Like all microphones, the key is getting the microphone within 18" or less of the talent. Getting the NTG-3, in the proper setting, within 18" of the talent and aimed properly at the sweet spot, and equipped with appropriate wind protection, will indeed reduce quite a bit of the background...

What do you want to do with this screenplay? That will have a bearing on the direction you take.

Shotguns, especially moderate length shotguns like the 416 can be used with good results indoors provided the space is not overly reflective, actor movement is limited, and proper attention is paid to the specifics of booming indoors. Swinging the mic in the space during blocking rehearsals will...

I think most sound recordists would agree with your statement. The confusion comes in when microphone manufacturers combine terms. Terms like shotgun, cardioid, hyper-cardioid, and omni describe the polar pattern of the microphone whereas terms like line-gradient and lobar describe the physical...

The script is where you start. Write a compelling story. One where you actually care about the characters. The hardest thing I found involved with filmmaking is writing a script and finding a reason to care abouot the characters in the story. Recently, a DP and I were talking about writing...

Hire a sound guy. Images were great. Dialog was horrible. Funny content too. p.s. I'm a sound guy

I heard it's alot easier if you shoot it on The Red.

I see your point, no problem. I just hate seeing people sold 700mhz stuff and told, hey, you can use it, it still works. While I don't think the band is currently congested with the new traffic, in time it will be. We've always had good discourse, no different. Or maybe I'm just in a great mood...

Here's another scary quote from the FCC website: "Because of the danger of interference with important radio communications services, continued use of wireless microphones in the 700 MHz band after June 12, 2010 may subject operators to severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment. "

I guess I read it as if the FCC can fine you for using it, then that, at least to me, makes it illegal. Will you get fined? Probably not. Just like we get away with speeding (most of the time). Here's the link to the FCC fact sheet. Interpret as desired...

NICE!

Here's the thing. Everyone one of us here did whatever it is we needed to do in order to get where we are. For some of us that meant working two, sometimes three jobs to buy the gear we needed to practice our craft. It also meant volunteering to work on other peoples films while we starting...

So, if I'm understanding this, the UK T2i and T3i does not have the rebel label on the front of the camera? What do you know, I just looked at the UK website and it does not. I guess Canon figures Rebel is something us yanks can identify with. Interesting that here, there seems to be a...

I just went thru the same thing you're going thru, and after all was said and done, I bought the 60D. I started looking at the T2I, and then the T3I because of the the flip out screen. I was kinda settled on the T3i. While I'm not sure there is such a thing as a perfect camera to do both stills...

One thing the G3 has going for it is it's a diversity reciever. The G2 was not so it's unfair to call it an equivalent. Provided your wireless is not operating in the 700 mhz band which is now illegal and prone to more interference, the next thing to consider is line of sight between the...

These are some numbers I found. Puts things in perspective doesn't it? Think about where this film would have landed without the advertising. Production: $450,000, including $30,000 production, $100,000 finishing costs, $320,000 for sound and color correction, 35-mm blowup Acquisition fee...

The difference is likely the shielding. Also, I suspect this is an unbalanced line, and with unbalanced lines, the longer the run, the more prone to interference.

And FCP is not as professional as AVID. These kinds of discussions are more a distracter from making movies than an enabler to help make movies. My guess is that provided the editor is proficient in the software, no one can tell the difference between something cut in FCP, Premiere, Vegas, or...

In theatre work (where I spent 15 years), we had a strict policy regarding stunts and harnesses. If it requires a harness, hire a certified rigger. My guess is the reason you're having a difficult time finding the gear is because vendors do not market this stuff to the general public. And...
