My Gear: Content Creator Setup
Behind the Scenes: My Egotastic FunTime Setup
When you watch an Egotastic FunTime video or an episode of Talking The Orville, you’re seeing the end result of hours of writing, editing, and producing. But none of that would be possible without the gear that keeps my workflow sharp and my creativity flowing. This is the setup that helps me take positivity and fandom straight from my desk to your screen.
Clarity in Delivery
To keep my monologues smooth and natural, I use the Elgato Teleprompter. It keeps me on track without pulling me out of the moment—my eyes stay forward, my energy stays connected to you.
Crisp, Clean Visuals
Every creator needs a camera they can rely on, and for me that’s the Elgato Facecam. It delivers pro-level quality with zero fuss, so I can focus on performing—not fiddling with settings.
Studio-Level Audio
If video is the face of the channel, audio is the heartbeat. The Elgato Wave:3 Microphone ensures that every word I say comes through with warmth and clarity. Because bad audio? That’s the fastest way to lose an audience.
Workflow Control
At the core of my production desk is the Elgato Stream Deck XL. It’s my mission control—scene changes, effects, overlays—all one tap away. It’s not just convenient; it keeps the show moving seamlessly.
Lighting the Scene
Video lives or dies on lighting. My combination of an LED Flood Light, a RALENO LED Video Light, and a sturdy desk mount gives me full control of the mood. Bright and clear when I need focus, softer and dramatic when I want to lean into the sci-fi vibe.
Why It Matters
Gear alone doesn’t make a channel—but the right tools free me to focus on what matters: building community, celebrating stories, and making space for joy in fandom. With this setup, I don’t just create videos. I create a place where fans can escape cynicism and rediscover the fun in being a nerd.
