and Ikea testimonial so thanks for that.
Absolutely jealous of this set up, but it's a kind of 'happy, inspired' jealousy.
I got my first desk several months ago, and am really enjoying it. And it has made things so much easier in terms of study and just working on projects. I used to have to do all that on my bed before.
My plan is to eventually start adding 'crap' to my desk area too, just to make it more of a pleasure to work at.
Nice what you've done here.
There are in my opinion only three ways to control cables:
1. wire ties salvaged from all the equipment one bought over the years: for quick and temporary fixings
2. velcro-tape like the "topk" stuff one finds on aliexpress: suitable for long term organization and bundling
3. actual cable-ties: for decades-lasting mounting
I've come to hate rubber bands, since they always disintegrate.
Very nicely done. The desk, the edit, the presentation, and the humour. Hello from Melbourne, Australia🤙
Ive done a few major desk projects in my life and all of them had a second level shelf at the back for my speakers and monitors on top and my amplifier and power points and leads underneath, your cable management looks great but having to climb under the desk to plug/unplug gets old fast, I know most of it is never going to move but some of it is always going to. Every one has there own tastes on which side of clean vs practical they want to be on though. Great video!
Very cool desk setup, clean and simple looks amazing.
I could use a desk uplift myself. I like how you explain everything. haha. kept me entertained.
Feeling very zen after this video. Keep the content coming man, loving it.
Destroy work life balance and alienate myself even more....🤣😭😫 Why is it so true!!🎥
Grab a label maker it's a game changer!
like for that satchler tripod that rocks the iPhone camera
Definitely subbed! That’s lots of work man, the cable management is 🔥🔥🔥
Killer video. I'm equal parts inspired and terrified. I should give my desk the same treatment, but damn ... looks like a lot of work.
It's beautiful how he doesn't pick up the dirty plate... because, after all, an editing set isn't complete without leftover food.
a very good video and edit. I have the same keyboard from Logitech and I love it, only thing I wished it had extra is backlit.
the only thing that I would suggest is - to get a Logitech wireless mouse. I use the M720 triathlon and like the keyboard, it can connect to 3 devices. BUT the main reason is Logi Flow, it allows you to use your keyboard and mouse as in KVM switch, seamlessly move between Windows and Mac OS.
last 5 sec jajajajaj the best part
WHAT A SET UP! Love it!
Great video, You could also use Green Soul Monster Ultimate X Chair. 250$ and 20x better than the one you had to purchase. Just a friendly suggestion
this is a great inspiration to improve my desk setup! I have the same Voizon arm and I can't give up its functionality, but I can achieve a better look!
I like the humor in the video! The thumbs up. 😂🥸
Your awesome man! Thanks for the great content!!!
4:23 How about using a NAS for a central Storage of everything and you will also have RAID functionality there
Appreciated the moms house high and tight. Where are the bodies Garth?
Zoom has a function to use the recorder as a usb audio interface. Maybe tascam also has that. I mean even my budget zoom H5 can
This was so much fun to watch 😅
you are a very helpful guy
Very helpful vid. Cleaning up my wires under the table and will create a video similar to this. Thanks!
Lol.... the ending gave me a good laugh.
1:21 Who's gonna pull clutch and tell me what movie this is?
broo.. those baseus monitor light broke 3 of my power strips... use an inexpensive power brick instead prior to powering it directly to the power strip, so if anything goes wrong it would turn to brick.
Thanks for another great upload! Would love to see a video on your thoughts using the ZB Duo. Fascinating bit of kit
Excellent Video. Liked and subbed. Definatley going to use the idea of putting my laptop and monitors on one stand!
Very cool setup. I'm gonna hit some of those affiliate links pretty soon! Thanks for the video.
Stumbled across your videos while procrastinating - I really appreciate the effort and time you put in this video, and I love the Humor :D gonna check you what else you have on your channel :) great work
Dude I'm dying laughing watching this. I'm on the night schedule and I love it. But when you said Alienate yourself from your girlfriend I damn near fell off my seat 😂
I'm such an idiot :-0 I have a great LED light tape stuck to the underside of my upper bar cabinet to illuminate my bottles and yet, somehow, couldn't figure out how to effectively backlight my desk monitor. Sheesh! Lots of other cool ideas in there too. I'm definitely getting a monitor light as well. Thank for the wakeup! Sometimes you really need a 'paradigm shifter' (aka FNG or, F'n new guy) to shake you out of your old habits ;-)
Thanks for the inspiration... Keep the vidz coming.
Fantastic setup
It looks so nice can not wait for the nice movies from it, good job again 👌👌👏👏
This is awesome setup man.
Your desk is officially my goal….. fuck, you’re doing good!
The Graph 😂 0:37
one day ❤️
"now I'm gonna be more efficient, starting tonight, starting now.." A FEW MINUTES LATER, 😂😂😂🎮🎮
Well done 👍🏻
Adhesive zip locks and adhesive round rubber cable ties are not very good because the adhesive does not last and they will end up in the floor. The way cables are around the power brics is just a mess. Just use regular zip ties and zip all the cables properly.
this was a great video! the commentary was great! really made me laugh!
hahahhh nice happy ending lmao
Fart graveyard = coffee out of my nose. You get a like for that comment alone. Thanks dude!
love you bro for our dream setup love you
Simple minimalist desk :) just what i need to do giving me good ideas thanks for this video!
Good setup, good editing!

Thanks for sharing👏🏻
I'm subscribing because you're funny.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂loved the whole thing
Sup? Suup? Soup? Soop? Soooop it up. Oh man.... Brought me right back to 7th grade.
oh man, you really hit us with Goro too?! Did you grow up in so cal?
wooow so cool...love it
ahahahahahh I admit that half life at the end caught me by surprise! What an unexpected turn of events!
3:33 we call that "Nerd Neck"
I loved it
dude awesome stuff!
Don't use rubber bands or those bread bag wire ties, use zip ties and those self-adhesive ties that's the best way to go
Please be careful with the angle and height of your monitors, constantly looking up and down and to the right to look between screens is gonna stress your neck. Try to keep your large monitor directly level with your eyes and the tablet only slightly offset from the monitors location.
