Behind the Scenes #29

What up, mini family?!
Lot's stuff going on this past week, so let's dive right in. As I said in the last post, Jon came over this past Saturday to shoot some stuff, and we got a lot done! 

We shot 3 episodes of the podcast and 2 of the episodes are using questions from you guys! At the time of writing this post, episode 2 and 3 are fully done being edited. I'm excited to see if you guys like it. While Jon was here, we also worked on the second iteration of Drunk Minipainting, hawaiin edition! 

This was an opportunity for me to test some new gear that we'll be using for Kill Your Friends, namely, the HDMI multiviewer. With the TV in front of us, we were able to pipe both camera feeds to it and see it simultaneously (not that it mattered because the last thing we were thinking about was focus and framing). We also learned some things from shooting the podcast and the drunk mini painting, namely everything should be on AC power. Batteries are too much of a hassle to worry about. So, I'll be purchasing some AC adapters for my panasonic cameras so we don't have to worry about them dying during a crucial recording. I got some goodies this week for Kill Your friends and Adepticon.

This is the multi-viewer that helps us shoot with multiple cameras and see all their feeds at the same time.

I picked up this microphone to make capturing some audio at Adepticon a lot easier. I found a different one that I like more, so I may return this one and get a new one. 

I got some PHAT SD cards for long recording sessions. These puppies can record up to 3hrs of 4k footage for my cameras. I also worked more on my crystal brush entry!

I painted the white trim, weathered it, and then oil washed it. Next, I need to take a q-tip with mineral spirits to it to clean it up. I also redid the witch's hair for a 3rd time!

I'm so glad I redid the hair. It looks a lot better and it's amping me up to paint the mini! Also, Todd, my letter press printing patron, started to print me up some business cards! 

I'm super excited to see them finished! Last thing, I may end up skipping a video on one of these Fridays for the sake of finishing my Crystal Brush entry on time. I'm not sure if I have to do it, but we'll see how it shakes out. Thank you all for supporting what I do. I endlessly appreciate it <3
PAINT MORE MINIS!
