A couple of questions about sound recording a conversation in tv-film or serial??
If I want to record a conversation between 3-4 characters standing close together in a scene...
First question, if I am using more than one mic what is the best sound mixer out there I should aquire in order to input all the mics in and then export them to the camera?? Second question, what are the best boom-mics out there with a good price on them that you recommed purchasing?? Cheers... |

Shoulder to shoulder close?
Inside, outside, on a set, in a regular room? How tight is the shot? Can I get a boom within 6 inches of their heads without it dropping into frame? Do the talent all have similarly loud (or soft) voices? Inquiring minds want to know. 3-4 people close together on 3-4 lavs usually results in a phase mush. You could try split tracking 1+3 and 2+4 to reduce mushing. If you had an external 4-track recorder, you could take each person's mic to a separate track and deal with it in post. Or...my favorite approach. If I could get close enough (6 inches) I'd probably go with one boom and a Schopes cmc641. If the dialog is very frantic (Different people talking quickly) getting good boom position is a challenge. Then I'd think about two booms and split tracking. Regards, Ty Ford |
