While setting up for our acrylic paint live stream I must have messed up the focus settings which threw off the next video we filmed π (everything turned out fine in the end, you'll hear more in our 8/7 aftershow lol).
But that just accelerated some plans I had to upgrade our setup, which includes a bigger monitor that is right above our workbench! This is going to help us frame things but more importantly make sure everything is in focus. I also added the beginning of some cable management (with 3D printed cable supports I designed):

And added a power strip that I shortened the cable for so I would not have to wind the cable up.

But I still have a lot to do before I'm done upgrading this overhead setup. This just makes me think about how we keep on taking on new projects (podcast, gaming, streaming, etc) and how each time we do, we learn new things that improve the whole of what we do. All of these upgrades started with garage live streams and then I got more ideas from the cooking video (adding a top down light), but all of these changes and upgrades will end up helping our main channel videos too π
All of that to say we appreciate y'alls support while we explore new things and spend time upgrading instead of cranking out content as fast as possible without taking the time to look around and think about what we're doing/how to do it better.
