You´ve gotta love Tom Holland teaching u the correct way of recording audio. Nice guide m8!

[@TheFilmLook]

Hey, thanks!

[@joshuamartinstudios]

Great example and tips guys! I tape around the end of my shotgun mic with a bright color gaffers tape (green or orange). It helps be to noticed the mic if my sound guy dips into my frame.

[@TheFilmLook]

Good idea! Will be using this in the future (Y)

[@joshuamartinstudios]

dope!

[@HackMyControlSystem]

Good advice, thx. We've been using our Sennhauser as main source with cell as backup and on cam audio as a reference. Synch audio is done via a clapper, which has a color chart taped to its back to help with white balance and color correcting.

[@TheFilmLook]

That's exactly how we do it now too.

[@RaxManlar]

This is so well made I find myself watching it again already!

[@TheFilmLook]

Great great video guys!

[@TheFilmLook]

Thanks so much!

[@gabinooodle5308]

May I ask what app you guys used for the smartphone recording? We’re working on a project for school and we don’t have the funds to purchase a mic

[@TheFilmLook]

Just the standard voice recorder app built into the phone. It may be called something different on your device. Voice recorder, microphone mode, memo app, something like that.

[@gabinooodle5308]

The Film Look Thank you! Lol I didn’t expect such a fast reply

[@TheFilmLook]

No problem!

[@rowsonkidd]

okay but what if I don't have any boom operators to work with ? I guess that's the issue a lot of indie filmmaker would have

[@TheFilmLook]

Without a boom operator, things will certainly get tricky. We shot a scene very recently where we didn't have a boom operator, so instead we used a C-stand and boomed it on the stand. So the boom wasn't swinging, it was static, but since we were shooting a close up on a single subject without them pivoting in the shot, it worked pretty well!
