Training Film

by dwcollette Apr 25, 2005 1:35PM PDT

My wife is an education consultant. I want to film activity in teachers' classrooms that she can use as a training tool. These films will be mainly teachers in front of their elementary school classrooms. My wife will then use these films in her teacher's workshops to demonstrate some of the techniques she is presenting.

I want the quality (picture and sound) to be top quality. Any suggestions? The more I research this, the more confused I get. The cost of the camera is not an issue.

The cameras you are talking about are in the 3-6 thousand

dollar range. Cameras like the Sony PD170 or the Canon XL2 have XLR mic inputs for the sound you mentioned. They would also have the video quality you want. Although you don't have to have XLR connectors, that is what is used when they start getting serious about quality. Also, good mics will have XLR connectors.

There is a big price jump from consumer cameras to Pro cameras. Here are a couple of links, both of them you have to call to get the best price. John
