Hi all,
I have been asked to do sound on a 5D shoot.
- Mk2 or Mk3 (TBD).
- Sometimes a pair of 5Ds.
- It is documentary.
- We will shoot in Armenia.
- No post house on board yet.
- Editor not yet confirmed.
- Likely to stay like that until we return from Armenia.
- First production meeting Saturday.
I have some obvious concerns about sync.
- I have only one Lockit.
- My pair of Tentacle Sync boxes might not arrive by then.
So plan is: ERX on each 5D;
- 5D Left track - scratch mix (for PluralEyes)
- 5D Right track - TC (for AuxTC Reader)
For the interviews this seems fine (they will be boarded)
For the event coverage (marches, concert etc) where cams will cut & roll at will, I plan to roll a continuous take on Nomad, as much as possible.
I’ve downloaded trial versions of both programs to test the workflow, when I get my hands on a camera.
Questions:
- Could long audio and/or video takes cause problems with this sync set up?
- What is the appropriate way to pad down the TC for 5Ds mic level input?
- Any suggestions for improvements to this (provisional) system?
- Anyone done this before care to share their findings?
Many Thanks,
B
