First shoot with an actor with the Scarlet

[Youness Benali]

So this is the first shoot with an actor that I have done with Scarlet.
The audio was recorded with a Zoom H4N, and I thought that I 'double' recorded the audio,
but for some reason there was no audio captured from the scarlet, at least that's what Premiere shows ...

I have it on 23.96 fps in the time base menu and then it's set to shoot in 24 fps in the fps menu​.
I know I am missing something, just can't figure out what...?

Do you hear audio in REDCINE-X Pro? Unless you "hacked" Premiere Scarlet audio is not supported.

 

[Domenic Barbero]

you have sync all sound files first in red cine x before right?

He probably didn't use RCX-Pro to sync everything because he recorded sound with an H4n which does not have timecode. My guess is he synced it manually in Premiere.

 

[Youness Benali]

Yeah Brandon is correct I manually synced the sound in Premiere.
Ok so either hack Premiere or sync it in RCX-PRO, thanks for the info guys!

in my opinion: weird, from beginning to the end. no offence meant

Can you elaborate a little about your choices?

- Framing why leave so much headspace?
- Color, did you purpeously not do a white balance?

I think it's framed that way so you can't see what he's eating. There's a white balance, but the dude is clearly morbidly pale/zombie-style, hence the look... Just guessing.

Either way, it's crazy how something as subtle as under-eye shadow can make a dude look so off​/unnatural.

Hi Daniel, as Mike says, it is framed in that sense so that we can not see what he's eating.
Colour wise I wanted him to pop out, make it more theatrical, hence the make up is a bit over exaggerated.
Weird from beginning to the end was kinda what I wanted when I wrote the monologue,
but now I think it would have made sense to make him even more weird each time he comes up from his plate of maggots.

Ps there is so much of the camera that I need to learn, but I am loving it so far !

 

[Daniel Kunz]

you could have gone much closer without seeing what he is eating.
And colorwise you could have gone much more darker and stylized like in the examples above.
I didn't find the make up to be exxagerated.

Keep on filming, don't let the camera get in your way!

I thought the framing was perfect. Felt like he was in one of those padded rooms. Like we were looking at him through that little window in the door - we could hear what he was saying but couldn't tell what he was really doing because the window wasn't big enough. But there was NO WAY we were going to open the door to find out! Great monologue too!
