This is a clip from a project I'm working on,

Does it look like I forgot to turn on the switch for the GG glass? I can't remember if I did , but it looks like there is more than their should be grain in the background, Either that or could it be from having OIS on and not knowing it?

The Mic is Oktava Mk-12, It sounds good on my speakers, I adjusted the equalizer and other levels and things, but if you have any suggestions on improving , I don't know much about what the thingys are to adjust in post, like reverb and things, I just play with them all till it sounds good, but if you can recommend certain adjustments that might improve the quality that be nice.
 
i really liked the sound you got out of it. the first speaker especially because he has an unique voice but i could tell you probably played with the equalizer on the bass end of the spectrum and i think it turned out well.
as for grain, i can only see it in the background on the left for the bookshelves.
nice job
 
It looks good. I think the rim light is a little on the hot side. As far as the ground glass being on it's a little to small for me to say for certain but it looks like it isn't.

I'm not really a fan of the lower angle that you chose because I feel like the subject is looking up as he talks which makes me distrust him some
 
I have the Nikkor 1.4 too. Its spectacular for portraits and interviews--especially in low light.

Nice work.
 
banksie312 - Thank you.

SilverWolf - The lighting was all natural, the light from a window and a bedroom lamp.

Thats interesting, I never thought of it like that, I actually was thinking of using a lower angle to be "looking up" at someone, rather than "looking down" on them.
But I will take that into consideration next time I set up an interview.
Thanks!


mackfilm - Thanks!
 
i agree with silverwolf actually. i felt a little strange watching it and now it makes sense. i personally like keeping my subjects on the same plane as my camera , but having them look off to the right or left only slightly. gives the viewer the feeling they are there.

also, have you used your mic outside and if so does it perform well? i am considering the oktava
 
the octava is very prone to wind noise. If you use it outside you should use the baby ball gag and muff to protect against that.
 
banksie312 Yes I used it once when I first got it, I had the baby ball gag on it, it actually sounded good, I didn't hear any extra noise from wind or anything,

I bought the baby ball gag with the fuzzy windjammer with it, if you use those and its not a super windy day and you have your mic close enough to the subject, I would think it would pick up the sound alright.
