Hey Guys!
So I have big project coming up that I will be doing a lot of traveling for. I will be OMBing it.
The shooting locations will primarily be high-altitude, cold environments, probably mountainous.
I will be using a SD 664 for recording. My other gear includes and ME66, 2x Senn G3s with a B6, and TL40 lavs. I will be renting a Rycote zeppelin system as well.
Primary cameras will be DSLRs (5d), and a high speed camera as well.
The content will be primarily single subject interviews of athletes documentary style. So the interviews will take place indoors and outdoors in a variety of conditions. There may be action shots also of the athletes in their element.
My goal is to capture clean, wind free dialogue (obviously), but also capture some nice ambience of the environments we will be shooting in.
The production company has an Audio Technica BP4029 Stereo/MS Shotgun that they are going to let me use as well. Anyone have experience with these kinds of microphones?
A few questions:
-Any ideas on some wireless systems that might perform better under these conditions? I hardly trust my G3s.
-Good stereo mic to rent for ambience?
-Any tips on keeping the gear working in cold temperatures?
-Does cold weather affect the life of NP1-style batteries?
I just want to prepare my self as best as possible for this shoot. Anything helps!!
Thanks
