The Making Of — How I Filmed My QNAP Video (Mic Modes, Tight Spaces and a Quote on the Wall)

A behind-the-scenes look at how I filmed the QNAP hard drive video — including the lighting setup in a tight hallway, an interesting lesson about lav mic modes (which explains why the audio on the main video wasn't great), OBS Studio running on the Dell laptop, and the DJI Osmo Nano for close-up shots. And there's a quote on the wall at the end that I think is worth a moment of your time. 🛠 What's covered in this video: • The equipment used — QNAP server, external drives, filming gear • Lighting setup — small rig arm clamped to the cabinet, Neewer RGB fill light at 4500K • Tripod in a tight space — the hallway didn't give much room, but it worked • Lav mic modes explained — noise cancelling, acoustic, and the one that explains the poor audio in the main video • OBS Studio on the Dell laptop — three scene configurations and how I run the screen recordings • DJI Osmo Nano on the magnetic lanyard — used for all the close-up shots of the server and drives • A quote on the wall that caught my eye at the end 📦 Equipment & apps used/mentioned (links coming soon): • Main Video Camera: Samsung S20 FE 5G Smartphone • Tripod: Nineigh Camera Phone Tripod 75" • Small Rig Arm: SMALLRIG 10 Inch Magic Arm with Super Clamp • Smartphone Mount: SMALLRIG Universal Metal Phone Support with Cold Shoe Mount • Microphone: CKOKC Wireless Lavalier Microphone Kit • Fill light: Neewer RGB62 Magnetic RGB Video Light • Action Camera: DJI Osmo Nano • AC Accessory: Magnetic Lanyard • Dell Latitude 7490 + Windows 11 Pro • OBS Studio for Windows Version 32.0 🌐 Links: • Main video — My QNAP Drive Was Stuck at 99% for 10 Hours:    • My QNAP Drive Was Stuck at 99% for 10 Hour...   • Website: https://www.workplayhavefun.com • Work Play Have Fun:    / @workplayhavefun   • GitHub: https://github.com/workplayhavefun/wo... 💬 Question: Have you ever had an unexpected moment while filming that made you stop and think?
