I know there hasn't been the behind-the-scenes recently but I woke up today with an idea that we should do something about audio well I've been playing around with the idea of explaining what we use for audio and apologies for me using the built-in microphone on the sony rx100 I really want to share my thinking my thought process behind making this video that you're about to watch v link in the description it's about audio full video and why it's important I'm setting up my first shot it's going to be in this little hallway here because what I'm trying to do is do tell you guys a story of like what happens when like I wake up maybe go in the kitchen have coffee and whatever all this through audio so the you you'll be seeing the visuals but you will not be seeing me as a subject of interacting with anything in the kitchen or anywhere in the household and the idea is to is to tell you what I'm doing through audio ok so what I need to do is highlight the door frame and it just happens that well I have one the softbox is firing on left side of the frame the other edge the other right side of the door can gets lost in the light and I want to separate that because I want the viewer to know that we are coming through a doorway my trusty light there we go that's it on to the next shot with the floor the idea where the floor here is that I want to capture the pattern and then in the actual video you'll hear me walking across but obviously you won't see me walking across and I do want to add the motion to the scene that's why I'm using the slider because I want to indicate that yes there is something happening aside from just static visuals you'll be able to hear what's happening and my direction of the slide indicates where the subject is going next otherwise you'll be kind of confused so I hope that translates really well the floor does squeak a little bit so when I do record audio and you will see that it just a little bit i'll be able to i'll put a microphone exactly in this spot so that the microphone is recording from the position of the camera so that once you're looking at the footage you have also the correct audio representation of space and other the same thing for all the other shots so for this sequence i brought a light into my kitchen because i want to add extra light onto the coffee machine for this one we're gonna have another slide shop coming into the coffee machine and then all you'll be hearing is me like pressing the button bring the pot back in playing coffee and on whatever so I'm i was actually keeping the frame or the coffee mug I don't focus pretty much for the entire time until the end partially because I want to hide any little crumbs or little spots of coffee on the machine itself because that that's gonna look dirty and also because hopefully that will drive the storytelling aspect through audio much better so for this next shot I want to have the coffee mug on this coffee table to represent that you know when I wake up I go to the kitchen make myself a coffee and have the coffee outside of the office because the office entrance will be a whole new little sequence in the opening sequence for this video so I want to separate the two and hopefully it all works out so this next shot took a little longer to set up I have one main key light highlighting subject which is our cup and then I have one light on this side to give the cup a little extra things on the sides there I think it turned out really good now I just have to add drinking coffee sounds so that you guys can tell what try to portray here but I think it looks really nice especially with the all the lighting know if you're nice good texture on the couch especially with the color and good texture on the coffee table as well so I just finished filming all the visuals inside the office with window opening some stuff with the desk and stuff now it's time to record all these this sounds because using the h5 going to be placing it on top of the camera so I can actually angle the tripod and the camera in exact position where the slide happens so I can capture the most accurate audio representation so let's do it ready to record I'll keep the camera off so that there is no additional noise is coming from the system just everything that's been recorded through the microphone alright so it is seven hours later I finally finished the Edit it's rendering right now and check out how quiet the system is while it's rendering pretty quiet right but I hope you guys enjoyed this behind the scenes episodes on my development of thinking of what I wanted to create waking up in the morning having an idea and developing it into something that I think you guys were the joy and that I am really proud of but make sure to subscribe for more behind the scenes and we'll see you in the next video or should I say we will hear you in the next audio once you watch this video you'll get it
