To make shorts/a feature.

Any links/feedback would be much appreciated.

Believe me, since I found this site all I've been doing is reading about audio, and I quickly realized that as soon as I have the means to outsource it to a pro that's what I'm going to do. Until then, I'm going to try to follow all of your other tips. I'm due a bonus from work soon, and instead of upgrading my camera I'm going to upgrade my mic!

Good advice. The most frequent issue we come across with submissions to our festival is poor audio.

Poor audio is an audience killer, much more so than poor visuals.

Rode Video Mic Pro for run and gun, Most definitely I'll even use it for interviews it works amazing.

On-camera mics, which is what I and my audio colleagues specifically recommend NOT be used.

Correct. When I hear this option coming out of the mouth of a filmmaker, I immediately quell it.

Agreed, avoid at all cost.
