I wish there were more details on this. Obviously I shouldn't get my hopes up since it is only 80-100 GPUs in their stock.

That's what I was thinking. Since the HDMI capture shouldn't effect the image/grade ...It looks like his picture profile (Canon LUT) on the Canon camera is hurting the image. What bugs me is once the lighting was in place, he didn't try to manually expose the webcam to see how good it could actually be with just a "modest" lighting upgrade. 2x Key Light Airs comes to likely around 275 USD after tax. This is from my setup: https://i.imgur.com/s3AvaId.jpg Lighting is key. Two cheap colored LED bulbs from Walmart lit my back wall. I am lit by a desk lamp bouncing off the wall in front of me. The room is actually mostly dark. I do have a decent camera hooked to my Elgato but what LTT spent in XLR gear ($900 pre tax between his XLR capture and Microphone) ... That puts his budget way over mine. IDK if I attached the image right so I also linked a IMGUR link from January 2019.

A lot of production houses use gear that is 2x high resolution than what they master for so they can zoom in post without dropping below the master resolution. So shooting at 8K to master for 4K for most people to view at 1080p is actually pretty normal

Absolutely. A good codec with a high bitrate is also very important when it comes to getting a good key. Even moreso if you plan on zooming/reframing in post. I don't think I have seen any of their greenscreen work on their new gear ... but I know given given equipment and stage they have, their keys should be better. It looks like they might have a lot of bounce since the hosts tend to look discolored for those videos. Hope people don't read that as an insult to LMG.

Just watched the Ultimate DIY Desk PC FINAL INSTALLATION In Glorious 8K video ( https://youtu.be/xAP1a1H0Mg0 ) where they mentioned Red so they are definitely using the WEAPON 8K.

What video was that?

Wow ... an 8K RED is quite an amazing camera. I'm sure this will help them with their green screen shooting. They must be intending to crop/zoom in post so they don't have to use two cameras to have a tight and wide shots. I wonder if they picked up a Red Rocket for their work stations. I edit Blackmagic RAW footage and I wish they had a solution like RED does. I hope they aren't going through their crazy transcoding methods that they did in the past.

My first post on this forum ... so I appologize if this is the wrong place to ask. I saw in Unboxing a PETABYTE of Storage - HOLY $H!T Ep. 16 ( https://youtu.be/uykMPICGeqw ) that they are now using 8K cameras? Does anyone know what camera they are using and what type of machine they are editing on?
