ant paid for that green screen goddammit and it will be used! (Although compound media's official excuse is there are too many shows to have a physical set for each)
I've been to the studio and it's actually very professional looking up-close. There also isn't a lot of space to do much else.
That said, the green screen hurts it and there are better ways to use the space he has. I wish they just set it up more like a traditional podcasting network. He could have built a cool set around that and frankly nobody would care if the different shows shared a set.
I think it's really just stubbornness at this point. Most people who aren't dumb and don't have weird self image issues would, when confronted with a lot of negative feedback about an aspect of their show from their fans, would take a step back and take a critical look at the issue and then change it. Not Anthony though. He is going to dig in his heals and double down on it at the expense of the success of his network just for the sake of not wanting to admit that the "haters" were right.
Sam's basement wrestling studio looks fine. Ant needs a studio that changes for all the hosts he has working at his network, so the green screen does that. They all also need to be able to play video, and they can do that on the green screen. Gavin left Ant's company, and he has a set up like Sam, but to play video he needs TV screens mounted on the walls to play stuff, and to bring up articles he is talking about he needs another TV to put that onto. It's barely ok if only one person is using the room.
They need to fix how bad the background looks, but I think it's basically the same thing as everyone uses. I don't notice Ant and Artie are in front of green screen, because it would be like complaining about the local news having a green screen.
Honest question, did it? I have no facts to back this, but it seems like Gavin is way more famous than Ant, and more relevant than Artie. If I was on the business side of things, I would have gave Artie's salary to Gavin, if that was my only options. If Artie is really getting $700,000, then I'd thing more about it.

Plus Anthony's show has Artie on camera, the human equivalent of having a tomato sauce stain on the front of your shirt. They'd be better off just throwing a tarp over him, I doubt he'd even notice.
As for the green screen argument, I bought a portable green screen once when I was working remotely both to seem professional and hide my messy basement.
You have to iron it flat and keep the fabric impossibly tight to avoid wrinkles. Also, you need an array of hot and super bright lamps shining onto it just to get the chromakey to work properly. And the wide angle of most webcams means that whatever size you buy will not be wide enough. 6'x9' looks big enough but it's actually teenie-tiny.

Ant is a moron.
1 BumbiBestie 2017-11-05

You could probably pirate the software to change the background for free. But without the shitty 4k HD backgrounds and blurry people talking.
1 DildoRenter 2017-11-05
I like how Anthony and team don't know what an aspect ratio is.
1 PennTheTrashman 2017-11-05
add a couple of flashlights to that and some dollar store clip on mics and you're good to go!
1 ProudOfYourBoy2 2017-11-05
Yet they have the same physical set for every show

1 Dogcatchdog 2017-11-05
He just cant shake the bad public access tv vibe its hilarious. His hair and face look like shit reflecting off the green all the time too lol
1 AssholeinSpanish 2017-11-05
Everyone makes fun of the terrible circa-1998 CGI background, but I feel like more attention should be paid to the Casio keyboard intro music.

Yuck, does he really do a wrestling podcast?
1 Zazz_Lacker 2017-11-05
Yeah. You think having one and only one hobby for the past thirty years is unhealthy and obnoxious or something?
Look at this asshole, I bet he tries new things every once in a while.

I want to see a wrestler pick him up & smash him through that desk, & hopefully it's more solid than Anth's flimsy shit.

the only thing I like about the set up are the air jordan 1's
1 Peckahnator 2017-11-05
A treetrunk with an upside down bucket to sit on is a better looking broadcast set than what Anth has.
1 turdthief2 2017-11-05
Ant would prefer an upside stool, thankyouverymuch
1 buckspudly 2017-11-05
Almost had it. Next time.

It'd look even better if someone threw Sam through that table.

They only smash him in the Spanish studio next door.

1 ChurchOfBaldOpie 2017-11-05
That's a very classy way to not hang a picture, Sam. Just lean that shit against the blinds. Looks great buddy
1 expedition11g 2017-11-05
It's amazing what some dark lighting can do for you and your set's appearance
1 idamnedit 2017-11-05
Do you think Jess makes him take it down and oujt it all away after every show?
1 VicDumb 2017-11-05
Jess probably made him move all of his wrestling shit from the house into the basement. He thought he might as well make a studio with all of it
1 idamnedit 2017-11-05
I really wish it were one of those dirt hole root cellars.
1 Gregg_Hughes 2017-11-05

1 To_Come_On_Eileen 2017-11-05
So Sam's basement is essentially a shrine to himself?
His (((wife))) taught him well.
When he's done ruining Jimmy's career, he will have gotten rid of everyone that stood in his way to stardom.

That actually does look pretty decent. It doesn't hurt that it's a real studio, rather than a green screen.

It's bad because Keith is incompetent and the reason why Compound Media lost all it's shows.

Nor do I. Is it like "oh no not Sam Roberts again!" Kind of thing?
1 oandauser 2017-11-05
I think it’s a play on others doing “the real” such and such when their name was taken. So instead of TheRealSamRoberts he’s NotSam
1 To_Come_On_Eileen 2017-11-05
And the rest of us wondered what his (((wife))) saw in him. Clearly, this level of wit would melt any iceberg.

1 Dawgsie 2017-11-05
He needs to get rid of the skinny-fat, balding, retarded thing that sits at the desk though. Really ruins his presentation.

Did he do that all himself? The lighting is nice.
As for the green screen argument, I bought a portable green screen once when I was working remotely both to seem professional and hide my messy basement.
You have to iron it flat and keep the fabric impossibly tight to avoid wrinkles. Also, you need an array of hot and super bright lamps shining onto it just to get the chromakey to work properly.
