Anyone film dialogue a lot and use clipon mics? I need 2 of them and in the budget or $20 to $200. I want to stay near $50 and $100. Any good quality mics? Diologue sounds horrible when using only a camcorder.
I'm not an audio guy but I didn't know Lavs are the normYes. "Clip on" microphones are the norm. Usually called Lavalier Mics.
lav mic on every actor with a boom swinging
Great for a show with a budget.Yes sir. Every gig I use a lav mic on every actor with a boom swinging.
What advice do you have for someone with only the budget
for a mic to improve over their on camera one?
If you're shooting solo, you're going to be screwed if you're on a limited budget.
no suggestions
other than you're screwed?
Looking forward to hearing from soundslikejoe.
Not ignored.There are suggestions. I hate to see that you ignored them.
But I think of it like this: Need a good drone. Anyone film a lot and useThink of it like this: How do I get an aerial establishing shot without a drone, without a budget for helicopter/stock footage? You don't.
I'm not an audio guy but I didn't know Lavs are the norm fro recording dialogue on a movie.
Great for a show with a budget.
So no suggestions at all for a mic shooting solo on a limited budget other than you're screwed?
Still haven't seen a suggestion of a mic from you.
Sfoster, I do. How does the 70D record multiple audio tracks (3 or 4). In the 60D, it did something really stupid. When you recorded two mono tracks, it'd record them as separate wav files, though as soon as you hit 3, it'd force you to have one of the files as a stereo track with left being one iso and right being the other. It was a real drawback of the unit. Is this still the case with the 70D?
What's the battery life like with a single 48 phantom power draw?
Is it a cheap build or does it feel sturdy with this model? Would you be confident it'd survive a fall?
In 2004 a film called Primer won the grand jury prize at sundance. The film maker had no appreciation for production sound and a lot of it was unusable. But he did the ADR himself and he edited it syllable by syllable, by himself on his home computer.
It seems that according to the professionals you're screwed. Long,Anyone film dialogue a lot and use clipon mics? I need 2 of them and in the budget or $20 to $200. I want to stay near $50 and $100. Any good quality mics? Diologue sounds horrible when using only a camcorder.
