typically i use a h4n with sennheiser e300 g3 wireless packs for “on location” interviews…

anything you’ve seen that looks like it was done a studio was done with a h4n+shure ksm137 ( https://vimeo.com/28226151 )

as far as your low signal level… is your input volume on the h4n turned up all the way? or at least to 60+?

also make sure you don’t have a pad on at the mic… like anything saying -6db or -12db… make sure it’s at 0.

other than that… getting a mic with a higher “signal level”… or buying a small little pre amp to boost the signal… but i’de recommend a new mic before a preamp.

if you like the audio quality of any of the outdoor interviews i’ve done that was with the sennheiser wireless system… so i’de say scrape up some money and buy that. Gotta have clean audio…

oh boy lol … i won’t even go into why your syncing is screwed up over time… but just know there are pro’s who don’t run into those problems.

and btw … any solution you use… or camera… has work arounds involved… whether you recognize them or not.

as far as interviews and 12 minutes… good lord man… how long is one question… just stop it and start it after every question or two… and use pluraleyes to sync everything in post… what the hell is the problem here. it’s totally worth pushing your thumb down twice every question.

Just please no one listen to this guy… if you want great looking stuff for super cheap and super EASY.. email me and i’ll teach you whatever i know.

WOah speak for yourself.. wow you are out of the loop my friend. 7d is GREAT for interviews! I’ve done mannnny.

Go on vimeo and just check out one of the thousands of interview vids from 7d’s.

other than interviews watch the house season finale to see a full episode shot off a 5dmkii

there are also many films out there shot on these cameras also.

Just because you can’t get out of it what you want.. doesn’t mean other people can’t.

hey their definitly is a script to do what your talking about.. to be able to push things back in z space but as you do they automatically scale up to keep perfect perspective.

Lemme know if your still needing this and i’ll give it to ya.
