BTS #001 (Patreon)

After a couple days of battling with makeshift tripods (including the model "emptied bookshelf" by "I don't want to buy stuff I'm only going to have to ship"), wind shields that kept harassing my left ear microphone, and microphone angles that convinced me that my perception of sound is WRONG, I finally managed to record a decent enough scalp massage for an upcoming Midnight Spa video. After successfully editing out the repeated noise of one of my neighbors slamming their front door for no apparent reason the entire afternoon following but 5 minutes of quiet (they're still doing it!) and the return of the abomination my other neighbors call a toddler from presumably the playground, what's left is a low, intensely tingly brain massage that I'm happy to upload. It has the Ally seal of approval for relaxing binaural tingles. 

Now if only I could do the same for the back massage... I put my otherwise useless (except for holding together different colored lamps under my camera lens... lol) gorilla pod to good use for a change and that way managed to fix the obnoxious sound of the foam wind shield rubbing against the surface beneath it. Not that it's a bad sound - it just distracts from the oily/lotiony massage sounds I want to emphasize. If you're wondering how in the world I manage to make these sound half realistic... Let's just say, my thighs have never been this shiny. Sorry if I ruined the magic for you now. Do tell me if I'm oversharing... 

Said spa video may come out later than another project I've been meaning to do. Shhhh, it's a surprise. I have about 5 hours to get in costume... If you think it takes less than that to get in costume and set up a video, you are mistaken. But I still want to tickle your curiosity a little bit so I'm just going to list a few props I'm going to require: hot spiced cranberry punch, pocket knife, a packet of bacon, my only remaining flannel shirt (You may remember I just hate them for no reason now? Well finally it's useful for something...), paper, flashlight, a severed arm stuffed inside a stocking, something heavy. 

Post your guesses in the comments! Out of those that guessed right before the video comes out, I will randomly pick a winner who will get a free photo set of their choice from my etsy store. 

Until then, enjoy the wintery view on downtown Regensburg at sunset.
