Weekend #1
The first weekend I used a Zoom H4 box to record the sound.
It was alright although no chance I would have been able to film on my own. Luckily I had the help of Emma. The Zoom H4 box records the sound separately onto an SD card as either a WAVE or mp3 file.
The sound had to sync up as video and audio were recorded onto separate devices…like in the ye olde days of film!
Weekend #2
The second weekend I used a customized Glensound Box that recorded sound straight onto the Canon 5D
The files imported into FCP fine, although I had to obviously change the settings of the project so that I didn’t have to render the timeline every time I put a clip down.
If you have the same problem, don’t forget to create a new sequence once you have changed the FCP project settings otherwise the new settings won’t be applied to the new sequence.
If you haven’t guessed already, that was something I found myself literally tearing my hair out at! Luckily I’m a lady and I have long hair so I can fashion a nice comb over for the time being.
I’m totally hooked on the new Canon 5D MK2! This is the first sequence that I produced having used it:
(Please note, the lovely BBC YouTube peeps seemed to have uploaded a wrong aspect version and it’s been compressed, obviously)

Next Week: Short Film research… I want to make a short film at the start of this year so I’m starting the pre production for it soon
obviously like your web site however you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to tell the reality then again I’ll definitely come again again.
Hi there,
Could you give me an example of a post and I will make said amendments.
Thanks,
Gemma
Nicely done 🙂
I can’t exactly make out the lens from the pictures. Which one did you use for the interviews if I may ask?
I just used a standard 24mm lens for the interviews. We haven’t had enough in the budget to buy any nicer ones….one day! haha
Thanks for your comment!
