Post Description

Audio is one the most important but least appreciated aspects of filmmaking. Your audience will notice if you don't put the same care and attention you pay to your visuals into your audio. In this how-to course, Anthony Q. Artis walks through many of the most common audio recording scenarios. Think of it like an audio "cookbook" with step-by-step "recipes" for situations like conference panels, stage shows, and narrative dialog scenes. Anthony also shows you how to set up mixers, wireless mics, and booms, and make sure your camera is correctly set up to capture audio. He wraps up with troubleshooting tips covering a range of issues, from wind noise to echoes, and shows how to fix the problems you can't solve on set in post production.

Topics include:

Hooking up a mixer
Selecting the right mic for the job—table, lavalier, or boom
Using wireless mics
Hiding mics
Mic'ing the crowd at an event
Capturing the action up close
Matching visual perspective to audio
Dealing with background noise
Reducing rumble, wind noise, and hiss in post
