i'm slowly building my own "rig" for doing simple film via DSLR... one area I don't want to skimp is on live sound recording. If you have a friend with a boom/sock/field-recorder set up, feed him well. It may seem inconsequential but in the end good sounding dialogue recording is critical...

if the film can help elevate a composers' reel, some will do it for a cut rate, some will work for credit. Since you're in Toronto, why not shoot me an email? maybe I can help. Best luck. ~Russell

shoot me an email when you have a chance. russell.soares@gmail.com cheers!

does the DR-40's 4-track feature trump the more expensive dr-100mkII's stereo-only? or did i miss something on the spec sheet of the 100mkII ?

The DR-40 looks like it will do everything I need, and then some. Thanks so much for posting, everyone.

if one wanted to record outside of the studio, and didnt want to lug along laptop/fw/lunchbox/mics - what's a decent budget portable recorder with either built-in mics, or built-in + XLR w/ phantom? edit: this looks pretty sweet: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PMD661/

Excellent information - thank you. I had no idea that the drift would be that minimal; I too come from an audio background and actively taking picture is new to me. Clapper and notes it is. For the budget - is the T3i a good choice? Thanks for the comments - its helping a bunch.

do you guys just "eyeball" your good audio alongside whatever it captures? seems kind of unscientific. i guess there's no way to sync the 48k audio on this device with anything else? are there any wordclock/spdif etc addons for these kind of consumer devices?

Hey everyone. I'm considering this camera as a stationary shooter - but what I can't easily find is whether the "stereo mic in" is actually line level or not - as in - can i hook up some of my mics/pres/compressors etc to an unbalanced out into this camera, or will the impedance be all wrong...

Hugo (why all the hype? It was ok. Great cast, though) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Fincher) - I enjoyed it. I need to see the original now.

happy to help out and do the whole film if it fits. feel free to check out my music... it's but a small sampling. russellsoares.com best luck w/ the film no matter who you work with - always a learning experience.

Alan Silvestri - Predator - 2nd'd. just... amazing. Andrew Lockington - Journey 2: Mysterious Island. Cheesy movie, outstanding score. Gladiator - even if a good chunk of it is right out of Holst.

happy to help if i can. if we're a good fit we'll go from there. russellsoares.com not a hell of a lot of samples on there yet - but, that's what happens when one is beginning in scoring. been doing music for ages, though. best luck whatever or whoever you choose to work with - not everyone...

The Lives of Others (2006, German). Eng subtitles. Did not at all take away from the story. Just... amazing. One of the better films i've seen in the last few years.

agreed. if its good video, i'm offering up music as well. russellsoares.com best luck whatever you decide to do.

Immortals. 5/10. It was pretty but it brings nothing interesting to the table.

while it was apparently stitched, for a "continuous take" - The Protector has one pretty amazing scene.

opening: TinTin closing: LemonySnickets, Bolt.

Micmacs (Fr, eng subtitles) Bizarre, but I liked it. 7/10.

If you haven't already chosen someone, i'd love to be considered. www.russellsoares.com
