Hey, gang. Thanks for the input on camcorders that work well in lower light. I'm very pleased with my new Sony PD-170.
So, now I have two camcorders, and this means that, light conditions permitting, I'm doing more multiple-camera stuff. I just got done stitching together most of the footage from my first major multi-camera piece, and I've been noticing how much of my time goes syncing up the two cameras. Picking the right camera at the right time? That's easy. But every clip must by synced for both cameras before I can do that. I'm lucky that this is a sporting event with a lot of referee whistles, so I can use that to get two shots in sync, but it's still fairly tedious and time consuming. I'm curious...is there a better way to be doing this? I realize now why it's so much easier to run all the cameras to a common control room and have a director calling out the camera to switch to. -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime http://www.weatherlight.com/greentime
