OXLEY SS Play - Video Production

FILMING
Use 3 cameras
Wide shot at back (Un attended)
Human (me) at the back with camera on tripod.
Student down the front.

All cameras recorded to SD card.
We recorded continuously so that I only have to adjust the lip sync once in post production.
Injested all 3 SD cards into the PC.

Edited with Serif MoviePlus X6.
This has a number of good points.  The only negative is that it does not do a thing called 'multicam' 

This multicam thing seems relativly new in the PC world.  Multicam is the ability for a video editing program to injest video from multiple cameras that have all recorded the same event.  Then to facilitate editing.  There are two key features required.
  • A method to assist in lining up the recordings.  This seems to primarrily be done by the program looking at the audio tracks and lining up on the audio.
  • A way of displaying multiple pictures on the screen at the same time.





This is a work in progress.
These option ideas are in no particular order.

1 SD CARD OPTION
We use our consumer camcorder HD SD card
and
Some other HD SD card camcorder.
At the back only.  And then put it together on the computer.
Could even have a person up the front to get some other angles.
AUDIO - 2 mics on the lighting grid.  Run the cables back to the 'other' HD camera.

2 BLACK MAGIC OPTION
Use Black Magic vision switcher.
Need to get a HDMI to composite converter
Need to check if I can read the Atmos Ninja files and edit them.
Need to work out what to do for audio
Need to buy some longish HDMI cables







3 ANALOGUE OPTION
AVE55 With Analogue Quads.
PD150 cameras.
Injest analogue video to our consumer camcorder and spit it out as firewire.
Find an old laptop with a firewire connector and use that to record to a USB hard disk drive.
Or
borrow one of Dean's recorders.
or record to our DVD recorder.
