It was not exactly an accident, though the image was a bit 'wider' than I'd have preferred. Tradeoffs.
I don't like wearing lavalier mics for this sort of thing (an extra layer of complexity, and they have to be headsets to avoid vocal amplitude changing) and the stereo image reduces the apparent echoeyness of the space. The main goal was to sound better than last vid :-)
- sneak 14y agoCould you perhaps make a quick write-up about the making of the video? I was more impressed with the fact that it was produced using all F/OSS software than anything. Other than the type on the title cards looking goofy, the production value is higher than anything I've ever seen come out of a non-fruity unix box. FCP is one of the very last reasons I still have a mac...
- xiphmont 14y agoThere's a fairly detailed writeup about the making of the previous video: http://wiki.xiph.org/Videos/A_Digital_Media_Primer_For_Geeks/making http://wiki.xiph.org/Videos/A_Digital_Media_Primer_For_Geeks... Only a few things have changed since then. I've done some more work within Cinelerra (I wrote a new resampler and a new color grading filter for it this time around). I'm also using a pair of matched suspension microphones (AT853a Unipoints) instead of the Crown boundary piezeos, which I've decided just aren't suited to anything I do. Cinelerra is not for the faint of heart, and I don't casually recommend it. It is very powerful, rather unfriendly, and picky about the formats it uses. However, it will do things none of the other FOSS editors can.
