QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 04:42 PM) If you want the film to be anything professional, DO NOT go with the sound recording on the camera. It will sound like crap when you hit the final cutting board. Small or big mikes will work, but with the small mics, you have a lot more options of where to put them. Basically know what camera I'm going to rent and it should be good, mic-wise, because we're getting an attachment.

That's better!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) Woods. The only reason I'd consider to be Brady, is because of Gisele Bundchen. Woods is probably the most dominant golfer ever. Can Tom Brady he's the most dominant QB ever? No, I don't think he can. Woods is more marketable, he has a worldwide fanbase, unlike Brady who's probably hated outside of New England (and who no-one besides Americans would know). Besides I would rather be able to rip a drive 300-350 metres, instead of throwing a ball. There were Japanese reporters at the Jacksonville game who told him that he looks very "Zen" out there and that they admired his grace and wanted to know how he does it.

Life isn't fair, and baseball isn't either.

so much like her father, my favorite President and personal hero.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) I would rather be Tom Brady and it isn't even close I concur.

Would we all rather be Tiger Woods than, say, Dwight Eisenhower or Ronald Reagan?

You're the man!

I am not, in the least, going for professionalism.

The follow-up, to clarify, is: can we have reasonably good sound with just a camcorder? Someone says to me, Yes! but I don't trust his ass as much as I do SoxTalk!!!!!!!!!!!

Making a film in the coming weeks; much of the pre-work is done. We've got most of the script (I'll finish it this week, hopefully), the actors, etc. etc. What we are about to do is get a little bit of equipment. Now let's be clear: we're going to go as "cheap" as we can, with just a camcorder (and not an especially fancy one), but I do have a few Qs about sound. Will a good camcorder record the sounds of people talking well or do you have to get mics for that in addition? Do you get small mics? Big mics? (I don't think we'll need those big ass mics they use on TV, professionally, but do we need to get small ones hooked to our clothes?) Most scenes are two people scenes. And what do you do with the mics? Do they connect to the camcorder? You record the sound AND the film at the same time but with separate utensils? What do you do? Any help would be appreciated.

Barking ridiculous.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 02:14 AM) Muhammad Ali. Novak Djokovic. Either way, call me when the Tom Brady NFL Football 2000-whatever video game comes out... I thought about Ali but I don't think he would beat Woods in such a competition. Partly because Woods is do damn popular, partly because Ali had a lot of people upset with him when he refused to go to Vietnam. Jordan's the candidate to beat Eisenhower!

So that's why he sounds like a twelve year old girl?

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 12:09 AM) Michael Jordan I can't think of anyone other than Jordan or Babe Ruth who I think could beat Woods in such a poll.

You lost me when you started to talk about hammering Tiger Woods!

I figured it mostly came down to money and comfort. Nobody wants to be hit forever, if the alternative is being extraordinary at getting a golfball from point A to point B.

I don't see the glory in golf like with any of those other sports.

ESPN ran a poll of the nation asking Who would you rather be? Tiger Woods or Tom Brady? Woods whomped Brady. I, for one, can't understand it, and it has little to do with a Patriot bias. I just don't understand why people would rather be a Golfer -- even if the dude is the Picasso of Golf -- than a man with three Super Bowl rings, about to enter another, with the touchdown record just finished. Maybe I have a bias against Golf, as I imagine Woods would beat just about any athlete in this contest except Michael Jordan. Why? Because he's really good at Golf? Who would you rather be? Tiger Woods or Tom Seaver? Tiger Woods or Peyton Manning? Tiger Woods or...Lebron James? Tiger Woods or Greg Maddux? Tiger Woods or Wayne Gretzky? I just don't get it. And I don't think I ever will.

Pitchers already throw 75% fastballs; I'd guess you see a little bit more with a solid basestealer on, but it's overrated.

I f***ing love Philadelphia crowds, especially in wrestling.
