Fubuki SPM Figure Unboxing & Review

This video was an experiment in collaboration and "cinematic" budget review. Bought at Bangalore Comic Con 2018, the Fubuki SPM Figure (from Kantai Collection) became the subject of a review that was less about specs and more about storytelling.

The "Sister" Experiment

Instead of hosting it myself, I handed the microphone to my sister. The result shifted the tone from a technical analysis to a relatable narrative: buying a figure, discovering the broken seal, and the genuine anxiety of wondering if we’d been scammed with a bootleg.

Creative Direction: "Nature Studio"

Lacking a professional studio, we shot the entire video outdoors in our garden.

• The Look: We placed the figure in tall green grass, shooting from a low "macro" angle (a technique called Omochesha). This made the 8-inch figure feel life-sized, as if Fubuki was walking through a jungle.
• The Sound: We embraced the ambient outdoors but used aggressive audio ducking—dropping the music volume significantly when speaking to keep the voice clear, then swelling it back up for transitions.

Editing Breakdown

• Beat-Sync: The intro features a rapid negative-color flash synced exactly to the snare drum beat drop (0:14) for impact.
• J-Cuts: Audio from the narration often starts before the video cuts away from the B-roll, creating a seamless flow.
• PIP Context: Screenshots of MyAnimeList and Amazon (showing the price difference) were overlayed to visually validate our discussion.
