Re: How Many Bags and Total Weight Follow You.

For solo traveling, I've got a setup that works with one backpack. I use the original LowePro 250 AW. Looks like they've updated it...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Beautifully done on all levels!

Given that the performers and conductor all had music stands, the mic stands were completely unobtrusive. Yes, we notice the mics as we're into the gear, but the...

Re: Time lapse - potential issues and solutions?

This sounds like the challenges people have with timelapses of receding glaciers. You might identify and reach out to them. The difference is that they don't have to deal with the people element. I'd...

Re: Right mic for a studio??

Anybody who has held a long boom pole for many takes of a long scene knows the value of that photo. :)

I've done a number of interviews with a mic on a fixed boom, but it only works well for...

Re: Right mic for a studio??

For invisibility, good sound, and no extra boom ops, you can't beat a lavalier.

That said, I think there's a reason that the pros don't bother hiding them on studio shows. You can't predict what...

Re: Right mic for a studio??

Richard is right to ask for more details about your requirements. And his questions are just right: 1) visibility, 2) use case, 3) distance, and 4) environment.

Still, I'll jump ahead and give a...

Re: Relevance of drop-frame time code in modern video ...

Drop frame time code exists due to the fractional frame rates. And to be pedantic, the correct rates in 60 Hz regions is 24/1.001, 30/1.001, and 60/1.001, rather than 23.976, 29.97, and 59.94. This...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

The one place where I have "wheeled and dealed" is lenses. I started off with, well, the wrong lens for my needs. I then got a Nikon lens to EF mount adapter and had an extended loan of some old...

Re: Canon developing 8K video camera

You can always get a softer image from high resolution. The inverse isn't true.

Having seen 8K a number of times, I think the main advantage is in the display where the pixels seem to disappear...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Paul, great point about the hand clap. You don't have to buy or rent it, and you'll never forget to bring it along. :)

I would imagine that with an assistant (or whomever is handy), it would be...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

I don't have expertise at that level, but it's more of an art than a science. There are some guidelines, like not recording mid-way between the front and back wall due to cancellation issues, but it...

Re: Canon developing 8K video camera

I don't believe that 8K, in and of itself, would limit the result to a film or video look. If anything, 8K would be able to show film grain (maybe added in post) with liquid accuracy. As others have...

Re: How Slow Can I Go....

In general, slow it down to 24 fps or 30 fps. With 30, there's no "judder" as you're just repeating frames. With 24, you get a film like judder with 2, then 3 frames repeating. Any slower than 24 and...

Paul, I totally understand your thinking. There's always that moment after finishing a shoot with a rental where you realize that you need to return the thing on Monday morning. My head, the corners...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

When I bought my NT1A, I figured that it was a temporary thing. I needed a studio vocal mic and it fit my budget. I'd eventually need to upgrade... except I didn't. It's clean signal makes it a...

Re: Canon developing 8K video camera

One surprising thing about 8K - even on an 85-inch screen - is that if you view it up close and the camera is moving through space, one perceives a 3D effect. Yeah, we get this anytime that the...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Great choices!

I know it's water under the bridge, but you might reconsider having wanted to avoid renting. I hate burning money with rentals too, but this job seemed like the perfect candidate:...

Re: Canon developing 8K video camera

Don't be too surprised. There is a big push in Japan to have 8K broadcasts on the air in time for the 2020 Olympics. NHK has been demonstrating it for a few years at NAB as "Super Hi-Vision". 8K is...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

M+S and X-Y are the safest approaches, as they're co-incident. You won't have to worry about phasing issues that come about from spaced mics. M+S is the safer of the two, as you can go mono and add...

Re: Sub $200 lens for C100

Perfect! I had forgotten about that announcement. Same glass. Better mechanics. STM focusing. This and the 24 would be the perfect pair.
