Check out this fancy desk clamp camera arm! No more hugging a tripod and accidentally kicking it out of place constantly for me! Unless I feel like it!I wanted to test out my new setup so I filmed some playing with leftover Halloween candy. I'll edit the footage tomorrow and see how it comes out.I put some time into sprucing up the awful blank blue wall into the HYPERBOLIC WALL! It is much better now!What I really need are proper studio lights. They're not in the budget yet, but I'm looking into setting up an Amazon wish list.Still on track to hopefully get Calculus part 3 done in a week or so.

I love the multitude of "!" in this post!! :D

I am left wondering about "hugging and kicking a tripod" moods. Also your mic. Your voice recordings are great. Is that a lavalier? A boom? I went crazy padding my space to lose the echo even with a decent lavalier.

I've gotta second the curiosity regarding the desk mount. What brand/model is it?

Ruh Roh, Where is calculus part 1 and 2 ?? I've been too busy watching Mr. or Mrs. Snail running out of things to climb. I'm bummed for the little thing. I hope you successfully released him back into the wild.

Love the new wall. When I was young I couldn't wait until Apple II had 3d graphic software so I could make my own hyperbolic paraboloid.

It had more... I edited some out, if you can believe it!

I use a Rode NT1-A at the moment. Hope to upgrade someday :D I used to have a great recording room with acoustic padding at my old office. In a pinch, I recommend recording in a car!

The Hunter-Cam Cradle Mini! Now I gotta check out what is the non-mini version...

And yes, I did! There's two snails in that video, both that I found with damaged shells. After they finished repairing them, I released them. Though technically they're an invasive species here so releasing them is questionably ethical...

Only fitting for a post on "Hyperbole"!

Awesome setup! (and even awesomer decorations) RE: lighting, I've messed around a bit with DIY options before and found that a good cheap option is to use fluorescent light bulbs + homemade diffusion screens (parchment paper, plastic trash bags, etc). Which might be an option in the meantime but hopefully you get enough funding so that it won't be a problem :)
