Thx, Alcove! Incredibly helpful as always! I did just because it was the highest quality. I won't pretend like I had another reason. Is 96 overkill?

Low battery has definitely been an issue before, and replacing the batteries helped immensely when it happened. I'm not the one operating; I have another person for that. They're, fortunately, pretty aggressive with getting good sound. They always make sure try to hug the frame line and are...

I'm a little underwhelmed with my Ntg-2/H4n combo. I need to be at 100 recording level, and still I'll get -18 to -12 db, and the sound is a little artificial and muddy. I was wondering if there is a good upgrade i could get for $500 or under that could improve my sound quality/sensitivity...

Awesome, thanks for all the help!

Right on! I'll be sure to check out the tutorials. If I were to learn on resolve lite, do you think the info would be applicable to after effects?

I know it's a very very dense discipline, but I was wondering where do I start if I want to learn how to color grade a film? Any highly recommended books or videos? I heard about "The Tao of Color", but it seems to apply only to people grading on DaVinci Resolve, which I can far from afford...

I'm working on a no-budget feature, and we've hit a wall with laving up talent. I've had some fantastic help in regards to audio, but I still cannot for the life of me prevent the lavalieres from making noise from contact with clothing. I've tried having a shirt underneath and over the lav...

shoot, that's sounds awesome! Thanks for the tips, you probably just saved us from a lot of grief and reshoots there.

what's sonic set prep?

Thanks for the vid, Alcove Audio. That info is super helpful! I talked with the other guys, we looked into the quality of the 88, and mixed with the ntg-2, it'll do well. thanks for all the help guys!

Thanks for the help! I'll definitely check out the AT Pro 88. I'd love to rent the G3, but 2 at 50 a day comes out to 100 a day, and probably 1500 by the end of the production. I couldn't afford that. Just for my edification, what headaches would come with going cheaper than the Pro 88...

Hiring would not work too well, unfortunately. We're shooting with a tiny, committed crew, nobody's getting paid, and we're only shooting on a crazy schedule that consists mainly of weekends. We want to do it this way, so that we can reduce the pressure of traditional narrative moviemaking...

I'm prepping for essentially a no-budget film, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the best bang for the buck audio setup. I'm sure it's a frustrating topic, as production gear in other areas has very much a "you get what you pay for" nature when it comes to quality. Thus, asking a lot...

My apologies. I read that completely wrong. I thought you wanted an example of the video-ey look I was talking about, but not shot on a DSLR. The more I look at it, I think it may not have been the movement of the subjects, but rather the camera shake. There's a more video-esque camera...

These are fantastic! Thanks for letting us benefit from all your hard work learning the craft.

You bet. Here's one I found shot w/ a Panasonic HPX170. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apCUexl_AkI

DSLR definitely won't be interchangeable with a RED or an Alexa; I'm definitely not expecting that. I'm just talking about one being more film-like then the other strictly in terms of how the motion that doesn't have that ultra-smooth video characteristic. Do you think it was just ramped...

Hi, I noticed DSLR footage can look filmic when doing landscape shots or macro, but as soon as you get to footage of people, it often time stops looking filmic and starts having that video look. To me, it comes out especially in the way people move; it's too smooth (unless people crank up the...

I've wanted to get a large LCD TV to plug into my Macbook Pro, so that I could edit a little easier. After some research, I kept reading is that it's suicide to try and color correct on it. And that even using my laptop screen or an Apple Cinema Display was still not good enough (even if I...

Ah, I see. I was looking for a different setup for around the same price. What would people say about this one? 3X Redheads: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Photo-Video-Studio-Continuous-Red-Head-Light-800w-NEW-/170749355184?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c17464b0 3X Light Stands...
