Hi, two different fequences. Two mics two receivers.
Sorry. I meant auto setting on our EX1s.
Kind regards,

Thank you.
Probably a but late now to upgrade, but how do I upgrade the firmware on my EX1?
Kind regards,

Thanks.
I’ve hired a hand to help who will be over the 2nd static camera. I was thinking for a fail safe link him up with two G2s, just incase one fails or starts popping, which is what happened before and almost ruined a live recording. Actually thinking about it, I think I saved the day by switching to auto. But don’t want to risk interference with two – could this happen?
One last thing. Anything I need to know about the EX1R. Is it much different from the EX1?
Kind regards,

OK. Thanks. I’m sure I read somewhere not to put the control on auto…although if it works for you!
Re matching picture, I guess picture profiles should do it?
I get nervous filming live events! 🙂

Great. Thanks.
And where would you target?

Really useful info. It’s sounds facinating.
So do you hear the interviewers questions on the end product?

Thank you for your very detailed response. Much appreciated.
Well I have £12,000 of kit and have produced some very good work I’m the past, so confident I can get a good interview.
I’ve also had a lot of practice at interviews and people feel relaxed, but obviously the most important part is getting the story to flow. Normally I would direct people to answer the question as though they were simply telling someone about it, rather then respond directly to the question. That way the viewer is led seamlessly into the answer without needing to know the question.
I presume you don’t hear the interviewers question off camera? Or is it set-up as an interview? Although I only have 1 EX1, I could look to take some close ups of hands and some near focused shots with the client out focus in the background. I can take these after and meld them into the production to make it more engaging. I wish I had two cameras.

Good advice. Thank you. Although I have many high end corporate vids now on my site, the hardest thing is convincing people to go ahead without a sample,
However, if I get my ‘sales pitch’ right, I’m sure they will buy into it.
So were you thinking more like £300-£400 for an almost straight cut? Can’t see it would be too difficult to layer some images in there for a bit of added effect.

It’s ok. I’d rather someone was honest 🙂
I thought of exactly they idea before. Someone is doing it in Cambridge, but there work is awful and should not see the light of day. I cannot believe she actually charged people.
I even went to a bowls club and interviewed lots of older people. They loved the idea, but were put off by the price. I was pitching at around £700-£1,500 Inc old video, pictures, fully designed DVD and cover in a wooden case with an old photo engraved on the front.
But for many it was too expensive, so I never pursued it. The person doing it in the next town said it was too time consuming, but I’m not convinced she was planning it out properly.
I was thinking of picking a few valued memories, get some images/footage to go with it and then end up with a product that is no longer then 20 mins.
Maybe I should look into it again.
