    Setting a scene with a micro budget?

    If it is a very small portion of the overall narrative, it is probably doable. Just make sure you have someone around your monitors each day (who was a young adult in the 70s) to tell you if something is in-frame that shouldn't be there. Not too long ago, I watched a period piece that was...

    Dr-100 (not MkII) for $150

    You could even get the DR100 for $150 and then have Oade upgrade the preamps for another $125, and you are still $200 cheaper than buying a stock PMD660 new these days. I picked up a very cheap open-box DR100mk2 and have even been contemplating sending it to Oade for the $225 FET mod.

    How much prep time does lighting take up?

    Right. Just watch Festen or any of the other Dogme 95 flicks to see what it looks like to use available lights on a feature without the kickers, reflectors, scrims, etc.

    DiGi Distribution - New Online Distribution Company

    Did you end up picking up Directorik's award winning crime thriller? I'd like to watch it. I'll also keep my eyes peeled for The Recording as well. Are there other titles I can search for and watch on iTunes or Netflix that you have ushered into distribution?

    Audio Curriculum Discussion...

    I'm enjoying this thread. Is there any way to cite or link to specific stellar examples of when sound is presented from a particular character's POV, or when it is used to turn a creature, animal or even an inanimate object into a character; or used to help the audience to make connections...

    Interesting... "Grotzinger says they recently put a soil sample in SAM, and the analysis shows something earthshaking. "This data is gonna be one for the history books." Grotzinger announced that they have scheduled Donald Trump to deliver the November surprise later this month on the 23rd."

    sound Least expensive sound treatment?

    It looks like both the P520 and the P515U just power the recorder (and charge the battery while the battery is connected to the recorder. I was wondering if there was something that would let you charge a battery outside of the recorded while you were draining a different battery inside the...
