This weekend I took home all of the equipment that I will be bringing to New Orleans. Everything seemed to work just fine, except the light panel. I am not sure if it just needed new batteries or if I was doing something wrong. I went through a quick interview setup and had my boyfriend be my interviewee. I just had him say his name and where he is from. I then took the footage and brought it into FCP and synced the sound (from wireless lav), then sent it to compressor and compressed the synced footage to DVCPRO HD 1080 x 1920. After this I recorded the view from my apartments window and the traffic sound using the Zoom H4N recorder. I again synced the sound and sent it to compressor. After I had both short pieces compressed I took it back into FCP and edited a 15 second test edit. All in all I feel like the equipment test went pretty well. I even watched some tutorial videos on both the 7D and the sound equipment.
