Audio Check Smartphone Film Production - Julian Bate-Vergette

Tuesday Feb 08, 2022

We met Julian Bate-Vergette in episode 115. Julian’s experience and studies make him a great resource to get motivated about audio quality for your mobile films. Audio quality can make or break your film. Mobile filmmakers who are not experienced filmmakers do not always have the resources to make their films sound amazing. But that doesn’t mean your audio needs to be so poor it distracts from the overall quality of your film. Listen to episode 120 as we have a serious discussion about audio.  I am going to pick Julian’s brain so you don’t have to, and you won’t need a lot of audio tech knowledge to understand it all. What we discuss: Mic check basics Room Tone: why and when it’s important When you need external audio capture Shotgun mic or wireless clip on Cheat extra audio track layers with iPhones Audio Film Formats for video Much More...
