studiomprd Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Vitaly: " ....and so on. " Maybe you should introduce yourself, and tell us something about your background, and so forth... there is a thread here called "Who I am..." where folks do that. I don't mean to sound snobby, but this is a professional forum and discussion group. sounds like you need to do some reading... there is lots, and lots of excellent information on this forum, and... Jay Rose has just published the book you want: Recording Great Sound... 4th edition... www.dplay.com this book is also discussed in a current thread on this group. an additional book might be Rick Viers' Location Sound Bible at www.mwp.com sorry, but I'm not going to do your homework for you, you will have to figure out how to search for what you need; I'll say that you need to try a variety of different search terms sometimes. in Google, if the first search term is jwsoundgroup.net then Google will search this site for your terms. go ahead...

Jim Feeley Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hi! thanks for your answer. i`m new on this site, so im not so good in searching on it. Go to the home page for this forum. In the upper-right corner SEARCH box, enter the text "car." In the results, scroll down a bit and you'll see a recent detailed discussion of some options. Scroll down some more, or try different search terms, for more. If you want still more results, search on Google. And either before or after your search terms enter: site:jwsoundgroup.net The "site:" text tells Google to limit results to only those on this forum.

Jeepers Mike, you're a great guy in person but your responses here frequently run ahead of yourself. If you go to the home page, "Forums" is selected by default. As you'd know if you checked before you posted. And note that I provided information on how to get the best responses out of Google. Rob, are you talking about that weird redirect from a Google search to some fake-o urlinfo (or some such) website? For me at least, that problem's gone away recently (I think because of some specific efforts Jeff made). Or are you bumping into another problem?

Jeff Wexler Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm fairly confident that I have solved the shortURL re-direct problem. All of the testing I have done all this last week have not experienced any re-directs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Mills Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 ok.. as far as mics.. many of us use Sanken Cubs attached to the car ceiling and visors with furry windscreens.. Mic the car, not the talent. and even recent epic car chase franchise movies of a title you certainly would recognize place the recorder in the car preset, and have it unmanned... they do use wireless monitoring to get a sense of what is being recorded, when possible.

pkautzsch Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 place the recorder in the car preset, and have it unmanned... they do use wireless monitoring to get a sense of what is being recorded, when possible. Last week we shot two actors in the back seat, cam from front passenger seat. Two KM 185 mounted to the backs of the front seats, two lavs. That day my job was more about setting the 788 up in a way it would do a great auto-mix. It did, and it usually it preferred the KM 185s over the Cos-11. Just like I would have. We listened in the follow car radio over a small FM transmitter fed by a Sennheiser IEM, and had walkie connection back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Mills Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Throw a couple of those in the visor: http://www.pro-sound.com/p/SPETOMNI.html Or try a boundry mic: http://www.sanken-mic.com/en/product/product.cfm/1.1005000 Exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Wow nice work. What the heck caused it? It can happen when evil spirits get into the DNS servers. I try to use a 3rd-party DNS server like Google's, which generally does not run into weird URL redirects. As to the o.p.'s question: I'm convinced there's an entire detailed book on the location sound mixing process here on this forum, including four or five detailed discussions on micing people in moving vehicles. It'd just be a question of gathering up all the specific URLs on each specific subject and posting the list as a permanent reference. Heck, you might even be able to excerpt all the text and literally write a book using this source material. But you'd have to track it all down first.

afewmoreyears Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 But...then everyone could be a Sound mixer... It has to be harder than that..one must labor through at least searching for the information... Heck, why not print it all out and send out flyers ..LOL. No really... The info is all here... You just have to simply look...search...read... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've said it many times on other topics, that reading how is not the same as doing it on the day. That's called experience. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McL Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 The longer I do cars, the more redundancy I employ. Found myself finally at peace with the car rig process just this job we wrapped earlier today. Took me more than 20 years to get there. Good luck XOXOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisnewton Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Just had a shoot with a travelling shot in a van. camera in back seat, me too. Very bumpy back country gravel road. driver's window had to be open for script reasons.only shooting one passenger at a time. my preferred method is Sanken COs-11s on the visors or a Schoeps from underneath. no go in this situation. wound up using a 416 from underneath. usually not my favourite for this situation, but it cut through the best. tons of low frequency for post to fix, but the voices were just fine. kind of liked there being just me and the cameraman in the back seat (both of us wore seatbelts). slated it myself. follow vehicle had Comtek feed run into vehicle's stereo system. no video feed. sound ruled this one.

ALVIN Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 yes chris , very similar to what i did. 2 lavs were just too much background noise. the trouble was ; it started raining and one of the arris fell off the bonnet (hood) !!!!! the 'talent' kept driving! same shoot where i got soaked to the skin, even wearing the ''proper'' clothing, the batteries went flat in the nagra and we had to share r/mic channels with the independents , just up the road not a good day !
