Re: Static damaged OST lav mic?
I would assume that as well, but it was working earlier that afternoon, and suddenly stopped without trauma. The only thing that changed was the static charge when I picked up the mic...

Re: Metabones Speed Booster
Their site says "All EF lenses," and suggests how to register "3rd party" zooms. So it is supposed to work, how well? I'll see once I get mine. I shoot a lot of outdoor, so i'm interested in how much...

Re: Rain Cover
Yes the rubbish bag works for emergency applications, I'd prefer a more durable design though. I'm a little surprised PortaBrace doesn't have anything available yet. Thanks

Re: Tascam dr100 eats batteries!
Yes, the thing eats batteries in phantom power mode. I ended up buying a phantom power supply (Denecke PS-1A) so I could leave it off with the tascam. Been working well since.

Re: How to get this look
Can't tell. Most likely it's a backdrop, then just "cheat" the talent for the insert shots. I'd prefer a large room/sound stage. Less claustrophobic that way :)

Re: How to get this look
Agreed. Probably backed off quite a bit though, It doesn't have the wrap around that a close large source would have.

Re: How to get this look
Strong hard light from the right, softer hard light (make sense?) from the left. simple. adjust for the insert shots as needed to make it feel consistant.
Looks like fresnels to me... hard to say...

Rent as needed until you do have enough for at least a little higher quality than the total knock offs on flea-bay. An Arri softbank kit in my area is $50 a day, well worth renting vs buying if you...
