You are God-send. Ive been searching for weeks and this is the answer I needed. Thank you thank you!!

Good info. Not sure why this is specific to a "One Man Band" though. I specifically saw two men in this shoot :)

exactly! I was hoping to see 'how you hold a boompole in your left and control your camera with your right hand' ;DDD

Usually sound is done by two people, a sound recordist and a boom operator. In this video he is demonstrating how to do both at the same time.

@@MarkSiegemund he doesn’t mean one man band for filming and audio 🤣🤣 he means one man band for just the audio as it’s usually two men on the job at least

One sound recorder

I have just found the channel and will be following religiously to learn and improve my understanding of the processes of indie filmmaking (and pro level too) :D

Traditionally its best to roll audio first. The main reason is the file size differences between audio and video. On my last shoot with a red the video was 600gb and the audio that was rolling on every shot was about 1.5 gb, case and point.

Really awesome tutorial with a great sense of humour to boot!

Great advice my man, you. ailed it. I really benefited from your insight. Thanks I will try to apply them

Hilarious, informative, and very clearly communicated. Great video

This is gold. The LASER though :D

Great I like that, this will really help us we the new coming recordists

Greatest video I have ever seen! 🎧

This is so helpful for newbies

For me one man band is where I do everything myself like directing, operating the camera, lighting etc. and this is only recording audio :)

Good info good vibes thanks

Good stuff! Thanks for the tips. Loved the laser...lol. #newlysubbed

hahaha what a great intro. That distortion.

so in record the sound should be around -8 . on edite should be around -12 ? or both on -8

Is my Macbook pro can do such one man band? I want to record a cover that I will play Saxophone and drums. Or is there other apps for such? thankx

Im just starting to learn about audio and need help...What is the Lav mic for?..where are you suppose to put it? 🤔

What function does the lav mic serve?

where did you get the zoom h6 strap?

lol.. wierd!! I felt that.. not an audio guy( im camera and edit, they needed someone) felt like I had shitty ears after I removed my headphones😂 also felt kinda peace full.

good

Good

i think it's a wrong name for the video. i found a link for this and wanted to see it because of the normal 'one man band' term. when one person does video and sound alone. you talk about a sound person on a video/movie set. it's different. isn't it always one person on a set doing audio? (except if he has an assistant holding the boom). otherwise good video for those who do audio on sets. and well done

what did you use the lav mics for?

Does anyone know how long the batteries can run with an external mic that needs the phantom on ? With some of these portable recorders ? I used to have the zoom h4n and it was really bad something like 10 min of durability Thanks 😊

What the… that is unusually low

Hi nice video! i got a question, do you know what do i need to do if i have to send audio to the director and the script so they can liste and monitor while i´m recording? For Example if i have 3 characters with levaliers and a boom, how do i let them listen ? i dont know i i explained myself but it would be really nice if you could help me with this.

Did you ever figure it out? If your in a live setting...i mean you could just buy a bunch of aux splitters and evry plug in their own headphones, but usually they should trust the sound guy to know what they're doing..like he said to run the knobs. Also besides being in a post setting I can't see a need for everyone to hear the audio as you're recording

@@mainpage725 please, just don't "run the knobs". You can and most likely will use faders, but if avoidable you just not adjust the gain during a take.

Even though I appreciate the effort to teach people about sound, there are a lot of wrong tipps in this video. First thing: just let the boom pole rest on your shoulders. This will lead to issues with your spine and apart from that you are kinda locked into a certain position and restricted your movement. I don't know about the US, but at least in europe sound rolls before camera...I've never heard anyone anywhere say "audio speeding" though... And no: you don't want to "get as close to the slate as possible". Those sticks are loud (one of the reasons why you should do "soft sticks" in a close-up...actors will appreciate it) so you just need to get the slate announcement and the clap itself at a solid level. Usually you don't aim at the actor's mouth but more to the sternum. Aiming at the mouth will often sound too harsh. About getting roomtone....there are a few cases, where you might need roomtone, but you have to understand what roomtone is for. If you know that editing will have to cut out longer parts of the take (footsteps from crew, airplane during non dialogue parts, etc.) then it might be useful for post. But recording roomtone for every scene and/or setup is madness and something you won't see any professional do today. Time on film sets is expensive and if you really start to hold up production after every setup, you will be released from your job before lunch break! If you need to replace short parts of a take, then this is something that you can easily do with surrounding audio material. (Hope this makes sense, but you can read a lot about roomtone and why/where to use it in John Purcell's "Dialogue Editing for motion picture") And last but not least: You are correct about taking off headphones while not recording, but you forgot to mention why: it's hearing damage. I know a lot of colleagues who now have to crank up the headphone volume to the max in order to work. So work safe, don't turn your headphone volume up too high and take those headphones off whenever you can!

I’m just here to say…. GO STROS!

I thought one man was one man, one camera, one mic.🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm a one man band, where I record my music, compose it, play all the instruments and sing. In cinematography life, I'd consider the same if I acted, did my makeup and clothing, held the mic and camera, adjusted light and finalized the video editing and color grading.

Amen. Couldn't have said it better 😉 Edit: you don't need to "hold" the boom pole or camera, there's tripods for that, but you can definitely be a one man band in movie making. This in the video is not it.

How would you make a movie with only a Zoom H1N (+headphone) but no boom/shotgun mic... that's my budget :P

3:03 lol hit him hit him harder

For a video about audio, this has terribly recorded sound!

If you want great sound in your films, hire a pro sound guy and have a great sound. You can't learn sound by watching just a video, do this, do that... And also, hire a Sound Designer to do your sound, not the gaffer, not the director, not the video editor.

That’s why Sound guys look like that lol

Back in the day we called "running the knobs" "riding gain".

how to run audio as a one man band. video has minimum two people at all times, lmao.

this tutorial is not about being a one man band. lol.
