Behind the Scene

Hi Qtees! We can’t believe we’re officially starting our blog. Starting a blog has always been at the back of our minds. However, as they say, it’s easier said than done, especially with our hectic schedule. ‘Hectic’ has officially become our middle name. Mainly this November was a hectic month for us. Many brands are pushing out holiday campaigns and trying to meet their sales quota before the end of this year. But we’re NOT complaining! We enjoy the creative process behind each content that we create. And we’re so fortunate to call something that we love doing passionately as our job.

On today’s Weekly Blog, we have A LOT of studio filming. Sometimes it baffles us how content that takes several days of preparation and a handful of hours to film would end in less than a 30-second final content. Oh the things we do for content.

Here are some loads of bags full of clothing and products that are ready to be filmed. Usually, we would have a few more bags, but thankfully this day, we mainly were filming beauty content rather than fashion content. One thing is for sure, being a content creator needs a lot of physical strength. Many studios do not have parking space, so we’d have to carry all the bags from a public parking lot to the studio. And when we’re really unlucky, they don’t even have elevators…. so we’d have to carry the bags up the stairs…. yay…

On our way to the first studio we’ve booked! Thankfully the weather was perfect for filming content.

Since we were filming beauty content, we did our gel nail the other night while half-asleep lol It’s not perfect, but this will do :)

We’ve arrived at the first studio of the day. We really loved the monochrome and minimalistic theme of this studio. But most of all, look at the way how the light enters the room! We never use artificial lights when filming beauty content; thus, having perfect lighting is extremely important to us. If you Qtees are interested in watching the content we’ve created at this studio, check it out by clicking ‘HERE’ below :)

Here we are at the 2nd studio location, and Mama QQ came to help us with taking photos. Believe it or not, many of the images you Qtees see on our Instagram are taken by Mama QQ. I told Mama QQ that I was taking photos for our upcoming blog post, and she started becoming conscious of the camera haha.

Here is me posing awkwardly in front of the mirror. By the way, I’m wearing Song of Style Xale Midi Dress if you Qtees are interested :)

Our last project of the day was with beautiful Swarovski jewelry collections from Farfetch. Just look at these beautiful green and purple colors with crystal embellishment. It was actually a bit stressful working with these pieces of jewelry because we were constantly being worried if we break the pieces while shooting or lose them while moving from one location to another.

For the last studio location, we were searching for a clean space that is filled with geometric architectural designs. After searching through the internet for almost an hour, we stumbled upon this enchanting studio. The studio was actually a house that was renovated into a studio. The house consisted of 3 floors and each floor was designed in a different theme. For us, we used the 3rd floor.

This studio was a bit pricey to book. So we decided to take several different contents. Some of the content we took are scheduled to be released in December while others have already been released. You Qtees can check out what we’ve took at this studio by clicking ‘HERE’ below :)

And YES! You’ve guessed it right :) Mama QQ took that Swarovski and Charles & Keith photo for us. Thank you Mama QQ <3

Well, that’s it for today’s Weekly blog. Hope you Qtees enjoyed reading this small segment of behind the scene of filming content. (We really hope we didn’t bore you out) If you Qtees are interested, we can actually create a video where we take you along the process of creating content from A to B. Please let us know in the comment below :)

Until next week, take care and always be happy!
