I am, for the most part, a musician and an amateur photographer. In about a week, I'm supposed to be recording an interview and acoustic session with a local band. This will be my first "real" video session, and I'm not expecting perfection, but I'd really like it to turn out quite good, as its going to be used to promote their new album. </p> <p>My equipment is:</p> <p>Canon Eos Rebel T3 DSLR</p> <p>(borrowed) Canon Rebel XTi DSLR (can't shoot video, I'll be using it for stills during the shoot)</p> <p>Zoom H1 Handy Recorder</p> <p>(borrowed) Zoom H4n Handy Recorder</p> <p>iMac w/ iMovie</p> <p>Audio interface and mics that I normally use for my music recording.</p> <p> </p> <p>My thought was to have the T3 on a tripod facing the band and me (the interviewer), and the H1 on a boom stand above it, at least for the interview part. For the performance, I was thinking probably the same thing, except I won't be in the video then, because I'll be photographing. I should probably have the T3 on autofocus (I would think?) since I won't be behind it shooting the whole time. I may use the H4n for audio, since I could then at least have vocal mics out or something, but it may not be necessary, and I think it probably would be simpler to just use the H1 for everything, unless there's a deep need for the H4n.</p> <p>Obviously my equipment isn't top of the line in any sense of the term, but I was wondering what advice you would have to make this session run as smoothly and professionally as possible. I'm going for an NPR Tiny Desk series kind of feel, if that helps at all.</p> <p>Thanks!!</p> <p>Alex</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mic-solutions-for-a-improv-shoot#post-66813 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:27:49 +0000 Justin 66813@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I work with a local improv team and tape there shows often. The group is struggling with getting a workable sound solution for when they do large venues. The team usually has 8 players per show and scene games are unpredictable so players are entering and leaving scenes often. I'm looking for something not too visible like lavs without wires thats kind of portable and could work with most mixing borders you would encounter in small theaters and clubs. If I'm wrong for thinking that route feel free to smack me around and get thinking in the right direction.</p> <p> </p> <p>I am a complete and total newbie when it comes to this stuff and I only record the shows because I have a decent camcorder that stumbled into owning.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for reading have a great day</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/concert-video-recording#post-64064 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:43:08 +0000 fracolon 64064@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Guys not a major concert (Want to head in that Direction) but I have been asked to video a new years event in South Beach.  A portion of the block will be blocked off and I am setting three cameras to cover this events.  Two are HD, one is SD.  My quesiton is the following since the event will happen at night.</p> <p>Best camera to use...I am considering the Panasonic AG-HPX370 mainly because I need rich colors.</p> <p>and speaking of colors how to make sure that in post I can enhance what is already there.  Since this is a small area I won't be using a Jib rather all cameras will be on tripods.</p> <p>I also need information on the post production of this event, as the event manager wants to sell the DVD, so I am not sure on the pricing for this events  So, the next question is what does a prince for such an event run?.  </p> <p>Thrid question is, It's live and but there will be post production work.  So I need to have an idea on getting the best live audio and and sync with the video.</p> <p>Currentlly I use Premiere as my editor.</p> <p>So, Best Cammera so concert event...Color is very important</p> <p>Pricing for such events</p> <p>Best method of getting the live audio...</p> <p> </p> <p>I can be email directly to <a href="mailto:francisco.colon@att.net">francisco.colon@att.net</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for anyhelp that you can provide....</p> <p> </p> <p>Frankie</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-setup-a-video-mixer-edirol-lvs-800-to-a-audio-mixer-and-broadcast-it-live#post-63709 Wed, 24 Nov 2010 01:52:26 +0000 huckinout 63709@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hello guys,</p> <p>i have a big question here, im so confuse regarding how im going to sync or broadcast and tepe my event or show having mg EDIROL LVS-800 video mixer and a generic audio mixer with a 4inputs. </p> <p>this is the situation, my Video mixer has 4camera and i have my 2 host with a lapel mic input on my audio mixer, how can i broadcast it? as sync? and tape it... i have a deck recorder dv recorder.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks so much guys.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-connecting-camera-wirelessly#post-58480 Tue, 11 May 2010 08:48:10 +0000 Andrew-C-Greer 58480@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey Guy's am new to this forum...</p> <p> </p> <p>Anyway, well I have a pro camera but I've wanting to brodcast a live event live via Ustream but I can't have cables running over the stage everywhere so i need to do it wirelessly!

I was recently hired on staff at a resort hotel to be a technical assistant. This establishment hosts several different presentations each year, and wants to purchase some video equipment. The need would be for our conference room, where there are already two projectors in place. What they are looking for is the ability to run 4 fixed cameras into some sort of switcher/mixer and be able to send it to the two projectors. I am absolutley new to the world of live video, so can someone guide me as to what equipment I will need?</p> <p>Requirements:</p> <p>- We handle a four camera system.<br /> - The display on the projectors has the ability to be a split screen showing of 2 of our cameras.</p> <p>I don't have any idea what kind of gear I would need for this... I assume a video switcher/mixer. Do I need seperate gear for the split screen ability? What switcher do you recommend? Are there other components I'm not thinking of (don't worry about offending me-- again, I know NOTHING.)</p> <p>� Thanks in advance!</p> <p> EDIT: Oh, and the ability to record, while nice, isn't a priority. Audio is also not an issue. This is all for the live viewing audience, in house.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/videomaker-to-review-panasonic-hmc-150-live-on-81908#post-39140 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:30:56 +0000 jburkhart 39140@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Panasonic has given Videomaker the scoop on the HMC-150, and we thought it would be selfish to keep it to ourselves.
