Hello fellow filmmakers!
Our film club is in the process of learning and growing and working our way towards our first production. I have experience in filmmaking and working in the industry, however where I fall flat is audio recording, especially outdoors. I have been watching some tutorials, and have tried some techniques to no avail. We are filming outside with a Sennheiser MKE 600 shotgun mic, recording to a Tascam DR-40. We are picking up everything, and not even a glimmer of hope of taking it out in post. We have the mic pointed directly towards the actor, and using a dead cat on a boom pole, no more than 3 feet away from the talent. I have switched low cut audio on, and have the recorder set to cancel out anything below 40. Not sure what else to try.
Thank you,
Peter
