Hi everyone, we contemplated scrapping this vlog due to the bad audio arising from circumstances during filming but decided against it as we really wanted to share this experience with you guys & revisiting Tomita in the future likely wouldn't improve the filming circumstances. Hence do watch this video with subtitles as during the visit the speech is barely audible😂. Enjoy the video!😉
In the spirit of keeping us on our toes & improving here's how we felt about this video from a technical perspective:-
It's bad…probably the worst video in recent memory, mainly due to really bad audio. When we were filming Wei Loon couldn't talk with a normal volume as the moment he speaks all the other customers stared at him. He ended up whispering which causes the ridiculously bad, barely audible audio with lots of distortion. We tried to salvage the audio & this is the best we could come up with at the moment.
As the space is non existent due to the entire counter space being taken up by food we also couldn't film close ups effectively, causing a lack of footages/reuse of footages which is undesirable. Wei Loon also couldn't push the camera back far enough despite using a 16mm wide angle lens, hence his giant face every single time he had to take a bite 🙁
Tomita also seats everyone by batch so it means you get about 30-40 minutes to eat all the food and leave because they'll need to serve the next batch. This means Wei Loon had to film all the shots himself to make the time & certain shots were out of focus. The dim lighting with a really bright background also causes the camera to struggle with focus at certain angles, hence the out of focus facial shots.
We also screwed up with white balance as we left camera on auto white balance. This causes certain footages to be extremely off colour which we tried to salvage in post. We did a semi decent job but it's rather noticeable.
Of course we are extremely appreciative of Tomita san for allowing us to film the entire process of our visit, we could've done better.
All in all we learned a lot this episode & will take note to improve in the future.
While you were introducing the wonderful broth and noodles I was totally distracted by the constant slurping sound in the background which was not from you.
Anyway, a fantastic episode about Japanese ramen that I'd thoroughly enjoyed watching.
2nd? 3rd? lol
faceful of "lor mee"! hahaha.
Never too harsh. Always with respect to the restauranteur and honesty to the viewer. My favorite food vloggers, thanks!
Under the circumstances I would say it was a pretty good vlog!
Thanks! I don’t have to wake up at 5 am
dont be too harsh on yourselves! even at your “worst”, the quality of this vlog far exceeds so many on youtube. and i say this as a person who generally doesnt prefer travel food vlogs. the audio was fine to me, and i could hear all of the commentary. thanks for the stellar effort as usual!
