Maybe. What films have you worked on? I'm fairly active in the Atlanta area.

SWEEEET! I want to be king, too! j/k.... How about making some movies? Maybe eventually some good movies?

Hi! What's a mogul?

I own an ME-80/K3U that lives in a rycote blimp and is used often as my primary shotgun. Yes, it's output is low compared to sankens and the ME-66. Mine is black also and came in the original sennheiser box with german only data sheet. When used directly into a tascam DR-100, the levels were a...

Control is an illusion. I have just recently entered the work of producer, and still work quite a bit on set as a production sound mixer/boom op. I will typically refrain from making any kind of suggestion unless it appears that the director/DP are struggling to solve a problem. If I've seen...

Your calculations are correct. Here's some of the reasoning behind the lens choices. 22mm lens with the 1.6 crop gives you about 35mm. This is considered a middle wide angle lens. 35mm with 1.6 crop gives you about 56mm. 50mm is considered to be the same width as we see with our eyes. 50mm...

The bigger question is "what is the subject". Is this about protesting in general? Is is about the specifics of what's being protested? Right now, there seems to be many messages and issues being raised by the protestors. In fact, a recent quote from an organizer was "it doesn't matter what...

Hold judgement until you see and hear the final product. It may look and sound like crap and you may now have a reference on how not to shoot a movie.

Amen, brother.

That would have to be a very sturdy coat hanger. My sound blankets weigh about 3-4 lbs each. I use microphone stands with booms. I configure the boom like a T, and extend the stand to full height (which is around 6-1/2 feet). I clamp the blankets to the boom with gator clamps. Right now I carry...

Yes, you can get sued. Lucky's respond is more along the lines of will the plaintiff win. Will you get sued? It depends. Lyrics are protected by copyright. I take you you chose those particular lyrics because they were identifiable. If you intend on submitting this work for festivals, or...

Use proper exposure ratios.

Two serious problems with using conventional makeup on-set. The first is that day-wear makeup (the kind most women wear on a daily basis) contains sunblock. Sunblock contains zinc-oxide which produces a glow or glare, flattering for daywear, far too visible for film. Make-up formulated for film...

Unless your room is treated, and you're using accurate monitors, critical istening is virtually impossible. Your best bet would be to listen using quality headphones. If the listening room isn't properly treated, it will be impossible to determine what reverb is in the source, and what reverb...

I'm not sure what the exchange rate is or if you are talking aus. $, but the sennheiser G2/G3 has become the workhorse of low budget filmmaking. This unit sells for $600/channel, and add a quality lav (sanken, tram, rode) for approx. $250 and you have a highly reliable, quality wireless. No, it...

What does the location SOUND like? Near a freeway, airport, train station, Oregon Trail, racetrack, iron foundry, jack hammer testing facility, etc? For a recent feature, I had the director find two "perfect" locations, both completely unusable for capturing dialog, and therefore, consuming 28...

My guess is that some entries will have music and/or sound fx added in the edit, and those were not recorded with the onboard audio, so with that in mind, why should dialog have to be recorded with the on-camera audio? Maybe ask the contest host if you can add pre-recorded music and you'll have...

Does that include kit?

There is a few problems with your design. The most detrimental being the lack of a true gimbal joint on the vertical shaft. The purpose of the gimbal is to locate the x&y pivot (fulcrums) in as close proximity to each other as possible. In this way, angular forces are more easily communicated...

You are correct. It's a preamp.
