------- FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN ------ AMBIENT ZONE -----
Hello all.
UPDATE: ❄️ HELP me fund a Professional AC in the studio! Currently it's 33C up here which means : no production time. See below for more details ⤵️
After months and months of thinking about it, how I could reach out to you in even more cooler ways, how to deliver more content in the Ambient genre, watching other YouTubers, looking for the right equipment, reading product reviews and comparing features and benefits ...
The next logical step for me is to make more content for you on YouTube: start making professional looking videos, mind blowing guides into sound design, LIVE music creations, podcast streams and of course the occasional outdoor trips shot in stunningly beautiful 4K video that we will build the soundtrack for together in the studio!
Isn't this what we've all been waiting for?
Then please continue reading.
"And so I have launched this donation page , welcome!"
Me -TC - host of the Spacemusic podcast and founder of Ambient Zone - I believe it's possible to lift my productions to a whole new level and publish super cool videos that make a difference. Videos that entertain, move, relax and share with you more content in the Ambient genre - a reflection of my passion for electronica & music.
Then comes the next question, what do I need in order to create such content?
* pleasant climete in the studio - currently there's no AC in the top-floor studio and it gets easily 33C during summer days. A professional inverter type AC+ installation will cost around €1700-1900 euros
* A very good camera. Or even 2... for the ability to switch between shots. Using the smartphone can add the occasional B-roll. Nevertheless, a high quality camera with a very good lens, good audio, lighting and don’t forget a couple of mounts/tripods.
"This is done by using Professional equipment that we can trust"
AC / Camera's / accessories in the higher price range for a professional studio - making more and professional content for you guys.
A quality camera is nothing without a quality lens. Lenses come at various price levels. Qualities as well. It's no exception when the price of the lens equals the price of the camera or even exceeds it.
Let the light speak ; these days almost every Vlogger has one or more LED ring lights. The use of a Softbox works like magic! It creates diffused light and makes the scene look smooth and gentle. Much choice and options here.
Audio that is good, clear and in-sync. As a podcaster I know how important sound is ... no need to explain this any further. I could use the extra mic and speak to you without the windscreen in front of my face …🎙
Time …. lots of time, efforts and care goes into creating good audio and video content. The pre- and post-production hours will add up but that's all right. This is also one of the reasons I'm asking for your financial support. There's no other fulltime job when being a full-time podcaster ánd video creator a.k.a ‘YouTuber’ !
What I need for Ambient Zone:
I can only do this with the help of my audience. Help me raise funds! And let's make sure that the right equipment can be shipped to Holland.

✅ Video recording is not just pressing a record button and go! … Video demands serious attention for both video and audio : both need to be in-sync, look great and sound awesome! As mentioned earlier: this is a next step. Something I look forward to!
✅ *** Less heat and pleasant climate in our top-floor studio is a must! ***

UPDATES - UPDATES - UPDATES
➡️ July 19th 2022 - HELP me to invest in a good AC system to get the heat out of the studio. Less heat = better and more quality shows!
➡️ July 16th 2022 - thank you to our donators! Happy to see money has been raised and it still continues ... Not enough yet for a professional dSLR investment but I will look into cheaper alternatives that will do the job.
The goal is to launch video episodes after summer... IF I stay in Holland that is (?) Completely different topic but I had not expected things to get so difficult and to find a housing market being totally beyond repair. It's worse that you think. Chances are close to zero- if not zero - I will find ( and get ) a place to live while there's more opportunities abroad. Yes ... even Cyprus has my attention again!
Before I catch a plane and seek elsewhere, I will investigate some more. Meanwhile, the studio is fully functional, once I have a reasonable 4K solution I will hit 'record' and make sure I can broadcast to you guys! ~TC
