Stereo Sound Recording
This workshop is aimed at new filmmakers/video makers who would like
to learn the basic principals in recording stereo sound on location. It
would be helpful to have had some prior experience in the basics of sound
recording. Taking our one-day introduction to sound recording on location
workshop can provide this.
Hands-on work on real location using

A recap of the nature of sound transmission and hearing
(demonstration and theory): To understand the nature of sound will
