    Sound Recording Tips - DR-100

    I've put all sorts through my Tascam but never had problems. Had your card been anywhere near a mac perchance? Only ask because something similar happened to files on my 550d. 4 files showed up as 0k (of course they were the 4 most important files, the rest were just background stuff. Had a...

    I had to promise him a level of anonymity. It would be unlikely he would of opened up like that if his identity wasn't obscured especially with the accusations against the police and customs officials. That's one of the main challenges I faced making the film. People like people and making a...

    t2i and h4n production logging

    This is the report I based mine on. http://comm.unc.edu/mmlabs/helpfold/soundreport I like to make my own so I can adapt it slightly to the way I work and having your name and number and even logo on there affords a certain level of professionalism. Send me your e-mail and I can send a...

    Corrupt A Wish - Forum game

    Granted, but batteries not included. I wish I was somewhere far sunnier and warmer than London i at the moment.

    wirelass lav inter-compatibility

    Thanks for the help with the lavs, but not sure if I follow you about the receiver hook up. My problem is my 4 track recorder only has two mic inputs, the other two being line only. The radio's I had seen up until then where switchable between mic and line but the ATs I wound up with (e-bay...

    3D Audio in film?

    I dunno, the reason your ears curve round at the back is to alter sounds coming from the rear to make it possible to differentiate from front/rear. Squirt white noise through some cans and use a notch filter round about 3k, you should hear the noise moving back and forth.

    t2i and h4n production logging

    taking time to try and synch the time on both devices can be helpful as is taking a moment to set meaningful filename suffixes (by the time lighting is ready you should have loads of time). Personally I fill in my own sound report, recording scene and take number against my file name and notes...

    That is really, really good Dustin. Truth be told I always saw this kind of processing as gimmicky but you have totally won me over. Especially with the stills, starting with black and white gives a subtlety of tone that is breathtaking and looks a lot like the look many photographers are...

    Gun Replicas & Licences (UK)

    Unless you are a member of an airsoft site you can only purchase brightly coloured guns due to the illegality of replica firearms. I have heard of airsoft stores renting out realistic arms for props, one is wolf armouries who have some legal info on their page...

    Best materials or methods for making prop guns?

    A word of warning, if Ozzie laws are like the UK there is a very good reason why toy guns are brightly coloured, imitation firearms are illegal as is modifying toy guns (painting) to look realistic. Check with your local police about it and I suggest destroying any replicas you make as soon as...

    wirelass lav inter-compatibility

    I have a lav mic from a sure wireless system knocking about and wondered what are the odds of being able to use it on another wireless transmitter from another manufacturer (Audio Technica) if I change the connector. I can't seem to find the bias voltage of the transmitter but the sure states...

    As I am new here I thought I'd introduce myself with a short documentary. It is a brief look at London's seedier underbelly as experienced by a late night cab driver. PLEASE NOTE: CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE AND REFERENCES. http://player.vimeo.com/video/18177727 The audio needs a bit of tidying...

    That is actually very good indeed. A very polished final product. I see this kind of film often on the global channels of many national broadcasters giving an insight to local culture. In fact it is actually of a higher standard than many I've seen. Well done to all involved and if your...

    Budget HDSLR rig help

    If you want really cheap rods hit up a plumber's supply. Copper water pipes come in 15mm diametres. If your not going to extend them you can also get plain old 15mm ali rods from metal merchants and even e-bay
