Don't forget to check out the podcast airing it's first TWO episodes on September 23rd here: ruclips.net/user/trappedunderplastic
This interests me! There are some really great nuggets in here- Thanks for this dank video Scott! :-)
PS I'm pumped for Trapped Under Plastic, subscribed & ready :-)
Interesting to see your setup! I have the camera right in front of my face, peering over the top of it. I use a 24mm lens to get very close focus, and no monitor. I just have to remember to never, ever move my left hand, haha.
I. Just. Love. Your. Videos. Interesting, fun, and inspiring. PS. More bloopers
Always plan your story with a cat on your desk: Check!
Scottastic! Man, I appreciate videos like this. For the past 3 years, I've been wingin' it. Never used a script, and never even used an outline until just recently. The most cumbersome part of this whole RUclips thing for me was when I was essentially shooting a bunch of b-roll, then piecing it all together in the edit to give it some kind of flow. Bigtime chore.
Lately I've gone with the idea of following a narrative outline, and shooting specifically for that. I also find that it helps to take the shots of the day (my filming usually drags on through the week) and edit those, while they're fresh in my mind, since I don't really make shot logs/notes.
I really like your approach to voiceover. I've been hesitant to change too much about my show, because people seem to really like the spontaneity of it. But I think you've got it down! You're exceptional at this stuff.
The other thing you've inspired me to do is to go on ahead and rig up a monitor, instead of relying on my camera's little LCD and focus peaking. :)
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin oh my goodness, TheCrafsman!! This is like a celebrity sighting for me, sir, your videos are like Bob Ross for my soul. Keep on SteadyCraftin!
TheCrafsMan! It's good to see you here, man. I'm confident whatever you come up with is going to make your viewers, myself included, very happy. Get that monitor in!!!
Trapped under plastic is a fantastic name. I'm looking forward to it.
These are great tips. Audio differences between talking-head and b-roll bits is a huge pet peeve of mine, too.
Videos always have a Professional feel for a 1 man show. Research, plan, script, setup, execute, edit, proof check. Your passion definitely shows and inspires others. Keep up the good work
I love Miniac: advice on painting models, and advice for life. Nothing's is ever going to replace who you are as a person!
Love your behind the scenes stuff, so many painters just live stream. I really appreciate the effort it takes to edit and polish a video and I think you and Sorastro have some the best content for painters on RUclips
Agreed. Sorastro is like learning from your dad and Miniac is like learning from your eccentric uncle, with their forces combined I've learned tons.
I don't expect you to see this but in case you do; Thanks. Towards the end of lockdown I started content creation and even though I saw this video when it originally came out, I didn't think to re watch it until now. I spent so long trying to be just like everyone else that I didn't realize my best video came from when I forgot to act and was just myself...You inspired me a lot back on Back Yard Effects and to think all these years later your still teaching me new tricks. Thanks for always being true to yourself when your on camera.
Scott, all this is indeed pro level production advice for any kind of vlog or documentary video production. Commentary writing and sequencing is the hardest part of the game and you gave many tips on how to build them. Thanks for being so generous and shining a light on this topic. Rest assured I'm definitely going to PAINT MORE MINIIIES!!!
Jesus TF Christ! Your videos have everything I could have ever hoped for; Physics, black metal, Star Trek TOS, Photography, and something about miniatures. Thank you for being on point and not shallow like the majority of other RUclips personalities!
Wow, that seems like a lot of work. Your commitment to your craft is evident in the constant evolution and improvement of your finished product. I appreciate the end result. Keep it up!
As someone looking at getting all dirty in the world that is mini painting on youtube this has been quite possibly the most complete how to I have seen, I will have to watch this another 100 times or so just be sure though.... :P
Dude. Super interesting to see your process.
Wow. I never saw this video until today. This video is fantastic. Such great insight. Well done man and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this video! I'm at the moment toying with the idea of making some YT-Painting Vids as well and this gives me some very good pointers!
Thanks for the tips, this and your other setup video helped me alot!
Hi Miniac! Just stumbled across this video - thank you very much. Really strong content all the way through but wow, those last few lines on it being about YOU rather than all the tech gear is pure gold. Thank you very much for this insight. 🙏🏼🙇🏻♂️
Great advice! Been wanting to make a RUclips Channel centered around crafting Miniatures using 3D sculpting software and talking about the process, but wasn't really sure how to go about it. This definitely cleared a few things up!
All of this pays off. I watch a LOT of Tubers, and your production is one of the best. Easily.
I’m so inspired by this video. I have a fledgling RUclips channel. I just hit my 1st hundred subscribers. I struggle with feeling washed out by a negative comment. A video can do amazing and the community can love it and one negative can derail your whole opinion of your work. I hoped to pick up a tip or two from this video, but you really spoke to me when you said just to be yourself and that will gain you your most loyal followers. Thank you, that really helps.
One other thing about showing your face, is that it helps your audience connect with you a little better. There are some content creators who I never watched regularly until they started showing their faces. :)
Man, I really needed to hear this. I think I need to make a few changes to my content. This was a real eye opener. Thank you so much for being you.
I am not into miniatures at all (sorry) but this is one of the best (if not the best) video tutorials on youtube! Thank you very much!
Hey man this was a great video, the part you said you don’t have a teleprompter, if you got a tablet/iPad you can get an enclosure with a mirror to set it up as a teleprompter to a stand. Your vids have helped me a lot get into mini painting and my skills have improved thanks to you. Hope your doing well! @Miniac
Yeah, really cool process
Like a cup of tea... who knew the effort to make it "near perfect"... great work as ever !!
I've come back to this video time and time again. Very, very grateful for the transparency of your process and validated af with how messy me and my ADHD are. You rule, Scott. ❤
Hey Scott, I have no desire to ever make videos..so far, but really appreciate your process and what you put in to them. Great job...tks
Wow, Scott. This is a very helpful video. Thanks loads dude 👍
This video was incredibly helpful, I will definitely be adopting some of these techniques
Great video. The amount of work you put into each video and the amount you've invested in equipment is certainly reflected in the quality of your videos. I'm really glad you shared your camera set up. I've been looking for a new mount to get better shots and never even thought about using a mic arm! Very clever
This is SUPER handy. Thanks man.
This video!! Yesss!! I've been looking for something exactly like this!! My God their is so much morenthat goes into this then I thought. Maybe I don't wanna do this as much as I thought haha. 😂❤
It's great to see someone else's process! You definitely have better equipment than I'm using but the struggle of capturing small details is very real.
Thank you so much for making this video, it's really helpful. I recently started my channel and it's great to see behind the scenes on how different RUclipsrs go about with production.
I'd like to see a break down of how you came up with your intro and what went into that. A lot of popular youtubers have these amazing custom intros with slick animations and music. What goes into producing that. did you do it yourself? Did you outsource it to someone? Etc.
Tx. Maniac!!
Thank you! This information is exactly what I have been looking for over the last several weeks.
I don’t paint miniatures but this still applies to what I want to record.
funny that I started painting minis because I found your channel, now that I'm cosidering making videos, I also find that info in your channel
Rule 1 don't buy models from a hermit according to uncle atom. Rule 2 making RUclips videos is expensive and a lot of work. Looking forward to the podcast. I listen to them while hobbying
This has been so helpful and will change the way I paint. Thank you Scott.
Great stuff, thanks for all the tips!
Hey Miniac, interested to see an update on this (particularly since your latest studio move) - what cameras you use, etc. ❤
What is that song in your intro. Like I can tell it has a badass vibe and I wanna experience it all. I've been binge watching your videos the past 3 hours and by the gods of Olympus it's one of my favorite parts.
A lot of youtube miniature hobbyists are making those "how are my videos made" videos. I think those videos are interesting and the common thing is that all of them are passionate about the act of video production itself.
I teach people to paint in my city and some have suggested tat I make painting videos...but I dread the video editing part and all the light/camera/audio stuff. My answer for them is: if you are willing to film me and then edit the footage, I'll gladly be your "model" :) I am born to be in front of the camera, hehe :)
Can I be more narcissistic than you Scott? ;)
not possible
Great stuff.
But regarding that Dog barking etc. It might be a timesaver to look into Izotope's RX7 - it's on sale quite frequently at either Pluginboutique or Time+Space. It's a music production program that lets you correct all kinds of things including background noise (clipping etc). You inspired me to get into miniature painting... maybe I can inspire you into sound production ;-)
I purposfully didn't put links in there as I don't want you to think I'm flogging you software. Just type it into Google search and you will find it easily enough. Maybe you can even do what you need with the very cheap 'Elements' version of the software
Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
This video is meta af
Also: As someone who works as a producer in LA doing this kind of content. Yeah. This is it. Pretty darn close to how Hollywood would do this kind of shoulder content piece. You've got a great process.
My mini painting has slowed down recently (my Zombiecide Black Plague set is giving me the willies...), but I always look forward to your videos Scott. Thanks for making them, and thanks for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and advice. Rock on!
Really enjoy your vids already but this one is GREAT! Thanks for the behind the scenes and great real world tips like why you do the monologues and why they help.
Just what I was looking for, thanks
your workspace is the dream!!
Great video!!! Thank you very much!👍👍👍
Mad respect for what you put into your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Love it Scott. Really interesting to see behind the curtain, a lot of good advice. I think youre pretty much the epitome of "great youtuber". You got it all bro, including that drive to keep making your content better. I cant wait to see what the future holds for you, I hope to use your tips to their fullest and they always bring me a little closer to my goals, so thank you! Keep it up, and PAINT MORE MINIS!
thank you for this video! super useful
You are great man!
A great video! Thanks.
This was a super cool video, no wonder your videos are so well done. Since I've gotten interested in minis you've been my go to, you're such an inspiration, Keep it up bud!
Thanks for creating this I’ve been working my way through your channel from your first video, you’ve inspired me to want to make my own channel, daunting task but I’d like to try it thank you for that
Great and informative video as always. I'm currently in the 4k camera market...always good to see others suggestions/end result for comparison. Side note, would love to hear your thoughts/see a video on paint mixing...as in what base mediums/brands you suggest for powder pigments (i.e. using chameleon pigments), using extenders, thinners, texturizers, etc. Thanks for such great videos!
Great video dude, I love seeing the actual setup work and time and effort! Also you’re the only other person I’ve seen use that Octava mic! One day I hope you make a video talking about either how to pace yourself as a content creator or how to ensure you take vacations/breaks in order to maintain not only release schedule but also mental health. Cheers, man!
I don't know if you've done a video on it before but I would love to know your process on commissions and maybe how to start commission painting if you wanted to go into that line of work? Keep up the great work.

Damn, 120K subs! I remember when you had maybe 20k! Great seeing this channel expand mate!
Love your videos you have helped me improve my mini painting abilities keep doing what your doing
This video was amazing! As a player, a painter and a game store business owner I have been working on my own Videography as a side hobby. So recently I have been watching a lot of video's on that but those are from professional point of views. Listening to you explain how you do your own Videography from a "personal view" rather then a business view was so much better then listening to some one rattle off brand name mics and cameras, and you have to buy this stand and this light etc etc etc. Then to have you follow up and give the greatest tip that has nothing to do with equipment and that is just be your self as if your around your friends, that has always scared me cause the instant you do something out there the trolls jump you and eat you alive this is the internet. On the other side of that coin thow you get the super fans. Sorry man din't mean to go into a evangelical your the best rant, Ill let you get back to painting :p thanks again and keep up the great work, Cant wait to listen to that podcast!
This is great man, I’m trying to get into the RUclipsverse and I remembered you had this video so I came to check it out. Perfect outline dude! Hopefully I can followthrough and get it going ✊
Great video ! Ever the inspiration, thank u !
The pain you have to go through just to have your audience get a better viewing experience. Great video.
Now i have watched that video, i swear i'll press that like button on your videos. So much work.
Bet you got some inception feeling shooting this video. "Now I film the monologue about filming monologues"
Very very good video, informativ, in my opinion professional and we get a close look how many work it is inside every video. Perfect kontent
This was super cool to watch, I dig your vids.
Just stumbled upon this video again and can't help but wonder if the 2021 Scott still goes through the same motions to make a video.
Love this kind of stuff! I'll look into the Patreon. Excellent video. I'd love to see more stuff like this!
Hey Miniac, thanks for always making awesome content! I was wondering when filming painting videos (non streaming) do you record onto the camera's sd card or capture footage directly into your computer via premier or something? Just thinking shooting for hours or painting would chew through SD cards? Thanks again!
You’re doing great videos......keep up the awesomness
Cool seeing your process and set up. Have you tried using a polarizing filter on your camera to cut the reflections on the picture frames?
I think at one point I did, but I should try again.
Excellent video! Super informative!
I really appreciated seeing your process, no matter how fluid it is, it really gave a better idea of how to go about it. I aspire to be a content creator, someday... :)
I feel like you'd be able to make just about any kind of RUclips channel work, not just a mini painting one.
lmao at least half of those hater comments are just people being funny who probably like you. If people feel like they know you and you have a good sense of humor they will feel like they can meme on you. Don't take it seriously or personal, Scott.
I noticed that different cams support different file types. What video file types are good to use and which ones should be avoided?
Also, where do you buy the plastic sheets for your pain tests?
WHY DID YOU POINT OUT THE LIGHT?!?! That reflection is now impossible to ignore. Lol
Thanks for the tips Scott.
Interesting! Those hater comments are entertainment within themselves. A view is a view. They can't take that back.
Really good video!
My hat just arrived in the mail.
Thank you 🤘🏻☺️
This was helpful, thanks. I know I'm just a beginner at making videos but I do want to get better.
Hey Miniac! Could you paint a Harry Potter knight Model Mini? (what else you prefer)
Amazing video however WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DEATH KORPS BUST!!!
Off topic, what's your favourite paint colour and also most used one?
great as always!
Hey Scott, are you gonna do that Renegade Knight as a video or was it just an example?
Ignore the haters, 7 Miniature Painting Tips literally changed my life as an artist. PAINT MORE MINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!
What a fantastically helpful video for us hobby content creators. I still struggle with filming painting, and having consistent quality audio for all segments.
I'm a little surprised you have to set up your monologue area every time! As a full time RUclipsr, do you think you'll find a way to have an area set up more permanently to save time?
The problem is that I use the same light/cameras for that setup, so those things need to get repositioned. All the other bits get jostled for various reasons, either I recorded a podcast with jon and moved stuff around for that, or I had friends over in the basement, etc.
Love the video. And how you followed your own process durring your video about the process. Lol
Very good concept Mate .
You taught me a lot .
Thank's
