XL1 - Help with Audio!
|
Can't Post

Hello everybody, I am new in this forum. I need some help. I am going to be shooting a documentary with 2 cameras. One is a Cannon XL1 and the other one a Sony which does not have an audio input for professional recording. Some of the shoots will be inside a church and some of them outside, in the desert (I don’t think it will be very wind). In some of the shots, somebody will be singing (not from a microphone). Our budget is very tight so I was wondering if I could get away with not hiring an audio engineer. The question is: If a plug a boom microphone in the XL1 - which would be taking shots of the audience and a lapel wireless microphone in the Sony – which will be filming the singer or speaker – would I get a have a very good sound quality? Or should I get a get an audio engineer & audio mixer and plug the audio mixer to my XL1, which in turn would film the speaker/singer and let the other camera film the audience and cut away shots? Thanks guys!
