I have over 600 Transformers. Do you know the last time I saw all of them together? 2007! I bought more since that time and so I probably have close to 700 now but when I got them all out and together was one day when I had an empty giant room. I set every one of them up for a photo shoot with the local paper around the opening of the first Transformers movie. Then I boxed everything into 12 Rubbermaid trunks and put them in the attic of my parent’s house. They are still there.
I’m looking to pair things down and that means selling off my collection (not the originals but the other stuff) and just keep and display those ones that mean something to me, my first one, Wheeljack and all the subsequent Wheeljack figures that were made after that. Transformers that I can see and enjoy. I want that around my office and so these few were set up in one of the boxes that hold up my TV for filming gaming videos.
I’ve been making gaming videos in my office but my setup had my TV way too low to also have the computer up. The computer would always be in the way of seeing everything on the TV. I was also told that when I make videos I am looking up and down and up and down because of the shift in the heights. The TV does have to up higher but now I have a webcam that sits above the computer and more in line with me naturally looking at the TV.
In order to raise up the TV I needed something to put it on. I was at Target and I found a couple of containers that would work perfectly. I could use them to not only support the TV but also to allow me to display a few things that I like including my Hulkbuster LEGO and my Optimus Prime figure.I think I’ll be adding more Transformers to that side and also figure out how to add some lighting in there. Now the desk is much less clutters and I have the lighting I need for the use of the green screen. You need good lighting to use the green screen.
This new setup also made a better place for the power strip and the Switch, plus the XBox and the XBox controller charger. I’ll be getting some command strips with hooks that I can use to hang the headphones and keep them from off the ground and out of the way. This should make the work area much more usable now.
