Good stuff! The low-budget option really holds its own against the expensive approach, IMO.

Kudos on this article. I love this pragmatic content, and it demystifies an aspect of filmmaking that usually leaves me pretty bewildered. Thanks Oakley!

Storyboarding might be my 2020 New Year resolution. Thanks for the tips!

Interesting -- we have a Sennheiser Ambeo that we haven't gotten a lot of use out of yet, might be fun to take the MixPre 6 for a spin and post the results...

Hi George (and Dibyendu) -- thanks for the replies. If I can be more specific (I'd hate to be lumped in with the "badmouths" :), the content I've found questionable probably falls into two main categories -- stuff that is overtly political, and stuff that feels like it's poorly researched or written with a shallow grasp of the subject matter.

I've been an avid reader and occasional comment-leaver of NoFilmSchool for years, and I agree wholeheartedly with Dibyendu -- it's a valuable site and I believe strongly in the mission. But recent posts calling for the boycott of specific movies, or announcing the "introduction" of anamorphic lenses for mobile phones literally years after similar products have been used on feature films, have left me a little less confident in the editorial direction of the site.

This isn't meant to be a trash-post -- I've spent my career creating written, interactive, and video content for companies large and small, and I absolutely get the challenges involved with bringing a site like this to life on a daily basis. And I've been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism, a lot of which forced me to re-examine and try to address my own gaps in judgment and ability.

If I ever come across as being harsh or unfair, please call me on it. And again, thanks for replying. It's really gratifying to get this kind of thoughtful response.

This is the type of article I want to see on this site -- well-explained, practical, useful, and even accompanied by a handy visual diagram! I know this type of material has been covered before, but it's still refreshing to see on a site that lately has been pushing me away with some truly questionable content choices.
