If you just use a plate to sheild the mic from the shooting side you should still have an clear 'view' of the bullets as they impact and pass through. There is still a very real danger of the mic being hit by fragments. I am kinda guessing you are looking to capture the effect of being in the...

Can't help you with the recorder but s for the second question I would ensure that the sound recordist was a blood relative of the shooter. That would encourage better aiming. Either that or put a very thick metal plate between the mic and the gun and hope for the best. Id keep quite a...

As mentioned above there is no fixed level but not loud is a good idea. Firstly you will be there for a long time so a comfortable level that will not cause fatigue is paramount. Secondly things tend to sound good loud just by being loud. so it's too easy to fool yourself into thinking you have...

I'd start with th local stores and would expect to leave with contact details for a National office. Should at least have a number for the correct office and it's easier to make contact in person in a small store than a busy helpdesk that have to deal with hundreds of calls a day.

First thing first, you cannot fix bad audio. You can sweeten a bit, match levels, tweak EQ, dynamics and effects to help match the audio to the screen but if you kill your audio when recording it's gone. Taking audio is about passing through every stage from the mic to the speakers perfectly...

Cool, thanks Uncle Bob.

Going with the T2i mens you can start filming now and later on invest in good glass, probably the most important factor.

Ideally you should record separate sound but If you have magic lantern you can get away with kinda usable sound in cam. The preamps aren't particularly good and you may need adaptor cables to hook up depending on mic. Depends on what you are doing. If your product is heading straight to you...

'These are made by Weifeng in China' 'The height is only 52 1/2" to the top plate' There's a rather un-PC joke in there somewhere. I've come across these, thanks for passing on your experience with them.

It's all n the conversion. Simply desaturating the image will not cut it. Photographers use a variety of different techniques to get authentic looking monochrome. Maybe read up on some photography resources, you'll also get an idea as to why simple desaturation is not the key. The most common...

You can get larger quads and even 6 and 8 rotor platforms that are even easier to fly than the parrot but with enough power to lift a DSLR in a gyro stabilised pan and tilt mount. Have yet to come across one with rails and an RC follow focus tho :D The most impressive thing I've seen are video...

I've been looking at these for a while ever since I saw a friends airplane footage. Apparently they have been hooking up a video sender and using a screen image to fly the plane to create a kind of unmanned drone. They can fly out much further than by flying the plane by sight. If you have...

Would stay away from cabbage, beans etc. Once was on a shoot where there was coleslaw for lunch. a couple of embarrassing cuts for sound followed.

Oh, is that why the ones we used on a shoot a month or so ago tasted like crap??

a case of chronic hardwood?? ;)

A producer's job is fundamentally to get as much as he can for the least expenditure (and guess which department get's the least priority). You can work with a crew for expenses, get called back time after time because they like your work but there is no guarantee that when you bring up getting...

Wasn't it Pixar who commissioned a custom coded Linux system? The ease of setting up render farms on Linux would make sense for an animation company. Personally I quite life FCP. It's great and intuitive on a personal level. Where AVID has the definite edge is in the larger facility...

Or chemical ;). Maybe this could be the angle, she dosed him loads of Viagra which can cause a hardon for days and damage his penis possibly leaving him impotent. Now if that happened to be THEN I'd be mad.

I have heard two friends relay stories about having had sexual intercourse forced upon them by a girl, in both cases they were bragging about it. You're going to have a hard time to get the audience to take this seriously IMO unless he is anally penetrated. Then you can also factor his...

You might get away with the premise if they were foreign students. Other than that you will need a much more obscure word, some specialised street slang that viewers would recognise but nerds would not of been familiar with. I am a bit old to provide hip street slang but something like 'punani'...
