Hey all, here's one for you:
We just shot the first ten pages of a feature over the weekend and ran into a problem with radio reception. That is, our camera, through an AT-835B Shotgun on a boom picked up Mexican radio and recorded it to tape. It's slight, but definitely there - you can actually make out what they're sayin, if you speak Spanish. Thank God it only happened in one scene. We think it was possibly caused by aluminum foil we taped to the wall for bouncing light. Or maybe cheap XLR cables? We used Neutrik cable - anyone heard of this brand? We were shooting on the third floor of an old apartment building in Hollywood and the radio reception varied depending on what room we were in.
Theories? Suggestions on how to avoid in the future? Oh, and we did monitor sound while shooting, just couldn't solve the problem on set. Any advice on this problem is greatly appreciated.
The footage, BTW, captured on a DVX100 and DVX100A, looks fantastic.
