watch "Out of Context" - First video

[Revvd Media]

Hey IndieTalk!

I haven't been as active as I would have liked over the last month or so, but it's just been busy, busy as most can probably relate.

Each production I make I try to improve, and this one is no different. I'd really appreciate any feedback on this video regarding anything really. My biggest nemesis seems to be a combination of audio quality and video noise/quality. Of course video is mainly technical video limitations and whatnot. The audio, I'm not sure what the problem is. I just never seem to get "great" vocals no matter how I adjust the EQ. I monitor while recording, set the mic as close as possible, aimed towards the adam's apple, or wherever sound best when monitoring.

Gear used:
Canon 7D, used at 400-800iso depending on light, 1080 24p
Canon 15-85 EF-S, used at 3.5 to 5.6 aperture, usually run wide open
Rode VideoMic Pro plugged into a Zoom H1, recorded at 320kbps MP3 (I could and should start recording WAV?)
800W 5500k 24" x 18" softboxes w/CFL bulbs (up to 3)
Nexxtech Tripod
DIY Tripod Dolly

Buff guy in the hat reminded me of Julian from Trailer Park Boys.

Audio seemed fine to me, could have been just a tad bit louder, but it did the job.

Liked the concept, pretty funny situations.

Thanks for the critique

I think my major issue with the audio is pretty much summed up in how you state it: "fine."

I would like to get my vocal tracks sounding "great," but it seems no amount of effort in the recording stage or post production gives me a result I'm truly happy with. Maybe I just have no idea what I'm doing.
