Planning is everything...

While I have been working alone I have had the luxury of experimenting with capturing sound with the plans being only in my head. For the Georgian song sequence, I teamed up with Dan Nyman who is an experienced ex TV producer. Dan agreed to operate the cameras. Which was a relief as I was capturing the audio, directing, and also one of the singers.

I have been planning capturing the Audio of six singers and filming at the same time.

I have plotted out diagrams the formations of the singers around the Binaural head so that Dan and I are both clear on what we are doing and I can communicate clearly to the singers who have generously volunteered their time.
