  1. Thanks so much for all the replies. We've just wrapped up the shoot and fair to say that we survived without any major setbacks. I just want everyone to understand that as much as we wanted to do all the set up and use all the equipment you mentioned, sadly we simply just can't afford. It's a different scenario here. It will all start from the budget which the audio department doesn't really paid so well. To say that we should not get the job if the production cannot afford to get us the equipment, or pay us enough so we could get the equipment that we want is not as easy as it may sound. It may also mean you let the food slip off your table. The producer can simply look for the other to do it, and it could be worst, and you'll be sorry. We just have to be creative and work within what is given. I'll be sharing the show here once it is aired already. Once again, thanks to all who shared their knowledge, skills and sarcasm, haha. Cheers!
  2. Hi Wandering Ear. Can I have a copy of the contract/waiver which I can make reference? Or anybody here? Thank you.
  3. Thanks so much Marc. We'll add that to into our considerations.
  4. Hi Marc, Please share your opinion on this. Thanks.
  5. Thank you so much for all the replies here. Very informative at the same time scary. Sad to say we don't have the luxury of all the equipment you have here in the Philippines. Those equipment are on my dream list (not even my wish list). And with the budget that we have, we simply cannot afford it. We are aware of the difficulties of having hardwired to the cameras. We have laid down the ideal set up but the producers chose to do the wired thing. This is something we discussed with them already so we set some limitations and they are willing to work within it. Sometimes, we just have to work within what's given. It's a different scene here. We also understand all the risks. Your comments help to remind us and be ready further for all the challenges that will arise. There will be 2 of us who's doing sound supervision. I have 14 years of experience in film, TV and commercial productions, started out as soundman to editor, cinematographer and have directed a few personal short films. I have focused on cinematography for the last 6 years with a bit of sound recording/mixing projects on some occasions. The other sound supervisor is almost 20 years in production purely as a soundman. He did some National Geographic documentary projects shot here in the Philippines. He was my supervisor when I started as soundman on TV 14 years ago. This is the first time we are doing this run and gun sort kind of thing. Pretty much we have the experience but we don't have the desired equipment. So, thank you for all the advice. Keep the info flowing. I appreciate even the sarcasm. :-) Good luck to us. You're the best guys. :-)
  6. Hi everyone. We are shooting a reality (cooking with challenges) TV show next week. I'm gathering all needed information, techniques, advices in order to make everything smooth. I'm assembling 9 soundmen. We are using PSC Promix6 and Azden FMX42 for the mixers, Sennheiser SK 3063 and EK 3241, G2's and G3's for the lavs and Sennheiser MKH 70, MKH 60 and ME66/K6 for the boom mics. We are shooting in the Philippines. It's a cooking/reality/challenge show. Challenges will include river rafting, ATV rides among others. There might be lot of running, following the contestants. We are wired directly to a Canon C300 camera. The producer doesn't want a separate recorder since it will take so much time in syncing in post. I would appreciate any bits of peices of advises, share your experiences in similar situations. If you have links to articles or videos that we could watch, I will greatly appreciate it. Most of my concern are the techniques in rigging lavs to the contestants as they will have a lot of movements, sweat, heat and moisture (in their body as well as the sorroundings). I bought some hushlav but I still have to do some test in on how to use it efficiently. If you have images to share, that would be great. Thanks so much and have a great day. Cheers!
  7. Awesome! Thanks so much guys for the info. I can't wait for the Alexis to arrive. Another great mixer from PSC.
  8. Hi. I have 2 PSC Promix 6. I like it so much. I wonder why it was discontinued. I'm looking for articles about it but couldn't find one. Anybody knows why? Thanks.
