WHAT TO EXPECT |
We chose Maono AU-A425 Plus microphone because frankly it was in our budget. We looked at several, but this seemed to fit the bill the best. We ordered this microphone on July 19 (2020) and on July 21 were so disappointed when the wrong box showed up. Fortunately, the correct one showed up on July 23 (2020) and we were able to start putting together some videos. We paid $69.99 for it, but there was a broken small tripod. The seller made it right by offering us two choices. We could either take a partial refund or they would send us a new tripod. We chose the partial refund and chose another small refund to replace the broken one. Fortunately, the small tripod we found was actually less than the refund so we saved a bit of money in the end. It was a little weird to put together for someone that has NO idea what they were doing. You can see a bit of that struggle in the video. However once it was put together, it was very much a plug in the USB into your computer and it automatically recognized it. There was very little to do prior to having to start recording. BEHIND THE SCENES | On July 21st during the "wrong box" portion of the video, Mrs. Like hadn't been to the salon since January 29th. She originally had an appointment on the very day the salons closed due to COVID 19 and gave her slot to someone else. Finally she was able to be seen on July 23rd which happened to be the day the new microphone arrived. Some scenes are recorded before the hair cut, but most are after the hair cut. TECHNICAL BEHIND THE SCENES| We wanted to use the microphone for a lot of videos before putting it on our channel. We pulled the footage from our files and started to edit this video on October 6th and finished it on October 9th. There was a basic edit done with all of the footage on the 6th. We did nothing on the 7th with the video at all. Open Shot seemed very slow on the 8th so the decision was made to export the video not completed and then put the final touches on the 9th. The reason it was so slow was there were extra files at give or take minute 25 so the program thought we were working on a 25 minute video and not a 14 minute video. In the video, we left out the scene where we spoke into the microphone and just had the play back. It felt redundant to have both when clearly the playback could be heard. The main two songs used in this video are Take Your Time by Dan Lebowitz & Magical Dirt by Sir Cubworth through YouTube's Audio Library. We briefly used Play Song by Jonh Deley and the 41 Players
