Just a quick caveat: I did this for an immersive video thing to do with the Olympics on a boat down the Thames. The end result (audio, that is) was phenomenally boring. Basically, what I got was engine noise and a bit of water sloshing by. Nothing to do with the mic, everything to do with the fact that this particular boat engine was really noisy.
The mic (ST450 in this case) was mounted as high as we could get it on the roof of the boat, but still, mainly engine noise. The only interesting bits were when we went under a bridge or two and the helicopter doing the rehearsal for Her Majesty The Queen’s parachute jump into the Olympic stadium. You will need a really good shock-mount and a really good windshield, otherwise all you’ll get is rumble and wind-blast. Can we do pictures here? If so, here are a couple of the set-up. We also had five MKH416s arranged in around the boat as a sort-of wide 5.0 system. Manfrotto Magic arms and SuperClamps were invaluable. Best of luck, I hope yours turns out better than mine… John Please note new email address & direct line phone number email: [email protected] phone +44 (0)20 3286 5942 > On 22 Jan 2016, at 16:59, Billy Wirasnik <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm filming a 10hr ride down the Hudson River in real time and would > ideally have a surround recording of the experience. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
