Best Way To Capture Quality Movie

For any of the AV specialists in here, we're trying to capture good videos with quality sounds. The focus should be  on the sounds. So, know what we might need and how much do we need to pay? The scenario is interviewing regular everyday people. We need videocams, lighting, and sound mixers and mics. We're mostly worried about the sounds. We were told to buy a videocam that has an auxiliary input, but we can't seem to locate those anywhere. HELP PLEASE?

It's been a while, fellow geeks. Not even a hint? Alright, let's take another approach at this. Has any of you ever posted high quality videos online? May we take a look please?

Gamer, thanks for your reply. We have a full HD camera, video quality is impressive. We're facing problems with the audio. Suggestions?

Re: Best Way To Capture Quality Movie

The best solution to get professional quality is to get a professional camera with an aux like you said on your first post. I am sure if you contact sony world or canon you will find your need.

I can share my little experience with AV, I set up from a few years av for an interview, we used two cameras, a sony and a canon. we had 5 or 6 mics one of them was wireless, plugged in a mixer; and the two outputs were plugged in each camera. Sounds quality was excellent on both cameras, no noises at all.

PS: If you just need an interview with only one person, you wont need a mixer, one of theses cameras  had two aux or three I don't remember..

I hope I helped.

Yes, just one person, closed room. I won't need a mixer? What about that slight noise?

Re: Best Way To Capture Quality Movie

make sure that the room doesn't create echo, carpet, or sponge like material helps, basically anything that can cancel noise in a room.

also make sure that the mic has a sponge on it, so it doesnt pick up breathing while talking

For only a one person, yes no need for the mixer if the camera is good enough. with the mixer you will get just more options and effects...for example you can put the micro like 2 or 3 meters away from the person and increase the  Gain on the mixer, plus it decrease the breathing problem..

And as Gamer said the room's condition is very essentials,  the best way to make a homemade studio is using
" lweh fallin " to cover the walls. It really absorb echo and it's cheap.
For something more professional you can get sounds absorbing panels.

Make sure there isn't any electrics cable near the mic's one, It does affect it.
