Ok, guys thanks for the quick replies. I have tried the notch filter
and any progress seems subtle at best. Can't seem to find a "sweet
spot" on frequency.
Yes, I could be pissed at the camera operator...but it's really my
fault. In our defence, I will say that the subject was very antsy:
"It'll take you nearly an hour to set up??! I can only give you an
hour and half. Better hurry up.."
I had wanted to set up a boom mic as well as a back-up but decided not
to do it because of time pressure.
The video/lighting was great...audio sucks. The guy is very fast
talking and the pauses are brief. So maybe it will be useable.
Maybe I'll shoot again...next time ensure that there is plenty of
set-up time.....and check the sound carefully before pressing that red
botton.
Ya learn something new every time you shoot.
