judykarp Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I was on a doc with an Amira a few weeks ago and the cameraperson spent a lot of time shooting slo-mo. The camera said "Sound Disabled" and I was assuming that these were "B roll" type shots. I still boomed them but in a more "relaxed" manner, not reaching for every word, etc. We're doing the same kind of shoot tomorrow and the director informed me that they want the option of speeding slo-mo shots up to 24 fps and syching the sound to my card. I'm going into the camera via camera hop and recording on my 633. It's no problem for me to boom everything in my usual diligent manner, but is it possible for them to sync this sound and is it common practice to have the option to speed up slo motion shots?

Constantin Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 It's possible to sync, but they should use a slate. TC won't work. Speeding up is possible, but it looks weird, but maybe they can compensate. But they could also slow down your audio for a slo-mo fx, so I tend to always roll for slo-mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judykarp Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks to both of you. I'm not changing back and forth, especially since the slo mo vs normal speed switch is spontaneous and arbitrary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Anderson Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I still roll sound on slo mo shots. Post can always ramp the footage back up to 24 or even just remove every other frame to get back to 24. If the cameras roll off speed on dialogue, I try to get heads and tail slates.

judykarp Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks. That's what I used to do on features, indicating it on the slate but this is a lot less "controlled." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Something to be aware of is every time Amira changes back from slow mo the time code is wrong. So a jam box should be feeding it TC at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judykarp Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I figured that out last time, a little late. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 And they should clap the sticks, so that manual syncing is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Fairly common practice nowdays Keep recording and let post deal with it mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
