Purchased a new wireless mic the other day and I finally tested it today.

Works great. You can click on the picture for a larger view.

This is a wireless set up which mounts on my camera and gives me freedom of movement.

It’s only a mono audio mic so I’ll have to adjust the pan (make it stereo) in my video editing software but since this will be more for interviews — like we did on the 2010 Blessed Sacrament Catholic School Sports Banquet videos me and my buddies put together — it will work just fine.

We got a lot of “air conditioning” background noise with my boom mic while filming the coach interviews in the gymnasium so this mic will help eliminate that background noise since the lapel mic pins onto the subject just below their chin. They clip the transmitter onto their belt and I have the receiver mounted on my camera hot shoe.

For the price, this setup works pretty good so I’m pleased. I had the help of my Emmy testing it. She stood about 20 feet away reading a Nancy Drew mystery novel to me.

Jeez, I’m starting to look professional eh?

This is just excellent! I rap/video about Dads.

I’m ashamed to say…I could be in this video. Okay…maybe not that ashamed.

LOL.

This is just wild. Ever wonder what it would it would feel like to be in a “B Movie” about giant birds attacking your plane?

Well, here you go. You will not be disappointed.

Apparently a couple of guys flew their RC plan near a bird that did not like them in “his” airspace.

Saw this from a website I visit regulary – link below.

I was reading this webpage I frequent and ran across this picture of how they actually created the Star Wars crawl intro.

Just goes to show – you don’t need CG all the time.

It states in the article (see link below) that George Lucas later replaced the intro crawl with computer-generated crawls.

So That’s How They Filmed the Star Wars Opening Crawl…

Wow…1982. I’m dating myself. But it is a cool video.

Missing Persons – yeah baby.

***Update 5.21 – this sucks – they won’t let me embed the video into my blog so you’ll get a message in youtube video to see it on youtube – but it does provide a link. ***
