Hey Scott did U know there is a slight problem with your audio in this video? Did you? I bet you didn’t! And I bet nobody will be brave enough to tell you! New set looks dope, edits always the best and always (somehow) getting better. GOAT.
@@eXileLies pretty sure Jeremy (black magic craft) was being sarcastic. He was making a joke about the # of people who will tell Scott something is wrong with the audio.
This feels more like a paid course rather than a free RU-vid video! Thank you for sharing, especially the mounting process - now I have to go and try it myself
Just a heads up: there's a constant, low-freq hum to your dialogue. Tons of possible reasons why, but fixing it might be as simple as adding high-pass filter in your editing software! Good luck! Great video as always, Miniac!
Sounds like generic room noise, like air moving through large duct works in an office building. Sampling the room noise should allow him to isolate and dampen those frequencies. Or, he could determine their volume and use a noise gate to prevent his audio recorder/editing software from even detecting it based on its volume. It does sound like the room isn't fully sound treated yet, but I'm not a fanatic about that. Unfortunately, room noise can still exist even with treatment.
Maybe lower the sound effect for the numbering in future videos, for someone who is auditory its a bit jarring. Great production value overall. The hun I’m sure will get sorted. Thank you Scott. Great info and you are killing it.
This looks fantastic, and I'm really glad to see the makeup tutorials getting their shout! Something that I would like to see in the future is how you apply these techniques to other variations of character, like a vampire character, a person of color, an ORC! How would you apply makeup tutorial information to green or dark elf type skin? Thank you for sharing the videos, it's always the highlight of my week whenever I see you pop up on my feed.
The new sets are amazing, the new chilled tone is awesome and the this being more like a tutorial rather than a discussion was super inspiring. I have always felt like busts were WAY above me, but Im (scarily) keen to give a bust a go now. Thanks Scott!
Scott man, I just wanted to pop in and say thank you. Your channel has been an incredible asset for me on my painting journey. I am still very much amateur but I strive to challenge myself with a new technique every time I pick up the brush and I have your example to thank for that. My kid and I saw your minis on display at Source and we both had a fan boy moment about it. "Woah, Miniac is a real guy?!" - My kid. Keep up the kick ass work my man, you seem like a very esteemable man, we are all blessed for having people like you in the world, and even more blessed to have people like you who share their talent and passion the way you do.
Sadly I couldn't get through the video, as it sounds like someone is breathing into the microphone, whenever you're narrating :( But from the parts I did watch, amazing looking new studio!
Woah. Miniac production quality is always top-notch, but this one really shines! +1 Jon Bucks (TM) for picking a novel, interesting bust and +1 for the systematic explanation of your process, which makes it easy to understand and replicate. I am pumped to crush some busts. Thanks Scott!
What a beautiful new office, I like it, but you will have to soundproof your studio to fix the rumbling audio in the background, but great video nonetheless!
Love the new studio look. Video looks so great and really high production. Glad to see the chalk board back to help explain concepts and the animations were all incredibly helpful. So excited for all the videos to come. I’m inspired to go paint a bust now!
Sounds like some HVAC noise in the voiceover mix maybe? Might need to redo some levels/noise reduction to account for the new space. New set looks great and the tutorial itself is excellent, just the audio quality is noticeably a bit worse than in previous videos. I have a really noisy room that I can't do much about, but I completely fixed it using some EQ and the Clarity Vx plugin from Waves. Clarity is straight up magical, I have no doubt it'd knock that hum right out of the mix.
“How to BUST out an awesome paint job” Incredible quality and excellent descriptions. Definitely feels like a paid course, rather than a free RU-vid video. Thank you for sharing!
Your timing is impeccable, I've had a bust waiting to be painted for some weeks now since I wanted to give it a try, butt I was waiting for the kolinsky sable brushes to arrive, they arrived last week, now this video has been released, I have everything I need now!
SCOOOOOOT you wonderful specimen! Moved to the new space... insta upgrade to the video quality of idk 5times :) This is just TOP TOP TIER, it was top tier before. Amazing cam work, so much movement that creates interest! GOD LIKE!
Hey Scott - Pro tip from a carpenter to drill straight by hand. Firstly, drill guides are available on Amazon for a tenner. They're just machined blocks you run the drill bit through, very helpful. Second (free) option is to put a ring on your drill bit. Drill from the side rather than top down. The ring hangs on the drill bit and shows you if your wobble off centre. Looking down you can check for yaw, and the ring will indicate error in pitch. Another great video. I really wanna try getting into busts. Need to find a good supplier in the UK!
You can also 3D print plinth and bust with hole in correct diameter, which is much cheaper than buying physical models and with STL you can adjust size to your preference.
Awesome stuff, love the new studio, love the work in post. Also, i'll give criticism for the first time, and i feel bad about it, but i find the ventilation to be very loud. The constant humming in the back is a bit distracting. Sorry :(
Not a fan of complaining in comments, the video and the topic is fantastic, dont get me wrong! But there is a pretty audiable background low frequency noise in the vid, sounds like an airflow into the mic may be?
Full marks for all the effort, and it looks great, but... The style is getting in the way of the content at the start of this vid. Sorry bud! Less is more. I guess you know about the audio problem now, but yeah, these days my over-40 year old ears struggle even in a quiet room anyway. Anyway. Bases: I like nice textured hardwood, or stone, metal, whatever. But, just like clothing, it should complement the wearer not detract. Even zebrawood can be stained down with a dark walnut stain or similar, and it will still look good without demanding attention. The Arts and Crafts ethos is to be true to the materials. To me, making it look like a plastic block just cheapens it and doesn't do justice to the artist's hard work. But that's art, we all have our tastes and choices!
Loved the new syle of video to go with the new set really felt like a new era for the channel! As for Plents if it's not pretty why use it instead of a TT base? Also I don't like busts that end abroptly I prefore ones that round off the whole thing... Oh and some busts do display on their own. Which Etsy is a great place to find busts they are just 3d printed but it nor mally does not matter still great.
Love the content, although the background noise on the voice channel is kinda irritating. Hope you can fix it without much effort. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great video! I got one of the Squidmar busts from the Kickstarter when I first started painting. I just recently put it on the plinth to get started. I also just got my first Lucas Pina bust. This video was perfect timing
Thank you for sheriff your knowledge on this subject. I'm starting to paint miniatures, and this video has been very helpful. Have been building and airbrushing model kits (cars, military, and Gundam) for 30 years. Wanted to make a change of gears and do something different. Miniature painting has been a thing that I wanted to do for quite some time. Now, this video will give me a better idea of how to do this. Thanks again!!!!!
I'm glad I watched the GW NDA video first, because now I know that you really don't need them to make great videos. Looking forward to further videos by you!
Hey Scott, just wanted to say as a professional shooter/editor I’ve always appreciated your production value but this is next level. Really nice set, great shots, great pacing in your edit, and just great attention to detail overall!
I know I'm incredibly late to finding this, but I actually use a KD mini on a smaller base for a d&d game. I'm playing an Elle Woods-inspired bard in Ravenloft and found the KD bard mini covered in pastels and glitters really sold how out of place the character is in comparison to the setting. Also I like boobs though so I could be biased
Id love more stuff like this, i got a bunch of 75mm scale minis thinking it would help me improve my painting working on something with larger volumes...so far they just all look crap xD
Hey scott, the pegasao minatures link looks like it got hijacked by some spammy advertising company. I've been wanting to get into painting busts, I'll take a look at these shops. Thanks!
great video, looking to see how you were able to stack your paints on your shelves. been looking to update my studio with similar shelving to spread out my paints. Teach me master jedi.
I definitely like the new feel of this video. Showing the glazing icon on the screen and a counter are amazing. I would like to see you remaster all your old “how to paint (method)” in this style.
There is a very noticeable rumble in the background of the voice track of the video that is only audible when Scott talks. Not very pleasant. Hope there is something that van be done to get rid of that on the production or mixdown end.
It goes without saying the video was highly informative and helpful, but you keep killing it with the editing, presentation, and style. This was well worth the wait, great work Scott!
i wish i knew enough about color theory to pull this off, my brain just cant wrap the concept of using these wild colors to come up with tan skin color. the talent is insane
