Field Audio Recording DVD

Today’s home entertainment systems can have 6 or more separate channels of sound. This gives videographers the opportunity to impress their audiences with an amazing audio experience. Impressing your audience with great sound is impossible if you do not have good quality audio to begin with. There are many challenges videographers can face when recording audio outside of a studio environment. We have prepared this DVD from our weekly vidcast series to prepare you for those challenges.

In this DVD, our editors prepare you with the knowledge and skills you need to record high quality audio with boom, lavaliere and wireless microphones. Be ready to record live events and interviews. Our experts share their insights and ideas gained from years of experience in recording audio for video in the field.

Watching DVDs is an effective and enjoyable way to learn videography. You will be very glad you watched this one when you are ready to edit your video with the clean, clear audio recordings you learn how to capture in this DVD.

This DVD is a collection some of our best segments on field audio recording from Videomaker’s weekly tips and tricks series. It includes 10 segments on how to capture or create the sounds you need to enhance your video.
