Thank you 🧼 The video before this one shows the journey of setting up the new shop with a tour at the end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/parUlH-bm8-fqrM

I love your new apron & the video was wonderful , I enjoyed just watching you make beautiful soap with music in the background 😊

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧼 I am pleased you liked this different video

[@susannestephens2073]

Lovely…. Ice swirls within the layer ❤

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧼 I was so pleased to get some nice swirls in this one as they are hard to get with this fragrance.

This was lovely Keeley, I didnt mind a music/no talking one for a little change.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧼 I might do a few others just to change things up a little

[@calico_kitties]

I always love your music choices for your videos. Great vibes 🎶

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧡 It's tricky picking music as everyone has different tastes.

Another great soaping video Keeley. Frankly speaking no matter u work while u talk or u talk while u work or u just work w/o talk, I still find it enjoyable to watch the whole process❤ The angle is good, it didnt block our view & u also tried not to put the bowl bottom face towards us, I can see how skillful u are when u scrap the last bit of the soap batter out, u also added annotations when u think we maybe interested to know. See! U also "talked" to us! This way of filming may also allow u to concentrate on your soap making w/o distraction so also save u more times to do other stuff or have a sip of coffee break.❤ PS. I personally enjoy every sharing from u in all ways😊

Thank you 🧼 I am so pleased you enjoyed this different style. I never really intended to put this video out but thought why not 😊 Luckily I can work with my left hand just as well as my right which helps with this camera angle.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧼

Happy to see you in the shop! I hope you do amazingly well there. Location and lighting looks good. I prefer to hear you speak rather than the music, and if you have to do your videos to music, it would be nice if you did an outro because this video came to a sudden end.

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧼 It is so good to be back in the shop. Thank you for the feedback. I never intended to release this video and was purely doing it so I could check lighting and sound quality. After checking it, I decided to edit it as I had no other videos to release 😝 I didn't even take my usual photos which is why it ends so abruptly but I will try to do outros in future if I do anymore like this.

Well done Keeley. Everything will take time for your to get used to a new set up, so don't worry too much about it. I am sure in a couple more pours, you will change things around again. The lighting was pretty good, although we didn't get to see your usually pouring technique as well as we used to, but it was fine. Only thing you missed in the video was telling us what your fragrance was...lol. The soap looks lovely by the way. I just had a thought, is it possible to set the camera up on the back wall so it looks down on your soaping bench? But I am sure you will move things around until you are happy with the results. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next video. Oh the apron is fantastic!!! Take care xx 😊😊💝💝

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧼 Luckily the work area isn't too different to what I was used to I just can't get the camera behind the bench and I have to get used to the power point position. I am trying to find an overhead camera rib that can be set up to the side as the metal tables do shake when the stickblender goes 😝 As I have the mica shelves on the wall, it is not possible to get the camera on the back wall. I don't always say what fragrance I am using. There are several reasons I do this but it is usually because I have blended a few scents together.

[@dolphinlover1691]

Hi Keeley, I enjoyed the presentation lots. What about trying out a bird's eye view (from above) of the actual soap making? 🤔

[@SoyandShea]

I would love to go back to an overhead view like I did in the old soap shed. I did try my old tripod that does this but I don't have anywhere to stand it to get the overhead shot 😢 I am looking for a new camera rig so I can do it.

[@myfathersdaughter324]

Very pretty soap. How did you find the soap making navigating in your new store?

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🧼 I am getting used to my new area quickly. It's a very similar set up though I have to get used to where the power point is.
