What video making equiptment do you have?

Jass Films · Post by **Jass Films** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 9:57 am

I was curious, because in the movie business you have you be creative what you use for video making, what do you own specifically for video making?

I own.
1 x Mic
1 x Headphones
7 x reflectors
3 x halogen lights
1 x tripod
1 x Canon MVX150i camera
2 x batteries
1 x Cart as a dolly, similar to what the mechanics use for transporting heavy toolboxes and bands use for transporting amps.
1 x Apple eMac, specifically for editing due to the large amount of editing jobs i get. (80gb, CD-RW and DVD recorder + player. with final cut pro 4 and Apple Dvd Studio

)

I think thats it, all in which i only got this year, cost me a fortune.

I own
1x Canon MVX150i
4x Halogen Lights
1x Tripod
1x 12 foot Jib
1x headaphones
1x 14" monitor
1x HP P4 computer with 250gb harddisk, 1,5gb RAM, 1,7 ghz processor, DVD recorder, Adobe Premiere Pro,
Adobe After Effects 6.5, Adobe Photoshop CS....

This is pretty much off-topic, but i have a question for you... I too own a canon mvx150i and it's a great camcorder, but the microphone in the camera picks up the sound from the camera (very irritating)... which external microphone do you have?

I have a sony, but the camera only records stereo, so it only records sound on the left, which is a pain, but what i want to do is get a mini disc recordor, and record the sound seperatly. Or get a mic to go in the advanced accessory shoe. May cost a lot though.

I can't be bothered to list all my stuff. There is lots though, mostly rubbish stuff.

If I bought the Canon DM-50 microphone and put it in the advanced accessory shoe, would that remove the sound of my camera in the background?

U.S.Amateurfilmaker · Sun Jul 04, 2004 11:08 pm

Yes, its used to tweak sound in post. Can't have a good production w/o good sound!

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 12:25 am

Sound is always peoples problem. My list seems small, but then I don't have all those reflectors, and I didn't list headphones.

I3lade203 · Post by **I3lade203** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 1:30 am

Yes sound is important, but never a problem for me really

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 1:34 am

My probabem had always been having troble captureing the sound, well not anymore.

Yes, pretty much, because the sound recording is no longer being record from in the camera

I3lade203 · Post by **I3lade203** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:36 am

Yes internal vs external - external wins every time

U.S.Amateurfilmaker · Post by **U.S.Amateurfilmaker** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:41 am

I had no choice when it came to getting an external mic, because my in camera one has EXTREMLY loud tape noise. But its gone now so im happy.

Anyone considering getting a camera in Canon's ZR line take note!

I3lade203 · Post by **I3lade203** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 3:46 am

Ive never had any problem with recording sound as far back as I can remember

- JVC dv camera
- Tripod
- External Mic
- Clapboard (just got it)
- My editing setup, which is getting pretty old, and hopefully soon replaced, amd xp 1600, dual monitors, premiere, after effects, etc, some vcrs.
- Other stuff like props I just find, and start collecting
- I was going to get a pair of proper lights and reflectors, but I decided to wait, so now I just use some halogen ones
