It&#8217;s a relatively large studio in Santa Monica built to help filmmakers make bigger and better videos. I love the vibe inside. It feels very modern and clean like the google offices in Mountain View, California. They have food trucks that come by to serve the Youtube employees. We got to join in on the grub and I had a lobster sandwich. It was tasty! Then there was a happy hour and we got to check out some google glass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/google-glass.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1280\" alt=\"google glass\" src=\"http:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/google-glass.jpg\" width=\"348\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/google-glass.jpg 828w, https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/google-glass-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/google-glass-761x1024.jpg 761w, https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/google-glass-700x941.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But enough about the space itself.

Last year the Harlem Shake was everywhere. For this music video they put a ton of the most popular viral video concepts in one music video. (You can watch the whole music video at the end of this article.) There were a bunch of scientists at work and then I try to rally them to do the Harlem Shake with me&#8230; but instead they all leave and only the janitor is left.. not participating. (See some behind the scenes footage of me harlem shaking by watching the video at the top of the page or clicking here:\u00a0<a title=\"Do the Harlem Shake at Youtube Space\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tj5ykzO5SzI\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tj5ykzO5SzI<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/monkey-yt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1281\" alt=\"monkey yt\" src=\"http:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/monkey-yt.jpg\" width=\"1133\" height=\"821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/monkey-yt.jpg 1133w, https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/monkey-yt-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/monkey-yt-1024x742.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alfredrocks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/monkey-yt-700x507.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1133px) 100vw, 1133px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yep, they had monkeys and goats there too.
