[@danielbuergo]

Thank you for your content and efforts! I’m curious how you acquired the Japan Rail Map above your monitor at your desk? I have searched high and low for this since seeing it for the first time. Any information is greatly appreciated.

[@hmuz8388]

if a Ghibli character was a photographer, that's what his studio would look like haha! Love it

[@teocrawford]

Omg that actually sounds so much like what I've been going for, even though I never realised that :,D

[@jaychow94]

I love the use of the crates. Absolutely stealing that idea. This is a refreshing take on a homely photography office space in a world of dystopian, sterile rooms.

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh lovely, please do steal the idea! :D Ahh you say it, I can't stand the sterile nature of many contemporary interiors so I'm happy you can connect with this different approach of mine :))

[@kucken64]

Yes, I thought the same thing. I am going to shamelessly steal this.

[@Chris43791FTW]

blue hour in that room must be so calming and theraputic, especially with the view. im jealous

[@fellowcreator]

I have never seen a studio that is as cozy and functional as this one!

[@teocrawford]

Aww amazing, thank you for the kind comment!

[@KillerTacos54]

These are the kind of videos I can literally watch endlessly.

[@_Just_Some1]

Absolutely love your studio/desk setup. So much better than all the minimalist desk setups. Love it.

[@trananh.10_]

This video has made me feel more inspired in order to set up a vintage wood room ~ Importantly, I'm impressed by your passion for film photographs. Best lucks for you, Teo 👏

[@xelapearl473]

I just found your channel because I just started my journey and hobby as a film photographer. I am not a photographer myself, I don't even own any camera but I am really interested. I bought a film camera at a local Japanese surplus store for $3 only and it's working properly. Of course I have no idea how and what to photograph so I started to search here on youtube for some inspiration and I came across your videos. I really enjoyed your videos about film photography. It gave me inspiration and ideas on what to shoot. I hope you can post more videos in the future.

[@vasilisbessas]

Love this space it’s so nice and cozy. And the Japanese copy of Pokémon Pearl sitting there, love to see it. Great video and amazing work Teo. 😊

[@jiwonmoon]

I love love love this video. I love seeing how people's studios look like and this is great inspiration since I'm going to redo my room as well. Beautiful made, Teo!

[@teocrawford]

Ahh amazing! Same, I also watch a lot of these videos and so I was so excited to finally make my own. I'm so happy you could find some inspiration in it!

[@balolo-shop]

So cozy! Your aesthetics match our Setup Cockpit Desk Shelf so well!

[@neildominictorres3462]

Absolutely magical space! Love the warmth from the lights and the coziness from the plants. One thing I’d suggest though is a rug.

[@teocrawford]

Aww glad you enjoyed the tour! Ahhhh yes, that's actually on the top of my list of "things I'm still missing"! I feel like there's a bit of a hole in the middle of my room haha, so thanks for the suggestion! :))

[@eingilddeclaro6171]

With your color work in videos and photos, one would think you are using a proper color-calibrated monitor. When you showed that you're using a generic full HD dell monitor, I am genuinely shocked. You are a very talented photographer indeed.

[@teocrawford]

Hahah I know I lack some professionalism in certain aspects, but I love to make this clear actually, that we can all make do with "normal" equipment! :)) Thank you for the kind comment!

[@Mote.]

I like your videos. They are comforting and fun

[@lizard_like]

used that mac keyboard for YEARS. The film cannister idea is brilliant.

[@holypeachy]

If you find your Sennheisers too tight you might want to stretch them to fit a little bit more loose. From what I've seen most Sennheiser headphones come this way. Just place a few books upright and put the headphones on top, leave them overnight for a few days and that should make them a lot more comfortable. I had to do it a few times to get them just right for me.

[@Hans_Holt]

Absolut herrlich, wie du diese Thematik so cinematisch einfängst. Fast unvorstellbar, was für ein Aufwand dahinter steckt.

[@Subideable]

You can build your self a NAS for the hard drive problem! I used an old pc I got for free and installed trueNAS to it, I have 8TBs of storage now

[@teocrawford]

Ohh I'll look into that, thank you!

[@Subideable]

@@teocrawford of course! I should mention I’m running 16tb but one of the 8tb drives is for redundancy so files will always have a back up. Hardware haven is a great KZbin channel to reference (I’m a apparel designer by trade and a layman pc builder.) the Info still was digestible! Good luck and happy file managing

[@daaidai]

Your video is really inspired me. Love your color grading!

[@andikadwi4831]

I have an identical workroom to yours, right down to the table and lamp on your secondary workspace. Love your workroom , love it ! so much memories

[@aleecpx]

man, u re just awesome, keep it coming,

[@BadSloucher]

I like that you got a lot of things 2nd hand. And it's refreshing to see your workspace as usable and not necessarily picture perfect. Thank you for sharing❤

[@Shandaniak]

Totally the room almost as I would like to have and relate. With all the used goods, creates, flea market… looks perfect. And I only jump into the channel because I wanted to see about cheaper film alternatives… subsecibed :-)

[@dustinvuong]

what a lovely space!!

[@alifraj1998]

love from india, awesome setup and that soothing voice ✨

[@HatemEngab]

Thank you very much of sharing your dream place moment with us. I Injoy every smal detail you mentioned. I wish you a great times in this place.

[@aentonia_]

I enjoy your way of creating video / visuals in general so much!

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Love seeing other peoples creatives spaces. Great idea with the desk by the way, that works so nicely with the storage space inside the crates 👌

[@RagsCS]

I just moved into a big(ger) apartment for the first time and needed some inspiration, ty Teo your videos always bring me comfort and good ideas :)

[@lizzy1519]

loved your space and loved to watch it

[@eelsaacf]

Such a cozy studio! Adore your videos❤

[@ReimannPembroke]

Your space is so cozy and the plants add so much character! I love your desk setup and your view out the window is amazing! I’m glad my Koi Pond photo made it into your space :)

[@teocrawford]

Aww glad you enjoyed the tour Reimann! Haha for suuure, I was hoping that you'd spot your work :D

[@sentosarunner]

I'm inspired just watching your video to do a makeover of my mini home office, TC 🙏 Arigato... ☺

[@sofiiarozvv9987]

I discovered your KZbin channel just recently when I was searching for a tutorial on how to load a film into the camera and I must say I couldn't fall asleep without watching one of your videos since then. I love how esthetically pleasing your videos are - colors, fonts, your voice - it's all just so calming and beautiful. Thank you for such a wonderful interesting educational content! I'm new to the 35mm community but I'm already so thrilled to get my first results from my grandpa's old film camera. ❤❤❤

[@ro2974]

ooo love this tour! your studio looks really cozy and i love the use of the crates ❤

[@gongomat]

For Storage I would recommend you buying a NAS. You then can literally up and download Date from you Smartphone, PC, or Laptop as long as you are in your Home Network.

[@Neeintje]

I love the secondary workspace idea -- one side is for editing on the computer and the other side is for unplugging and doing 'analog' work

[@teocrawford]

Yeeeah! Can definitely recommend :))

[@mizuuna]

whenever i watch these kind of videos i always find myself dreaming of having a friend that is like him so i can always visit and learn new stuff about both photography and videography. then i just end up turning back to reality where i am already far away even from this hobby

[@studioluckys]

please do an ASMR channel, your voice is so soothing !!

[@EndlessEase]

so beautifull and the thumbnail is so good dark version

[@BornBurmese]

This is definitely the coziest office space I've came across on youtube wow. Nicely put!

[@BornBurmese]

LOL spring onions. Never would've thought to have that as a houseplant. Have you tried planting tamarind seeds?

[@xixsu]

I just found your channel a few days ago and I adore your style of photography, also great office tour really love the cozy vibes.

[@dreamhiking1032]

Literally, he deserves more ❤ Keep up the good work mate.

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Wonderful tour Teo, Always interested to see how people work. Very calming vibe. Been in the process of organization, but enjoy moving stuff around, (desk on wheels) Thanks for sharing!

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh I've seen a couple of those type of moving furniture - very interesting! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour! :))

[@verlangerter]

Love the willhaben love ❤

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh do I truly love the good old Willhaben hahaha

[@Havenotats]

Cosy Cosy Cosy!!!

[@teocrawford]

Yeeeah!

[@syl20duch]

Beautiful setup. Plenty of ideas to make use of soon. In a month or 2 ill have my own home office which I'll need to fill.

[@kelvinkurniawanshorts]

Love the color!! ❤ What film simulation and film print did u use in Dehancer for this video?

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🙏🏼🫶🏼 Actually none, the colour grading was done in Lumetri, for this video I just used Dehancer to add Grain, Bloom and Halations in a couple shots☺️

[@drewselby1]

I love the DYI desk! I've always considered buying desks (here in the US at least) to be so expensive!! I think I'll be copying that idea this winter!

[@Subhways]

Felt like watching a short documentary ❣️

[@Wjguin]

This is such an inspiring home office tour.

[@mattosjb7340]

man, this looks great!! so cozy and yet so functional

[@srunchres]

amazing working thanks

[@Samyalq]

Love the video and your workspace! Having the wooden boxes as internal storage for your desk is something worth copying haha. I also spotted a roll of Orwo Color 500 in your film box, I recently bought a roll myself… very curious about how the photos will turn out and would love to see you shoot it some time! Cheers :)

[@teocrawford]

Aww glad you enjoyed the tour! Haha please go ahead and copy :D Ohh yes, I really have to shoot that some time and I'll probably film the process, so a video should come of that at some point :))

[@chiahaowang325]

hey i have the save monitor as u, pretty solid one

[@denisnicholson2528]

Would you happen to know where I could purchase some of Satomi-san's work? My wife lived in Japan for 1.5 years, loves cats and I think her would work would put a smile on my wife's face. Also, I love your work. You have an eye for photography and your film editing is exquisite, from the cuts, your voice background (amazing voice, my goodness), etc. Keep up the good work!

[@teocrawford]

Thank you for the kind words🥺🫶🏼 You can purchase Satomi‘s work by simply sending her a DM on Instagram @my_cats_on_film ☺️✨ tell her Hi🙋‍♂️ from me hehe🙌🏼

[@theodorachristodoulou5521]

Absolute perfection.

[@lordbleh]

So pleased to see such character in these days of trendy, ultra clean, ultra minimalist setups. Love this.

[@teocrawford]

Ahh thanks, I can't stand the clean setups so I felt very compelled to share mine haha :D

[@patrykpli]

it's nice to watch and listen to. even though I'm just learning English and I only understand a little 😊😅

[@EstelonAgarwaen]

It is quite interesting how different peoples aesthetic choices are for their rooms. my whole apartment is just white/oak wood ikea stuff. its a lot more rectanglular in the choice of furniture, but it lacks a bit of life still. maybe i need some more plants and guitars on the walls...

[@john.vanzijl]

Ah such a lovely work space Teo. I reckon it's time to move over an M2 MacBook Pro. Pricey but brilliantly fast and has a wonderful colour accurate display. Coming from a Windows Desktop that had 32GB ram, Nvidia RTX 3060 and i7 cpu. I don't really game on my pc anymore so I thought moving to Apple for the first time was a bold move. Don't regret it at all. Powerful and not to mention portable. Also love your greenery, it'll be a forest soon enough haha

[@teocrawford]

Glad you like it Johnny!

[@zulfika_]

I love the color

[@cubingbuzz1]

Awsome video so relaxing to watch.

[@flormaggi_vlogs]

I also live in Innsbruck 😊

[@SalmanBhallai]

Brother I really love your videos! I am curious about your voice quality, its dreamy, professional as if I am watching a documentary. Your video is more like a documentary. Could you please make a video about how to achieve that kind of amazing audio?

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🙏🏼 Ohh good timing to ask that haha I‘m currently working on a video which includes my post processing techniques for the voice over. It‘s a video for Epidemic Sound however so it‘s going to go onto their channel in a couple weeks time🙌🏼✨ Apart from that however I must say it comes down to being close to the mic and I think it’s fair to say that I have a decent mic-voice, which of course just comes down to luck🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@SalmanBhallai]

@@teocrawford you make awesome videos man ❤️, I know I can't say everything here in a comment section that I have inside me about your work but it's great.

[@max_gensler]

You are very charming, mate! 🫶

[@OsakoFilms]

nice video man!! really love your style

[@Neeintje]

that cable management system is actually insane lol

[@alt-gj7xn]

I just discovered your channel and I really love your videos! I love the colours, the grain, and everything about your editing style. One random question: What fonts do you use? I like how clean they are and the character they have. Great stuff, keep it up Teo!

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🥹🫶🏼 I mostly use Futura (very clean) and Felt Tip Roman (squiggly).✨

[@oh8730]

That Mando and Grogu artwork is awesome anyone know where he got it?

[@coderaj6976]

Hi . I really love your videos . They are very beautiful and relaxing . Btw how tall are you?

[@geneyoon11]

Absolutely love the studio brother!

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks for the kind comment Gene! Btw. I love seeing the little snippets from the Creative Club Chicago you often post! :D

[@VacatedData]

love the stuff man 🐀 👍

[@fotoralf]

What a beautiful place. You have great taste. But why put the PC on the desktop? It takes up precious space and makes noise. Methinks that PCs and dogs belong under the table rather than on top of it.

[@invitedtohell]

Pretty ironic. Buying a japan looking mouse from a german company, in japan. 😂😂 5:38

[@bonnevilleponds]

Lovely space mate. Curious about your pc setup, are you running mac on there? My old macbook pro is need of an upgrade and im thibking of building a pc instead as new laptops are just too expenisive. How is the pc and how do you run what you do?

[@teocrawford]

Thank you! In the video I briefly showed the specs on screen, so you can check. I'm honestly not that knowledgeable about my setup haha :,D It's a windows btw. I should also mention that it doesn't do wonders. I've learned a lot about how to handle different files for a smoother editing and rendering process, it's actually not all about your PC specs. So I work with proxies oftentimes and when adding heavy effects I'll render some of the shots with the effects applied in Prores 422 and then lay those on top so that the PC doesn't have to render all the effects at once (which has often caused a breakdown). So rendering all the effects to 422 and then re-rendering to H264 works better than directly rendering all the effects to a compressed H264 video. Does that make sense?

[@robertotoledo107]

Hi, I plan to move to Vienna next year for a PhD, how's the city and the locals?

[@soso-yg9gb]

Where can i get the map of Japan that is abobe ur desk??

[@HungTran-wf3gu]

Hi Teo, i just buy the gx85 and started take photo from it, but seem like the amount of practice from take photo and edit to take good image is too much compare to just take the picture on the phone. Do u have any advice for me?

[@teocrawford]

Welcome to photography😅 All digital cameras require you to learn editing, that’s just how photography works🤔 You could of course shoot Jpeg and try to make the best possible shot in camera by always manually adjusting the white balance for each photo and working with a custom picture profile, however that is not flexible, therefore photographers shoot in Raw, so that after shooting we have as much data in the photograph as possible to then edit it in Lightroom (or any other software) to make the image look good. If you actually want to just shoot and not think about editing you‘re probably better off shooting film and getting your scans from a good lab who will edit the photos for you, but that is really expensive… So, I suggest that you watch a couple Lightroom tutorials and start learning. Once you get good at it, it will open a whole new world to you, because you will be able to create so many interesting looks. You could also consider buying presets for Lightroom which can often work as a decent base to work off of, but I would advise you to first learn Lightroom, so that you understand what the presets do, because otherwise you might get a bit lost🤔 Does that make any sense? I hope this could somehow help🙏🏼

[@tobiz8785]

Hahahah willhaben >>>

[@valiantzest]

Where can i purchase those prints by Satomi?

[@teocrawford]

On Instagram via DM :D

[@alexk1222]

Why do you store your films in a cardboard rather then in a fridge? Film photographers normally store their film in a fridge because that is the best way to save all the chemical and colour properties of a film.

[@invitedtohell]

Which app do you use for calculating iso and shutter speed when having a fixed aperture?

[@teocrawford]

You mean for my film photography? It's called Lghtmtr :)

[@invitedtohell]

@@teocrawford Thank you very much! Hab tatsächlich ein paar Minuten später gesehen, dass du darüber sogar ein Video hast.. My bad, sorry. Danke übrigens für deine Videos. Ist wirklich sehr inspirierend! Bin dabei auf Ebay nach einer günstigen Filmkamera zu schauen. Habe eine eos 550d und werde vermutlich bald meine erste komplett eigene Apsc von sony kaufen und dann eventuell noch wie gesagt Film versuchen. Deine Videos helfen mir wirklich mega auf meinem Weg :)

[@xik__]

for someone interested in both what photography and videography have to share; would the lumix gx80 produce good quality in terms of film? i've seen your works with pictures using it, and they're all so beautiful but i'm wondering if the same quality will transfer on tape :(

[@teocrawford]

It's ok, but not amazing. The stabilisation is insane actually haha. But the look is a bit over sharpened which I just hate, but some don't mind. I have some older videos on the channel like this one ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pV7XgJJnrdyUj5Isi=SR9D0m3WT77voW4U ) which are filmed on the GX80. You can see that you can really get a lot out of it, but I do notice a huge step up in video quality when compared to my Sony A7iii.

[@xik__]

@@teocrawford ooh i see ! are the introductory film clips in most of your videos, where you establish the setting and atmosphere, using the sony a7iii? and is it possible if you could suggest some videos of yours where you are using the sony a7iii for photography? thank you so much for this info !! :D

[@teocrawford]

@@xik__ Yeah I always use the Sony for video (except for the POV shots of course which I shoot with the GoPro)🙌🏼✨ Ohh it’s been a while but especially my foggy photography is mostly shot with the Sony, because in those conditions I prefer it, for example this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHaQkmVqo9qnfNEsi=VtdkpSwQSTAQUfyW

[@xik__]

@@teocrawford ooo :0 what would you say is the biggest difference in shooing photos with the sony vs with your lumix ? i recall in one of your videos you claimed the latter to be your favourite digital camera.

[@teocrawford]

@@xik__ It's mostly the size and the inspiration. I explained it in the video in great detail. I just use the Sony in the foggy night condition because it feels a bit safer (in terms of weather sealing etc) plus it just suits the slow style of shooting self portraits with a tripod. However handheld shooting is so much more fun with the Lumix.

[@nelsonahson]

this video prof that you dont have to buy expensive thing to make a nice setup.

Do you play any video games?

No, not really, why? :D
