Behind the cameras: A filming day with Machine Man (Patreon)

Hello my Shiny Patrons.

I filmed this short video to show you a bit of what my filming days look like. The filming process changes depending on the shoe shiner and the city. However, I try to have a structure for it.

For this video, I talked with Machine Man days before visiting him to make some videos. He often has a tight schedule so it's important to be on time. We agreed on a day and time to make sure he had the time to film many videos. As I was changing shoes to film another video, customers came so I had to wait for my turn. Machine Man works so hard and it's so popular in the area.

I often film the intro, the shoe shine process, the outro and some shots of the surrounding area, in this order. However, this time, I had to film the intro for all the videos first, then the shoe shine process. While I was waiting for my turn to get my shoes shined, I filmed the shots of the surrounding area and at the end all the outros.

Filming many videos in a row can be exhausting for my filming and production crew (meaning me). I often forget to drink water and finish the day with dry lips. Don't do this, please remember to stay hydrated.

In future posts, I'll be sharing more info about the filming process, please let me know what you think about this kind of content and if you have any questions.

Thank you so much :)
