I know this is a big ask but I think it’s a good idea for a future episode. I’d love to see a walkthrough of essential equipment and essential crew for no-budget film makers trying to get into narrative film making for short films. How can you be prepared to shoot with at least two cameras, a reasonable audio setup, and have what you need for interiors, exteriors, and difficult shooting locations all while working with next to no budget?

Thank you so much for backing me up on this subject! :-) So many arrogant newbies think timecode/countdown/2-pop is old school and outdated. It's insane the lack of knowledge some professionals even have when it comes to post-production sound. It's become such a Drag-and-Drop soundpack Generation that completely disregards LUFS as well.

I just picked up 2 sets of the TC-1 Kit 3 Pack, which now gives me 6 of these bad boys for my future projects. Yes, it is more than I need at any one time, but it is always good to have redundancy. In case anyone is interested... the factory foam cutouts that came with the 3 pack manufactures box, pulls out and fits perfectly into 1/2 of a Nanuk 909 hard case. So now all 6 of my TC-1's have the perfect storage solution and includes space for all the cables. Yay!!

This is so "boring" but so cool to see at the same time! Really appreciated covering all stages of production and when you need to bring it up or it can be used to your advantage.

What an awesome episode. Love getting in depth with timecode. Something that could go hand in hand would be an episode on IFB/IEM systems while on small and large sets. I know there are so many combos and I really wanna know how to implement them outside of budget cringing industry standard.

Super helpful. I have a hard time wrapping my head around timecode and each episode gives me more clarity.

Here’s an idea for a future episode. How does timecode get utilize when you have a small production and a camera like the fx3, fx30 or A7IV OR A7SIII. AND it does not natively support timecode due to the face it has no limo pin so you have to do timecode via recording jack? How do you use lav packs and timecode at the same time? I know this is a loaded question but that’ll make for a great videos and it’ll answer my question. I hope this is chosen.

Thanks Andrew, great video. This is going to make my life much easier once I get it down. I'm up a running with four TC-1 boxes. Guess I need one more soon for a spare. I'd love to see a blow by blow of a 2 or three camera production from soup to nuts. Pre-pro... production (drill down to different cameras)... ingest... post (Resolve, Premiere, Avid). Also a shout out to David in support for setting me straight. Thanks again.

Question / Video idea:

Comparing lavalier mic with boom mic. Differences and strengths!

Stoked to find out the R7 has timecode, hoping to start using it soon

When working at Charter Cable, we had 4hr recordings of LTC so we could shoot more multicam projects at once (only had one ‘house clock’) So if you can’t afford your own LTC generator, a recording fed thru a mixer to multiple cameras can do the trick. Ain’t perfect but beats the pants off waveform sync.

This was exactly the kind of video I was wanting!! Perfect timing.

Thanks for this awesome episode! Maybe next topic could be all the different connectors used in audio/video production…
Beside jacks and xlr there’s a world of different standards!

I think a great episode topic would be about including your sound mixer in the location scouting process. Explain things sound mixers look and listen for at each location and what things they can prep to make each space sound as clean as possible.

Thank you so much for this! Could you make a video of running different sound on set? From beginner set ups to a pro set up possibly?

Very interesting when we shoot in NYC we don't use a time code bix nor time code slate just a normal clap board old school style because of the type of budget but at the end of the day it all comes into play in post production. We keep audio/video logs which helps the editing process and the production gets done. We use DSLR camaras on location which don't carry a built in time code bnc input but my Zoom F4 field recorder definitely has both sync ports in the case we use a pro camara with the addition feature then were good to go in sync.

You should talk about gain staging for you next episode. Great insight BTW!

I completely get the idea of timecode. Where the confusion creeps in, is related to the devices. How many generators do I need! One for each camera? One for each transmitter/receiver? Deity has a brand new line with built in timecode, how does that factor in? The idea that timecode is a reference point that syncs up video and audio is not hard to grasp. Where I get confused is, where timecode needs to be generated by third party device, or is built in (like with the new Deity Theos system).I really need diagrams and a detailed understanding of different timecode situations. What timecode does is relatively simple. How timecode is implemented, what, when, where, why, seems like endless options for decisions and choices. I have the Deity interview kit, pocket connect and interested in the new Theos system. How does timecode integrate with all the different possibilities?

How important is a digital slate versus the old school clap or wooden slate? Can you show us how to work the digital slate?
