    editing Figuring out the gain db for tv

    I seem to never quite get the volume correct. I was wondering if there was a rule of thumb for vol on tv. when you edit. Either the music/vo is blasting or too low. I cant seem to find that happy place. For example: On Vegas editing. Vol is set at -4.3 db for background music. The gain is...

    Cheap Video camera's?

    I have had various vixia cameras and they were all bad in low light. I think any consumer camera is bad in low light. The day I find a camera really good in low light is when I spend a few grand on a camera.

    Cheap Video camera's?

    I like the Canon Vixia cameras. You can get them used at BH photo too. I haven't had a problem buying a used camera from them.

    archived-videos SHORT: Chess 4 Life

    I got the impression it was a thriller based on the tone of the music. But I think I would like to see a hint of what it is that would stop the kid from walking out.

    archived-videos Unwanted Guest (1st short film)

    The first time I fooled around with green screening, I basically went to Joann Fabric and bought a few yards of green material that was on sale. I litterally nailed it to the wall so it hung like a painting and placed a giant Barbie in front of it. Then I keyed it all out and Barbie was on the...

    archived-videos Unwanted Guest (1st short film)

    I thought it was quite funny but didn't get the end ... dragging the garbage to the shed...my issue was lighting. It was kind of dimly lit. The sound was good but the 'bum' sounded a bit louder than the second charactor. Cute. Did you use a green screen for the tennis ball? At some point the...

    Shooting a meeting...

    How to set up sound for this 'meeting' OKay so I will be videorecording a 'meeting' in town for local tv this spring. I thought it was just that, a meeting but it goes a bit beyond that as there is interaction between the speaker and audience and dancing too. I am not sure how dancing ties in...

    Shooting a meeting...

    Thanks Dreadylocks! I am waiting for a response from the person holding the 'meeting' which it turns out is a little more than just a meeting! Apparently there is dancing too! Yes. A little bizzare and I cannot image what sort of meeting it is...I guess about dancing...I thought it was more of a...

    Shooting a meeting...

    I am waiting to find out exactly where this meeting will be held . But I believe right now it will be in an auditorum at the school where there is a stage. If so then lighting should be okay there...I am wondering if I should (if it is in the auditorium) have one tripod camera on stage with the...

    editing pop filter recommendation?

    Shooting a meeting...

    I hope I posted in the correct area. I will be shooting a meeting in April for local tv and I want to ensure I have all my ducks lined up. Its in a room with no windows (so far anyway) and I am not sure if there is audience participation or not. I will have the camera on a tripod facing the...

    editing pop filter recommendation?

    I need a pop filter for my usb mic. I don't know if it matters but its a Blue Yeti. Like the mic but am trying to filter out some unwanted 'pu' sounds. I see there are many pop filters that range from a few bucks and up. I want one that is good! Anyone have recommendations? What to stay away...

    the best voice recorder?

    I am in search of a fanstastic voice recorder. I do have the cheapies that range in the 50 dollar range but I sound like tin. While I can pratice on my computor which is good, I want a v.r. so that I can it to work and practice. The one I have now, while I can hear myself, it not only sounds...

    I can now see the difference on using cheep tripod

    I have a manfrotto which I love. I have purchased the cheapies over the years and they soon start to fall apart or get stiff or cant move this way or that. This one can also take floor view photos by stretching out all the legs. A worthwhile investment.

    cd sleeves...anyone know a good place that lets me create?

    Hi. I am searching for a place online that will allow me to build and creat a cd sleeve (color both sides) for a v.o. demo in the future. What I am finding are places that have either a way to high minimum order (a thousand but I only need 100 max) Or ones that don't allow me to print (along...

    Mic. Just for vo

    I would then need to invest in the list you stated I gather if the sound was to be 'perfect'. Let me see if this is what I need the following for: Stand so I can stand up to the mic and read Shock mount - not sure. Perhaps if something hits the mic?? Pop Filter - a filter between mouth and...

    Mic. Just for vo

    I am checking out mics that will be used only for v.o. Looking to spend about 300 or so. If its possible to get a pretty good one that has no far away sound or echoing sound that some cheaper ones have. In truth , I don't know 300 will get me what I am looking for. Thanks. k
