This is going to be my first video shoot, but I have enough experience (lots of photography and sound recording tech through college) to make me think I'll be able to fumble my way through it. I had considered getting an h4n and a boom, but I wasn't sure if I'd have an extra set of hands to help out. I'm only bringing one video camera and one stills camera (both dslr's) and one on-camera rhode condenser, but I do have another idea. I could bring along one of my backup laptops from the stack, install Audacity on it, and bring out my FireStudio with some mics. If you're up for recording some audio, it'd be a big help while I capture some video b-roll. The only problem I see with that is supplying power, but I'm betting the campground must have an outlet available SOMEWHERE that we could set up a small interview chair. I'll probably only bring a USB condenser for that, but it's provided me with better-than-adequate results many times in the past without having to worry about phantom power or damaging it.Ryed wrote:drummingpariah, I was a location sound engineer in a previous life. I sold my gear many years ago, but glad to help you out with sound or general PA stuff. I'm a new hillclimber and would be glad to help get some documentary style footage. It would be invaluable to have some "behind the scenes" footage.
Let me know if that interests you, it could be a good excuse to pick some of the old-timers' brains for whatever good advice is rattling around up there
(not kidding about the stack of laptops part)
Sounds like my kind of party. Should I bring along a bottle of bourbon to coerce some good stories out of people?walterclark wrote:You havent seen one of Jeffs campfires...Visible from space if it's a chilly night.
