MARKSTERY SHORT FILM FINAL_ MY RODE REEL 2017

MARKSTERY SHORT FILM is created by passionate individuals who have different creative and technical backgrounds. The sound recordist- Alex Moore recorded ADR for backup plan, and extra foley after all children left the set. Since the film has a large number of children participating, maintaining good atmos, good dialogue and minimising background noise were a big challenge for the team. However, with Rode Microphone NTG2 ( no sponsor intended ), we managed to capture the sound with the best quality for a 2 long days shoot.

We chose a quiet location, located 1 hour drive from Sydney, The Orchard, therefore, it was not too difficult for us to film the exterior scenes. Rode Mic had such a big influence on the success of the our film, particularly the sound. There were many audio challenges on set such as the bug mic didn't work and we had to fully relied on the NTG2.

On behalf of the Markstery Family, it was a remarkable experience to create this short film and we can't thank Rode enough to offer this great opportunity for all aspiring and professional film-makers around the world.
