Boards Comment – Filming my first documentary - out of country

I could transcode but that will take time. I think the idea is to import ProRes video files into FCPX for post production especially for interview segments when we record 4k 10but 422. Outside of interviews I think you are right and just shooting on our SD cards from our cameras would be ideal to not miss the shot. In this way we should at a lower bit rate outside of interviews to conserve space and have fewer potential for errors. We are using 2 Panasonic GH5 cameras, I wrote incorrectly. What sound gear would you recommend for interviews? I have some small Sony recorders with Countryman Lav mics that I was planning to use for the interviewee and interviewer. Then I would mount a RodeMic Pro onto my GH5 as backup audio. Thoughts?

Boards Comment – Filming my first documentary - out of country

Hello Alex,
Thanks for your feedback. The reason we are thinking of shooting with the Atomos Ninja Inferno is because it can record 4k60 ProRes which will help us in the post production workflow. We will edit and produce the movie in FCPX. We do agree that using our SD cards would be much easier, yet want the highest quality for the film and want a convenient post production workflow. Thoughts?

For the external hard drives, since we are planning to shoot with two GH5s for 2 weeks, we are thinking to purchase 3 LaCie 5TB Rugged Mobile Hard Drives. More space just in case. What do you think? Thanks again!
