    We are most sensitive to sound. Incredible sound and poor footage is always better than incredible footage and poor sound.

      Most probably,,, but Not always ,it depends.. Otherwise a blind man won't be saying that it is better to have a clear vision and a deaf man saying is is much better if he have a good hearing.. Our senses balanced is much important yet it depends on the situation and fact that we are dealing with

      I gotta disagree. But that just may be the cinematographer in me. I don’t mind bad audio if it looks good

    Just finished my first interview style video for a client submitting a video for getting into a tv show. Can't post it publicly but I can tell you I spent about 3 hours just making sure her audio sounded right. I recorded her on a zoom h5 in an old factory that has been turned into a shopping mall, so there was a lot of ambient background noise (I had my work cut out for me). I've been a still photographer for years but I'm new to video. After my first short last month I learned just how important sound is and how damaging it can be to a video if done incorrectly. I'm glad I learned this lesson so soon in my new venture into filming. Simon, I can't thank you enough for these little videos. You've helped me out a crap ton. Keep doing what you do!

  • @findingvictoria
    @findingvictoria Před 8 lety +5

    i had a class on sound design for movies a couple of months ago and it was the first time I'd know/realized just how important sound is, and how much you can do with it. it's mind blowing! i just bought a mic and i can't wait to play around with it!

  • @sickphil71
    @sickphil71 Před 8 lety

    This has been one of my favorite videos, Simon. One of the things I enjoy most in film making is playing with sound.

  • @aaronjohn3457
    @aaronjohn3457 Před 8 lety +1

    Hey Simon,
    I would just like to thank you for motivating me to begin a short film production. I like how you talk about more of the creative side of filmmaking rather than the technical side (Which is still important), and the videos have taught me the most important thing in filmmaking: story. I used to just think about the latest and greatest Red cameras (Although I still dream about having one some day) and the most expensive Cine lenses, but I now realise that the gear that I have at the moment is perfect. You are one of my favourite youtubers, and I will continue to watch you for years to come.
    Thank you,
    Aaron

    • @DSLRguide
      @DSLRguide  Před 8 lety +1

      +Aaron John aaron this is such an encouraging comment to read. So glad that you're happy with the gear you've got, and all the best with the short! you'll learn loads from the experience no matter what happens :)

  • @enduraman1
    @enduraman1 Před 8 lety

    Smart, very smart audio tips for capturing folio on set, ambience sounds for each set location, being aware of distracting sounds in the environment and eliminating them if possible or waiting for them to go away, tilting the boom microphone during dialogue shots to capture what each person is saying, getting the boom mic as close as possible without getting it in the camera frame are all great skills to know when recording sound for film.

    This was really helpful thanks! I finished a no budget action short a few months ago and I am now planning a much more ambitious drama. My main difficulty with the action short was sound. (This is why I wrote it with very little dialog and tried to incorporate story elements visually).

    Fantastic video! One thing I'ver learnt (the hard way) if you are turning off fridges and anything making noise that is critical to turn back on again, is to find a way to remind yourself to do this! I put my car keys into an envelope with a reminder on the outside, so I can't drive away until I have seen it, but different ways work for different people

    • @LostUtopiaFilms
      @LostUtopiaFilms Před 8 lety +1

    Great video! I think this video will be important in helping people understand the importance of sound. Any advice on how to capture authentic sounding footstep/running foley? I find issues with this, especially if the scene takes place on carpeted floors that don't make much noise.

    • @DSLRguide
      @DSLRguide  Před 8 lety +1

      +Lost Utopia Films glad it's helpful! When it comes to foley, I think there are a few things worth remembering: Your ears are the most important thing. Experiment with lots of different materials etc until you find something that sounds good. Listen to films, to find out what kind of sounds they use, so you have a starting point. Other than that I think you just have to spend a lot of time on it. Search and search for sounds, and record many different versions so you have options. For footsteps in particular, the one mistake I always make is to have the microphone too close, which makes them sound artificial.
