What's your favourite mic to use?

@nithinjoseBRUH 3 роки тому

The Boya Lapel mic,I totally love it.

@BrianArtka 3 роки тому

schoeps cmc641 as boom mic for interviews. Expensive as hell, excellent audio. Lesson: Invest in microphones, take care of them, they'll last you 10-20 years. (unlike everything else)

@ienpassi 3 роки тому

Love this video and tips. I have watch this episode in the art of documentary several times. And it helped me a lot. Thanks for the reminder

@markbone 3 роки тому

We love our schoeps shotgun 💯

@hugeitsu271 3 роки тому

I have a rode videomic go for when I lav people and a Deity Vmic V3 Pro on camera for R&G. I'm in the market for a XLR shotgun mic for my shiny new FX3 and I'm open to suggestions!

@Pfagnan 2 роки тому

One of my own tips gleaned from an audio engineer at CBC Television is if you find your lav too ‘present’ you can mix 2 mics in post. So you can set your lav at say 70% and your boom or shotgun at 30% and voila you can have the best of both worlds by adding some room sound. Play with the percentages…

I've only recently gotten into film making, just silly things with my friends. But, after realizing I really need a lav, I looked to UKposts for some help. This video answered just about every question I had, and then some I didn't even know I had. Thank you for taking the time to make this!

You’re welcome mate!

@jaredcollins-photo 3 роки тому

Love hearing more about audio. It's often the last thing to be considered when on set as a 1-2 man crew. I'd love to hear more about audio processing as well! He made several references to "you can fix it in post" so that would be neat to see some tips on as well!

Mark, you are a life saver. I have my first official documentary project coming up and you just happened to stumble into my recommended at the same time. I spent the last two days watching as many of your videos that I can and I have to say, the amount I have learned from you in just the last two days compared to ANY other documentary UKpostsr is second to none. These videos have made me feel so comfortable with what I’m going to be working with. I have no doubts if you keep this up you are going to dominate this platform in the videography/photography sector. I appreciate you so much Mark. I can’t wait to see you become a giant here.

@Audiotechnical 3 роки тому

Loved it! That was really useful. I've found mic-ing up corporate peeps before interviews with my Senheizer G3's always a rushed process, and kinda uncomfortable too, because I'm very much in their 'personal space'. I joke about it to ease the awkwardness, but the 'rustle' often becomes noticeable about 5 mins into interview! I must get some tapes. Been thinking about it for ages.Thanks!

@chrisnewton8418 Рік тому

That ball cap you are wearing can be an excellent place to hide a lav. Under the brim (which is black) use black gaff or paper tape to fix mic in place. Run the cable over the head and drop down the back of the shirt. Long hair will help hide the cable. No problem with head turns, as the hat moves with your head. Only works, of course, if the hat stays on!

@andreaswening Рік тому

Thank you for the honest review. I have the same feeling, from the construction and design the Rhino concept has many advantages compared to Edelkrone, but if the accuracy, repeatability etc. is not given it is useless. The hope is that it is only an software issue which could be fixed with a good develper.

Merci pour ces explication claires et pratiques. Je suis preneur de son pour des tournages depuis seulement 2 ans (anciennement preneur de son de studio pendant plus de 20 ans). Je rencontre des difficultés que je n'avais pas prévues. J'apprends tous les jours.

@teacherofteachers1239 Рік тому

I'm always learning, and I did learn the hard way that if the top surface of a cylindrical lav (no foam screen) touches a person's skin, the sound is virtually gone (the person's voice just sounds like a very, very low electrical murmur). Well, this happened with a Sony ECM-44B (shaped like the Sennheiser shown at 1:25), but later experiments showed it was not the mic's fault. I had let someone (in a t-shirt) mic themselves and just did not give the task the attention it deserved.
