Thanks John its what I thought would have to do.

I guess if there are sync issues I would need to adjust speed in post by percentage.

Thanks again for your time.

Hi John,

Soz about my reply with PAL and NTSC as they dont apply to your advice on frame rate as you have correctly pointed out in this suitation.

Could you help me clarify a problem with frame rate and sync in post.

I finally have the sound gear that has been supplied due to budget constraints.

I have been given a Sony PCM D50 recorder and after testing found it to be not suitable for the film shoot I then advised the producer that this wont cut it for the indie film and ask that they can hire a field mixer, the audio development AD260 for a great price which they agreed. The AD260 needs a cam to record audio and the DP prefers to not have cables running off it because the shooting technique is handheld and glidecam with no sticks.

I guess I would have to take my EX1 and use that as a recorder and can run the D50 off the mixer as backup recorder but dont know if this is possible?

The question is im using the EX1 as a recorder and the EX1 only records at 25 or 50p and the DP told me that he will be shooting at 29.97 or 30fps. Im guessing this will be a problem? please advise what to do if any.

many thanks in advance

Jake

I have done some tests on D50 and still have background rustling even with a

Many Thanks to all the guru’s and your responses with my question and situation.

I hope this will be read by the others that responded.

I will take the advise of the different field mixers offered and do some research on the models and the specs of each recommended mixer.

In regards to the firmware update on the 5d I will find that out on Sat with the owner and pending that, I hope I can run it off the 5d as suggested, thanks for the link for cable needed.

In regards to NTSC. In NZ we shoot PAL and I think shooting in 23.976 or 29.97 may not apply in regards to sync in post but will match frame rate recordings, I may just run a test just to be safe.

Scenes? Well I have read the script and already can hear sounds and thinking of Foley, ambient and boom positioning etc. There are your basic dialogue with actors, indoor, in car and outdoor scenes. Car driving into shots, doors etc. I guess with indie film of low budgets I would have one all rounder directional mic supplied. I thinking of taken a c stand with pieces of carpet to soften sound if it gets a bit echoey and do the usual record foleys b4 as you all would know prep is key.

Thanks for plural eyes Ive seen the promo on it and yes it will make our lives less stressful and I guess I would be able to hear my wife more lol.

Thanks Again to the gurus of audio your wisdom is priceless.
