How I make Botanica !

Hi !! It's finally here !
I am actually very worried about this video cause I'm still a bit uncomfortable with how I sound on video but HERE IS THE MONTHLY UPLOAD.
I got a lot of comments asking about how I made certain things so I just decided to make a (hopefully) comprehensive video detailing my process for making this genre!

Hi! I wanted to write a long and elaborate comment, but my English is too bad for that, so I'll just summarize-
This video is awesome! I could not believe that you have less than 1k subs! The editing is beautiful and the content is very valuable to me. You deserve my sub.
Thanks for this video and keep up the good work! ❤

[@lolitskiru]

Awww thank you so much for making the effort to express that to me !! Comments like this really mean a lot to me :’)

[@hexxovy]

This is golden! I absolutely loved everything about the original piece, so this rather unexpected video breaking down how you designed such delicious sounds was just perfect!

[@lolitskiru]

Ahhh Tysmm !! I’m really glad you enjoyed it :’)

[@hexxovy]

Any chance we could get one about your orchestral sections?

[@lolitskiru]

@hexxovy I’ll definitely do one in the future when I’m more comfortable ! Probably not super soon though cause I have some other stuff planned for now. Thank you though

[@hexxovy]

@@lolitskiru well, whatever you have planned, I’m excited for it!

[@lolitskiru]

[@VikIsLost]

This is an amazing and well thought out tutorial! Over the last two months, I've been working on my own botanica video passion project, and I found your perspective on the state of botanica tutorials to be spot on. I loved the way you framed everything, and you explained things better than anyone else so far :) I will be sure to mention that this video is exists and is amazing when I post it

[@solmare_]

subbed! here's another question for you 😅: how do you get your titles and do you have any tips for video editing?

[@lolitskiru]

Haha Tyy ! I design and animate everything myself !
The best tip I think I can give for anything like this is to find a lot of references and really spend time trying to recreate or make something inspired by your references. I think improvement really comes from just putting in effort and making a lot of things, so if you really wanna get better, just make more videos! A really nice CZcamsr that inspired me to make videos like this is tppo, definitely check them out !!

[@veilonme]

what’s that visualizer called at 6:01 ? never seen it before & it looks so good!

[@lolitskiru]

Haha thanks !
It’s just a vector scope on top of an oscilloscope ! I screen recorded them from a vst called signalizer and did some editing !

[@mosesnyper]

hacks to get idea:
1. go outside and listen to the ambience (real)
2. listen to music you don't usually listen to
editing go 👁

[@lolitskiru]

Yaa I agree ! a lot of the time, the best way to come up with ideas is to step away for a bit !!

[@user-gy1vj1ov6m]

i care!!!!

[@lolitskiru]

LOL Tyyy !!
