New Rode NTG-3 Shotgun on a PMW-EX3

Andy Wilkinson · September 21st, 2009, 04:22 PM

Sorry for reviving an old thread but it seemed a better idea than starting a new one just to say I had to film an interview of the top man of a very large multi-national corporation today in a wonderful environment (for both visuals and sound) using my Rode NTG-3. He wanted listen to the takes immediately after each one as we worked to perfect his lines of delivery.

He immediately noticed the clarity and totally realistic sound that my (static boomed) Rode NTG-3 was getting (as well as the beautiful picture from the PMW-EX3!). I've been using this combo for over a year now and it still blows me away! Anyway, the bottom line is that he got a very good impression and, as a result, more video work for me is now already in discussion with this company.

So you see, these things do get noticed!

Great post there Andy, and a clever driver is the key.

There are some people with careers who never get that level of job satisfaction, in post one great edit can make your day.

Cheers.
