Depending on how "hospital" you need the room to look, check out college health clinics, even elementary and high schools have nurses and may have a "room".

There are different "clip-on" (we sound guys tend to use the term lavalier) type microphones. Do the mics have to be hidden? Will they be worn under clothing? Is there environmental issues such as wind and rain? Even the timbre of the talent's voice plays a role in selecting the appropriate...

I don't compress dialog, nor do I normalize. I EQ when necessary, but it's typically automation based so I only apply it where needed to get a phrase or part of a phrase to cut thru. I work all my dialog first, checkerboarding for each character, cutting out dead air, then look for anything...

Frank Zappa did. Frank learned music theory and composition at the public library. His score sheets, all hand written, are works of art to behold. Incredibly detailed, and incredibly neat. So, yes, a person can teach themselves composition. But why not focus on what you are passionate...

So, then where are these directions?

The thing is, a studio setting may well support the use of a shotgun, provided there are no reflective surfaces in the vicinity of the talent being boomed. The problem with shotguns indoors is where there are reflective surfaces nearby which reflect sound into the interference tube often...

As long as you slate your shots, you can use the audio from camera A (which has the boom plugged in) when you cut to camera B. Keep the on-board mic on camera B on so that you can use it's audio as a scratch track for sync with the slate.

Oh, oh! Now you've done it.

LED par lighting Two problems with this type light: Very low output, an LED parcan which can output the same as a 500w conventional will cost nearly a grand. Color is uneven. If you are looking for an LED solution, look at LED panels made for video or photography. These are already color...

Remember that booming conversations means moving the mic from speaker to speaker and getting proper placement on each. 18"-20" from talent's mouth max.

Describe "TV Show" Sit-com? Interview? Variety? Truth is, there's not much out there for that price.

It would be best if you describe what you're trying to accomplish. Very few location sound applications can be accommodated with a shotgun on a stand.

That would work, but mp3 is a terrible format to use for sound. In addition, I suspect that movie maker is very limited regarding the number of simultaneous audio tracks available. Typically, post audio is performed on a dedicated platform, most often pro-tools although there are other...

Whew! I was worried you might say they show up with a SD442 and 4 channels of lectro as well as what you listed. Thanks for the reply.

Man, that's cheap. No offense, if you can get it for that low, go for it. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of gear do they show up with?

I'm not a fan of 3d. Between having to wear the glasses and the depth of field issues, I just don't find it very entertaining and in fact, find it unnatural to view. I don't think it will go away, but I also don't think non 3d movies and shows will go away. There are still some great...

The issue of copywright infringement has NOTHING to do with profit or intent, it has to do with reproduction and disttribution without permission. According to your approach, it's not stealing unless someone catches me and complains. Your point about the internet and "safety measures" makes...

I understand. And of course you'd have no problem with others taking your footage and using it in their own work without permission and/or credit. And while you think it's "Okay" based on your use, according to the law, and ethically, it is not okay. I have to say that your lack of ethics in...

Interesting! Of course, as a sound guy, I've gotta ask.."Did you get permission to use that music?" If not, you are in violation of copywright. Kind of a pet peeve of mine

Exactly! Just like the idea of right and wrong.
