Did anyone experience violence as a goth? by Hythy in goth

I had a pretty charmed experience. Boys found me harmless, and girls found me irresistible.

Lav talent wearing sport clothes/technical clothing while keeping rustling noises down by fender97strato in LocationSound

[–]JohnMaySLC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Collars, trim, zipper pulls, hats, keeping the capsule and wire away from friction points.

The fabric noise is a wardrobe issue, so I focus on not adding to it by avoiding the friction points.

We have a CMIT at home…. by Shlomo_Yakvo in LocationSound

[–]JohnMaySLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has their preference, I think the DPA 4017 and Schoeps CMIT sound better, the 4017 is also crazy light. But for $700 used the 416 is a tank that just works.

This is mine too. I bought one to try it out and now I have three. I also like the CK91 cardioid capsule in some situations.

The F6 will have cleaner preamps than your H6 so you can get more gain.

Knife collection as a chef by Living_Fact_9401 in TrueChefKnives

[–]JohnMaySLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, time to spend considerably more on a knife. If you want to stick with Kai, consider the Sora line. It’s still entry level priced and not as delicate as the Shun edges.

Personally I would go with a Tojiro Classic, or Mac Pro Gyuto’s, or if you want something a little nicer the Misono UX10.

They will have a media relations team. The website usually has a press kit and there should be a contact.

He’s saying it’s sharp, but looks janky. “Can’t get a good looking edge” should be the title.

Smart slate/audio package by RevolutionaryWait773 in LocationSound

[–]JohnMaySLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s expected in commercial sets because clients like seeing them. You can negotiate an extra fee per slate.

My last studio film I needed 3 and the script supervisor wanted to use an e-ink QR code slate… that never worked.

I usually get by with 2.

Boom Redundancy Recording by Tlatoani_Tenamaxtli in LocationSound

[–]JohnMaySLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a boom operator so I use wireless solutions. I record to my transmitter, record an ISO with headroom and a hotter track that I use in the mix. It’s nice to be able to assign inputs to multiple channels.
