My opinion...the commercial was a fantastic idea. I see only two issues with it. The girl came in kind of unexpectedly. I would have liked to see her tied into the commercial more. And if only the copier could have more consistently released doritos, rather than in one bunch, more of a stream type deal (but I know this could have been difficult)
Hey yeah man that was pretty good. I think the best thing to do would be to invest some money in an overhead mic. See there was just too much background noise.
I agree 100%. The mic I used was a Sennheiser ME66/K6P on the Sony EX1. I have no idea why it picked up so much ambient, but the audio is pretty bad. Do I really need to invest in the MKH-416 and a boom pole? I never have been able to figure out how to get good audio - it is completely beyond me.
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure there are some low budget ways of getting good audio as well. Now, you'll obviously want some method of keeping the mic close, but out of view. So if you can find some other way of hanging the mic, that's good. So something with good pickup, but then you'll want to almost completely drown out the ambient audio (depending on your scene) and so the best way to do that would be to put one of those nice fluffy mic covers on it.
Yeah I defintley needed a boom pole for this, and I did not have a big cover on it, just a standard softie. I have some projects coming up and I will see what happens. I might just end up hiring an audio guy and learning from him.
@eos1dmkiin If you get a 'audio interface' to connect even a 'cheap' mic into a laptop, you could even capture the audio into something like Audacity (free) or Garageband (Mac) and then synch up the audio in post. It will be clean.
NICE JOB on the concept and the shoot btw. The background noise in this case is a nice touch IF it is controlled. Since there is no dialogue, you could even have completely muted the audio and dropped in your own 'room tone' and/or elevator music and pa speaker FX

Otherwise, completely awesome.

funny, i think you had a good idea. very promising. i think the sound quality brought the "over all" quality down, but funny though.
