Re: Audio for a Kiddies Stage Play
When I think of a mic on a stand for young kids in a play, I think of a Peanuts TV special with Linus walking up to the mic to say something heartfelt and profound.
That's less likely to happen...

Re: Traveling Lens
It depends. What do you want to create? What's your style? Will you shoot at night? Handheld? Tripod?
The 17-55 is great for "human scale" video with actors, but might not be ideal for traveling....

Re: Killer (and practical) Teleconference Audio
That's a sweet, little interface! And I see that it has a headphone output, so it could do double duty - USB into the PC and analog into a mobile phone. I've got a juicedlink preamp for analog, but...

Re: Killer (and practical) Teleconference Audio
I forgot to mention the possibility of a large diameter condenser mic. You can fly it just above and in front of the forehead and keep it just out of the field of view. LDC mics are thick and heavy,...

Killer (and practical) Teleconference Audio
In my job, I do a lot of meeting by phone and video conference. I'm wondering if there is a *great* solution that leverages equipment that can also be useful for video production.
Because phone...

Re: Audio for a Kiddies Stage Play
My wife's church has the Bartlett stage mic, which is similar to the Crown.
Great solution. It's rugged, out of the sight line, well-positioned for small people who look down, and you can crank...

Re: Is C-Log coming to the 5D4?
There was one big exception: The "big" 5D2 firmware update.
Previously, we only had "auto" mode for video. We would cover the lens, then point it at the light, and hit the AE Lock button at just...

Re: Is C-Log coming to the 5D4?
That's right. And that's killer. You need to do 4K to get top quality. It's windowed, which is one drawback, and you can't record it externally, so you can't get the overlays, redundancy, etc.

Re: Sanken CS3e vs. Røde NTG-3
From what I've read, there is a lot of variability from unit to unit with the Oktavas, potentially due to unlicensed, lookalike stock.

Re: Is C-Log coming to the 5D4?
One correction on the 1080p output: It's 2nd generation awful 1080p. ;)
The first generation did line skipping and had horrible aliasing. The second generation (launched on the 5D3) does simple,...

Is C-Log coming to the 5D4?
That's what I hear. Possibly by NAB.
This could make the 5D4 a good b-cam for inter-cutting with Cinema EOS cams.
4K (yeah, windowed, but without anti-aliasing or softness issues; not far from...

Re: 85mm f/1.4 IS lens - real or fake?
I had forgotten about the Canon 85/1.2L II update. Focus is faster, but it's still focus by wire.
Yeah, an 85/1.4L IS would likely crowd into the same price range. But it might be a different use...

The Key to Eraserhead
Okay, it's not a film. It's a graphic novel. And it's about a film. Well, probably the greatest cult film ever.
Sunday, March 19th, 2017 is Eraserhead's 40th anniversary. That's the publication...

Re: Sanken CS3e vs. Røde NTG-3
A couple years ago, Sanken launched their CS2-R, which is a two-capsule, mid-length rear-rejection shotgun. Unfortunately, it's not placed well regarding price. For instance, it's a special order at...
