He's looking for a recorder for recording and then playing back individual tracks. Similar to what multi-image slide shows used to use, but with an actual voice cue track rather than just a beep for an auto-controller. In terms of outmoded gear, you'd be looking at the Tascam 133: (although...

Did somebody say Marantz? Did somebody say Marantz? Bottom to top, those are PMD221's from 1991, 1995, and 1998. God knows how they made it out of the building when more modern (and expensive :) ) equipment didn't during the Flood of '08. Anybody want to rent one? :D (sorry for dragging...

Great episode about Foley and how it does (or mostly doesn't :) ) sound like "the real world..."

So I was watching some Meatloaf live concert on HDNet tonite (waiting for Here Come the Mummies to start), and I said to myself, "wow, those like G2's" (in reference to the handheld wireless that Meatloaf and some of the other singers were using. They were definitely Sennheisers, but I thought...

I give you: The cowbelt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB1z2USriZs (3:25 for those who want to skip)

Just wanted folks to know that, about a year ago, DVX User's 4th scriptfest dealt with westerns, so if you're looking for a script to shoot, you might find one at: http://www.dvxfest.com/scriptfestIV/ Now, since the official rules for WestFest haven't been released yet, I suppose I should...

Here's my situation: the only shotgun mics my company's rental department has are half a dozen or so old Sennheiser ME80's. Now, from what I understand from searching the boards, these were actually a pretty well-respected mic back in their day; and certainly the times I have used them (for...

I had a thought today based on the SF5 experience, thought better of posting it today at work, but then I came home and my Internet was back on, so... There's a formal "Rule Violation Protocol" that's been posted for BetrayalFest; I realize that the ScriptFests are run a little more informally...

It finally came together at the last minute, and literally only a word or two away from seven pages. :D And I'm not at all happy with the title, but then again, I never am, because I basically suck at titles... You can read it at: http://www.dvxfest.com/scriptfestVI/index.php?id=3800670

Logline: There's a time and a place for everything, and this isn't it. Okay, so this was inspired by a discussion that happened in the original MonsterFest thread, before the official rules went up, about the nature of zombies and their evolution in film. It's short, not quite three full pages...

Okay, I did a search, didn't find quite what I was wondering about, so here we go... As I mentioned in another thread, the company I work for recently had a camera returned that's been missing for two and a half years. Today, I was playing with it--um, I mean I was evaluating it :), and I...

I am very strongly considering trying to actually enter this fest, but I don't see how I can do my first idea, so I thought I'd see if anybody's interested. It's intended to be a somewhat Kevin Smith-ish, dialogue-heavy comedy regarding zombies, inspired by the ongoing debate between the...

Probably not, but this made me laugh today... Two and a half years ago, almost to the day, a customer failed to return the DVX100A that they'd rented from one of my company's branches. We tried to get the police involved, they weren't real interested, and eventually we just gave up on it (and...

...The Great Gatsby

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59387 Something has got to be done...

Not sure if this is the place for this, but it seemed the best given that there's no dedicated subforum for administrative issues... With regards to the Marketplace, is it about time for (at the very least) a sticky about 700MHz band wireless systems? Or (probably better but harder to do) a...

In an attempt to mostly A) stimulate some more discussion about live events in this newly-expanded forum but also B) show off :), I thought I'd post a few pics of some live events that I do that involve camera work. The first is a yearly event that I've been doing for about six years now, with...

No, this is not the obligatory "What's the next Fest" post, I'll leave that for somebody else this time. :D Rather, it's some suggestions. First off, I don't want to rap Isaac Brody here, because I know what it's like to get busy and not get to something (it only happens to me about once a...

This is about 95% done, so I'm going to go ahead and commit myself to entering it. :) It's a completely different idea from the one I mentioned in the "Progress" thread, started only last Thursday. And I just realized after posting this and looking at my sig, that I am now 2 for 2 with...

That sounded confident, didn't it? :undecided Anyway, I say "possible" because A) it's not done yet (but it's getting there) and B) I'm not 100% sure it fits the fest (the idea actually came to me originally for TimeFest, but too late to do anything with). The working title is "One More Last...
