Road Trip Shoot

Recommended Posts

See the USA in your Chevrolet....

So the deal is I have two talent in a car for 10-14 days.   My guess is

based on the nature of the shoot I'm going to have to wire the car up

(Sanken Cub's I'm thinking) and record onboard with a HDD (Sound

Devices 744 or 722) and also split this to onboard cameras (ala Taxicab

Diaries) and wirelessly feed the lead/follow car/van/semi/megatrailer.

Suggestions, ideas, good jokes?  I haven't used the Cub before but

everybodies write ups seem very positive.  The car will NOT be a

convertible (so far - Thank God) but of course there is plenty of time

for production to change their mind.  In the past I've used mostly

COS-11's attached to the visor, has anybody used the COS-22 in this

kind of situation??

Love any info or suggestions on what others have done.   Hey at least

it means I have things to look for at NAB right?

Be Well,

PS things I have thought about are, 1) No leather interior  2) Stuffing the trunk with blankets to reduce noise......  Antyhing else I should think of before we start?!

Good place to start.  Sooner or later you'll have to wire the actors too, as well as have a boom mic standing by.  Don't let them put you in the trunk.  Will you have to work car-to car ever?

I kind of want to cover my bases on both sides and split the mics to a local HD, Car to Car, and to what ever medium they are recording in car for the visuals,  that way I'm backed up on both ends.  But I am kind of concerned about not having control of the mics before the HD recorder. 

The trunk is a no way, even though it is a big car I'm #250 and to old for that kind of  #@%*!
