The current quality suffices for listening to this fascinating talk. I do admire people who can simply talk about what interests them without a script or anything, without every other word being "errr" or "ummm"!
I've only got 6 minutes in so far, and right away I have one thought that leads to another...
It's a matter of personal taste of course, but watching Dave walking and talking, I keep wanting to reframe the picture slightly, so that he's walking into a partly empty frame. So for me, personally, I'd prefer to see him about one third in from the left of the frame (as he's walking from the left side towards the right), and the background occupying the remaining two thirds. Work with me and accept for the moment that it's a desirable thing to want to do (even if you disagree!). How are you going to do that? Well, it's easy with either the control wheel or the official extension rod attached - you can make slow but accurate adjustments to the framing, an offset if you like, with either even when tracking is on. But with the control wheel attached, it's going to be awkward to do when the camera is out of reach on a third party rod. With the official extension rod attached, unless you work without a phone for a screen, you can't use the audio accessory for connecting the audio source. It's these little gotchas which make the system a bit less usable than it could be. Personally, to get the greatest control, I'd use a Zoom F1 for a separate audio system clipped to my belt, and I'd hope to be talking in long unedited chucks in order to minimise the number of times I'd lip sync in post production! Not that it takes all that long.
Perhaps I'm being too nitpicky, but it is sometimes frustrating that some points of system design detail of the Pocket inhibits the fullest creative use of the device, for vlogging and other purposes. For instance there's the problems with audio sync at the 4GB file joins... I wonder whether Dave encountered that one when making this video?
And now, I'll watch the rest! |
