Today was a full day on Zoom to attend Sweet Suite 2020. This year it was a virtual conference and it was a lot of great fun. I was able to meet with a bunch of toy companies to learn more about what they have to offer and make more connections. It was quite different than years past and I enjoyed myself very much. This was such a cool way of doing a conference. If I ever did this again I would make sure to make a bunch more appointments rather than wander around without a real plan. The appointments that I did have were very productive. I am glad that I was able to get the office in shape before the event. Many of the people that I had met with were very happy with my virtual background. They noticed and appreciated it.
The office has been painted and last night Dad came over and helped me install a few Impact 3″” Baby Pin Wall Plates into the wall so that I could mount my studio lights there pemanently. Although I am starting to wonder if I had done anything a little differently with them as they appear to be a bit high above me. I may be able to install something on those baby pins that will let me move and angle the lights to other configurations. We shall see.
You can also see in the photo that I have installed a swing arm for my microphone. It is mounted on a shock mount and should be able to stay on the desk permanently where I can move it wherever I need it. I’ll be testing everything out tomorrow during Sweet Suite @Home. Sweet Suite is an event that I have gone to the past several years and I am very excited to see how it will be virtually. I have my green screen ready and even made a personal virtual background.
The office is not quite finished. There is one major display piece that I have to work on the rest of the week. This will look incredible once it is finished. At least, I hope so. I have been working on it in my mind for a while and I think when it is finished it will look amazing.
