Here's a good thread about getting started in production sound: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=51526

Try working through the management of one of their artists or ASCAP/BMI/SESAC; you'll eventually be dealing with them all anyway.

Great book! It focuses on the artistic side rather than the technical.

Your best option is to hire someone, and they should have the gear as a part of their package. Since it's only for a couple of hours it should be well within your $300 audio budget. Google up "sound mixer" "production sound", and "remote recording" for a local contractor. An optimum set-up...

A few questions: Will there be instrumental accompaniment? Is there any sound support (meaning a live sound mixer for the venue)? For the cost of the Edirol and the mics you could hire someone to do a professional job.

There are millions of great ideas out there. It all comes down to execution. Preproduce the hell out of it; a "moving vehicle" project has many unique problems. Good luck!

Sound design is the selection/creation of sounds to evoke a specific mood and to support or contrast emotional content. Something as seemingly mundane as footsteps can provide information about a character. An ambience can provide many unseen clues about the environment in which the characters...

It's much, much worse than that; most lo/no budget filmmakers don't even properly capture the production sound, the dialog that tells their story. Then they wonder why it takes lots of money/time just to clean up the dialog tracks. I think that the problem is that they don't see sound; once...

I'll answer your other post first. Here's a DIY boompole: As far as mics... Just as you would light differently and perhaps use a different lenses indoors as opposed to outdoors the same applies to how you would choose your mics. For outdoors you can't beat a shotgun mic, but shotgun mics...

Just go through the credits of a major film and Google up the definitions.

With the exception of Sound Emporium they are not businesses, they are just forums for production sound people.

I don't know of much in the way of production sound educational courses, etc. If you are not aware of them, there are two places where production sound pros congregate: jwsound On the rare occasions they talk about getting into the production sound fraternity most seem to have an extensive -...

Short answer, YES!

Simple things like lighting technique and properly prepping your set will go long way towards giving you a more "professional" look. Also, pay a lot of attention to capturing solid production sound, which will greatly improve the quality of your projects as well.

Your title says "On a budget", your post says "Big budget". If you have the "big" budget you would be better off renting the gear when you get there to avoid shipping (airlines are now charging by the pound for most everything except carry-ons) and customs. The gear you rent will be compatible...

Sound is half of the experience - Steven Spielberg First, you may want to increase your budget somewhat. That's the problem most younger filmmakers make - trying to get away cheaply on the sound. With the assumption that you will be recording the audio directly to camera, you will need a...

Most beginning filmmakers completely forget about sound until they get into post. Plan the sound of your film in as much detail as you do the rest of your project. With that in mind, you should read "Sound Design: The Expressive Power of Music, Voice and Sound Effects in Cinema" by David...
