Christian Film Production Tips :
Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? Sorry I delayed till today, I needed to load this picture to explain some things.... I directed an advert few days ago for a client, and we recorded sound at a very noisy place which is the situation we find ourselves atimes. I know that some of you who are into production must have had same experience on the field.

An elderly American who has been following this post commented last week that shoeps microphones are the industry standard in US which I agreed with and explained to him that the price of that microphone is too high for some people in Africa. Though even in US, people use sennheiser microphone and high end rode microphones. But the best shot gun microphone is shoeps. Based on research, and experience of those who have used it before, they testified that that microphone is the best compare to the rest. Google it yourself, and you will see that the price for a good shoeps mic is higher than the price of most cameras we use in africa, since our major cameras are now dslr.
We currently have four boom microphones, two long gun sennheiser me 67, one shot gun sennheiser mkh 416, and another shot gun mic. Why do we have this? In Holywood, most movies are shot with more than two microphones. The purpose of those microphones are different. Shot gun microphone especially the good one like sennheiser mkh 416 and shoeps can capture clean audio from 20 people sitting round the table with a good field mixer. It has wider range of coverage compare to the long ones like ME 67. While the Long gun microphones can capture and narrow the range to a particular person or spot even on a long range. But these microphones cannot work alone without the wind shield. So today I will like to talk about how to record a clean sound in a noisy place.
First is to try to do your shoot in a quiet place. Secondly, you can approach whoever is making the noise politely and plead that you are shooting a film. Thirdly, check the place out before you go on set since proper preparation prevent poor performance. Next, go with all that you can to give you great audio. If you check out one of these pictures, you will see where the boom swinger was holding the boom microphone on the fish pole. There was so much noise at that venue, but because the client also want little ambience on the dialogue, we went there with sennheiser ME 67, a blimp and its windshield which some called deadcat. This will keep away the wind and cut off most of the noise. The fact that we used ME 67 which has ability to narrow its coverage to the talent on set made it good for us. We used the mixer to also gain down the noise and we got the microphone close enough without disturbing the shot. With this, we were able to do a good job with our multi cam shoot.
I share the same date with my senior boss Shola Mike Agboola, so give a shout out to us tomorrow 9/9 as we add another year.
