An Indie Filmmaker’s Core Audio Kit and Tipsby Shawn C. Steiner

Among the biggest mistakes beginner and indie filmmakers make is not putting effort into audio. One-man bands are es-pecially susceptible, with audio being one more thing to worry about. Bad audio can break a film and make it practically unwatchable. People can forgive some errors in a video—there is that little thing called suspension of disbelief—but, they

absolutely will not forgive unintelligible dialogue, improperly mixed sounds, or distorted audio. With just a few key tools and a little bit of knowledge, you can upgrade your audio game

What’s in the Bag?Everyone wants to preach, “It’s not about

the gear.” Well, they are right—until it is about the gear. Just because you have a fancy new DSLR that shoots 4K video on its awesome full-frame sensor doesn’t mean you will instantly be recording amazing au-dio. Far from it. Internal microphones on cameras are notoriously bad; they don’t have great pre-amps, they can’t get that close to their subject, and they are gener-ally not spectacular to begin with. There’s no such thing as a free lunch and, with rel-atively affordable stills cameras with video capabilities, many compromises will need to be made. In most cases, these compro-mises come on the audio side.

The best practice would be to pick up some dedicated audio equipment. Starting off, the easiest recommendation is a shot-gun microphone. RØDE’s now classic Vid-eoMic series is among the best and most popular, with lightweight, compact designs that just work. Pop in a battery, connect it

to your camera’s audio input, and you now have vastly improved audio without much effort. Moving up from this you will want a serious shotgun microphone for use on a boompole—just like in the movies! A boom is used to get the mic closer to your subject and record cleaner audio. Shotgun mics are also known for a directional pickup pat-tern so that you can point it at your subject and hear just them. This makes them out-standing tools for filmmaking because you can keep them out of the frame and still record excellent audio.

The second mic to pick up would be a la-valier. This one should be obvious for any-one who shoots interviews or talking heads.

AUDIO FOR VIDEOAN INDIE FILMMAKER’S CORE AUDIO KIT

It’s small omnidirectional mic that can be attached to a shirt or jacket for quick and easy pickup of voices without being a large, obnoxious thing to carry around or set up. It’s much more mobile and doesn’t require a second person to operate like a boom-pole would. Being so effective and compact makes it a no-brainer for an indie film-maker’s kit.

Optimal recording will require a dedi-cated audio recorder. With one, you gain professional-quality inputs, multiple mix-ing techniques, optimized physical con-trols, and better-quality audio components. Using one introduces you to dual-system sound, meaning you are going to be record-ing the audio and video separately. This is also the moment to get familiar with a slate with clapper sticks. Assuming many one-man-band filmmakers are also their own editors, this will do you so much good. It makes syncing up your footage and audio much easier because you can match up the clap with the spike in audio levels and the moment the sticks hit in the frame. Or you can do the same with the clean audio and the scratch audio recorded by the camera.

Recorders bring with them professional inputs, as we mentioned. Specifically, you should be looking for XLR inputs if you are getting serious with your audio equipment. This allows you to use high-end micro-phones that rely on this connector. It is also a much more secure option than your more common 3.5mm jack. If you are looking at some serious microphones, you will even-tually need to upgrade to XLR in part of your audio capture system.

Finally, perhaps the most important tool in your bag is a set of solid headphones. Just because you have good mics, a great recorder, and good technique, doesn’t mean the audio is perfect. You absolutely must put on a set of headphones and lis-ten for any issues before you start record-ing. Levels can be deceiving because they don’t tell you whether there is a low hum in the background or some handling noise interfering with your mic or recorder. And, if you have someone speaking in your video and the audio isn’t workable, then that take is unusable.

Core KnowledgeGetting gear won’t solve every issue,

which is why the phrase, “It’s not about the gear,” is very true. Capturing clean audio has a lot to do with technique, and you can do a lot with inexpensive equipment. It is also another technical area of filmmaking because there are numerous settings and numbers-based settings to track.

An example of this is simply setting the proper recording format. The most com-mon choices will be MP3 and WAV. Go with WAV because it is an uncompressed format, while MP3 will reduce your audio quality. Bit depth is the next option and you will be fine at 16, though bumping up to 24 won’t hurt. Finally, for sampling rate, I rec-ommend sticking with 48kHz. These are pretty much standard these days so there is no need to deviate all that much.

For recording, you should start by watch-ing your levels. You will generally want to keep your levels between -6 to -12 dB. Any-thing lower and you will have to amplify your signal in post and introduce noise; higher and you risk peaking and causing distortions by breaking the 0 dB limit of most recording systems. It’s a safe place to be, though if you are worried about loud noises, you can use functions such as a limiter to prevent losing audio when the volume rises unexpectedly.

Another setting you may find on your recorder is the low-cut filter. This is use-ful for reducing some background noises. Think the hum of a fridge or air conditioner. Ideally, you should turn these noisy devices off but, in some cases, you just can’t and the filter will help minimize their impact. You can also pick up a couple of blankets and they can be used to help silence prob-lematic devices in the background. In many cameras and certain mics, you may notice a wind filter setting. This can help prevent wind from destroying your audio, but it is far from ideal. When shooting outside, a wind-screen is highly recommended.

By using this basic set of guidelines and a few select tools that you can easily add to your bag, you can transform the audio quality of your productions. Good audio is a critical step in making your productions sound professional and increases gen-eral watchability of the videos themselves. Make sure you are thinking as much about sound as you are about video. ■

Shotgun Mics are characterized by a long narrow tube design, not unlike the barrel of a shotgun. These highly directional mics are commonly used for ENG, broadcast, and location sound applications. They provide a narrower angle of acceptance that isolates the subject’s sound from unwanted “off-axis” ambient sound. Shotguns are frequently mounted on boompoles or directly onto a camera in more basic setups.

Boom Poles from Auray

Why Auray?ALL MODELS:

Telescoping Boom Poles from Auray are designed to accommodate Electronic News Gathering (ENG), Electronic Field Production (EFP), documentary, and other field recording applications. With sizes ranging from 2' to 16', they allow you to place a microphone in close proximity to the subject, while remaining at a distance and out of the frame.

The Auray ABP series is constructed of sturdy, light-weight aluminum, and the CFP series is made from rein-forced carbon fiber composite. Models from both series are available with or without an integrated XLR cable. Auray also offers a wide range of accessories to enhance and expand our boom poles and tailor them to fit any project.

Drop-Through Modular Design lets you quickly and easily add or change tips, cables, and extensions without any special tools or skills.

Integrated Coiled XLR Cable smoothly extends and retracts with the telescoping tubes. The cable also features a unique strain relief system.
