Comments on: Filming interviews with DSLRs & recording sound separately and how to sync the bloody lot up! Also the advantages of IS lenses for them. http://philipbloom.net/2010/01/23/is/ Filmmaker, DP, Director Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:27:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Neil Smythe http://philipbloom.net/2010/01/23/is/comment-page-1/#comment-249422 Neil Smythe Tue, 13 Dec 2011 11:43:28 +0000 http://philipbloom.co.uk/?p=7374#comment-249422 As usual you've come up trumps! Haven't had this problem in 18 months of using the 7D but it has suddenly reared its head and I think it's because I trashed my prefs a while back so it has reverted to a different frame rate. Went through loads of posts elsewhere saying it was the internal clock of the 7D but this makes more sense. Trying it now; thanks as ever for the info. As usual you’ve come up trumps!

I've shot a lot on the Sony EX cameras and other non-DSLR video cameras but thought we would try the 7D for this. Have you experienced the exposure shift when zooming in using a fixed aperture L-series lens? Everything set to manual - all digital settings on manual. See this link for an example: http://vimeo.com/18032392 I had exactly the same thing on the 24-105. I don't have the luxury of stopping the interview and setting the exposure every time I zoom in or out so this kind of renders the 7D not suitable for this kind of interview. Any thoughts on this phenomena? I do like the look from the DSLRs when it works however the more I use the 7D the more I think it is great for getting beautiful timelapse and non-critical backup shots - but for professional video where we can't risk a shot going bad it just doesn't quite cut it. Anyways, thanks again for all the great info on your site. Cheers Hi Philip,

I am trying to find the easiest and best way to record sound. I was going to record double system using protools and a boom and lav mics. Two problems: Is there an easier way to use the boom and record in camera using some kind of beachtek? Second: Today a sound guy scared me by suggesting that the video and audio wouldn't sync. He said something about experiencing that problem. The 7D records 48k and 16bit right? And would that video match the same specs for protools? Sound is definitely not my area... Hi Philip,

Say like a MacBook Pro using an audio interface like the Apogee ONE. This would be particularly useful if you were shooting in an indoor interview situation.

I've been reading all your posts this past week -- I'm completely fascinated by the HD-DSLR community! But... If you did it all over again, would you have the same set up? Would you have brought instead your EX3 with Letus Extreme (since you have it plus glass anyway)? What was your deciding factor in doing the interviews HD-DSLR? Am trying to weigh pros and cons as we are just about to make a big equipment purchase for documentary (heavy on interviewing). Any feedback would be great! Thanks! Thanks for the great info.

I'm guessing you may know another Chris Keenan who shoots a lot for broadcast in UK? If so then it won't be the first time our identities have been confused by people. Be up for your thoughts on my recent music video shot with 5D and Lensbaby muse: http://vimeo.com/13755614 You can see more of my work on http://www.primeobjective.co.uk Cheers! Hi Philip,
