That way you can record the audio to fit the shots and fill the presenter in afterwards.

Hope that helps,

The idea is to document the history of my boat Royal Tudor who is registered with the National Maritime Museum as being of 'significant national importance'. At the same time I want to document the 'voyages' as we explore the 200 miles of water of the Norfolk & Suffolk Broads, using my knowledge & interest in archaeology, wildlife etc as well as animation similar to Time Team to illustrate.

Everythings is going fine and dandy apart from one aspect. I've scoured the web looking for answers and come up blank and then this morning realised that the answer to the problem may lie with the Muvizu Brains Trust...err that's you guys BTW.

Here's the problem...Talking to camera! After several hours/days of filming I just can't do it...for a number of reasons. First of all...it was not until the 30 days were up on my Argos purchase that I realised that they had swapped the camera I had ordered for a 'similar product' ie one with no microphone connections...I should have checked... my fault. So to get good quality sound I'm having to record via another source either a Zoom H2 or my Meteor mic. This means lugging a laptop around on location. Secondly I'm old, grey, have teeth that Shergar would be proud of...and talking to camera just does not look right or natural. I have no problem getting behind a mic for voice overs or indeed appearing on camera...just talking to it...coherently.

Here's the question...having realised that the one place on the web with technical & directorial talent galore is Muvizu....can anyone see a technical or directorial solution to avoid having to talk to camera without having to spend more money on gear (the woman holding the purse strings will go ballistic)?]]> Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:37:08 GMT
