My Second Home

[@Kumofan]

Another suggestion for sound absorption for anyone who might be doing something similar: moving blankets! A few inches from the wall or behind the mic, they work incredibly well at deadening the sound & can add some texture/color depending on the make. Quite a few professional VO artists use them!

[@inyourfayes]

Oeh that’s a great idea! So if I understand it correctly, you would hang a blanket off the wall? 🙌

[@Kumofan]

@@inyourfayes yep! You can hang it directly against the wall or 2-4 inches off (the air gap enhances the deadening and reduces reflection transferring from the wall by contact). Can also hang them from c-stands or whatnot as more temporary options during recording! A second layer can help enhance the effect, but it does get a bit toasty & with too much deadening you can get a bit of a muffled, boxy sound. In any case, for a small space like this, especially if you use a shotgun mic, unadorned parallel walls are the enemy, so everything that will disrupt the reflection of sound helps (books, furniture, photos, etc). You can also get acoustic panels with artwork printed on them which work well for video backdrops-I believe you could have your own photos printed or make your own panels with some corning 703 insulation!

[@Sebbir]

You mean absorbation 😂

[@Kumofan]

​@@Sebbir Nope :)

[@citiestoash]

I haven’t felt the need to change my studio set up in years. But now? Lord I may just have to grab some rogue blankets and give it a shot lmao. Useful knowledge right there

I really love the edit of this short film. Being a video editor I really like the way you presented the story.

Well, that was a ""feel good" video that I didn't see coming...but it's great. Your humanity and love of life comes through in your photos and videos, but this little jaunt behind the scenes into your life really......brings it into sharp focus. Congratulations on your happiness and the growth of your international presence...keep those photos videos coming! Groetjes!!!!! (looked that up on the interweb)

[@inyourfayes]

Ahhh! Thank you so much. Very glad the video had that impact on you. This one came from the heart haha. Groetjes!! 😜

Faayyyyyeeeeee this video was amazing ! I love the storytelling part. So cinematic and so touching ! Great work !!! ( also , not me thinking half way through that it would lead to a proposal ).. The music tho with the story fit so perfectly ! It was really immersive !!!

Thank you girl! 🥰 Metooooo!

[@michaelanderberg]

First of all, congrats and best of luck on the new adventure part - really cool! Secondly, thank you for making this video, really cool to see how you took that space and transformed it! I got the feeling that it was originally meant more as a storage unit? Really great then that it had a window. I’ve recently moved out of my old studio, but something like this might be worth exploring, albeit on the other side of the Earth.

[@inyourfayes]

Thank you! I am so happy with it. Everything I need.

[@NateGigovic]

That was a really well filmed and edited solo video!

Were you recorded the little movie part from 1:53 - 4:56? What lenses were used? And if you choose this type of slow cinematic videos, wont be a mistake. Nice one!

[@inyourfayes]

Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Mike, my partner filmed with the Sony A7C Mark II. And used the following lenses: - Sony 50 mm F1.4 - Sigma 35 mm F1.4 - Sigma 85 mm F1.4 Let me know if you have any other questions! 🙌

[@cbmilne]

Looks great. I have often thought of this but the storage facilities near me in Queensland dont have power or windows and are not open 24 hrs so it would really restrict me.

[@inyourfayes]

Hmm! Yeah it would be ideal if it has all those things.. If you ever find one that suits your interests, definitely go for it. I think it’s a great space to set up a office 🙌

[@atruewild]

I genuinely appreciate your willingness to take risks, which was ultimately the message of this video. You are a talented photographer, videographer, storyteller, and unintentional comedian (and general contractor) who creates compelling stories and subtly communicates sound professional development ideas. When I first watched this video, I needed to figure out where you were going with it, and it seemed like a gamble. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't just another typical 'studio setup' video. I was impressed by how you took something ordinary and applied unconventional thinking, resulting in memorable content. Kudos to the team for keeping it fresh, and congrats on a growing business.

[@inyourfayes]

Ahh your message put a really big smile on my face! That means a lot. I really enjoyed making this video. I know it will be one that I will watch in a couple years and remember me of these times. Thank you for supporting me, that means a lot! 💙
