So my client wants sound

[chuck colburn]

A nice mic for a good price is the AKG C100. While it does not have the reach of a hypercardiod such as the Senn. 416 it does convert from cardiod to hyercardiod. It makes for a nice on board mic and it can be either battery or phantom powered.

And a very good dynamic mic. for voice overs etc. is the Shure SM-7. Michael Jackson used it for most of the Thriller album.

I've seen pictures where the RED has onboard mic, so I ask again, what parts do I need, to make this happen. I have time to practice this and get it right, I just need the hardware. So please telling me to get a sound man, I got that! Tell me, if you know, what hardware I need.

Thanks

Just because you can put a mic on it doesn't mean that is what you should do for sound. If it's just ambience that they want then that would be fine. If you're recording dialog or an interview then get a sound person. It's worth the money. You're not gonna be thinking about the sound when you're shooting and if they want the sound of what you're shooting then it is important enough to have someone who is going to be paying attention to it. A sound person is always the better choice.
