Hi, I'm currently in postprod atm, and realized that I need to grab extensive amount of foley sounds. There's no dialogue in it, but I would like to capture outdoor ambient, footsteps, whispers, humming. So it looks like I would need mic for outdoor & indoor usage.
I've debated on hiring a sound recordist for this, but I think it would be interesting to grab the gears myself & learn the craft a bit for future reference.
There isn't liberal amount of budget, I'm shooting for $1k ~ 1.5, just as basic kit for doing foley in the future & possibly ADR, VO. Please let me know if you guys think this is a good basic kit for that purpose.
Audio-Technica AT4053B Hypercardioid
$600
Audio-Technica AT897
$230
Marantz PMD661
$650
Windscreen, SD card, Carrying case
$100
Thanks! cheers
EDIT: oh and I should add, I'm not looking into becoming a sound recordist; I'll always look to have a dedicated professional at the shoot. This is more for grabbing additional supplementary sounds for post, or doing voiceover or minor ADR work. So I probably don't need a boom, or other things like that...
