Fishy Sweat, a documentary movie about TPI Brondong

Fishy Sweat, my first short documentary movie, will be released in a week. This post will tell you how I do the voice over from my bedroom with portable booth. The process is really quick. After I typed and printed the narration, I put the script inside the vocal booth–a box with acoustic foam–along with the torch from my power bank.

As the microphone was connected to the laptop, I started to record, and it took only 10 or 15 minutes. The editing, however, which I did on Audacity, took about 30 minutes, including cleaning and equalizing. Read More

You’re about to watch Fishy Sweat, a short documentary movie that features the Fish Auction Center (TPI) Brondong, which we released on September 3, 2015. You can watch it as a streaming video or download the movie to your phone or computer for free.

Deep Indonesian Voice Over

After thinking about building a voice over Website for over three months, I decided to create my own WordPress-based site five days ago, thanks to Ahnan Alex, a translator friend from Pasuruan, for encouraging me. I bought the hosting and domain from SiteGround as suggested by my Indian friend Arvind Gupta. Arvind, who is the CEO of MyWapBlog.com, a mobile blogging platform, also helped me with some tweaks on the site.

The idea of building a Website has been long thought since I was in Jakarta. Although I had experiences with WordPres self-hosting, in fact, this is my first time buying a hosting and domain–so far I had relied on free hosting services like 000Webhost or Kilu.de, which both have very limited features and bandwidth.
