Re: Audio advice for recording a lecture
Joe, since they have 4 mics I assume they have a board/mixer in place, I suggest speaking with the AV guy about getting a feed from the mixer to your camera.

Re: What to do when Weddings are Scarce?
I shoot Birthdays (Filipino 18th to be exact), they are as extravagant as weddings. Basically it is like a wedding shoot without the ceremony. Advertise on the local Filipino community newspaper in...

Re: Sweet 16 Videography Job - Recommendations ?
