Re: H2 ZOOM DIGITAL RECORDER
My sound guy prefers the H4n for various reasons but mostly for the fact that it has the BNC connectors. Just so as not to confuse the uninitiated (and being the pedant that I am) I believe you are referring to the XLR connectors (which, I believe also take 1/4" jacks which may be useful if co...

Re: A guide to a PC's specifcation
FWIW I've been editing on a Sandy Bridge i7 2600K running at 4.7GHz since February and have had no issues - aside from the fact Intel announced the problems with the chipset two days after I'd bought it :roll: The system is self built to some extent but I bought a CPU/Motherboard/RAM re-overclocked ...

Re: How might BIAFF entries be judged?
How would it be, Tim, is there was agreement beforehand that members of the panel took it in turns to write a full report on a film, while the others could add comments if they wished? Simple, easily implemented and addresses the problem. Perfect, Dave! In fact, pretty much the way the new "Ad...

Re: How might BIAFF entries be judged?
Ken's suggestion has much going for it. I think there is little doubt that the more people who see a selection of films the more consistent results will be. I also believe that the opportunity to watch films more than once, as in judges viewing DVDs at home, might improve this. It would certainly he...

Re: Marketing of SIV's
What happens if you make an 'amateur' movie of an historic subject that people (hundreds, say!)want a copy of - want to buy? A dilema! You cannot make the copies - in cases with inserts etc - for free. You cannot charge because it breaks the amateur rules. On the basis that most historical subjects...

Re: H2 ZOOM DIGITAL RECORDER
I'd just like to add my name to the list of fans of the Zoom H2. I only use it with the built-in mics. I got a small but noticable amount of hiss when coupled with my Rode Videomic. The hiss was very specific ad thus easy to remove with budget level audio software (GoldWave being my choice), but why...

Re: DROUGHT INTO DRINK
Sorry I cannot help three and four Star film producers !! I'm not so sure, John. Of course specific help on technical points is helpful, but we need to remember that our wider audience cares nothing for such things. Their concern is whether the film flows smoothly, makes its points clearly and move...

Re: DROUGHT INTO DRINK
Well done for stickling your head above the parapet. There are two ways to get better: listen to and absorb and consider advice (and don't take it personally - it's the end result that's being analysed not you) and practice. Only you can look after the latter but I'm sure we'll all receive help with...

Re: Club Publicity - ideas wanted
With respect I think you narrowed the potential membership field by appealing to people who already make videos...etc Yes it was aimed at people with cameras, Ned. I think we see one of the main benefits of the a club is showing your work to others and giving and receiving feedback. We are trying t...

Re: Club Publicity - ideas wanted
That must have been really dissapointing. What would you do differently next time? Which club are you from? do you have a website? Staines Ciné & Video Society (changing to Staines Video Makers come September). Our website http://www.stainesvideo.co.uk was shortlisted in the IAC website competi...

Re: Chippenham Club web site
A nice introduction, at what I'd imagine the exactly the right pace and pitched at the right level for the average club member new to sound. What I particularly liked was the emphasis on ensuring the mic is switched on and using headphones to monitor. This was clearly born from experience - a mistak...

Re: "muting" HDMI signals
Thanks for the suggestions gents and the kind words from you Michael. Whilst the 2.5K unit is a comparitively good price, I'm not sure members woyld consider this good use of our limited funds. I'm interested in the AV amplifier solution, Col. We put everything through a Pioneer BLU-RAY recorder whi...

Re: "muting" HDMI signals
Since your projector is some distance from the operators such mechanical devices might need to be triggered by long pieces of string (!) or simple low-voltage motors and cables. Indeed the distance is the problem. However your suggestions prompt me to consider a contraption with pulleys and levers ...
