    🎬 Main Video Equipment
    ►Fujifilm Xt4 w/18-55mm Lens - amzn.to/3qX1ZIp
    ►Tiffen black pro mist 1/4 58mm - amzn.to/3xE6N9s
    ►Atomos Shinobi 5-inch HDMI 4K Monitor amzn.to/3SguDji
    ►SmallRig X-T4 Cage Kit for Fujifilm X-T4 - amzn.to/3BvAFpq
    ►SmallRig Swivel and Tilt Monitor Mount - amzn.to/3hU95fI
    ►SmallRig Mini Follow Focus - amzn.to/3YTUHFa
    ►SmallRig Camera Base Plate with Rod Rail Clamp - amzn.to/3I6ZTzw
    ►SmallRig 15mm Carbon Fiber Rods - amzn.to/3jyG1en
    🎤 Audio gear for podcasts and RUclips Videos we use or recommend
    For photo walks
    ►Rode Wireless GO II With 2x Rode Lavalier amzn.to/3QV0k0l
    And in the studio we use
    ►Rode VideoMic GO II amzn.to/3Skp837
    For podcasting I recommend using a dynamic microphone as it will reject a lot of room sound and background noise. The most important part is to make sure you are as close as you can comfortably be. Using a pop filter can help reduce sibilance and plosives as well.
    We just got a new dedicated audio recorder that is a much better option than using the camera's audio input - TASCAM 4-Channel Portable Audio Recorder - amzn.to/3FWPZxy
    ►Rode PodMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone - amzn.to/3GmmlmG
    ►Samson Technologies Q2U amzn.to/3BzqP63
    ►Shure SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone amzn.to/3BAmFL4
    Unless you have a really high quality preamp a level booster will give you a much cleaner sound
    ►Cloudlifter CL-1 Microphone Activator amzn.to/3DEuOkk
    ►Triton Audio FetHead amzn.to/3duCZFb
    ►Rode PSA1 Mic Arm amzn.to/3Uc3jno
    Some Pop filter options - amzn.to/3Sp7KtU

    I like the way you said it: "Living/dreaming a dream and the only obstacle is YOU".... Many interpretations can be done from it.
    Building "yourself or a dream"... Or you become "A time of your dreaming self" to mold yourself from a part of that dream...
    "Project Management": Built from the understanding of Goals and Challenges; Put days/weeks/months/years to each your goals (towards the specific goal), understand/establish challenges (adress the necessary/consuming time/budget for it); give a little zest/recompense to specific level of your endeavors.... That is the theory.... Enjoy the practice... The dream isn't/shouldn't be at the end but all along the journey. And if the end isn't exactly what you hoped for, it became better, something you learned to satisfy from, OR a part of another challenge that lead to another better project...
    Keep up, you're talented!😊

    I've always used a similar mantra, don't focus on the destination of where you want your life to be, enjoy the journey, live the experience and gain valuable knowledge and skills that will help you on your way through life.
    You will get there in the end if you are dwtermined enough and put in the work on the way.

    I love that you have articulated the complex mess that we create through the narrative of anothers' "big break".
    We craft these dream stories from seeing others being chosen, and adopt their story, hoping somebody will pick us up and put us where we are "meant" to be. Then we wake up one day to wonder why they haven't. Some people face a lot in that moment - where we might deny that we ever even thought this way and are happy how we are....others wake and awaken others, still.
    Great video!

    • @LucyLumen
      @LucyLumen  Год назад +2

      Wow thank you! You have put it all much more beautifully than I did. I totally agree and for so long I was living in this state just waiting for the right person to discover me…things starting happening when I took agency over my dreams though and I started to create and put myself out there more. I hope others feel inspired to do so the same! Thanks for watching. Xx

      Agency, absolutely, yes@@LucyLumen!
      "Agency" is the one word I believe needs to be endowed to children.
      I'd always mistakenly thought the word meant some sort of company or government entity. It was only recently that I realised the mistake, re-learned the definition and started to apply it to my own life. Great that you made a video about it.
      Love the videos you are producing, you're speaking some truth from an authentic place. Please keep being you and sharing your world. Cheers!
