Of all the factors that affect the quality of a production, few have more impact than lighting and audio. We’re grateful to have had Aputure and Rode join us as sponsors for our short film. Both companies make excellent products with extreme attention to detail that can be heard and seen.

When selecting gear, our goal was to keep the production package as light as possible. For lighting, we used the Aputure 120D II, 300D II, and the new 4-pack of MC’s, which are small RGB lights that pack a lot of punch.
To capture audio on set we used RODE’s Videomicro NTG. This is an incredible little microphone. It has a built-in battery that lasts for ages and conveniently charges through USB-C, which also converts the mic to a USB mic that can also be used to record voice overs and other effects. The built-in gain control also makes adjusting levels on the fly fast and easy.
