Great, thank you! Yes, i'll probably be staying away from any boards myself. I used to do this with others but they've since moved away and i'm just recently getting back into all of this on my own after about 15 years. I want to at least be competent with on-camera audio and find an audio...

This isn't a 'net' story, but I feel it will fit here. Going on about 2 or so months ago on an episode of 'CBS Mornings', I believe it was Gayle King going over a story of a baby hippo being born. As the picture was on the screen, hosts Gayle and Tony we're all like "Aww, cute! So cute!" etc...

I mean for general live events (concerts, stage plays. etc. not movie work). I was thinking it couldn't hurt to have a wide stereo xy or ms field in addition to shotgun directional audio and doing a light mix with the two tracks. Edit: Thank you on the tip about matrixing.

All right, the rage-filled original post gave me some chuckles, But Nate; jackhammers and parachute pants.. this is one of the funniest things i've read in a long time. Ju gunna kill me, mane. 🤣

Excellent info, thank you!! (directorik) I actually have a reasonable amount of experience in video editing, audio syncing is easy. So I figured that if I could skip a step, then why not (?) But (AcousticAl) I hadn't thought much of quality loss, so thank you for that. My main area of experience...

"I’m really surprised as he presents like such a nice and honest guy." 'Sorry you had to go through this. I've crossed people like this before and it is narcissism. Narcissists will always try to make it sound like it's no big deal while using you and to try to make you feel like it's your...

I'm more of a video person but have interest in and have been learning more and more about audio. I've searched Youtube and the like but there only seems to be tutorials on about connecting a Zoom H6 to DSLR/3.5mm port. Is it possible to connect a Zoom H6 to my camera? The Zoom of course has...

Nice video. It's funny how to refer to this as a "throwaway reel". 😆 You are very talented. I could never create something like this, although I wish I could. The jewel, face in the smoke, and what appears to be a multi-limbed person are the stand-out shots for me.

If you are wanting your videos in a different format so your video editing program will recognize it, conversion is unnecessary and will likely introduce quality loss unless you use something really involved and space-consuming such as avisynth. You only need to re-wrap your file(s). It is 100%...

Well, I mean - it could work. It's worked before! 😆 Edit: For a second language, it's good, but still a bit "Engrish" as if it were put through google translate. I can only speak one human language, so it's better that I can do. Why are the characters in the script trying to bork each other's...

There are only two USB devices that I know of that will legitimately capture tapes via firewire, and both are from the same company. These are premium devices, unlike those cheap/scam "usb to firewire" cables. Avoid those. Anyway, device one is called "Pinnacle Studio Moviebox Ultimate". It...

Glad to help. That's one thing I forgot to mention. Autofocus tends to have trouble with achromats. https://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Achromatic-Diopter-Close-Up-Digital/dp/B000GBCYF2?th=1 One of the reviews here explains a bit: "Despite the bad reviews, I'm very pleased with the product. I did...

Nate, this is really cool what you are doing! But those AI sitcom videos.. they're terrifying. Like seeing past the cosmos in an H.P. Lovecraft story or an episode of Tales from the darkside.

Hello Ashton, welcome to the forum! Do you have any gear? A camera? If so, what kind? I recommend creating some separate topics here, such as 'What camera should I buy?' 'How do I get started with directing my first video?' or 'How do I compose a shot?' Whatever things you are curious about...

Hey, I think we're all learning about something, always! Film school isn't everything; many people i've spoken with personally or read posts online seem to be somwhat brain-washed now. I mean they will say things like 'You can't do that because my teacher said it's against the "rules". Rules -...
