One of the things I learned very quickly when using video is the need for clear audio. It doesn't matter how good the video looks, if the audio is poor, then the video is not going to be well received. Over the years I have invested in good, portable microphones even invested in a radio mic system. This worked really well but when working in a motorsport environment, a broad range of radio frequencies are used for various uses and radio microphone frequencies are strictly controlled. in some countries you also need to buy a licence, which can cost hundreds of pounds, so I quickly reverted back to wired microphones. This brought its own problems as when interviewing drivers the surrounding environment can be noisy, so you need to get the microphone as close as possible. Of course, the extra added complication in the last few months means the interviewer has to stand at least 1.5 metres, which means wires trailing across the floor, which isn't good. In March
Brilliant as usual. For the Samyang 8mm fisheye, I've found that a photoshop plug-in filter by Image Trends Inc., the Fisheye Hemi filter, dramatically increases the keep rate of my shots by dialing back some of the more distracting distortion while preserving the unique attributes of the focal length. Highly recommended.
