Yo. So I got something cooking. A sound pack... to create new instrumentals but also add to existing songs.Β 

I'm talking piano, strings, drums, pads, vocals, guitar...
... not all downbeat "cinematic" stuff. We're aiming to get some more upbeat stuff in there too.Β 

I know what I want and need...Β 

... but what do you think you guys would benefit from?Β

Looking for a Social Media Reel Editor.Β 

This is early development... and totally up in the air budget-wise but I wanna find out if anyones open to talk.Β 

Everyone says... make time for social media. I just don't have it... but I'm 100% in agreement that it's important. I wanna hit social media with a bang in the summer onwards.Β 

However, I want a bank of reels to be consistant with.Β 
I'd like to send someone the files and timelines of my films and they create 3 reels from the full film. Not just a copy and paste job... a manipulation of the clips to create engaging reels that shows the style and whats possible.Β 

Davinci Resolve user preferred and timelines sent back for me to make tweaks. Musicbed it a plus.Β Β 

Anyone interested and willing to talk?Β

I currently have 2 DR10L Pros. Should I sell them and go for Deity or Tentacle, as I want to start having Timecode? I know you can buy the BT adapters and then the Atamos ultra sync stuff, but would that be more money/hassle?Β

I can shoot Open Gate 6k at 25fps on my camera (S5iix). Would you use this format for weddings, or would it be better in a different format?

I know it was supposed to be a learning opportunity but I learned that what I’m teaching is working. Best feedback for me was seeing yall run the style like second nature. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

I have a question. I am building my rig out for my Canon R6 MKII. I am looking for a shotgun mic with onboard recording and 32-bit float (if it has time code that would be great as well). I can't plug it into the camera directly since the TC-1 will be feeding the camera time code.Β 


Any suggestions?

And right after I posted this, Justin's video for the Tascam fr-av2 came up on YouTube.Β 

So, if my brain is processing this correctly, I can use the tc1 to jam sync the Tascam, then plug a shotgun mic into the tascam and I am good regarding the shotgun mic and recording on-the-fly interviews and well wishes. Am I missing anything?
