Join David Roman, an important figurehead in the local film community, as he guides us through an educational workshop based on the fundamentals of recording location audio on a film set. This workshop will look at dual system recording, arming and mixing tracks, metering in the digital age, different microphones and their pickup patterns, placing wireless mics on talent, proper boom operation, and how to get great audio with whatever is at your disposal -- even a cell phone.
