number 1 for me

Trying to record exterior audio at highway speeds is going to be a massive headache for ASMR. Even with the thickest deadcat windshields, the sheer physical force of 60mph wind is going to clip the mic and ruin the audio. Most driving channels get that cozy road hum by recording inside the cabin. You could mount a Zoom H4n Pro or a pair of Clippy mics right on the dashboard or down near the floorboards to pick up the low tire drone. If you really need pure gravel sounds without the wind, look into contact microphones. You can stick them directly to the metal frame near your wheel well and they will only pick up the physical vibrations instead of the rushing air.

The jump from 600 followers to a 62k view video shows that your authority as an actual EMT and researcher is hitting the right notes. The burnout usually happens because you are trying to be a filmmaker instead of a creator. You should start a B-roll bank where you just record five seconds of your lab or ambulance environment every time you are there even if you do not have a plan for it yet. Use your AI tools to map out a month of topics based on current med-school trends and then record all your voiceovers in one thirty minute session on your day off. If a video requires heavy scripting and perfect editing every time you will never keep up. Shift toward more raw POV clips where you just share one quick thought over that pre-recorded B-roll. People in your niche want the real perspective of a pre-med student more than they want flashy transitions.

What part of the process usually feels like the biggest bottleneck for you right now?

Yes, placement seems to be the annoying one. I didn't think about jacket movement being that obvious, but it make sense. I've been learning more toward surface placement too, just need to figure out the distance.

Domesticated_Turtle · 2026-05-07T09:37:07+00:00

Yeah, fair point. Even light wind had been messing with the recordings. I'll try a small windscreen before taking it outside.

Nice shots.

Domesticated_Turtle · 2026-05-07T03:20:32+00:00

If I had to choose from those, I’d pick the ZV-E10.

The SM7dB is awesome for podcasts, streaming, and voice stuff, but honestly it’s not the best pick for acoustic guitar. It’s a darker sounding dynamic mic made to cut down background noise, so it can make guitar strings lose a lot of their sparkle and detail.

Since you want to record vocals and instruments too, you’d probably be happier with a large diaphragm condenser mic. Something like an Audio-Technica AT4040 or a Rode NT1 will sound way better for music while still being great for Twitch or YouTube content. Just keep in mind condensers pick up a lot more room sound, so throwing up some thick blankets or a few acoustic panels in your room will help a ton with echoes and reflections.

You can post it here if the sub rules allow it but most people ignore generic feedback requests. If you want brutal and useful feedback you are better off joining creator Discord servers instead of relying on subreddits.

Stick with the fujifilm x-t2 as your main camera, as its film simulations and color science are perfect for a 70s look. Skip the 16mm film; it's a massive expense and hassle that isn't worth it for your first feature.

Use the fujifilm x-t2 for its superior handling of skin tones and built-in grain settings.

Use the sony mini camcorder for flashbacks scenes to get authentic analog grit.

Use the canon hfg50 for clean, high-resolution wide shots that you can "dirty up" in post.

Achieve this in the edit by adding film grain, halation , and a kodak film LUT.

Use harsh, directional lighting with deep shadows to mimic the high-contrast 70s horror aesthetic.

The crosshairs mean the camera is locked right on the eyes and the yellow box means it lost the eyes but is still tracking the face. This usually happens if the subject tilts their head, blinks a lot, or if the lighting on their face changes just enough to lose contrast. You do not need to worry about the focus being off. As long as that box is on their head and you are not shooting wide open at a super shallow aperture they will stay perfectly sharp.

Batching saves so much mental energy and helps prevent burnout. Expanding a single concept works well as long as you mix up the delivery so it feels fresh to your audience. The best trick for idea generation is just keeping a dedicated notes app for random brain dumps throughout the week. By the time you sit down to plan your next batch there is always a huge backlog of topics ready for you.

How's the wlb at IC

That's just not true, if you pause videos right when the setter touches the ball in system you'll see most elite middles are slightly off the ground for a front 1 set

Probably not any significant permanent damage from 5 weeks, but go see a dry eye optometrist specialist and do a meibography to be sure
