CARNAGE: Filming date(s) 20th/21st October

[Fallout]

Bearing deadlines and stuff in mind, the filming date(s) really have to be this coming weekend (20th/21st). Location should be fairly local. Nathan to confirm if we can use the old military hanger, otherwise this week I'll find somewhere else.

If you're interested in helping, please can you confirm which dates you're available for shananigans. Anyone who doesn't want to be on camera can still help. I'm going to play around with attaching a mic to a long stick and see if I can get a good boom mic recording solution this week. So the following other rolls are available:

-Sound man (requirement: ability to keep boom out of shot and not be a pleb)
-Camera man (requirement: a vague understanding of framing the shot)
-Man who walks behind camera man and helps him avoid crashing into things (a mild interest in health and safety or touching the camera man's ****)

Please confirm availability!

Attendees:
Fallout (Both days)
Spank (Both days)
DaddyJob (Both days)
ThunderAce (Both days)

What equipment are you running in terms of camera/mic? If it was a bit nearer, and I wasn't out for a mates birthday on Friday night/at the official dinner on sunday I'd have come down to help out..

Well ifs and whats are useless to me. Consider yourself a slag!

Well my camera is quite lame, but it's new lame. So while it's towards the bottom of the range, it is at least HD and suitable for basic filming tasks. I wouldn't like to use it in low light or for sports footage. As for the sound, I have a great little omni-directional mic I bought for environmental sound recording (for game sound effects) years go. Tiny, but cool. Going to attach that to a stick of bambo and plug it into my IRiver MP3 recorder at the other end. Voila. Budget but decent quality audio.

[Paul the 6th]

audio should be ok for what you need

Camera-wise, is it worth borrowing or hiring a D-SLR with HD video capability? Seems a *LOT* of video production guys are running D-SLR's in various steering wheel mounts lately, great optics = great video..

Just sayin'... And yes I am the slag of all snacks

Paul, I offered him my DSLR with HD video! I even offered to drive it to him. I don't have a separate mic but we do have one for the work camera which I'm sure they would have lent to me. But no I shall instead spend my weekend lazing on my sofa eating Maltesers and quietly sniffling at being snubbed.

It was where you said it would cost you £20 in diesel to collect it and I replied that I wasn't expecting you to collect it. You also reckoned your time was worth about £25 per hour and I may have said more like £2.50.

  Simon Keating 4 hours of my time, £20 diesel etc. I could buy a cheapo tripod for that Clare but the offer is appreciated.

  Clare Skinner I wasn't expecting you to drive to me you muppet! And I've worked it out that that tripod is £120 at least, so taking off £20 for diesel that means you reckon you are worth £25 an hour. I'd say closer to £2.50.
