Dude for someone just starting out on KZbin, you have talent. Quality of the video editing and work, looked like someone with 500k subscribers at least. Can’t wait to see more!

[@SeizetheDIY]

Man, that’s so encouraging! I really appreciate the feedback and I’m excited to make more content because of comments like yours. Thnx!!

[@squeekhobby4571]

I concur. Excellent work

@@SeizetheDIY oh trust me brother you're preaching to the choir here LOL. A 2-hour project takes me about 5 hours when filming

[@BuddysDIY]

@@SeizetheDIY the only thing I can say that you can improve on is the audio quality. Some sound deadening material or an upgraded mic really brings voice overs to the next level.

[@SeizetheDIY]

@@BuddysDIY thanks! The audio I’m definitely still trying to figure out. I’m going to break out my vocal mic for singing, compressor, aural enhancer and see if it makes a difference… I used a cheap mic for voice overs for this video but I guess I need to return to my roots lol Any suggestions for mics etc would be greatly appreciated though.

[@BuddysDIY]

@@SeizetheDIY I person use the yeti blue. My editing room/office has sound deadening material. The yeti is cheap and is decent enough for what I do. You can see the quality in my last car flip video. Not perfect but good Enough for our blue collar viewers for sure

Dude. AWESOME job. I want a brick accent wall in my new house and had no idea panels were a thing. I was going to just buy brick and stack them.

[@SeizetheDIY]

Thanks man! Glad it helped... there's also another new alternative product that uses real brick veneer on sheets- check my video description.

[@dchan3113]

Look into brick veneer - actual clay bricks but molded to be very thin. Still need to install one at a time like tile, mortar between after, but has a much more realistic look and feel after. :)

[@SeizetheDIY]

@@dchan3113 Actually the product called Brickwebb (in the vid description) has multiple bricks on sheets like backsplash tile... you just use adhesive and then go back and add mortar between each to make it look legit. I'm going to use that method next time around.

[@THESHORTFIELD]

Loved the music Bro!! Loved the demo!! I want to do this same thing to my new apt.

[@SeizetheDIY]

Thanks a ton! I appreciate the constructive criticism- it’ll make the next videos better! It’s taking me a bit to shift over from mixing metal songs where the music remains at a higher volume behind vocals, to a VO for video- so your feedback is spot on. 👌

Hey bro great job and production! Which software did you use to figure it out? Amazing wall!

[@SeizetheDIY]

Thank you dude! Much appreciated. I’m a graphic designer by trade, so I use Adobe Illustrator because that’s what’s familiar to me, but it does allow you to draw everything to scale using vector art.

[@bubbleblossom333]

Just watched all of the vids on your channel so far (all three at this point) and holy shit. Sorry for the language but genuinely so shocked that you’re at less than 5k. I actually had to real life double take when I read that. If KZbin is something you want to succeed at, you will most definitely excel. The video quality is great, the audio, editing, shots, light advertising for yourself that doesn’t feel forced or pushy, and very very informative yet also very digestible. All this to say, great job and I hope you continue making videos :) I’m sure these take quite a while to make, but I’m subbed now with notifications patiently waiting for the day (if it comes, no pressure though) Also side note, I’d probably trust any product you endorsed, so if there’s any good brands in the creators comments *hint hint* could be very helpful for you in creating more fun projects in the future and just nice in general I’m sure :) Only good brands though no sweatshops or animal abuse and you’re golden. Thanks for the vid. Hope this isn’t pushy, just wanted to lend a kind word of support for a creator but by no means do you have to do anything other than what you’ve already done :)) Have a good one

[@SeizetheDIY]

Hi Dead Flower- cool name :) I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my vids and provide positive feedback! All the aspects you talked about (audio, editing, angles... etc) are definitely super important to me- the only downside is that my projects take 3x longer to complete because the video actually amounts to the most work (not the DIY). I have more projects coming for sure... I'd love to do this for a living, but for now it's just something I do in my spare time (when I'm not working my day job lol) because I love it. Maybe one day! I like the thought of promoting some brands that I love- thanks for the idea! I'll have to think about which ones are cool and have enough integrity to stand behind... and relate back to DIY. I need to continue designing my own apparel so I can pitch that more haha Thanks again for the thoughtful comment. Take care :)

[@victorhung747]

Great detailed video...like your attention to each of the minimal aspects of the process...want to ask information about the 'design software ' you used for this project .. Thanks in advance!

[@SeizetheDIY]

Hi and thanks for the positive feedback! I use Adobe Illustrator because I’m a graphic designer. The software has the capability of drawing simple lines to scale and also rendering based on your level of skill (as there’s no real preloaded textures and surfaces etc). The power of it for me is the ability to layout plans to scale and then create a mock-up visual for me to evaluate and plan the aesthetics of. It also can be used to output several file types for 3d, laser cutting, water-jetting, or cnc.

Thanks a lot, man! I used Adobe Illustrator. It’s not really intended for interior design / structural stuff but it’s what I’m familiar with because I’m a Graphic Designer… although, it allows precision vector drawings to scale, so it’s also kind of perfect lol
