Peter,

I feel the same. I wanted to see if this was even possible to do and if I would be able to keep under the budget they set. I plan to discuss this all with all parties involved as I agree that it is unrealistic to even expect me to operate 3 cameras by myself. The two-person, two camera shoot was even difficult without the crew that it would typically require.

I will ask them for extra assistance and hope for the best. Keeping my fingers crossed here. Thank you all again, you’ve helped a ton.

Brian,

I completely understand where you are coming from, however, I still have a job to do and high expectations to meet.

Back to my original post, I’m looking into the sennheiser mic system previously mentioned.

Thank you all for your help. I really do appreciate and respect you for offering your professional advice.

Happy holidays!

Brian,
I respect your opinion and while I would prefer to hire a sound mixer instead of having to teach myself through trial and error, the company that I work for can only budget for one person to do everything. That person is me. I’m there to help to build the foundations for what will hopefully expand into a much larger department (with an audio crew, I have a lot of respect for you guys.)
I’m on this forum because I’m asking for help and advice from people who know more than I do. I am willing to admit that I am not an expert, but I am willing to learn and I appreciate any help as this was project was just thrown on me yesterday.

Joel, thank you for the tips. They were very helpful.

As for the cameras:
All cameras are on tripods. I might be adding a third camera. All cameras would have two xlr inputs. I would love to record stereo if possible, but I can record mono and double it in post. All mics need to be wireless.

Please forgive my audio ignorance, this is really more of my crash-course into audio mixing, but what do you mean by “frequency agile?”

Also, is there a way I can avoid radio interference with that many wireless mics running at the same time?

[Erica Fellion]

There are two xlr inputs on each of the two cameras but the wireless mic systems I recently used only transmit on two separate frequencies. I’m thinking it would be better to use wireless mics that transmit across 4 separate frequencies… do you happen to know of any good quality, wireless mic systems that can do this?
