Love the permaculture, but I worry that this comes across as quite colonial in that it's always foreigners (mainly USA) who buy up land in CR and develop businesses. What happens to the locals? Just providing service jobs for them doesn't cut it . Imagine if you were a US citizen living in the USA and all your local permaculture farms and business were Chinese or Russian, and these same people offered you menial jobs their businesses.

Hey guys me again. So I was thinking about the microphone issues, and how you interact with many different people on the farms, so a lav mic might not be the best. My newest thinking is just going full out and mount you’re Rode in a boom stand and have one of your guys hold it independent of the camera. I know it’s a huge change, and fairly unpractical but that might be the best solution for capturing all aspects of sound. Another option would be messing around with an Omni directional mic. A good one will be fairly expensive but that could help also. They do tend to have an odd whirling sound when you change the position though.

I used to run stand up comedy tours. for a vocal mic the Shure 58 was my favorite. Simple, affordable, reliable. But I have no idea how it handles outdoors - probably not great?
@11219tt6 жыл бұрын
Urban aquaponics sm58 is incredibly directional. I believe the pattern is super cardioid, not the best for capturing moving people and wide areas. It also requires being close to the mic to avoid funny sounds. Something with an Omni directional pattern might be better. The make some 4-in-1 cardioid mics that face in all different directions.
@kiwiwriter6 жыл бұрын
Thanks I appreciate the info. Explains why the 58 worked so well for me (cut out alternate noise) in pub and hall environments. Might have to get a new mic myself when I move into a bit of mycology/microbiology/permaculture teaching - that project will be both indoor and outdoor for most subjects. (mad scientist/comic/permie I can't wait hehe). Would two mics, one for each purpose, be better? Or do they have (affordable) mics that handle multiple environments?
@11219tt6 жыл бұрын
Urban aquaponics yea the sm58 and 57 are great for stage mics because they prevent feedback from monitors and speakers. They’re also great for drums for close range isolation of toms and snares. They’re also super durable so strangers night after night at a comedy club can get drunk and drop them :) Hmmm, for your question it depends on budget. You can buy clip-on lavaliere mics that plug into an iPhone for like $30 each. You can also get the wireless battery pack lavaliere mics (same style as the iPhone ones) and get one per person, then feed the receiver boxes to the camera or a separate recording device and sync the audio during editing. There are wide price range and quality of sound with these types of mics. Don’t be fooled by the 6 pack of mics for $50 at guitar center. They sound horrible and also can drop a signal from time to time. Another option is what’s called a shotgun mic. These are usually thin and long and very directional. These are the type used in movie sets with a big fluffy cover over them and a sound guy holding it in a boom arm. These are what you want if you have the budget for all of the accessories needed (including personnel) to operate. But if it will be an interview type style with one person at a time then the lavaliere mic might be the best option. This allows for range of motion and freedom for the people to move around. The only downside is you have to hook it on them and some people don’t like their personal space invaded. Another option is one mic mounted on the camera for capturing sound in the direction the camera faces (much like these videos) and the. A second mic either Omni directional capturing a wide range of sound or the shotgun mic and an operator for the overhead sound. Good luck and hope this helps!

Most indigenous populations suffered extreme hardship before learning sustainable practice. Deforestation, plague, famine, erosion and floods... common fare in history long before the industrial revolution. Stating permaculture is a natural extension of indigenous systems is, at best, questionable. I often meet people who take this misinformation and go on to state science (because big Ag science) is the problem. Ecology and environmental science is the basis of permaculture. Indigenous culture methods are adopted when they are sustainable, not by default. That said, indigenous gardening is our best 'library' of alternate methods and many traditional methods are not only viable, they're quite brilliant. I can be a bit of a dick about accuracy. Truths require vigilance, or they can get distorted, then they're discarded.
