A natural evolution for wedding photography<\/a> has always been wedding cinematography. In India, for many years – wedding cinematography was restricted to a continuous roll from static block cameras – which were subsequently edited to include horrendous location audio captured through the on-camera mic, or equally horrendous overlays of popular Bollywood tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we first started wedding photography and Indian Wedding Movies<\/a>, the idea was to use the magic of moving images to tell the couple’s story. Wedding filmmaking doesn’t always offer the luxury of having a dedicated sound engineer (though I’d love to have one along) or even elaborate sound sets for location audio. Most often, it’s the DOP or the cinematographer following a more run-and-gun approach, using whatever audio we were able to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s terrible when after a hectic shoot when you finally sit on your editing table to start your edits and realize your audio is crappy. I have been through situation too many times to count and trust me it is really irritating to deal with bad audio in post production. The friendly folks at Sennheiser India<\/a> were kind enough to send us their latest AVX series of audio mics<\/a>, and promised that we’d really love what we saw. They come with the tag line \u201cRelax, it\u2019s an AVX\u201d and I decided to put it through some tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First Impression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The build of the Sennheiser AVX Mic set is small but it is strong enough to be taken in a warzone. The small sized receiver is very convenient, as it does not put a lot of weight on the camera hence making your work easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
