Kudos to Kim and Ursa Straps for making these insightful videos. Such a treasure trove of ideas and processes on how to improve in this craft. For me one big take away from this one is the time Devendra spent designing his workflow first. It looks like that was done in Pages! Mind blown. I never saw it as a useful program. Lesson learned!
What a lovely guy, and what a great interviewer. That is a wonderfully designed cart; it's lovely to see Devendra's devotion to his craft, and the cleaning cart idea is just spot on.
44:00 - the ultralight plant mic arm. Yes! BTW, absolutely love the mix of Schoeps and Sennheiser. They really do form an arsenal of solutions to various acoustic environments and reach and rejection requirements. Super clean Devendra, I like how this is all put together for speed and ease.
Love this cart build, truly a TANK! All the soft prep time appears to have paid off well :) So inspiring to dream up the possibilities with Dante integration and the Cantar, Lectro.. Thanks Devendra for sharing your process, thanks Kim and URSA for doing these videos, they are really insightful. And good on you for returning to music composition, Kim!
Thank you James! I think we got really lucky with this interview - so much new stuff! We should meet up with Devendra again I think to see how he got on.
Yep im also a SCHOEPSNHEISER guy and your carts (all the 3 presented) looks brilliant Devendra ! X3 is really a game changer (im French too...perhaps a kind of "nationalism" )
Interesting kit, much of it I don't yet begin to understand, although I have heard of some brands. I'm a long term photographer attempting to now upskill myself in videography and sound, really as an enthusiastic amateur. I can't see I'll ever need this kind of complexity. For sound kit I'm using a Sound Devices MixPre 6ii - which seemed pretty sophisticated when I bought it last year. I just started buying good lav mikes Cos 11d to replace my Sony OEMs that bundled with my Sony UHF packs and dual receiver. I also use a Sen 416 MKH and I'm saving for a better boompole and a Sennheiser MKH 50 for indoor use. Well I'm lucky I don't really need to save, but I'm loath to keep spending ever more on sound kit, lenses, lights, cameras etc etc until I have been able to get more out of the quite good kit I already own. Time to get out more, practice and up my game is what I really need. But an interesting tour around a high end cart that makes me realise why some production budgets run into millions $ and use a tech crew counted in hundreds.
Why in the world is she carrying the bag while in a static shot / interview? Is it surgically attached to her and if so, who is responsible for that. And why? I have so few questions.
@@d-sx560 Hi ! I know this has already been explained but I wanted to chime in, since I am the one in the video with the bag "surgically attached" to my body. So far I have not saved enough money to have it ACTUALLY surgically installed to my side, but hoping to be at that point early next year! That way, I will ALWAYS have my little sound bag draped off the side of my body! lol, I kid, I kid.... seriously though, it was me who made the decision to do that, have the bag in all the videos, and I know it might look odd, but I love that combination of sound mixing and conversing.
@@KyllandMusic It’s all fun and games till the tape in the Nagra breaks 🤯 right in the middle of take 12 - the one where everyone hit their marks, and everything else was perfect.... You guys don’t know how lucky you are, or, perhaps you do 🤔
I really like "What's in your kit" series, but do we really need all those "oh my gosh!", "yhmm", "oh wow!", "uuuu, beautiful, look at that" etc? I see only one thumb down (not mine) so probably it is only me who finds the interviewer a bit annoying.
hi Karol, I am the interviewer in the video. I totally hear what you are saying, and have even thought this myself when going through the edit process, but to be honest, it just kind of happens in the moment. I am a really talkative and social person, so it happens without me realizing it sometimes. Also, all the people in the videos are friends of mine, so it really feels like hanging with a friend when we shoot these episodes. Though I do agree with you a bit that it's not always great to have me interjecting with my "ohhs" and "ahhs", it's just a bit of my natural curiosity and genuine excitement that bubbles out! :) . All part of my learning process, since I have never really been a 'host' or 'interviewer' before this year. Bear with me as I get better at this! Thanks for watching! - sending you warmth! -- Kim Kylland
I have to say that I’m normally very nervous on camera. Every answer by me would have sounded unsure and incomplete if not for Kim’s gifted ability to put me at ease and make it just like a conversation with a friend; because that’s exactly what it was. She’s genuinely into the craft and has a bright future ahead of her in front of and behind the camera. Todd was amazing to work with as well and made the process so easy. I’m so grateful for their work and their friendship.
There's a lot to unpack from this video that is above the question I'm about to ask, but what In-Ears is she using ? LOL and is there a wireless monitoring option out there and if so, what kinda transmitter is used on a budget level ?
he's such a generous person thats how i want to live my life, to be a generous sound mixer in audio visual production. Kuddos to Devandra!!! cheers from Indonesia
