studiomprd Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 " I actually usually hit the button several times " I agree, but consider a fixed burst for each tap, say 1/2 second, or 3/4 second, or 1 full second for each press...

Derek H Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I still think a momentary button would be easier to use (and more fun?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but wouldn't that involve adding a timer circuit/chip process to our simple box? More electronics, more development, more money..... in this case, I think most people are saying less is more. Great idea, BTW. This would be a fantastic middle ground for the hurried 5D shooting style. A DP I work with regularly just pushes the 5D button at will. I plead with him for the editors' sake. He says (into the camera mic while shooting...heh), "look up PluralEyes". Yes, I say, but that's for FCP, what if the edit is done on Avid? I think a bloop slate would be quick and dirty enough for him, while giving at least some help to post. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would not buy a blooper that operated that way. I want to decide how long each bloop is. I had a blooper that worked the way you mention in the early '80s (Frezzolini) and didn't like using it at all. Philip Perkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMansen Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I put mic connectors in the feed for my old and useful bloop light. ( it is on the project board to add a tone generator) It was great for interviews etc. since I could hand it to the AC or even the DP for him to bloop slate without having to change his shot.

michaela Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I had a director/dp say that to me two days ago. I looked at him and told him we're going to slate so there is no question in post. He didn't argue, although he did note that he was going to use PluralEyes, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadoStefanov Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I was just wondering has anybody noticed sound being a little faster then picture on the 5d? I always have to move the sound a few frames ahead. There is some kind of latency in the video processing... I had a director/dp say that to me two days ago.

studiomprd Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 maybe it has something to do with all the processing and compression that the picture goes through?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Waldron Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I agree. I am just wondering why nobody has noticed it. You would notice if you were the Director/Producer/DP/Writer/Editor...... but you are just a soundman, what would you know about this? My wish for Blooper slate... to have 4 channel ISO inputs on SDHC card..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Very funny.

RadoStefanov Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 What was funny was towards the end of the shoot the editor from LA called and said he would need a lot more money for syncing the sound. The producer straight up asked if $250 would cover ME syncing it. No problem. Easiest job in the world.
