    Stupid question, but it's been bugging me

    When I watch "The Daily Show" and other TV shows with visible lavs, it always seems like the lavs are what I would consider "upside down," with the elements pointing down at the floor rather than up at the talent's mouth. Is this something to do with omni lavs that poor ol' sound-reinforcement...

    OTHER: Best SCREENWRITING SOFTWARE?

    I dunno about "industry standard" or anything like that, but I just have to say that I have been on Movie Magic Screenwriter 2000 since... well... right about 2000. :) I bought something called "Script Thing" about 1999, because the demo did everything I needed it to as somebody who wanted...

    Infocomm?

    Hey, any other 'Users going to Infocomm next week? I held off asking this long because I wasn't sure if I was still going, what with my office still being approximately six feet underwater (we're a block and a half away from this Cedar River thing that you may have heard if you're watching any...

    So, what's the next fest?

    Any live audio guys in the room?

    I realize this is not the primary purpose of this forum, but if there's any of you out there, I could use a little advice. I've decided that I need some Countryman E6i mics in my company's rental inventory. (Well, technically I decided that about a year and a half ago, but now I think I'm in a...

    Endgame

    (aka "The Most Over-Used Title in the World" :D ) Logline: A police detective has his last encounter with the serial killer he's chased for the past three years. As I mentioned in the upload thread, I'm usually not one to allow anyone else to read anything I write (except for one friend and...

    Some inspirational words on scriptwriting...

    ...from J. Michael Straczynski, creator/producer/primary writer of Babylon 5, who's recently put out a series of books containing every script he wrote for that show (92 of the 110 produced episodes), and he concluded by discussing his recent emergence as an A-list feature film writer (beginning...

    OK, guys, I have a TimeFest script idea...

    Well, maybe it's more like the beginning of a script idea; I'll admit that I don't entirely know how it ends, so I'm open for some collaboration. :) But, anyway, when I see it in my head, it requires a lot more production value than I can even imagine, so I'm putting it out here. Well, I'm...

    HV20 on the campaign trail

    Thought you might find this interesting... I did sound for two campaign events yesterday (ah, the joys of working in A/V in Iowa :) ), and right next to the big BetaCams on their Sachtlers were no less than three HV20's on $50 K-mart tripods. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG) There was also a Sony HDV of...

    Wedding audio question

    (AKA Dear God, not another wedding audio question! :) ) (And just for the record I did a search and didn't really find what I was looking for. :happy: ) So typically when I do weddings for friends, I'm either sticking a wireless lav on the groom or using a boundary mic on the altar to pick...

    XL2 vs. GL2 (vs. ? ) for event work

    OK, it's like this. I think my company is at the point where we need a couple more DV cameras, and I'm kind of up in the air about what to recommend to my boss, so I thought I'd throw it past the experts here. :) First off, and I hate to say it, but the DVX100 is out because of its limited...

    Apparently I'm a criminal and didn't even know it...

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/specials/playoffs/2006/02/01/bc.fbn.superbowl.church.ap/index.html?cnn=yes Short version: the NFL threatened legal action against an Indianapolis church that wanted to show the Super Bowl on an LCD projector. Turns out that not only are they...

    Broken, or am I missing a setting?

    We recently had some audio problems with one of our rental DVX100A's--the RCA audio outputs were not sending a signal, although audio was being recorded to the tape (thank God :) ). It just came back from repair, and it seems to have the same problem. There isn't some sort of setting that I'm...
