Hello everybody.
Well, first week of full filming done. Sort of. Kind of.
Hello everybodey.ewed Mishima San from Lilii Kaona. He's a brilliant producer, and he really opened up everything about what he does and what it's like to produce an idol group. He then invited me to a Lilii Kaona MV shoot next week, and also I will be interviewing the girls in Lilii Kaona next week and filming their dance practice. How cool is that?
Immediately after interviewing Mishima san all day, I ran off to Shibuya to meet with Miku and Kajiwara from Nanomoral. I love these two.... they are good people. The best people. And Miku's million dollar smile for miles is guaranteeed to make you forget everything in the whole world when you see her perform live. I thought I would share a picture of her, standing outside of the interview space I rented, on an outer walkway balcony, just as the sun was fully going down into the chalky pastel blue night sky hanging over Shibuya.
My issues are still with focusing. I don't use auto-focus, so it takes some time to really nail focus and even then, I feel I can do ten times a better job. The problem is movement... my subjects keep going in and out of the focus area, so I keep having to re-adjust... this is something I need to fix and fast. But overall, I would say I kept things okay. It just takes time to focus and knowing your aperture settings and overall exposure and what you need to do to keep focus the whole time you are shooting. I'm definitely not there yet lol.
Oh, and I filmed some of Hanako San's live concert last night and other shenanigans, including her doing a destroy cheki on some unlucky foreign fan. It was pure Hanako evil gold, as you could call it.
Tomorrow I have A Necroma live. Saturday too. Then another really solid week of filming!
Can all of you do me a favor? This is getting expensive. Especially because I might be getting another two idol groups to be part of the documentary who I ran into the other day and who wants to be in the documentary. It's about 200 dollars per interview for me... so... yeah... if you can help me with at least the next four interviews, that would be incredible. If not, don't sweat it. Keep enjoying my work I'm doing and posting here to discuss. Thanks so much for your patreonage too. I hope you enjoy!
