3) If Yes, which? The Quad Neves seemed like a good option, also easy to carry. What do you think?
4) Is it really possible to synch the camera and the recording system with this Slate, or did I dream that after a drunken night?
5) If Yes, what does that actually involve? I have no experience with neither a Slate or any camera or recording.
6) Any tips or reccomendations from anyone who has had experience with sitcoms or 'on location recordings' ?
I guess the most important thing to do is to get clean recordings with TC embedded, so that I can go home and quickly edit everything and make it ready in a few days as it will be a weekly series.
Am I wrong to think so?
PS, I am also contemplating on buying Altiverb and Wave Rider? I have no reverb plugins an I heard Wave Rider can really speed things up?
Sorry for the huge nooby post but it is very important I pull this off as jobs don't come very easy :/
Thank you |
My first impression is: You are in way over your head right now.
I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but this kind of job takes a dozen people working a lot of hours to make happen.
I have a couple questions that everyone here will want to know first.
1) Is this a TV series or a Webisode?
2) Is this your clients first project?
3) What is your experience? I won't be presumptuous.
4) Is there budget to take on another editor / mixer / foley / buy sound effects?
5) Is this a hour or half hour show?
6) What kind of show is it? There are many types of SitCom... Comedy? Sci-fi? Action? Situational?
7) How many Characters?
I don't do production sound, but I do work in Film and occasionally TV and this does not sound good to me right now. You have the ability to get production sound with what you have but, your rig is in no way strong enough to handle the final Dub. Though Altiverb is great, you should be more concerned with buying an HD system, good monitors and hiring a post house to do your foley. I wouldn't recommend WaveRider or anything like that either. A lot of directors as well as Mixers would complain it kills performance and it would add issues to the maintenance and level of your roomtone.

Ahh, you are gonna need help.... especially if your a "noob". You are very wrong in thinking you can pull this off by yourself for a weekly show. I'm not trying to be cynical or to sound angry, I am just concerned for you. Good luck!
