Thx, Alcove! Incredibly helpful as always! I did just because it was the highest quality. I won't pretend like I had another reason. Is 96 overkill?

Low battery has definitely been an issue before, and replacing the batteries helped immensely when it happened. I'm not the one operating; I have another person for that. They're, fortunately, pretty aggressive with getting good sound. They always make sure try to hug the frame line and are...

I'm a little underwhelmed with my Ntg-2/H4n combo. I need to be at 100 recording level, and still I'll get -18 to -12 db, and the sound is a little artificial and muddy. I was wondering if there is a good upgrade i could get for $500 or under that could improve my sound quality/sensitivity...

Awesome, thanks for all the help!

Right on! I'll be sure to check out the tutorials. If I were to learn on resolve lite, do you think the info would be applicable to after effects?

I know it's a very very dense discipline, but I was wondering where do I start if I want to learn how to color grade a film? Any highly recommended books or videos? I heard about "The Tao of Color", but it seems to apply only to people grading on DaVinci Resolve, which I can far from afford...

I'm working on a no-budget feature, and we've hit a wall with laving up talent. I've had some fantastic help in regards to audio, but I still cannot for the life of me prevent the lavalieres from making noise from contact with clothing. I've tried having a shirt underneath and over the lav...

shoot, that's sounds awesome! Thanks for the tips, you probably just saved us from a lot of grief and reshoots there.

what's sonic set prep?

Thanks for the vid, Alcove Audio. That info is super helpful! I talked with the other guys, we looked into the quality of the 88, and mixed with the ntg-2, it'll do well. thanks for all the help guys!

Thanks for the help! I'll definitely check out the AT Pro 88. I'd love to rent the G3, but 2 at 50 a day comes out to 100 a day, and probably 1500 by the end of the production. I couldn't afford that. Just for my edification, what headaches would come with going cheaper than the Pro 88...

Hiring would not work too well, unfortunately. We're shooting with a tiny, committed crew, nobody's getting paid, and we're only shooting on a crazy schedule that consists mainly of weekends. We want to do it this way, so that we can reduce the pressure of traditional narrative moviemaking...

I'm prepping for essentially a no-budget film, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the best bang for the buck audio setup. I'm sure it's a frustrating topic, as production gear in other areas has very much a "you get what you pay for" nature when it comes to quality. Thus, asking a lot...

My apologies. I read that completely wrong. I thought you wanted an example of the video-ey look I was talking about, but not shot on a DSLR. The more I look at it, I think it may not have been the movement of the subjects, but rather the camera shake. There's a more video-esque camera...

These are fantastic! Thanks for letting us benefit from all your hard work learning the craft.
