Audio will not be a problem, I'm a bit of an audiophile and we're using two Audio-Technica mics (one for exterior, one for interior) through a Tascam DR-100mkII. I just want to know if the T3i can produce a good enough cinematic video. My worry is that I'll have all this money in audio and...

I'm shooting a short film and the whole time I've had my eye on using the Canon 5D MkIII for obvious reasons. Well it's looking like I'm basically not going to have any funding because every avenue I've tried has failed. The DP that I'm using does have a Canon Rebel T3i which would cost us...

Cast & Crew Needed I am assembling a cast and crew for a short film I am making. It is a dark comic book hero type action/drama film with themes of mental illness and child sex trafficking. Below are the parts that are needed. It will likely be filmed in and around the Aurora/Naperville...

I think I'm gonna go with a real knife for closeups and a nice plastic practice knife for the actual fight scene. Since the scene is at night and the fast moving, I don't think anyone will notice.

There will be no stabbing. Only slashing and thrusting.

Can you mute the onboard mics on the Tascam DR-100mkII so as just to record with the external mics?

I've got everything I need from this thread so feel free to derail it now. Purchase list: Tascam DR-100mkII Audio-Technica AT-875 kit for exteriors Audio-Technica AT-4053b kit for interiors Sony MDR-7506 headphones

The title pretty much says it all. Where can I get a quality prop knife that won't do any harm? Like a dagger/pocket knife sort of deal. Every time I google it I just get gag stores and halloween supply stores that sell cheap stuff from China and there's really no way to verify the quality of...

Did you mean 7506? I couldn't find the 7605.

Also, can you guys recommend a decent set of headphones?

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll use the Tascam DR-100mkII, AT-875 for exterior shots, and the AT4053b for interior. Does the Tascam transfer easily to FCP?

Thanks again for the help so far. So the shotgun mic is for exterior scenes right? Can you guys recommend a good mic for indoor use in the $500 or less range? Preferably something from a reputable brand. I've been a musician for 15 years so I know the names of Sennheiser and the like stand up well.

I was thinking and how about a Zoom H4n with a good mic that I will put on a boom, then sync in post. I've read good things about this setup. My question now: what is a good interior and exterior mic? I can't afford to buy two mics, as I said, I'm not loaded. I might consider getting 2 if I...

Probably on the internet, Youtube and maybe itunes and such. I will also burn blurays/DVD's for myself and anyone interested though.

Ok, lets entertain the idea of syncing in post. What would be a simple setup that would do a good job? I'm completely self-funding this so I can't go off the deep end and I'll be the one editting it in Final Cut Pro which I've never used before, hence my apprehension to sync in post.
