Some people on here talk about how the plug microphones into a sound mixer than and mix the sounds as they shoot. But how do you do that? Isn't it better to just record the sound of the scene, then do all the mixing in post?
I can't take it anymore. Too many questions, not enough doing.
Also known as signal vs. noise, which is a really important concept in sound recording.The louder the recording, the quieter the background noise.
How about you first learn how to shoot a scene that cuts together well? Most people fail at this seemingly simple task on their first attempt, because it ain't nearly as simple as it sounds.
I heard it's alot easier if you shoot it on The Red.
I second CF's sentiment... shoot something, screw it up... then fix the problems one by one until you finally have a piece that seems to have all the bits in place... it's a tedious process, but your first 2-5 shorts will suck. All of ours did, it's just unavoidable... spielberg's did too.
Never be afraid to do and fail, so long as you're willing to learn from the mistakes.
I just make like a 5 minute long sequence in modplug tracker, match it up to the timeline in the video editor by adding or subtracting the difference in minutes and seconds, and switch between programs back and fourth, raising and lowering the volume and pitch until I get things the way I want them.
LMMS lets you play with equalizers and fx and such, but for quick edits modplug tracker works well for volume and pitch.
If you turn up the tempo to like 500 you can get everything down to the millisecond, just about.
Well I am already on way to filming my first short with my DP. I feel that it's a waist of a script if it's going to suck but I guess I could use the same script again once I get better.
