Thanks to the power of DV Rack and some hard lessons learnt on Saturday, yesterdays results were much, much improved and a lot of the problems sorted out.
Chris’ lights are a godsend, along with the superb microphone. Instant semi-pro results without even trying. With a bit of thought and diligence, we’re achieving results far beyond my expectations.
Only problem now is that I have to make sure I concentrate on directing properly, not trying to play sound man and cinematographer and tea boy all at the same time. It’s a shame Nic could be here yesterday, but I can tell her the things she needs to catch up on quite quickly (mainly refinements to using DV Rack), perhaps later this week.
Now I just have to get to grips with editing! Mr Coughlan meet Mr Avid.
