Wow. Well, it depends as there is a significantly cheaper option. How about tungstens? Massive bang for your buck and 2000w will just about compensate for the sun. A cheap, Chinese 2,000w blonde will cost you £100 and a used stand around £50. The bulb will cost you around £10 and make sure...

I thought (and please do correct me if I'm wrong) that it depended if the reflective surface was completely flat because non linear (i.e. not flat) surfaces change the frequency of reflections. So, according to the laws of physics: - Reflection: Reflection occurs when a wave bounces from...

I don't know what recorder you're using but if you have a high pass filter on it, use it. If you set it to 80, it will help with removing the echo.

Nothing except me. Although I am a professional, corporate film maker, occasionally I get paid for a sound cleanup. Depends on how what it is. Sometimes, it is salvageable... for a price.

Nothing good about roto...

A messed up edit. My fault for getting the shoot wrong and just hoping the client won't be too unhappy...

They had some kind of display model which they were trying to get rid of. EDIT: Actually, no, you're right. I spoke with the Canon guy at the warehouse and then bought it through a partner. They wouldn't sell it to me directly so I had to go through someone. I was thinking about the Sony...

I have a custom fan. The C500 is the bargain of the century because it's being sold off very cheaply but the images are incredible. I bought one from Canon which was 80% discounted over the original price with 1 hour on it. With the external fan unit, it's a cinema camera for DSLR money...

I use a different setup as I offer corporate packages (not just sound, the whole shebang) so I need to both sell and get good sound. What I do is have kit with brands that 'wow' the customer and have a single, interviewee setup. So: Sennheiser Mkh416 feeding into an SD mixer into a Zoom. On...

Love to see that. My shoot tomorrow (I have a corporate customer) goes back to the age of talkies. We are using a C-stand because the interviewee is seated and because we are shooting on a C500, we have a noise reduction unit! Le plus ca change.

Wowwwwww! I love the plant mics. Explains so much! And those booms... Holy cow.

Wow!

Astonishing that it can be recorded on just two mics. Last time around, I recorded a small, acoustic group micing up each individual instrument. I could literally run the signals through my SD mixer and run it into a Zoom H5N! That's astonishing! And sticking the mics behind the conductor's...

Thanks. XY config looks like the way forward.

So... I'm now a professional film maker (yay!) with a small, corporate customer list. I'm marketing like crazy, am enjoying every minute of it, have made more money than I thought I would, although I wasn't very optimistic but still have this crazy, creative streak in me. One thing I've always...

It depends how cinematic you want it. I am a working, professional film maker and shot this on a GH4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=etT4rVrGyXc We deliberately degraded the footage to look this way because that's what we wanted.

We did it in post. We wanted a more 'artificial' look and I'd highly recommend it because you can make it look any way you want. After: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1WSnRa1r_U Before: https://vimeo.com/80114999

The other option is to find someone in love with sound and pair up. That way he gets your visuals and you get his sound.

Thanks for the heads-up and the comment on the connectors was good. The full setup is: - MKH416 - C2 (Sennheiser lavs) - SD 2 input mixer - Zoom H5 - Boom, shockmount, sound bag, XLRs, cans etc... - Canon C500 fully loaded. What we'll do is a bit like playing twister with XLRs but we're...

So... I'm going on a shoot where I'm using a Sound Devices mixer, MKH416 and then the following: - Mixer to camera (C500) XLR input. Eventually ends up in a 7Q+ - Mixer to Zoom H5N (think it's an H5) Now the issue is I've been told someone's going to be providing a lav... I personally have...
