First post. Please offer as much help as you can.
My filmmaking team (3 of us) will soon be shooting some important footage for a documentary film.
We're interested in having one of us be a dedicated sound-recorder for
this new footage, independent of either of the two XL2 cameras that would
be filming (though obviously also capturing sound).
We're thinking that the independence of the sound recorder (not cabled to either camera)
will allow a less cumbersome filming process and lend versatility to our sound samplings.
We will be following the subject through the woods hunting, reuniting with family,
and walking through the scene of a crime.
I'm guessing one of us will carry around a portable DAT with a boom mic, and trying
later, just by ear & scrupulous tape-labeling, to synch up whatever sound we might want to use
from the DAT. But I was wondering what you would recommend for this
setup. What options might we have for simplifying any later
synchronization of the independent audio recording? Would you
recommend a different approach altogether?
