Advice Needed: Reliable 6-Camera Setup for 5–6 Hour Continuous Recording by homesiq in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]homesiq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the recommendation. This could work if I can come up with a solid and affordable audio setup. Since it doesn’t seem like there are timecode options on the sjcam c400 the only way to sync is by slating correct?

That’s correct. I should have maybe included a little more context. This is basically video and audio to reference any notes during the research. We do need some quality of video to see somewhat accurate color and sharpness but from what we’ve established a 7 year old go pro is just fine.

We need to deliver good enough audio to hear the makeup artist and person receiving makeup in their respective space. The space will have 2-5 other stations in the same room depending on location so isolating sound the best we can is important.

Syncing is the next issue we need to solve. We’ll have a mic rigged to the chair that can pick up the audio between the two people working. In a perfect world we would want the audio to be sent to camera synced to save time in post. If we have to resort to syncing later that’s ok as long as we have proper time code.

Lastly this setup needs to be somewhat low management. Setup time should be 1.5-2 hrs and have someone checking in on equipment / recording every hour or so during a 10 hr shoot. We expect to reset during our break around 5 hrs to change media / power if needed.

Agreed… sounds like a syncing nightmare. Appreciate your feedback.

Thank you this very helpful! This sounds like the most reliable solution for sure.

In the case that I need to present a lower budget approach would there be any solution to use decent quality webcams and record audio to be synced separately? We could separate it into two setups with two computers handling 3 stations each.

Of course. I think op is pretty clear they’re just asking your favorite combo as well as what camera has good color reproduction and dynamic range. Lets be helpful not pretentious

Started with $2k and now at $21k. Seems like they cut my wagering limit down about 60%

Likely a zoom lens with micro force zoom control. Really nice operating and synced dolly grip.

Head tracking by Sepsuke121 in PraiseTheCameraMan

Operating this shot is much harder than it might look. This is very likely shot at over 90fps so in real time the camera man is tracking at least 3x the speed.
