The Mic Tour 2011

Probably the biggest challenge for any photographer trying to shoot video is audio; as visual people, we already have visual literacy and the video stuff is easier to grasp, but audio is a completely new world.

I’m delighted to say that I’ll be speaking at the Mic Tour 2011, along with some real audio experts; John Willett and Alex Joseph.

My talk is going to be perfect for anyone wanting to learn a little about how I record audio for my DSLR video work. Hope you can make it!

Canon 5D MkII Audio Hacked

Well, its happened. The audio function has been hacked on the 5D MkII to allow an override on the automatic gain control. This is superb news and my congratulations go to Hudson for this.

There’s a thread on the Cinema 5D forum exploring this update to the camera’s firmware.

Samples….as in music!

Posted on October 1, 2008 | Leave a comment

I came across a site called Sample Swap which is a collection of over 12,000 samples available to download for free. The samples are kindly provided by musicians for others to use as samples, and will be of use for those photographers putting together multi media pieces. Just download them and use Garage Band or Soundtrack Pro (on a Mac) or its equivalents on a PC and make up your sound piece. Please be careful not to download anything which sounds like its been taken from a commercial recording as you will not have a license for its usage and will as a result be infringing copyright (the folks that run the site do try and make sure that this stuff doesn’t get posted, but occasionally they slip through).
