Alright here's the deal...so I have less than a month to get a short film shot and edited. I can only film on weekends and now I've run into a problem with my Sound Mixer.
I'm shooting the first scene this Saturday and my Sound Mixer is busy this weekend due to family problems, but will be free after that. Now I don't have a Sound Mixer to record my audio this weekend.
So now here are my options, either:
1. Replace old Sound Mixer with someone new that I haven't worked with before
2. Hold off on filming until next weekend, which leaves me with only 3 weeks to film and edit the entire short
3. Record on my Zoom H4N with a shotgun mic (my sound mixer uses a rode, however I don't have one) and hope that it works together with my Sound Mixers equipment.
My short consists of 4 different sets, and we will be filming all the scenes for 1 of them this weekend, so it's a large part for the short.
So what should I do? Which option should I choose?
